Living with Boundaries

In this episode, Josh and Matt take on one of the most misunderstood and often avoided topics in the Christian life: money . Is money good? Is it dangerous? Should Christians pursue it, avoid it, or something in between? Too often, we swing to extremes—either believing wealth is evil or chasing it like it’s everything. But Scripture paints a much deeper picture. Money itself isn’t the issue… the h...

Josh and Matt sit down to walk through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—and the moment where everyone was expected to bow. But instead of just looking at the story, they bring it into real life. Because today, we’re still being asked to bow—just not to a statue. It can be our kids’ sports. Our teams. Our jobs. Our reputation. Even our families. In this episode, Josh and Matt talk about...

We’ve all said it: “I just feel like…” But what if our feelings aren’t telling us the truth? In this episode of Living with Boundaries , we dive into one of the most countercultural truths in today’s world—that feelings, while real, are not always reliable. Anchored in Jeremiah 17:9 , we unpack what it means when the Bible says the heart is “deceitful above all things” and how that impacts the way...

Church isn’t just a place you go—it’s a community you’re meant to be part of. In this episode, we take a deeper look at why church is essential to a strong, growing faith and how it impacts the way we lead our families and live our lives. It’s easy to think we can do faith on our own—watch a sermon online, pray privately, and stay disconnected. But God didn’t design us to walk this journey alone....

Gratitude isn’t just a reaction—it’s a way of life. In this episode, we take a deeper look at what it truly means to live a life marked by thankfulness, not just when things are going well, but in every season. It’s easy to praise God in the wins—the promotions, the victories, the answered prayers. But what about the waiting seasons? The hard moments? The times when God feels silent? Real gratitud...

Fear has a way of keeping us stuck. In this episode of Living with Boundaries , Josh and Matt talk about the fears that can stop us from stepping into what God is calling us to do.

Youth sports can be a great gift — but when practices, games, and travel start driving every decision, something else often gets pushed aside.
