Episode 047: I Hate Goodbyes

Episode 047: I Hate Goodbyes

Welcome (back!) to the Grow Love Live Podcast! Matt & Dom are back in studio with another episode we hope inspires and encourages you to grow in the gospel, love like family and live on mission in the everyday stuff of life.

It's been a minute since the last episode and...well...a lot has happened. In this episode, Matt & Dom catch up on the changes, Matt & Paige's transition out of Seacoast, and the things God teaches us in "the in-between" of transitions.

We also talk about the best cheapest coffee, the gospel for witches, respond to some listener mail, and (try to) answer the BIGGEST question EVERYONE is asking: What is going to happen to the GLL podcast? Cue the suspenseful music: dun...dun...duuuuunnnnnnn!!!

So many reasons to dive in and join the boys as they say farewell to this season of life and ministry together.

Episode 046: Coffee, Sugar, Law & Grace

Episode 046: Coffee, Sugar, Law & Grace

Welcome to the Grow Love Live Podcast! Matt & Dom are back in the saddle with another episode we hope inspires and encourages you to grow in the gospel, love like family and live on mission in the everyday stuff of life. 

This episode is made possible/sponsored by a Starbucks fail with Matt's order this morning. But as is true with God's plans...nothing is wasted. Well, except the gross coffee that was dumped out. Other than that, the boys squeeze all the gospel juice out of this unfortunate event and end up talking law, grace, and what it means to trust the Spirit's leading as a New Creation. 

Pour that cup of brew, sip and enjoy the conversation!

Episode 045: Space Hotels, SCOTUS & Does the Holy Spirit Convict Believers of Sin?

Welcome  to the Grow Love Live Podcast! Matt & Dom are back with another episode we hope inspires and  encourages you to grow in the gospel, love like family and live on  mission in the everyday stuff of life. We packed lots into this one! Everything from space hotels to the leaked SCOTUS drafts regarding abortion, to questions about the Holy Spirit's role in the life of a believer. Plus, Matt reveals more about his complicated relationship with God. 


Dom also asked for something to be in the show notes that I (Matt) cannot remember. Sorry Dom! :-I

Episode 044: Outfits & Outrage: More Celebrity Pastor Drama + Dresscodes in Church

Welcome to the Grow Love Live Podcast! Matt & Dom are back with another episode we hope inspires and encourages you to grow in the gospel, love like family and live on mission in the everyday stuff of life...and today's episode is very much the everyday stuff of life...you know...like more celebrity pastor drama, Elon Musk goes to the store for milk and ends up buying Twitter. And of course some conversation around dresscodes in church.  The topics vary, but the BIG IDEA is this: what does it look like to be a missionary in the context God has placed you? Hopefully this episode helps bring clarity around what matters most...namely, the gospel being proclaimed. Enjoy!

Episode 043: The Easter Episode w/ Lots of Rabbit Trails

Welcome to the Grow Love Live Podcast!

Matt & Dom are back with another episode we hope inspires and encourages you to grow in the gospel, love like family and live on mission in the everyday stuff of life.

Ok, so about this episode...was it a mistake recording right after lunch? Maybe. But, despite how many tacos were eaten or how many rabbit trails were ventured down...it's always fun to sit across the table talk about Jesus, the cross, grace, and identity. 

May you be encouraged and reminded of what Jesus did FOR you and TO you on that cross.

Episode 042: What's Wrong with VIP Seating at Church?

Welcome to the Grow Love Live Podcast!

Matt & Dom are back with another episode we hope inspires and encourages you to grow in the gospel, love like family and live on mission in the everyday stuff of life.

Have you noticed all the stories of scandal, heartache, and drama that are being told about the Church? Yikes. It seems like every few weeks there's another  story, podcast, or documentary shining the spotlight on the beaten and battered Bride of Christ. It's sad, but it's not the end of the story, nor will these stories have the final say. In this episode, Matt and Dom share some commentary on the current stories we've encountered as well as some grace-based, Spirit-powered perspective. Hope you enjoy!

How forgiven are you right now, at this very moment? Confession, regret, remorse, and sincere apologies are nice, but unfortunately, they aren't enough to bring and secure God's forgiveness. God only accepts one kind of currency in order forgive sin. What is it? And where does it come from?

"He has risen...He has risen indeed!" Every Easter we celebrate what happened to Jesus and rightly so. But have we thought through all the implications of what the resurrection means for you and I today? In Romans 6, the apostle Paul describes another radical truth that we often forget to celebrate: What happened to Jesus on Easter also happened to YOU.

We are wired to give and receive love. One way we love each other well is to encourage and affirm the way we see God's grace at play in the lives of others. If this is true, why is giving and receiving affirmation such a struggle for us? 

We hope this episode ENCOURAGES you to grow as an affirmer and encourager in the lives of others.
