The One With Matt Chandler — From a troubled, performance-driven childhood to a life shaped by grace.
Pastor Matt Chandler tells his slow, unhurried story: how an unlikely friendship and a youth camp encounter led to a life in Christ, the winding path into vocational ministry, and the rhythms that sustain him.
Matt reflects on the effectual call that changed him at 17, early ministry in small Texas churches, the formation of the Waiting Room Ministries with Shane & Shane, and the surprising journey that lead him to an almost extinct church which has now become a highly influential, life-changing church now known as “The Village Church” with regular attendance of thousands weekly.
Matt is executive chairman of Acts 29, a global church-planting network; a clear, gospel-centered preacher; an author, speaker, and podcast host.
Listen today and hear wisdom from Matt who has helped believers follow Jesus for decades. Matt would encourage you to exchange performance for affection and presence with Jesus.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
