My name is Matthew Curtis, and I want to welcome you to the Foundational Truths for Life Podcast. When I was four and five years old, I had a series of divine experiences with God where I received my call to preach and teach the Good News of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Eventually, the call of God was burning so fervently inside of me that I made the decision to wholeheartedly commit my life to Jesus and the ministry He was calling me to. But four years into ministry, the Lord gave me a clear revelation of how much I didn't know. I was divinely inspired to immerse myself in the Word of God and in communion with Him so that I might fulfill His plan for my life and finish my course with joy! For His Kingdom's sake! For His people's sake! Being a preacher's kid, I was in church at least 3-5 times per week growing up, but many times, 5-7 days a week! My parents were also missionaries to Honduras, Central America, and we even lived there for a short time. Needless to say, I heard a lot of preaching and teaching; I'd witnessed many things. I heard good and encouraging sermons, bad and discouraging sermons, every kind of sermon you could think of, and every kind of…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-11T04:18:16.772274+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/foundational-truths-for-life-7114533"},"episode":{"title":"How to Build Your Foundation (Pt. 3) | Encountering Jesus","slug":"how-to-build-your-foundation-pt-3-encountering-jesus","published_at":"2025-04-10T03:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/foundational-truths-for-life-7114533/how-to-build-your-foundation-pt-3-encountering-jesus","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/foundational-truths-for-life-7114533","url":"https://foundational-truths-for-life.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/5587461c-21fd-4386-a743-fb734f8e02e3/Foundational-Truths-for-Life-Ep-13-How-to-Build-Your-Foundation.mp3","summary":"🏛️ The Encounter That Sets the Foundation. In construction, a building is only as strong as the foundation beneath it. Spiritually, the same is true: our lives in Christ can only rise as high as the strength of the foundation upon which we’ve built. What’s more, the foundation sets the limits for what can be built above it—both in size and weight. You cannot build a more successful Christian life than your foundation will permit. Modern foundations are poured with reinforced concrete, but in Biblical times, they were carefully built by stonemasons, beginning with a single cornerstone. All other stones are laid in reference to this stone, which determines the position, orientation, and alignment of the entire structure. 📖 In this latest episode, we explore how Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone of our faith. Our revelation of Who Jesus truly is leads us to a face-to-face encounter with Him. This moment becomes the spiritual equivalent of the cornerstone being laid in our foundation. From here on, everything else takes shape. 🎧 Listen now and join me as we look to the Word of God and build a life that will stand the test of time. #NewEpisode #ChristianPodcast #ChiefCornerstone #FirmFoundation #FaithInJesus #BiblicalTruth #BuildOnTheRock","meta_description":"🏛️ The Encounter That Sets the Foundation.
