I am Matthew Podcast: Overcoming Past Mistakes with Spiritual Growth

So, picking up on our talk about the fruit of the Spirit, and because of a conversation with my family, it made sense to talk about Gentleness. I want to challenge you in the coming week to find some way to let this fruit be evident in your life. If not, what can you work on this week to allow gentleness to be a word that describes you this week? - Robert Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) Galatians 5:23...

Hey guys, so this podcast episode has been my longest regular episode to date. God put a lot on my heart and every time i was about to be done, I felt burdened to continue. I wanted to speak to Hope in our lives but do it in a loving way. I hope you guys are blessed by this. Love you all! - Robert Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) John 10:9 John 14:6 John 3:16

Greetings! So this week I talked about my speaking engagement at First Baptist Clinton Missouri and their Celebrate Recovery! But more importantly I tie that into God's peace in our lives. I hope you guys enjoy this episode. Feel free to check out the link below to see the testimony. Look for the "January 28th, 2025" Episode. God Bless!-Robert January 28, 2025 | Celebrate Recovery Cl...

The Devil wants to steal your peace. My question to you this podcast is, what peace do you have to steal? Is it the peace the world gives in physical things, or the true peace that only comes from Jesus. I hope you guys enjoy. Next week, I'll share about my experience at First Baptist Church in Clinton, MO! But check out their Celebrate Recovery Facebook page and listen to my testimony yourself! -...

Blessings! This episode came from left field for me. After church on Sunday, I came home and had to get this off my chest. I want you guys to know how much I appreciate you supporting the podcast and I also want you guys to know that God has a purpose in your life! Keep trusting in Him! Hope in Christ is worth it! -Robert Support the ministry: Fundraiser by Robert Howard : Donate to Empower Redemp...

Greetings! My voice was all better so i just shared some updates and talked about upcoming speaking engagements, and some new advertising tools that I'm sure you will like. But you have to listen to find out! - Robert

Greetings. With my voice still a little under the weather, I am pulling out an episode I recorded before our Christmas series. I hope you guys are blessed by it, I Hope that it points you to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. -Robert Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) 2 Samuel 9

Happy New Years to you! I hope that you are excited about what God is going to do in your life. I want to tell you, this episode did not go where I thought it was going to go. But after the ministry updates, God took me to some places I havn't been to in awhile. Not going to spoil it, you have to check it out but I will end on this: What are you going to do this year to draw closer in your relatio...

Merry Christmas my brothers and sisters in Christ! I hope you guys have a great Christmas. To those looking for a little cheer on this day, I want you to know Christ is the only way we can have true joy today. I hope this episode encourages you today! -Robert Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) Malachi 4 Psalm 34:18 Psalm 147:3 Isaiah 61:1 Luke 4:18 Luke 2:25-32

So, as we go through the Holiday season, we need a reminder that we are blessed. Not by how much food is in our pantry, the designer clothes on our back, the muscle car in our garage, but by the fact that Christ came and died for our sins. I want us to look at the rich young ruler in Matthew 19 and realize that the stuff is only stuff. To leave everything for Christ, will gain us eternal life. Be...

So, in continuing with the Christmas themed episodes, I go down many rabbit holes, but the overall theme is this: What Christmas is and what it isn't. I really hope you are enjoying me off the cuff. I'm doing my first poll to get your feedback on the recent episodes. Let me know what you think. Enjoy! -Robert

So, a comment made this last Sunday sparked this podcast. As we enter the holiday season, I want us to be reminded of the greatest gift that was given to us, that we never deserved. I want us to be thinking, if the only thing Jesus did was save me, would He be worthy of my praise? Let us focus on this Holiday season of how we can give God our best towards those that may not deserve it or can never...

So on Tuesday evening when i should have been prepping the next episode, God laid it on my heart to record something special to go with this week. So, with Thanksgiving as the theme, I talked about the real reason we can have thanksgiving in our hearts. Again, another episode off the cuff, my voice is still raw from the worship Sunday evening, and I stayed up till 11:30 pm to cut this so I hope yo...

So, my intention was to give some quick updates and get into Gods Word for the week but the updates quickly became the episode. I want you guys to know that I am praying for you, I hope you enjoy this ministry updates and I threw a little Gospel truth in at the end. Have a Great week! - Robert Link to Donate to the Ministry: Fundraiser by Robert Howard : Donate to Empower Redemption through I Am M...

Let's dive into a piece of scripture suggested by a listener. I do my best to unpack God's Word and bring us to this understanding; that when we have a hope that is faithful to Jesus, He is always faithful to us. -Robert Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) 2 Timothy 2: 1-15

In this episode I really wanted to give some encouragement to you. Sometimes this life throws some curveballs but when we place our trust in Jesus, Hope becomes a wellspring in our souls. I hope you enjoy. -Robert Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) Numbers 17

So now that the ministry is starting to take shape, I pondered on what maybe God is doing in your life? Sometimes its scary because we don't get the whole picture all at once. For me, I'm glad I didn't get the whole picture, because it would have scared me to see what God had in store for me. But as we learn in Mark, God has planted a seed in us, and we need to let it grow into the plans God has f...

Robert here! I was ready to talk about the ministry but i caught a bug and my voice is kind of shot, but God still pressed on me another message that I want to share with you. We should always examine our walk to make sure we are walking with Jesus. Are you walking with Him? Join me as I talk about LifePoint's rock the block weekend and how John was more than just an eyewitness to hope, he shared...

Hey guys! Robert here! This is my first time posting the podcast and I hope that's a bit of a clue concerning my announcement. You know we all go through trials and valleys in our lives, but as long as we focus on the Shepherd, it will always only be but a shadow. Scriptures Mentioned (CSV) Psalm 23

With the world growing darker, the works of the flesh are becoming more and more obvious. But believers should be set apart not by works of the flesh but by the fruit of the Spirit. Join us as we study the original Greek of the fruit of the Spirit. If we have these in increasing measure; it will give Hope to a lost and dying world.

Have you ever questioned your salvation? Many of us do. By using scripture, Robert breaks down 3 questions to ask yourself in order to build confidence so you "know that you know". Scriptures Mentioned (CSV): 1 Peter 2:7 Matthew 7:24-27 Matthew 28:19-20 John 3:16 Romans 10:9 Mark 1:17 John 10:27 Matthew 10:28 John 21:22 John 15:12-15 John 17:26 John 10:27-30

Robert explains how the Christian walk is much like a person in exile, and how we should conduct ourselves in a world that is not our home. We live for a greater homeland that will be found on the other side of exile. Scriptures Mentioned (CSV): Hebrews 11:13-16 Galatians 5 Psalms 139:23 1 Peter 2:11

Robert uses the story of Paul and Silas's chains being loosened in prison to explain how when God moves in our lives it often is not only to affect our lives, but others as well. God used people before us to share His message with us and it is up to use to share His message with others. Scriptures Mentioned (CSV): Acts 16:16-35

Robert speaks again to the depravity of the world and shows us a mirror in God's word that can show us where our walk is with Christ. Scriptures Mentioned (CSV): 2 Timothy 3 Matthew 6:24 2 Corinthians 10:17
