Matt is a clinical psychologist and elder at Seacoast Community Church. His passion is helping people experience the transforming power of Christ. To do this, he integrates theology, psychology, and the journey of spiritual formation. In this episode, Matt helps us begin to recognize and better understand when and why we might be feeling a block in our relationship with God and others, and better yet, he leaves us with the hope that we can experience healing and closeness in our relationships.
Matt recommends a free app he has developed and is excited to share with everyone. Go to https://www.emotionfit.us to check it out. You can download the free resource for mental health at https://www.emotionfit.us/program. He also mentions a helpful resource called Freedom in Christ ministries, https://www.ficm.org/.
To learn more about spiritual formation, listen to an insightful conversation with Sue Smedley on Episode 31 ("Part 2") of the EXTRAordinary Lives podcast.
Ellen mentions Psalm 139:23-24. For a fun song that features this verse, listen to one of Ellen's favorites, "I Just Wanna Know" by 1980's Christian alternative rock artist Steve Taylor.
