🥰😇 I believe I remember those sermons.

Love this!! Thanks for sharing!

From your lips to a gods ears Matt! LoL

Thank you for reminding us to look back on the victories we received knowing we can go forward with confidence in our Lord Jesus.

Beautiful. Familiar is some ways.

So good, thank you for your transparency, I too have spiritual attacks at night unfortunately on occasion, I will be praying for you. I will be sharing this video with my CR leaders this week, great content.

"I'm having to bend and adapt, and be flexible to be what people need me to be." - well said

Dude I have that exact shirt.

im a control freak x 100

Go Lakers! Great leadership lesson Pastor.

I like that Double Down. ❤

Wow! Your grandmother was with Katherine Kaulman. That’s awesome. I get so much out of her.

This is so good Pastor Matt, I loved the explanation of the leader and the followers, great perspective to consider plus appreciate!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ❤

Guitar...just me and the Holy Spirit. Usually just starts with a little practice, warm up, then before I know it..."I trust in God...". Thanks for sharing PMP

Thabk you! How often do we all feel like that which we know and have done must be in our future plans, but ultimately God will direct us towards the future He has designed for us♥️🙌🏻

I appreciate this video and your openness in sharing your experience. It really is the model Christ set for us, one of guidance through connection. It’s certainly true in parenthood. I’d love to hear your thoughts on working out conflict in a group healthily. Not that specifics are needed, but in my own case (just to give some context) my wife and I are a part of a friends group/gathering of believers, and the leader brought her a “correction” after my wife addressed some bullying behavior with another mother of the group (in regard to repeat problems that had arisen with her children and bullying/antagonizing behavior). She diminished what had taken place with our kids (I had never seen my son so bothered/upset by what another kid had done, I’ve been a close dad, but only my wife was present that day) and the leader seemed unwilling to acknowledge the initial bullying behavior that took place, only to criticize my wife for how she felt about her bringing it forward. My wife didn’t cuss or anything crazy, only asserted facts about what had taken place and the wrong that had happened, requesting the other parent put a stop to the behavior (after reoccurring problems). My wife asked to sit with the leader and another leader of the group (a mutual friend) after her “correction” to discuss what took place (as the leader said quite a lot, caught my wife off guard) and to hold herself accountable with the leader for what is said before a sister in Christ, as it felt the leader may have misconstrued what took place (and also to make sure everyone had a peaceable understanding of one another, even if there was some disagreement with how things should be handled). That’s a lot of specifics, but even just how to handle conflict when the leader of the group says she’s unwilling to sit down and hear you in front of others, even with her own leadership (she will only accept a personal phone call about it) and she doesn’t really seem open at all to hearing her out (but more annoyed and bothered). We don’t want to go to others and “gossip” but are unsure how to move forward. Quietly leaving seems the “Christian” response these days 🫤 silence and prayer for now. Thanks if you get a chance to consider this and appreciate you sharing your wisdom here.

No audio in the right channel

Hey, wait. You've used this on me. JK

I’m not sure why balloons suddenly appear in my video!😂😂😂. Maybe AI liked what I had to say. They were listening 👂

Aww ❤Bentley. Thank you again for the wonderful words of encouragement. I love being with babies and children up to the age of nine. They are what makes my heart full!!!

if you watch to the end of the video, I introduce my dog (actually, my wife's dog) Bentley. But, wanting to call him Ocala, from Ocala, Florida. What do you think? Name change? Bentley or Ocala?

Love it! Congratulations on 30 years BTW. Lisa and I celebrated our 30th on July 30th. Love her more today than I ever have.

The redirect works well. I have found that by putting the EGR (Extra Grace Requires) person to work it subdues the thought process. "Todd, what you've been sharing is good. Would you...look up this verse? Could you take some note for me?" Like you stated. Works for a short term solution, but boundaries is huge.

thank you Matt for that encouraging word

This is good to know in my current state of being.

Make an album please I love you & thank you 😊😊😊😊

You're amazing, Ive been trying to find your name since the first day of christfellowship, I believe in you Love your voice

That is beautiful, Matt. This is Lisa. It has been so long since I heard your music. I miss it a lot. You were always like the pied piper to my ears. :)

So beautiful! Glad to see you still creating music!

Nice, Matt! Heard some Brubeck in there! Defying the Bohemian Jazz lifestyle that surrounded him, he was married for 70 years. Dave Brubeck and his wife Iola became a Christian later in life. I will Message you a link about his faith journey. Let's play!

beautiful job Pastor Matt!

Beautiful!!!
