What if finding the right people was the beginning of finding your purpose?
In part one, Matt reflects on how his move to Arizona and a spontaneous visit to Forge unexpectedly became the foundation for lasting spiritual growth. What started as a casual search for connection led to genuine friendships, honest conversations, and the slow, steady work of God drawing him in.
He opens up about overcoming early skepticism, what it means to be obedient when you don’t feel like it, and how the Forge community helped shift his focus from simply attending church to becoming rooted in it. Through laughter, honesty, and humility, Matt reminds us that God often works through presence before progress.
