This episode we have author & coffee roaster Nate Westwick on our show! Nate recently published a book, 'Clearing the Path' that Matt actually wrote the foreword for. This discussion explores the demystification of spiritual life, emphasizing Jesus's extensive use of questions throughout the Bible. It underscores the importance of small groups in fostering spiritual growth and community. Differentiating between podcasts and pastoral roles, it delves into the soul's deepest longing for connection and belonging. The church is portrayed as a model of familial love, transcending biological ties. Addressing contemporary challenges, it confronts misconceptions perpetuated by platforms like TikTok and societal judgments against the church. The conversation also touches on healing from church-related wounds, contrasting the destructive influence of Satan with the redemptive power of God's love.
