The Matt Farnsworth Show

Matt Farnsworth

Hosted by Matt Farnsworth — bestselling author, coach, and former Hollywood filmmaker — this show is built on lived experience, not theory. After surviving a near-fatal accident and turning to God, Matt walked away from Hollywood and began confronting the realities of addiction, identity, discipline, faith, and true transformation. These are unfiltered messages about the internal spiritual battles we face and the responsibility required to change. This is not therapy talk or motivational noise. It’s clarity, confrontation, and structure. If you’re ready for truth — welcome.

    Why do YOU suffer?

    Matt Farnsworth reflects on how suffering and loss led him to Christ, recovery, and a clearer sense of purpose. He describes losing identity through addiction and recovery, the certainty that Christ holds chosen believers, and the contrast between the narrow gate of faith and the wide, comfortable path of the world. He urges listeners to be decisive, study the Bible, and accept that following the gospel may bring hardship; he also mentions practical resources like his Armor Up app and his book for those seeking help.

    Why The Bible Says be SOBER MINDED

    In this episode, the speaker reflects on 1 Peter 1–2, focusing on Peter’s transformation from a man who denied Christ to one who boldly identifies as an apostle. The message centers on the two-fold identity of believers as "elect" and "exiles," explaining how suffering and trials refine genuine faith and restore purpose rather than shame.
