Description
In this compelling episode, we explore the remarkable transformation of Dr. Viggo Olsen, a brilliant medical student and committed agnostic, who set out to disprove Christianity and ended up dedicating his life to sharing the gospel in Bangladesh. Dubbed by The New York Times as "another David Livingston," Olsen became a pioneer in medical missions, Bible translation, and church planting, serving faithfully in a predominantly Muslim country. Drawing on Psalm 19, we unpack Olsen’s journey from skepticism to faith. His story reveals the power of creation to declare God’s glory and the life-changing impact of a personal investigation into the claims of Christ. Through his study of science, Scripture, and prophecy, Olsen and his wife came to a life-altering conclusion—God is real, the Bible is true, and Jesus is alive. This episode offers valuable insights into how a former evolutionist and agnostic found undeniable proof of God’s existence and the reliability of the Bible. It also includes Olsen's practical four-step method for making decisions in line with God's will. Tune in for an inspiring story of faith, wisdom, and a life devoted to serving both the physical and spiritual needs of others.
