Why does life go crooked, and how should Christians respond when it does? In this episode of The Pursuit, James, Carlos, and Matt unpack what it means to suffer well. Instead of asking “Why me, God?” we’re called to ask, “How can You use this?” The conversation dives into lament, eternal perspective, and the danger of thinking pain is punishment. Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical steps, the guys show how God uses suffering to refine our faith, grow empathy for others, and point us toward the eternal hope we have in Christ.

In this episode of The Pursuit Podcast, James, Carlos, and Matt unpack what Romans 1 calls the passive wrath of God. From cultural confusion around gender and sexuality to addiction and depression, they reveal how brokenness can actually be God’s kindness in leading people back to Himself. The conversation highlights a resurgence of faith in Gen Z, especially young men hungry for truth, and the need for bold gospel preaching in a culture that often opposes Christianity. They close with a challenge for older believers to step into intergenerational discipleship, modeling what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Pastors James Griffin, Brad Chandler, and Matt Moody talk about the cultural obsession with hustle and the accumulation of wealth and things. Using Solomon’s warning against chasing the wind, they explore why “more” will never fix the deepest needs of the human heart. They talk about ambition, contentment, and the tension between wise financial stewardship and living open-handed before God. The conversation tackles the discomfort many feel when churches address money, reframing generosity as a discipleship issue rather than a fundraising tactic.
