Scott continues the discussion of Matthew as he addresses the concept of being unremarkable disciples, talking about the importance of trusting in Jesus to empower us despite our human flaws. Through stories like his encounter with a Russian soldier who felt unforgivable and the miraculous healing of his sister, Scott illustrates that Jesus' sacrifice covers all sins and that extraordinary events can happen through divine intervention. Scott also talks about the necessity of teaching and comprehending all aspects of the Bible, even challenging portions, and shares his personal struggles with doubt, sin, and purpose, reinforcing that even broken individuals can declare the truth of God.

This episode also covers the Great Commission, framing it as an invitation to be part of God's larger plan rather than a burdensome task. Touching on themes of truth and deception, he likens today's dishonesty to historical events in the Bible while contrasting The Great Lie with the supernatural truth of Jesus' resurrection.
