This episode is for the woman who’s in a season of uncertainty… wondering, God, what are You doing with my life?”

Today, we’re joined by **Matthew** — writer, teacher, and the creator of the upcoming screenplay *English Corner* — a project birthed out of one unexpected “yes.”

After losing his job, Matthew found himself at a crossroads. Instead of spiraling into fear, he leaned into faith. God led him halfway across the world to teach English in China — a place he never planned to go. His obedience not only transformed his life, but also sparked a story that would later become a screenplay impacting countless others.

In this conversation, we talk about how sometimes the greatest breakthroughs show up disguised as detours.

*In this episode we cover:

* How a setback positioned Matthew for God’s bigger assignment

* The beauty (and discomfort) of saying *yes* when God’s instructions don’t make logical sense

* Why obedience is not a moment — it’s a journey

* How to hold on to faith when the path looks nothing like the promise

* The power of trusting God with outcomes instead of trying to control every detail

Mic-Drop Moments & Takeaways:

 “Sometimes God will close a door you were too loyal to walk away from.”

 “Obedience is the bridge between where you are and who you’re called to become.”

 “Setbacks are often God’s setup to reroute you into purpose.”
