I was once battling PTSD, anxiety, depression, and insomnia—until Jesus Christ healed me completely. No symptoms. No looking back.

You’ll hear truth from the Word, raw testimony, and Spirit-led encouragement for those fighting battles of their own. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement. A spark. A fire. Let’s set the mountains ablaze.

  1. Both Sides of the River

    15H AGO

    Both Sides of the River

    After weeks of recovery from a stroke and a family medical crisis, Matt shares a quiet reflection on God’s sustaining grace. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 12:9 and a simple piece of wisdom from an old saint: “He owns both sides of the river.”

  2. The Thorn

    FEB 3

    The Thorn

    This Fireside Chat marks the first episode recorded after my stroke. Anchored in 2 Corinthians 12:9, we sit with a truth that doesn’t rush healing or offer easy answers. Paul asks for the thorn to be removed, and God responds with sustaining grace instead of relief. This episode is about weakness that remains, strength that’s borrowed, and the quiet faith of learning to be carried when control is gone.

  3. Battlefield Communication

    Battlefield Communication

    In this episode of MTN.fire, Matt returns after a season of quiet to talk about something every believer needs but few protect: communication with God. Spiritual battles aren’t lost because we lack strength or passion. They’re lost when the signal breaks down. Drawing from Scripture, personal testimony, and the call to persistent prayer, this episode reframes prayer not as a religious habit, but as an active line of communication that keeps us aligned with Heaven in the middle of pressure, fear, and noise. You’ll hear why prayer isn’t just preparation for the battle, but how we stay oriented once the fight begins. Why stillness matters. Why discernment requires proximity. And how God often speaks most clearly when we’re willing to slow down and listen. If you’ve felt distracted, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode is an invitation to quiet the noise, stay on the line, and remember that you were never fighting alone. Scripture references include Luke 18, John 10:27, and examples from the early church.

    The Armory

    Before a soldier steps onto the battlefield, he steps into the Armory. In this episode, we break down the Armor of God piece by piece - not as metaphor, but as the daily discipline that forms warriors in the Kingdom. From the belt of truth to the sword of the Spirit, this is where believers learn not just how to stand, but how to stay standing. Matt shares a personal tie-in about healing, formation, and learning to wear the armor in real life - not just recite it.Because freedom was the miracle… but formation is the mission. If you’ve ever felt unprepared, unsteady, or under attack, this episode calls you back to the forge, back to discipline, and back to the Armory. Topics Covered: • Why spiritual formation requires discipline • The function of every piece of the Armor of God • How to walk in peace, truth, and identity • Why training in private protects you in public • A prayer for strength, clarity, and readiness • What it means to check your armor daily

  5. When God Interrupts Your Feed

    When God Interrupts Your Feed

    In this Fireside Chat, I share how a random late night scroll through reels turned into a moment of truth. Between arrest videos, church bloopers, and a fitness coach who clearly targeted the wrong income bracket, a reel came up with three verses that hit me right where I was. These scriptures spoke about discipline, trials, and the training ground God uses to shape us. I wrote them down and wanted to bring them to you. This is a short, honest reminder that God is building strength in the places we feel tested.

  6. The Thanksgiving We Forget

    The Thanksgiving We Forget

    In this Thanksgiving-week Fireside Chat, Let's slow down, breathe, and remember the goodness of God. Inspired by George Washington’s 1789 proclamation calling for “a day of thanksgiving and prayer,” this episode looks past the holiday noise and into the heart of gratitude - not as an emotion, but as a spiritual weapon. We talk about God’s faithfulness in a hard year, the tables that feel full and the ones that feel empty, and the mercy that carried us when we didn’t even notice. Whether this season feels joyful or heavy, this is a space to pause, reflect, and thank the One who’s been good through it all. The episode ends with a prayer over your home, your family, and your heart during this holiday week. Happy Thanksgiving - and remember: gratitude changes the atmosphere.

  8. The Enemy Within

    11/22/2025

    The Enemy Within

    Before any battle is won outwardly, a war is raging inside. In Episode Two of Season Four -The Enemy Within - Matt digs into the quiet, relentless conflict between the flesh and the Spirit. This episode is for the ones who fight alone in the dark, who wrestle with thoughts that sound like their own, and who need the truth that freedom is found when obedience out-muscles impulse. We walk Galatians 5:17 and pull it into real life: how the enemy uses distraction and division to make us ineffective, how grace meets us in the trenches, and why the victory the world wants to steal is already ours through Jesus. Expect honest testimony, practical application, and a prophetic call to keep surrendering the mind to Christ. • If this episode landed on you - reach out, share it, or tag someone who needs to hear it.• Subscribe to the show to get new episodes as they drop.
