Pride in the Church
I have a conversation with my friend, the Rev. Matt Nightingale. His story of accepting himself is moving, and it echoes so many of the stories of those of us in the LGBT+ community. As Pride Month comes to an end, let us lift up those who work for justice, inclusion, and family in our world.
Surviving COVID-19
A conversation with my friend and colleague, the Rev. Heidi Carrington Heath, about her journey as a COVID-19 long-hauler. We only hear about the extremes in the news — what about those who recover from the initial symptoms but have a long path ahead?
The Host
Hey there, I'm Matthew — a church planter, father, husband, Disney aficionado, Apple fanboy, Anaheim Ducks diehard, and teller of stories. I'm a textbook ENFP and an Enneagram 7 (wing 8).
These days you'll find me hanging out with my toddler and our puppy while trying to get some work done, and looking forward to an evening of unwinding with my husband.
