Show Questions: Cold Open: We’re living with an uncertain economy right now with experts saying that we are entering into a recession…What advice would you give to young people who are just starting to figure out their careers and finances during economic times like this? Episode Questions: Anonymous, Moreno Valley: On your last Debrief, you brought up a couple that wanted a divorce, and you basically said the husband needed to man up and put in the work to save his marriage and family. My question is, what do you say to a couple when one of the spouses still wants to leave the marriage even after they’ve put in the work to heal it? Turning around broken relationships doesn’t seem as just “putting in the work.” Mindie, Menifee: “I've read Exodus many times; I'm just now recognizing that God foretold of their slavery to Abraham back in Genesis 15. As I'm reading through Exodus, chapter 1, I can't help but think of the moms and dads to little boys that were not Moses' parents. How do I justify the fact that God didn't save all of those boys too? I know he saved many through the midwives, but then Pharaoh commanded them to be thrown into the Nile. My heart is sad for them. How do you defend those who are angry with God or don't wish to follow God because of a situation like this in his word?” Jonathan, Moreno Valley: “In regards to love and law, can you explain what Paul is talking about in Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.” Thank you, Pastor Matt. Praying for you and Sandals” Josh, Riverside: “Pastor Craig Groeschel says that everyone is a leader because everyone has influence over someone. You speak a lot of men being boys. I want to be the best leader/Christian I can possibly be. I want to be able to properly lead my family, future sons and daughters, future wife, potentially future flock (If the Lord even has me lead one), and honestly, anyone that the Lord puts into my life. How do I know that I am ready to be a leader?” Ep. 196 The Recession, Marriage Problems & Following God's Law | The Debrief Podcast with Matt Brown Like, subscribe, and leave us a comment.

Welcome back to The Debrief Podcast with Matt Brown! We hope your holiday season was restful and filled with joy! Pastor Matt is starting a new sermon series titled Old Rules for a New Life, a series around the ten commandments and why we still need them today. WARNING: This episode of The Debrief contains language that might be offensive to some viewers. We believe that personal stories of racism of any kind are important to tell un-censored because the pain they caused was unfiltered and real. We're diving right back into the show to answer your questions! If you would like to submit a question to Pastor Matt, you can do so at move.sc/ask. If you would like to donate and help support the efforts of this show, you can head to donate.sc. Thank you for listening to The Debrief Podcast with Matt Brown! Show Questions:Question 1: "Anti-semitism has been a conversation in the news and social media a lot lately. Why do you think anti-semitism is still showing up even in 2023? Question 2: "What makes Mt. Sanai the "mountain of God"? Was it considered the mountain of God BEFORE Moses was at the burning bush? Or is it referred to as the "mountain of God" after/because of the fact that Moses experienced God there?" Question 3: "Pharaoh ordering the murder of newborn males and Moses escaping that order seems to parallel Jesus escaping Herod's order to kill every male-born Jew. is there significance to this? If so, what can we learn about Moses, Jesus, and God's deliverance in this?" Question 4: "Hello, Pastor Matt. I have a cousin who is part of the LGBTQ community, and she is getting married next year. I've been struggling with whether I should attend or not because of my faith. I want her to know I love her, but I'm scared of losing her if I decide not to go to her wedding. What are your thoughts?" Question 5: "How do I know when it's God that I hear calling? Sometimes, especially after praying for His path for me, His guidance, and clarity to see and follow His will, I believe I hear His answer. After I have done what I believe is His will, things are even worse than before. How do I trust the answers I believe I hear? Things have continued to decline almost to the point of no return through these "pathways" I perceived as His answers in the last five years, yet I still strive to listen, hear, and do His will. How do I know I am hearing God's call and/or will for me?"

Gregg TenElshof, PhD. is a Professor of Philosophy at Biola University. He has written many books on how Eastern thought can provide unique and intriguing perspectives to the Christian life. His most recent book, For Shame, was released in August of 2021 and takes a look at how shame has impacted our culture.

So we've talked about what deconstruction is; how do we go about recovering from deconstruction? What if there is pain and trauma associated with my time at church and as a christian?

The term "deconstruction" has been tossed around a lot in culture these last few years, and its definition can get a little confusing. When we say deconstruction we are referring to the thought pattern and trends of looking at systems of power and structure, and removing those old ways of thinking. In culture, we've seen this happen in corporations, education, in our local and federal government and even in spiritual circles. But too often we can completely toss out a product in the name of reform and miss out on the good things that were brought forth in those arenas. Can we deconstruct in a good and healthy way? What would that look like for the Christian who is trying to learn and live in the rapidly changing culture of 2022? Now, the reality of it all is that deconstruction has been around for longer than we think. It has been giving a bad reputation, but what if it's not all bad? Join us as dive into a conversation with Pastor Matt around deconstruction and his perspective.

Welcome back to The Debrief Podcast with Matt Brown!  In 2021, searches for “how to heal” on google reached an all time high worldwide. The events of the last two years have prompted people around the world to seek out forms of healing for their inner lives and relationships. And while there is a unifying reality to the fact that people all over the world are looking for a sense of healing, the methods and sources people are turning to for healing are unique and diverse. Psychics and “spiritual guides,” crystals as an energy source, meditation or ancestral rituals have all become commonplace in popular culture today as viable paths to healing. In addition to people becoming more open to the idea of needing a type of spiritual healing, people are also more interested in the supernatural as a means to healing than in previous times. A decade ago stories about miraculous healings were looked at with skepticism. Today, stories about the miraculous and unexplained become viral and generate discussions online. In 2022, people are open to the idea of needing a spiritual solution for their healing and it’s culturally accepted to look for a miracle.  In this episode we'll talk about what healing means, if we should use medication, how the individualization of the church can impact our healing and many other topics!
