Ep 517There’s So Much Bad News, Here’s How to Keep Your Faith| The Gospel of Matthew
Bad news is everywhere — wars, disasters, anxiety, and constant noise about what’s going wrong in the world. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, afraid, or like everything is falling apart. But what if the goal isn’t to panic… but to be prepared and grounded no matter what happens? This message is about how to stay steady, focused, and anchored when life feels uncertain. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the world lately, this conversation is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!

Ep 516You’re Not Tired of Faith, You're Tired of Fake People | The Gospel of Matthew
Ever feel like something about faith just doesn’t sit right anymore?A lot of people aren’t walking away because they’ve stopped believing—they’re walking away because what they’ve seen doesn’t feel real. When words and actions don’t match, it creates frustration, confusion, and distance.In this message, we unpack the difference between authentic faith and performative religion—and why integrity, honesty, and real relationships matter more than appearances. If you’ve ever felt disappointed, skeptical, or just tired of the disconnect, this conversation is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!

Ep 515The Reason So Many People Are Done With Church | The Gospel of Matthew
Social media changed something in all of us. When the like button appeared, life slowly became a performance — moments curated, stories crafted, and approval measured. But that same instinct can quietly shape our faith, turning something meant to transform us into something we perform for others. In this message, we explore why hypocrisy and performative religion push people away, and why authenticity, compassion, and humility matter more than appearances. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with religious hypocrisy or wondered why faith sometimes feels fake, this conversation is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!

Ep 514You’re Achieving More... But Who Are You Becoming | The Gospel of Matthew
Many of us spend years asking the same things: Am I doing enough? Am I keeping up? Am I falling behind? But over time a deeper question starts to surface, who am I actually becoming? In this message, we explore the tension between achievement and identity, why being busy doesn’t always mean we’re becoming better people, and why the most important measure of a life well lived might be something completely different than what culture tells us. If you’ve ever wondered why success can still leave you feeling restless, this conversation might challenge the way you think about purpose, priorities, and what really matters.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!

Ep 513Why Everyone Is Angry and No One Is Listening | The Gospel of Matthew
Why does every conversation feel tense, defensive, or explosive lately? Politics, social issues, and opinions dominate our feeds—but real understanding feels harder than ever. In this message, we explore why anger has become louder than listening, how “gotcha” questions shut down meaningful dialogue, and what it actually looks like to respond with wisdom instead of outrage. If you’re tired of endless arguments and want a better way to navigate difficult conversations, this message is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!

Ep 512Why Being Busy Doesn’t Mean You’re Healthy | The Gospel of Matthew
What if being busy isn’t the same as being healthy? This message starts with a simple moment—a child celebrating a single strawberry—and opens up a bigger question about the gap between how life looks on the outside and what’s actually growing underneath. We often measure health by productivity, activity, or appearances, but those metrics can quietly mislead us. This talk invites an honest look at what real growth looks like, where it comes from, and why slowing down may be the key to becoming whole again. If you’ve ever felt active but disconnected, this conversation is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!

Ep 511When Church Becomes a Show, Everyone Loses | The Gospel of Matthew
What happens when something meant to be meaningful turns into a performance?In this message, we explore why so many people feel disconnected, bored, or frustrated in church—and how that often has less to do with music or style and more to do with authenticity. Using a powerful moment from history, this talk challenges the idea of “going through the motions” and invites us to rediscover what real, life-changing worship looks like. If you’ve ever felt like church became more about the show than the substance, this conversation is for you.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]!
