MATT CHANDLER | Part 2, Thriving in an Age of Anxiety and Outrage (Ep. 593)

In this episode, we welcome Matt Chandler back to the show. He is a world-renowned preacher, pastor, and author. He’s been the Senior Pastor of The Village Church in Texas since 2002 and is also the Executive Director of the board of the Acts 29 Church Network. He is also the author of The Explicit Gospel, The Mingling of Souls, To Live is Christ To Die is Gain, Take Heart, and his newest book out now called The Overcomers: God’s Vision for You to Thrive in an Age of Anxiety and Outrage. In this interview, we discuss why the timing is perfect for his new book, why he chose to use the book of Revelation to elucidate his thesis, the challenge he received from God concerning how comfortable he was getting in ministry, the future of The Village Church, the one sermon he wishes he could take back, his thoughts on “men’s ministry” vs. “man-friendly churches”, the drama that broke out after he spoke at Steven Furtick’s church, and much more. Let’s get into it…

Was waiting for this conversation in Part 1, but happy Chandler addressed the MLK50, I attend an Acts29, and haven’t listened to him much since then, although he didn’t say that he would take the message away, I appreciate that it was spoken about

loved this - gr8 interview. Thanks Kyle

[@austinbryant5787]

Bro! Kyle! It was so good to meet you Friday night. Your presentation was awesome! Thanks again for your commitment to push back darkness and forge spiritual mental and physical resilience! Can't wait to hang with you when you come for saturated!

[@SeanAG86]

I have never heard of you or this podcast at all, but it popped up on my timeline and I’m so glad it did! Brother, you ask Matt all the things I would if I ever got to sit with him!🤣This was absolute 🔥! Amazing! You won a follower today! Great interview.

Must be nice to meet Jesus at your vacation cabin. Lifestyles of the rich and the famous, they're always complaining.

[@nathanketsdever3150]

Great interview. Thanks for this. I'm glad to see Matt Chandler is back at being a strong voice in church and thus culture. My reflection draws me to the conclusion that the "radical middle," not the "reasonable middle" is: 1) A loving stance toward those who are considering and have partaken in abortion. 2) An overall anti-abortion stance. 3) Support for adoption, including advocacy and financial commitments. Putting our money where our mouth is. 4) And care for poor mothers a la Matthew 25. Again, putting our money where our mouth is. 5) Doing all of the above for the right Christ/God-centered reasons. Or some combination of the above which prayerfully engaging Jesus and the Holy Spirit brings fourth. Persued passionately combining Truth and Love. This is the message of James, Jesus' life and ministry, and Jesus' message to the Pharisees about being unclean on the inside. I would make the argument that wisdom dictates and practicality lives out that advocacy against abortion is only effective when it's combined with the sacrificial love and service included in shepherding those vulnerable families. Not to mention that example or model helps provide the needed Father influence and masculinity that is necessary in that very moment. And there are probably hundreds of Christian organizations doing this work, probably one or more in each major city in every state that are available to partner with along with various national organizations. I think it's about coupling our time, attention, and priorities with our underlying passion for the least of these. That turns the church from a talking head to action to which the accusation is but water off our backs.

Amen and Amen.

can't believe I have seen 2 interviews on polar opposite ends of the woke spectrum here, John Cooper and now this, MC? I wonder if his jujitsu would help him with John Cooper, lol. He would need some biblical jujitsu for that encounter. So many formerly great pastors like Matt Chandler, David Platt, and many others are just lost to the woke mind virus now. It's not biblical. unsubbed. undaunted Life: a wokesters podcast.

To be clear I came into this with similar experience to you. With that said. Did you listen to the interview? I think Matt has changed his mind….in which case glory to God.

[@trishash79]

@@fitu_jack5901 I agree with you. Reading a few comments in here wondering if We're all actually listening. I thought it was an edifying conversation. Part 1 & 2. @45:25

@@fitu_jack5901 MC is a chameleon. When the winds were blowing the way of wokeness, he jumped on board. Now that wokeness has been exposed for what it is and is fading in popularity, he is posturing himself to get back in with the good guys. Be warned and do not be deceived.

[@fitu_jack5901]

@@Dillun34to be clear I don’t think of him as a leader haha. I’m just encouraged when I see people blown by the wind being blown in the right direction 😉. Maybe he’s sincere, maybe not. I’m not in his congregation so doesn’t really make a difference to me. In the meantime maybe the individuals he influences will find more potent sources that had their eyes open the whole time. With that being said whether he speaks the truth out of a desire for selfish gain or sincerely may we rejoice that he speaks it.

[@gardentiger69]

MC has a general contempt for men in the church. Listen to his sermons over the years. He white knights women in the church whilst beating the men just like his dad beat him. And Acts 29 is not transparent.

We have a Bible study every Tuesday morning with guys from all different backgrounds and denominations

Wow the last thing he said where the men go so does the family. This is what I have been hearing God speak to me. Thank you

[@NineThreeSixFour]

What's interesting is hearing a lot of Michael Foster's quotes coming form Matt Chandler.

[@nateperry405]

Killer episode! I’m glad to hear we share the elevation church sermon as a favorite of Matt’s.

I've never heard the term "Mailing it in". That hit hard for me!

How so?

[@app13s33d]

I wonder if God would ever say that to us. Not here to judge or anything. Just genuinely curious if God would ever judge us the way we say things to one another. Cause if so, I would be in big trouble. 😞

Thankfully we can use the news (not all news) and correlate to Bible prophecy (i.e. Israel becoming a nation again 1948)
