## Resource

Matt Smallbone is here to talk about unanswered prayers, raising children, forgiveness, loss, and how sometimes the hardest seasons of life can become the beginning of something deeper. Matt shares the simple practice that transformed his own faith after years of feeling disappointed and disconnected, and why Jesus' words are still changing lives two thousand years later. Whether you're full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, this conversation is thoughtful, hopeful, and one you'll be thinking about long after it ends.
