  • 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.
