Project Pastor Podcast

Matt Hyam started Southhampton Vineyard Church at the age of 23, and led it for 29 years. Matt has a passion for learning and teaching theology, because he believes it should be simple, and that the task of theology is to dig through the dirt to recover that simplistic faith. He's influenced by Anabaptist and Orthodox theology and has a particular interest in exploring Patristic teachings. Matt posts most days with thoughts and theological reflections under the name Matt musing... He runs occasional online seminars to address theological issues that affect Christians and also post snippets of teaching regularly on social media. Matt has written three books - "I Still Have More Questions Than Answers" (2002), "Life Before Death" (2018) and "There Must be More to This" (2021).

We talk about Matthews new book, Hope Always. It is the first practical, biblically-based, scientifically-grounded book that takes a holistic view of suicide. It explores why God is unequivocally for life, and what forces tempt us to choose death. Through the stories of patients and timeless truths of Scripture, it equips us to ask questions, seek help, and advocate for life.
