What happens when a metal comedy creator reaches 1 million followers on TikTok and chooses to boldly rep Jesus along the way?
In this episode, my good friend Matt Reed shares how he grew a massive platform without preaching but instead used humor, creativity, and scripture in captions to become a bridge between faith and heavy metal culture. We also dive into the power of asking and why bold faith requires bold requests, how opportunities open when you stop playing small, and what happens when you ask God (and people) for more.
This conversation is honest, funny, and encouraging for anyone trying to live out their faith, pursue purpose, and trust God with the next step.
