There are many fireside chats available on the Uni Students’ youtube channel that are practical and timely responses to questions many of us may have. You can find the timestamps and questions addressed in the video description box. 

Below are some of our highlights!

"What can I do when my heart is really busy most of the time, and I get distracted?"

When my mind is preoccupied, I have just learned not to fake it with Him. He knows...When I was honest...that was all He was waiting for. Just be honest with Him.

"It's hard for me to go on with the Lord because I don't love Him enough. I want to love Him. How do I love Him more, and how do I see that He loves me?"

Agape... is a much deeper, more solid, higher, and much better love [than phileo (2 types of love)... Love is a decision... I love Him, but I don't always feel it... when I feel not that much that I love the Lord is when I say it the most... As you declare your love to the Lord from your spirit, there will be a response in your spirit and you will realize, "yes, I really love the Lord."

"How do I discern between my own feeling and the Lord's speaking?"

This really has to do with our daily walk before the Lord. To come into the reality of the one new man, we need to pray ourselves into the Lord. When we pray ourselves into Him, we become more clear... Many times, the Lord's voice is so subtle that we really wonder, "is it me or is it the Lord?" but the Lord is training us... over time, to know [His] voice. Often times, this still, small voice is the Lord's peace within as we go in a certain direction. Eventually, our mind gets renewed to the point that our thinking is the Lord's thinking.

"Often, I'm too stressed, worried, and anxious to contact the Lord in the morning. Many difficult situations are in my life lately...How can I stop myself and calm myself down to spend time with the Lord? How can I focus on the Lord, in spite of all life's distractions and anxieties?"

We’ve got to take some time to enjoy the Lord…If you enjoy the Lord, believe me, you’ll handle your problems so much better…One of the best tools…is just to call upon the Lord’s name. Forget about everything…The Lord’s name is rich to all who call upon Him. Amen. His name can help deal with whatever it is you’re going through.
