Ivan was someone I had known many years before but had lost contact with. I rediscovered our connection when I joined a men&#8217;s Catholic group at my parish, where he led our Bible study sessions.<br \/>\nMy wife was Catholic, so I went to church with her. I had been baptized Catholic when I was a month old, so I had some understanding of the religion, but found it hard to understand the Bible. Seeing Ivan there made me comfortable joining the group.<br \/>\nOur meetings focused on reading and understanding the Bible, and applying that understanding to our lives. My main problem was not seeing how the Bible related to my own life. I would think: &#8220;What does an episode in King David&#8217;s life or what happened to his army have to do with me?&#8221; This is where Ivan succeeded. He made me realize and understand how every word of the Bible has meaning and relevance for me and everyone.<br \/>\nThis was about six years ago, during a time of great personal difficulty in my life. I still look back at those men&#8217;s group meetings with fondness. We were usually 20 guys, and often had heated debates. I think we all learned a lot.<br \/>\nMy faith has grown, but Ivan and those meetings were important, even essential, catalysts to that growth. I&#8217;ve especially understood how destructive our own human will can be, and now understand and desire to live by God&#8217;s Divine Will, saying &#8220;FIAT!&#8221; (as Mary did) to God&#8217;s work in our souls, and seeing God&#8217;s love guiding all events in my life.<br \/>\nMichael Stettler, PhD (University of Zurich, Switzerland)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-comment-reply-link has-small-font-size\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"comment-reply-link\" href=\"https:\/\/ivanbasson.co.za\/?replytocom=23#respond\" data-commentid=\"23\" data-postid=\"31\" data-belowelement=\"comment-23\" data-respondelement=\"respond\" data-replyto=\"Reply to Michael Stettler\" aria-label=\"Reply to Michael Stettler\">Reply<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<ol><li id=\"comment-29\" class=\"comment odd alt depth-2\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40px\"><div class=\"wp-block-avatar\"><img alt='Ivan Basson Avatar' src='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b4974592d6672722d16fdb3cb2a11d6a158d8edecbdbb86f2059123d2eedb3ce?s=40&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g' srcset='https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b4974592d6672722d16fdb3cb2a11d6a158d8edecbdbb86f2059123d2eedb3ce?s=80&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-40 photo wp-block-avatar__image' height='40' width='40'  style=\"border-radius:20px;\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6d3e64f57c50d58713cb0904b5108619 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-6d9d4f581fbca4d8d316fd6277a174eb wp-block-comment-author-name has-text-color has-black-color has-medium-font-size\">Ivan Basson<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flex wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px\"><div class=\"wp-block-comment-date has-small-font-size\"><time datetime=\"2025-03-03T12:57:18+00:00\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ivanbasson.co.za\/#comment-29\">March 3, 2025<\/a><\/time><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-b5f7b759f70f43567040d742dbc93708 wp-block-comment-content has-text-color has-black-color\"><p>Hi Michael, thank you for reminding me of a hilarious moment when I learnt that Fiat is not a vehicle but rather a Latin term for\u201d Let it be done\u201d\u2026as with Abraham s \u201cfiat\u201d moment &#8211; being obedient to God,  by leaving his homeland and by faith going into a land he did not know.
