MATT CHANDLER | Becoming Like Jesus (Ep. 910)

About this episode

Matt Chandler discusses his faith journey and the challenges of sanctification in this episode.

In this episode, we welcome Matt Chandler back to the show. He is a world-renowned preacher, pastor, and author. He’s been the Senior Pastor of The Village Church in Texas since 2002 and is also the Executive Director of the board of the Acts 29 Church Network. He is also the author of The Explicit Gospel, The Mingling of Souls, The Overcomers, Take Heart, and his newest book out now called Becoming Like Jesus: The Everyday Journey to Living a Life of Holiness. In this interview, we discuss how his jiu-jitsu journey helped him understand that our journey of faith won’t “always be up and to the right”, the importance of The Beatitudes, why most Christians struggle with their sanctification, what he has done about some of his previous messages with themes that included elements of Critical Theory, how we can train for meekness, our struggles with wisdom and discernment, the importance of community for the Christian, and much more.
