Strength 2 Overcome

We all have goals. But are the choices you’re making every day actually  aligned with the life you say you want? In this episode of  Strength 2 Overcome , I use a very real—and very uncomfortable—experience with my teeth and Invisalign to talk about something much bigger:  alignment . Sometimes getting where you want to go means accepting discomfort, making changes, and staying committed even when...

In Episode 61, I take a hard look at my relationship with social media — something I once wanted absolutely nothing to do with. The more I’ve used it, the more I’ve started asking some uncomfortable questions about what it’s doing to our attention, our thinking, our identity, and even our spiritual lives. I break down seven traps that I believe are incredibly easy to fall into, and I’m not standin...

After last week’s conversation about lust, temptation, and the things that can quietly take control of our lives, I started thinking about what we should be building instead. In this episode, I take a step back and look at the bigger picture — the things that shape who we become, how we show up for the people we love, and the things that can either strengthen us or hold us back. Join me as I unpac...

This episode took me a couple of weeks to put together because there’s a lot to unpack, and I wanted to approach this topic with honesty, vulnerability, and sensitivity. I draw from the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. John Bradshaw, and Dr. Gary Chapman , while also sharing some of my own experiences and what I’ve learned over the last 18 months of intentionally working through this area of my life....

The goal was five minutes. I landed at 5 minutes and 56 seconds. So… technically, I failed the experiment. But hopefully, I still managed to give you something meaningful. What started with my sister getting stuffed into a wheelie bin and a Reel unexpectedly crossing 70,000 views, turned into something I didn’t expect — a reminder that five minutes can actually be enough to make someone laugh, mak...

What happens when you put two siblings together and let the stories come out uncut ? In this episode of Strength 2 Overcome , I’m joined by my sister, Na Morton, for a conversation that goes way beyond the polished version of our childhood. We’re the youngest two out of five siblings. From heartache to memories long forgotten, this episode touches on battling for attention, finding our place in th...

Are you building the life you want… in time to actually live it? From the time we’re children, we’re taught to work hard, save for retirement, and chase “the number” that promises freedom someday. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question all along? In this episode, I share a personal shift in perspective that challenged the way I think about success, time, and the future. Drawing from over...

What were you created to do? So many people spend their lives chasing happiness, success, or someone else’s definition of purpose—only to discover they’re still dissatisfied.

Together, we’ll explo...

Over the past six weeks, the sports world has been nonstop.

But when does a healthy passion become something m...

How much of your life is spent asking “What if?” What if I’d taken that job? What if I’d stayed? What if I’d left? What if I’d made a different decision? In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of walking away from an eight-year carpentry career, moving back and forth between Australia and the United States, being unexpectedly fired from a job I loved, and eventually finding myself owni...

Stay with me on this one. It’s a longer episode, but this isn’t a question I’m willing to rush through. We’re going deep today, because if we’re going to ask whether the Bible itself could be a fraud, then that question deserves more than a few sound bites and easy answers...

There comes a point where the questions you’ve been asking begin to change the way you see everything. Maybe you’ve questioned history, science, culture, church traditions—or even the Bible itself. But once you’ve gone down those rabbit holes… how do you keep living? How do you stay connected to the people you love when they don’t share your curiosity? How do you continue searching for truth witho...

Becoming a father has taught me far more than how to raise children. It’s changing the way I understand the Father. In this episode, I share the story of my first daughter’s birth, the lessons fatherhood continues to teach me, and why some of life’s greatest blessings arrive while life is still messy. Along the way, we explore Scriptures, the Prodigal Son, and what it means to be loved before we’v...

For a long time, I wanted the benefits of authenticity without the cost of authenticity. I wanted people to agree with me. I wanted people to understand me. I wanted people to like me. Over the years, I’ve learned that conviction eventually costs something. In Episode 49 of Strength 2 Overcome, I explore the tension between approval and authenticity, appearance and substance, faith and action. Dra...

Have you ever stopped to ask whether your power was actually taken from you… or whether, little by little, you gave it away? In this episode, I share personal lessons from divorce, injury, marriage, fatherhood, and recovery, and how I unknowingly allowed other people’s opinions, painful seasons, and limiting stories to shape my identity. We’ll explore the difference between what happens to us and...

Episode 47 Dives deep into the hidden influence of ancient gods, mythology, religion, and culture that still surrounds us every single day. From the names of the days of the week and months of the year… to planets, ancient civilizations, divine bloodlines, Nephilim, mythology, music, entertainment, and even the names and words we’ve inherited spiritually — this episode explores how history leaves...

A torn bicep 14 months ago started a chain reaction that eventually led me through financial collapse, bankruptcy, rebuilding, and ultimately a completely different perspective on life, purpose, and gratitude. At the time, it felt like everything was falling apart. But looking back now, I can honestly say some of the hardest moments of my life ended up redirecting me toward deeper faith, greater p...

Lately I’ve realized a lot of people aren’t just physically tired… they’re spiritually exhausted. Constant noise.   Constant pressure.   Constant distraction. In this episode, I talk about why so many people feel drained right now, what might actually be underneath it all, and why so many people are struggling to find peace even when life looks normal on the surface. Maybe exhaustion isn’t just ph...

Did you know the Book of Enoch is still included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible? Why do some churches discuss the Nephilim, giants, and the Book of Enoch while others rarely mention them at all? In Episode 44 of Strength 2 Overcome, I explore the biblical accounts of giants, the Nephilim, Noah’s flood, and the Book of Enoch, along with the questions these topics continue to raise for believers to...

Most people are programmed from birth to accept a limited view of reality—until someone questions the narrative. In this eye-opening episode, Matt Morton unpacks how we’ve been conditioned to think inside the box, from childhood education to mainstream media and religion, and why questioning these stories is the first step toward true freedom. You’ll discover how the school system, media, and even...

Have you ever wondered if what we've been told about the shape of the Earth is actually true? For over a decade, I studied and researched — then, my walks, my prayers, and some wild signs started nudging me toward finally sharing my findings. Let me tell you — understanding the biblical account of creation isn’t just about faith; it’s about unearthing the foundation of what we believe—and whether...
