In this episode of the LovePastors Podcast, Gary Underwood sits down with Matt Haupt, Lead Pastor of MissionView Church in North Canton, Ohio. Matt opens up about his unexpected journey from chasing a career in Christian music to answering a radical call into pastoral ministry.

Along the way, he shares how God rescued him — not only from the trappings of “almost-famous” but also in restoring his marriage and reshaping his mission. As Matt puts it: “I thought I was on my way to being a Christian musician, but God had something entirely different planned.”

It’s a story of redemption, calling, and the surprising ways God redirects us when we think we’re headed somewhere else.
