    Best of KL Podcast: What to Do When the Church Lets You Down: Interview with Matt Hammitt

    Few things cut as deeply as being hurt by the very people who are supposed to point you to Jesus. Maybe you've been betrayed, judged, overlooked, or wounded by someone in the church. If so, you're not alone—and you don't have to stay stuck in that pain. As part of our Best of the Known Legacy Podcast series, we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Matt Hammitt as he shares the heart behind his powerful song, "Church Hurt." Matt opens up about the inspiration behind the song, why church hurt is so devastating, and how we can begin the difficult journey toward healing. Together, we talk about forgiveness, restoration, and why walking away from Christian community isn't God's desire for those who've been wounded. Whether you've experienced church hurt yourself or know someone who has, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, practical encouragement, and a reminder that while people may fail us, Jesus never will. Healing is possible. Community is still worth pursuing.

    What Would Jesus Do in Today's Culture?

    How do you follow Jesus when the culture celebrates what God's Word calls sin? It's one of the biggest questions Christians are facing today. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, Bill and Travis unpack a post Travis shared that sparked an important conversation about sin, truth, grace, and what it means to faithfully follow Christ in today's culture. Together they discuss: How followers of Jesus should view sin Why compromising God's truth is never the answer How to let Scripture—not culture—be your ultimate authority How Jesus responded to people caught in sin with both truth and compassion How to stand firm in your faith without losing your love for people If you've ever felt unsure of how to respond to the issues our culture is facing—or how to speak the truth with both conviction and grace—this episode is for you.

    Are we doing discipleship wrong?- Episode 278

    What if discipleship isn't as complicated as we've made it? For many Christians, the word discipleship feels intimidating. We picture Bible experts, formal classes, or having all the answers before we're qualified to help someone else grow in their faith. But that's not how Jesus modeled it. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, Bill and Travis unpack what discipleship really is—and why it's meant to be a natural part of everyday life, not another program to master. In this episode, you'll discover: What biblical discipleship actually looks like Simple, practical ways to start discipling today—even if you don't feel ready How to invite others into the journey God is already taking you on You don't have to know everything to help someone take their next step toward Jesus. If you're willing to follow Christ, you already have what it takes to begin making disciples.
