About this episode

Savannah Chrisley and Matthew West discuss faith, shame, and the importance of living authentically.

This episode of Unlocked is one I didn’t know I needed. Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West joins me and what starts with laughing about The Masked Singer somehow turns into one of the most honest conversations about faith, shame, marriage, and what it actually looks like to live what you preach. We talk about growing up with pressure around faith, feeling like all eyes are on you, and the danger of becoming performative instead of personal. Matthew opens up about being better at talking about God than talking to Him. That one hit me. We talk about grace, about shame, about how easy it is to remember our worst mistakes and forget that God doesn’t keep score the way we do. We also get into marriage in today’s world, breaking generational cycles, apologizing to your kids when you mess up, and why humility might be one of the most powerful things a parent can model. There’s something really beautiful about hearing a man talk about choosing his wife every day and putting faith at the center of his home. If you’ve ever questioned where God is in the middle of your hardest seasons… if you’ve wrestled with shame… if you’re trying to build something healthy after coming…
