In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Pastor Matt joins the show to unpack some of the most challenging topics facing believers today — navigating suffering, understanding the “why” behind pain, and fighting the growing epidemic of sexual sin in the church. He shares the story of losing his daughter Sarah, how he processed grief without losing his faith, and why choosing peace over understanding is essential for spiritual maturity. Pastor Matt also delivers a masterclass on the fear of the Lord, spiritual authority, purity, neural pathways, and the unseen spiritual dynamics behind sexual temptation. This episode is a rare blend of raw vulnerability, theological depth, and extremely practical wisdom for anyone seeking freedom and a deeper relationship with God. This is one of the most important and transformative conversations we've ever had on the podcast.

Our culture doesn't just move fast—it demands that we keep up. But what do our souls, our families, and our faith lose when we never slow down?Jonathan Youssef is joined again by author and nonprofit leader Kristen Welch for a deeply honest discussion about busyness, spiritual burnout, and the life-giving invitation to sit with Jesus. Kristen shares how years of faithful work and constant activity slowly led her toward spiritual depletion and how solitude and surrender became the pathway back to intimacy with God.Together, Jonathan and Kristen explore the dangers of equating productivity with faithfulness, the role of spiritual disciplines in a distracted world, and what it looks like to lead and live from a place of rest rather than striving.In This Episode, You'll Hear About:Why busyness is often celebrated, but spiritually dangerousThe difference between doing things for God and being with GodHow distraction can quietly create distance from the LordThe role of silence, solitude, and Sabbath in spiritual formationLearning to listen for God's voice in a noisy, over-stimulated worldCreating rhythms and habits that form us toward ChristRediscovering identity as a child of God, not a performerAbout Kristen WelchKristen Welch is an author, speaker, and the founder of the global non-profit, Mercy House Global. She is currently writing a forthcoming book titled The Little Big Life: Quieting the Noise to Find the Secret Place with Jesus, to be released in the fall of 2026.Subscribe & Share:If this episode challenged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.Follow Candid Conversations on social media:Instagram: @candidpodTikTok: @officiallycandidpodYouTube: @CandidPod
A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 34 - Understanding the Secret Place in Matthew 6, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. Comer uses the "secret place" from Matthew 6 to claim that environment matters in prayer. That passage shows that its motive that matters. Praying in secret was to avoid praying with mixed motives, not to earn favor or experience the presence of God. (duration 00:23:46) Click here to play

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

Welcome to Day 2732 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2732 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 91:1-8 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2732 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2732 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Secret Place of the Most High – Invincible Divine Protection. Today, we embark on a truly magnificent journey into Psalm Ninety-one, one of the most famous and powerful psalms of protection and assurance in all of Scripture. We are covering its opening, foundational verses, one through eight, in the New Living Translation. In our last conversation, we concluded the Prayer of Moses in Psalm Ninety. We wrestled with the frailty of human life, the sorrow of its brevity, and ultimately prayed for the wisdom to number our days so we could live with significance. Now, Psalm Ninety-one provides the covenant solution to that frailty: absolute security found in the eternal refuge of God. While Moses established that man dies under God's righteous anger, Psalm Ninety-one declares that the righteous believer, dwelling in God's presence, is supernaturally shielded from the dangers of the temporal world. This psalm is an ancient declaration of war against fear, assuring the faithful that they reside in an invincible fortress of divine protection. So, let us open our hearts to this powerful promise, learning how to claim our spiritual citizenship in the Secret Place of the Most High. The First Segment is: The Fortress of Divine Names Psalm Ninety-one: verses one through two Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my fortress, and my God, in whom I trust. This psalm begins not with a request, but with an immediate, unqualified statement of spiritual fact, establishing the location of our security: "Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty." "The shelter" (sēter) refers to a secret, hidden, or covered place—a sanctuary. To "live" (yashab) in this shelter means dwelling there permanently, not just visiting. This shelter belongs to the Most High (‘Elyōn), a name emphasizing God's supreme sovereignty over all other powers, spiritual or earthly. The result of dwelling there is "rest" (lun)—a profound state of safety and repose—found in the "shadow of the Almighty" (Shaddai). The shadow of the Almighty is a powerful image of covering, protection, and cooling relief from the scorching sun of danger. The psalmist then makes this promise intensely personal: "This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my fortress, and my God, in whom I trust." This...
This podcast discusses a special 9-1-1 we can call upon in any time of need or desire for protection.
In this episode, Samuel Goulet explores the foundational role of solitude and silence in prayer, emphasizing that true intimacy with God begins when we separate ourselves from distractions and embrace stillness. Drawing on biblical examples and teachings, Samuel discusses the challenges of being alone with God, such as anxiety and restlessness, and encourages listeners to build a regular practice of quiet time with God. He offers practical advice for scheduling solitude, highlighting how spiritual growth unfolds as we consistently seek God in the secret place, ultimately calling listeners to cultivate spiritual maturity by knowing God personally and pressing on even when it feels awkward or difficult.
