29: Embracing the Unknown: The Transformative Power of Surrender
Today’s Guest: Matt Edmundson
Matt is the husband to his better half Sharon and dad to three, almost fully grow kids. He runs his own business specializing in e-commerce and marketing, and he's been doing that since before most people even knew what that was. He is also the founder and pastor of Crowd Church - an online church for those who don't see the point of church.
Here’s a summary of this week’s story:
Matt and Anna delve into various topics related to faith, God's involvement, and unexpected journeys. Matt shares personal accounts that demonstrate God's intervention in his business ventures and the positive outcomes he has witnessed through prayer. He explains how, in moments of uncertainty, he turned to prayer and experienced remarkable breakthroughs and favour in his entrepreneurial pursuits.
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Matt discusses the establishment of the online church, Crowd Church, during the challenging times of the pandemic. He describes how his background in technology and business unexpectedly converged with his newfound role as a pastor. Matt explains that while he initially resisted this unexpected path, he eventually recognized the connections between his skills and passion for reaching people with the message of Christ in a digital space. The discussion highlights the importance of being open to unexpected opportunities and the potential for God to work through unconventional means.
Throughout the conversation, Matt emphasizes his life motto, which encapsulates the core principles he lives by. He stresses the significance of having faith in a faithful God, coupled with a willingness to act and embrace the unexpected. Matt encourages listeners to step outside their comfort zones, think creatively, and value progress over the fear of failure. His inspiring message challenges individuals to trust in God's leading and step into new ventures, knowing that He is always present and ready to guide them.
In exploring Matt's journey, the conversation sheds light on the broader theme of faith and how it intersects with various aspects of life. Matt's experiences serve as a testament to the power of faith and prayer in navigating both personal and professional endeavours. The discussion showcases the transformative impact of embracing unexpected paths and trusting in God's providence.
