  • Podcast for republicans

    In a recent episode pastor Matt really just said that because he doesn’t have family members who are undocumented he HAS to see the ICE raids through only a legal lens. Not a compassionate lens, not a loving one, not a biblical one, but a legal one. Sadly comments like this show that he is a republican first and a Christian second. I can no longer support those that try to justify their hate using the word of God.

  • More Consistency Please

    Absolutely love this podcast ( when it’s on and has been updated) have been a follower for years and this was part of my weekly routine was to listen to Pastor Matt as I was commuting and it became a conversation piece with my older teenage children. Love the content and the message, Pastor Matt has taught me HOW to be a Christian not just a believer. Only disappointment is that the schedule isn’t consistent.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

279:The Mystery of Heaven, The Holy Spirit, and Manifestation
Q: What is heaven actually like, and will we be able to see or be with our loved ones there?
There is no definitive verse for this; the speakers suggest we will be aware of loved ones and that heaven involves a transformed perspective and a new earth, with specifics left to mystery but anchored in Paul's and Revelation-inspired imagery.
279:The Mystery of Heaven, The Holy Spirit, and Manifestation
Q: Could manifesting be likened to prayer, or does it replace faith and trust in God's will?
Manifesting is rejected as an adequate substitute for prayer or trust in God, described as akin to magic, with emphasis on praying, hoping, and trusting God's plans rather than asserting one's own outcomes.
279:The Mystery of Heaven, The Holy Spirit, and Manifestation
Q: A community group asks whether the Spirit moves in people or for people prior to their profession of faith.
The host explains that the Holy Spirit can move before salvation, convicting people of sin and their need for Christ, while also noting that salvation requires a response and that there is theological diversity on the exact timing.
280: Growing an Authentic Faith
Q: How do you shift from a work-centered to a relationship-centered life with God?
Focus on being a child of God, rely on grace, and engage in concrete practices like prayer, gospel-sharing, and reading Scripture; use community and discipleship for deeper growth.
E278 | Church Planting with Luke Bryant
Q: What is the long-term vision for church planting in Europe?
A bold vision to plant churches in many European cities, fueled by ARC Europe and Sandals Church partnership, with a sense that many cities could have a church presence and a renewed interest in real faith.
