In this episode of Scattered Moments, Matt reflects on the unsettling beauty of Scripture—a Book that comforts us while simultaneously confronting us. The Bible does not flatter humanity. It leaves the failures in. No deleted scenes. No polished heroes. Just the raw story of God meeting broken people with relentless grace. This reflection explores the danger of reducing God’s Word to a theological weapon, a political mascot, or a religious artifact while missing the living Christ at its center....

A Scattered Moment about uncertainty, daily grace, and learning to trust God one day at a time. In this episode, we begin in a corporate meeting where an accidental PowerPoint slide sends me into a week of anxious “what ifs.” From there, we journey into the wilderness with the Israelites who woke up every morning asking the very same question: “What is it?” Manna — literally meaning “What is it?” — was God’s daily provision. Not predictable. Not fully explainable. Just enough for today. Somet...

Tonight’s guided meditation is a quiet invitation to rest in the peace and presence of God.

Motherhood is rarely quiet… and almost never easy. 🌿 In this special Mother’s Day episode of Scattered Moments, Matt reflects on an ordinary moment in a grocery store checkout line that became a reminder of the extraordinary strength, wisdom, sacrifice, and holy love carried by mothers every single day.

Tender, poetic, and deeply human, this reflection reminds us that the Savior who redeemed creatio...

Mother’s Day is a time of celebration. But for many people… it is also complicated. For some, it is joyful and loud—filled with phone calls, flowers, family lunches, and handwritten cards. For others, it arrives quietly. Some long to be mothers but never had the opportunity. Some carry the ache of broken relationships. Some think of mothers who are no longer here. Some remember kindness. Others remember wounds. And yet, when I think about motherhood, I also think about something larger than b...

There comes a moment when following Jesus means leaving something behind. In Gospel of Luke 9, three voices rise with good intentions—each one sincere, each one hesitant. And in each response, Jesus reveals a deeper truth: faith is not just about what we believe… it’s about whether we are willing to move forward when the moment comes. What do you do when the future feels uncertain? When grief lingers on the horizon? When the past keeps calling you back? Sometimes the most faithful words you c...

Have you ever found yourself waiting… and wondering if help is ever going to show up?

Not to God. In this episode of Scattered Moments, we reflect on the heart of a Father who never stops watching the horizon… never stops waiting… never stops calling His children home. For those we love who are still wandering— for the prayers that feel unanswered— for the quiet ache of waiting— this is a reminder: God has not given up. Drawing on the story of the prodigal son, the writings of Henri Nouwen, and the enduring image of a God who pursues what seems lost, this episode invites us to...

Why do we feel the need to explain everything? When life breaks… when loss comes… when the world feels like a mess—our instinct is to find someone or something to blame. It gives us a sense of control, even if only for a moment. But what if some questions aren’t meant to be answered? In this episode of Scattered Moments, we step into the tension between chaos and control, between our need to understand and God’s invitation to trust. Through the story of Job, a quiet word from Augustine, and t...

Have you ever been asked to do something… and your first thought was, “You want me to do what?” In this episode of Scattered Moments, Matt shares a story from a moment he didn’t see coming—being asked to preach on the spot, with no preparation and no clear direction. Just a Bible. A room full of people. And that quiet panic we all know too well. As his Bible fell open to the feeding of the five thousand, one line rose to the surface: “You give them something to eat.” It wasn’t just a passage—...

There is one truth I come back to when life starts to unravel—when the diagnosis lands, when the conversation looms, when the darkness gets loud: Jesus is with me. In this episode of Scattered Moments, we slow down and return to the quiet promise at the end of the Great Commission—words we often read past, but desperately need to remember. This isn’t about trying harder or holding it together. It’s about waking up to what is already true. A reflection on presence, fear, and the steady compan...
