What Witness Really Means | Beyond the Sermon

About this episode

Mat Hotho and Pastor Magrey deVega discuss the meaning of being a witness and the importance of sharing personal stories in everyday life.

This week Mat Hotho and Pastor Magrey deVega sit down to unpack what it really means to be a “witness” — and why sharing your story doesn’t have to look loud, confrontational, or perfect. From bracelets and spiritual practices to invitation, vulnerability, and finding faith in everyday life, they explore how ordinary moments can become something worth sharing.
