The Overcomers with Matt Chandler Matt Chandler

We've been walking through the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and if you'll remember, the first horse is a white horse and its rider has a white robe and a crown. It looks like Jesus, but it's not Jesus. And so I said in Episode 1 that this rider is like an antichrist. It comes presenting itself as a gospel but it's no gospel at all. And one of the ways this plays itself out is outside the church is false gospels — this will save you or this will make your life complete, But inside the church it looks like heresy. It takes some aspect of what's true about God and it twists it.
My friend Russ Roberts, trying to find his way out of a markedly rebellious lifestyle, found himself entwined in the alluring yet misleading doctrines of the International Church of Christ. His experience serves as an example of the perils that lurk within seemingly pious communities, where the truth of Jesus Christ's message can be obscured by well-crafted imitations. It’s a journey marked by small, deliberate steps of obedience, much like Peter’s, filled with inevitable stumbles yet propelled forward by the redeeming power of Christ's love.
My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

On this episode, we will examine the red horse and its rider from Revelation 6 — an emblem of war and rage. It seems like everywhere we look there is war happening. But it's not just global conflicts that I want to examine; I want to turn the lens inward. I want to draw your attention to the reality that these bloody conflicts and war is never far from our souls. There is a violence that that can bubble up in us at any moment if we're not careful. The enemy of the end-times want to divide and sow conflict and I want to challenge you to fight for a Church that wields the spiritual armor of meekness and kindness in a world all too familiar with violence and rage.
My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

This season I’ll be talking through some of the topics from my latest book, The Overcomers. In this episode I’m addressing what the White Rider represents in the book of Revelation. I’ll unpack the subtle dangers of false gospels infiltrating Christian thought—be it the illusive pursuit of self-actualization or the distorted focus on health and wellness over spiritual depth. And how these deceptions can lead us astray from true worship and understanding of Jesus.
My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.

On this special bonus episode of The Overcomers, I get to sit down with Pastor Richmond Wandera. Growing up in the slums of Naguru, Uganda, Richmond experienced a life that few could imagine. After the murder of his father, his family was plunged into poverty; a life where survival became the primary focus. Richmond shares about his transformative journey from hopeless adversity to passionate advocacy for children's rights and the local church. His life took an unexpected turn when his mother sought help from a local church, an act that would bring Compassion International into their lives and set Richmond on a path toward hope and healing.
Lauren and I love the mission of Compassion International and have sponsored children through Compassion for almost the entirety of our marriage. We believe in Compassion’s mission to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. When you sponsor a child, you ensure access to quality education, medical checkups, healthy food, clean water and most importantly, the love of Jesus. 
My goal is to get 100 kids sponsored by partnering with Compassion. I hope you’ll join me in sponsoring a child through Compassion today.
All you have to do is pull out your phone, open up a text and text Overcomers to 83393. You can also go to Compassion.com/Overcomers to choose a boy or girl to sponsor.

Tyler’s story may be one of the crazier stories I’ve gotten to be a part of, but what I love about our God is that despite all the evil the enemy intended for Tyler, his life is marked by God’s pursuit of him. Tyler, opens up about the tragedies that have marked his life, his spiral into addiction, and his experiences with spiritual warfare. From childhood abuse to the loss of his mother, Tyler learned to find escape in substances. If you find yourself facing similar struggles, remember that victory in Christ is possible. Listen, find hope, and see how God can work wonders in the most unexpected ways.
