Stuart Olyott opens 2 Thessalonians 2 :13 – 3:5 and paints a portrait of “true Christianity.” A real Christian, he says, is saved—a word “stronger than helped or rescued”—delivered from God’s wrath through Christ’s death and resurrection. That rescue rests on God’s loving choice, the Spirit’s sanctifying work, and believing the gospel truth: “God chose you as the first‑fruits to be saved through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth”.

A thoughtful exploration of the “secret walk” with God through the intertwined practices of prayer, meditation, and temptation. Drawing on Martin Luther’s insight and inspired Scripture (Psalm 27:14; Isaiah 40:31; Philippians 4:6–7), the sermon emphasizes the importance of waiting on the Lord, slowing our frantic pace, and punctuating life with Sabbath stops.

In this episode of A Walk With Mr. O, a group of Christians debates whether doctrine really matters. Mr. O responds by showing that the world around us is full of doctrine—just not biblical doctrine. He explains why Christians were once called atheists, how belief systems shape everything, and why it’s impossible to live a faithful Christian life without clear, sound doctrine.

Feeling like the lone believer in your family or office? Walk with Mr. O as he reveals how one faithful life can launch a gospel chain reaction. Also, want to have fewer regrets in your life? Stuart Olyott shares four slow-paced habits — single-tasking, savoring each moment, taking micro-Sabbaths, and resisting hurry — that keep your impact high and your regrets few.

According to Romans 9, you might wonder why we should even evangelize. But if you keep reading into Romans 10, you see that God uses means and messengers — and that we must go and proclaim the gospel. People often overreact in two ways: either they think predestination makes evangelism pointless, or they fear evangelism denies God’s sovereignty. Both extremes miss how Scripture holds these truths together.

In this deeply personal interview, Pastor Mack Tomlinson recounts his year-long battle with spiritual darkness and chronic insomnia, how the Psalms became his lifeline, and the miraculous moment when God delivered him through a trusted friend’s counsel.

In this message Mack Tomlinson walks us through Psalm 73’s honest journey from envy and self-absorption back to a Christ-focused heart. You’ll see how comparing yourself to others feeds “me-ism,” why bitterness clouds your vision, and how a single shift in perspective—fixing your gaze on Christ—breaks the cycle and renews your strength.

In this two-part walk, Mr. O speaks gently to those weighed down by life’s sudden storms. Part 1 addresses the crushing feeling of being overwhelmed—when everything hits at once and you don’t know where to start. Part 2 explores those unexpected waves of discouragement that seem to come out of nowhere. If you've ever felt like giving up or like you're drowning in responsibilities, this quiet walk might be what your soul needs.
