In this powerful episode of The Knock Podcast, Bobby and Gerrad sit down with Matt Granados—author, entrepreneur, leader of the men's ministry at North Road Church, husband to Maria, and father of three. Matt opens up about his journey from building million-dollar businesses in his 20s to realizing that worldly success could never fill the emptiness inside. He shares the turning point moments where God placed mentors, Scripture, and life-shaking experiences in his path, all designed to bring him to a place of full surrender. What began as a pursuit of achievement and control eventually turned into a life centered on obedience and faith.

Matt dives into the struggles men face with pride, insecurity, and the fear of submission, reminding us that true strength comes from surrendering to Christ. He challenges listeners to rethink how they approach the Bible, offering practical advice like circling verses you don't understand, continuing to read, and investigating later. His story highlights how important it is to surround yourself with Spirit-led mentors who are willing to walk beside you, speak truth, and call you higher. 

Another theme Matt unpacks is the shift from chasing high performance to embracing optimal performance—living with high output at a sustainable pace, rooted in faith rather than pride or pressure. He explains that people aren't the problem; people have problems. When properly equipped and guided, individuals can experience transformation in business, family, and faith. Matt also opens up about his daughter's miraculous survival after a life-threatening medical emergency, an event that reshaped his understanding of stewardship and reminded him that God alone is in control. 

This conversation is raw, challenging, and deeply encouraging. It's a reminder that obedience itself is the prize—not the outcomes, not the accolades, but the willingness to follow God's call no matter where it leads. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a husband, a father, or simply someone searching for meaning, Matt's story offers a roadmap for trading self-reliance for stewardship, results-obsession for obedience, and momentary wins for eternal impact. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it. 

If you're searching for more—lean in.

Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?
