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.
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.
Every time I remember to listen to this podcast, I have been so grateful. Thank you for talking about difficult topics and opening those discussions. I’m wondering if this review spot is the appropriate place to ask a question or if there is another place? Thanks again!
Pastor Matt brings great answers to tough questions and really brings a balance to hot button theological issues where most people run to extremes. Love the show, love you guys, keep doing what you are doing. You guys are making an impact on people’s lives and helping people such as myself find healing in my marriage, personal life, and in even ministering through others after listening to content from the debrief. Thank you so much you guys keep doing a phenomenal job. Got a suggestion. Die har... more
