Ever Had a Moment You Couldn’t Explain? | Beyond The Sermon

About this episode

Mat Hotho and Pastor Magrey deVega discuss the concept of 'positive disintegration' and its role in spiritual growth.

This week Mat Hotho returns to Beyond the Sermon to sit down with Pastor Magrey deVega and unpack the idea of “positive disintegration” — the moments in life that shake us, challenge us, and ultimately shape us. Together, they reflect on childhood fears, experiences of the Holy Spirit, and why spiritual growth often begins with discomfort, uncertainty, and learning to trust that everything will be okay.
