  • Authenticity

    Matt I was really surprised when I started listening. I’m going to be honest when I saw you were going to start a podcast I was expecting a fully assembled set and you running before you even hit the ground but not this.

    These cupboard conversations are so good, love the realness and vulnerability you present.

    Great word too, keep it up man.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

One Heart 2, Session 7: The Asbury outpouring and reconciliation with Dr. David Thomas
Q: Can you give us an overview of what happened at Asbury?
Dr. Thomas describes how the outpouring began with a few students praying after a chapel service, which quickly grew into a significant spiritual revival marked by worship, repentance, and deep community engagement.
One Heart 2, Session 4: Hope in a Genocide with Reverend Joseph Nyamutera
Q: How would you describe those two places? You've used the language of the right place and the wrong place. How would you describe those?
The wrong place is when emotions sway you to take sides without understanding both perspectives. The right place is standing in the tension, facilitating dialogue and peace between conflicting parties.
One Heart 2, Session 4: Hope in a Genocide with Reverend Joseph Nyamutera
Q: What would you say to people to motivate for a ministry of reconciliation for every believer?
Reconciliation is crucial and crucial to personal growth. It should not be limited to leaders, but practiced by all believers in everyday life.
One Heart 2. Session 1: May we be one with Nkosinathi Mbuyazi and A.C. Lee
Q: Why should we be taking 50 days to pray for this?
It’s important because we see how divided the human race is today, and prayer is crucial in desperate and urgent times.
2: A call to Action with Anneke Rabee
Q: Could you tell us just a little bit about why prayer is so important to you in your faith journey?
Prayer became essential to me after experiencing personal and marital challenges; it opened my eyes to the potential for healing and unity, not just for individuals but for our nation.
