Talks On The Road

In our final episode of the season, we welcome special guest Pastor Spencer Plumlee from Christ Fellowship in Mansfield. Pastor Matt and Spencer have known each other for over five years, and today they sit down to discuss church cooperation and work in the Southern Baptist Convention of Texas (SBTC).

Spencer leads the Shepherds Collective through the SBTC, a network designed to connect pastors in meaningful fellowship and encourage a kingdom-minded partnership among churches. Listen in as they discuss the importance of cooperation, pastoral relationships, and working together for the sake of Christ and His Church.

Listen to Pastor Matt as he further unpacks Genesis 28 in this week's Unsaid On Sunday as he addresses topics from the text like the further rejection of Esau, the motif of exile, and Jacob's lack of faith in response to God.

Today we continued our study through Genesis 28. In this passage, Jacob walks in obedience to Isaac while Esau continues in disobedience. As Jacob journeys on, the Lord meets him in a dream and reaffirms His covenant promises — that Jacob would be blessed, his offspring multiplied, and that God Himself would be with him wherever he went until every promise had been fulfilled.

One of the central questions this text presses upon us is this: Are we living for the City of God or for the city of man?

Listen as Pastor Matt walks through Genesis 28 and shows us the faithfulness. He is the one that overcomes our imperfect faith through His plan and His cross.

We conclude our latest Talks on the Road counseling series by discussing how Christians can thoughtfully care for and encourage those walking through physical diseases, injuries, and disabilities. Often, it can be difficult to know what to say or how to help when someone is suffering in these ways. Listen in as Pastor Matt, Candace, and Pastor Joe close out this counseling series with a conversation on how believers can respond with wisdom, compassion, and biblical care.

Did Rebekah act in faithful obedience to God's promises, or did she sin in the deception of Isaac? In this episode, we wrestle with one of the most difficult questions in Genesis 27. Knowing that God had already declared "the older shall serve the younger," Rebekah seeks to secure the blessing for Jacob through manipulation and deceit rather than trusting the Lord to accomplish His Word in His own way. Was her motive righteous while her methods were sinful? Or was her entire approach an act of unbelief? Listen to Pastor Matt as he further unpacks this part of Genesis 27.

This week, Pastor Matt is joined by special guest Jason Thacker, author of In the Age of AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity. Together, they explore the social, moral, and ethical challenges shaping our increasingly digital world.

As artificial intelligence continues to influence so much of everyday life, this conversation offers a grounded, Christian perspective on how we can engage it with wisdom and discernment. Listen in as they unpack what faithful navigation of the digital age can look like.

How do our decisions and God's will intersect? Listen as Pastor Matt, Candace, and Pastor Joe explore this question on this week's Talks on the Road.

Sunday morning, we walked through Genesis 25 and saw the depth of God's undeserved grace on display. While there was much to unpack, we weren't able to fully explore the significance of the birthright given to Jacob instead of Esau. Listen as Pastor Matt helps us consider the end of the chapter and the grace of God at work in His sovereign purposes.

In this episode of our biblical counseling series, we address the struggle of pornography—an issue that reaches deep into the heart. Our prayer is that you would be equipped to pursue those who are struggling, anchored in the nearness and unchanging character of God.

Listen as Pastor Matt unpacks the story of Isaac and Rebekah in this week's Unsaid On Sunday. This text points us to the providence of God—how He is actively at work, orchestrating every detail and ordaining all things with perfect purpose.
