The Debrief Podcast with Matthew Stephen Brown

This week Pastor Matt and Donna talk about the potential for an economic recession, how to handle marital problems, and what it means to follow God's law.

Show Notes

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?”
