Calling sounds exciting… until it asks you to move.

In this conversation, Chase Tucker shares what it really looks like to follow God beyond comfort — when staying feels easier, but obedience requires change. This episode pulls back the curtain on what many young leaders wrestle with but rarely say out loud.

We talk about the tension of transition, the fear of getting it wrong, and the quiet moments where you have to decide if you trust God enough to take the next step.

If you’ve ever questioned your calling, felt the weight of a big decision, or wondered if you’re truly hearing God — this episode is for you.

Because sometimes the real question isn’t “Am I called?”

It’s “Am I willing to follow where He leads?”

I thought I was fine… until therapy.

In this episode of A Conversation with Matthew, I sit down with licensed therapist Lori Benedict for one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve ever had.

We talk about attachment styles — anxious, avoidant, secure, and disorganized — and what they actually look like in real life. Not just in theory, but in relationships. In conflict. In the way we respond to our parents. In the way we love.

I never realized how much my childhood, my relationship with my mom, and even being raised by my aunt and uncle shaped the way I attach to people today.

Attachment styles are formed early in life, often before we even have language. They influence how safe we feel in relationships, how we handle disagreement, whether we fear abandonment, or whether we emotionally shut down.

This conversation with Lori Benedict connected dots I didn’t even know were connected.

If you’ve ever:
• Felt like you push people away
• Needed constant reassurance
• Struggled with emotional safety
• Or thought you were “fine” but something still felt off

This episode might be for you.

Why does God sometimes feel far away?
What happens when you grow up in church but start wondering if you really believe it for yourself?
And is it actually okay to ask questions and still have faith?

In this episode of A Conversation with Matthew, we sit down for an honest, real discussion about the doubts, fears, and thoughts many middle school and high school students carry but don’t always say out loud. This isn’t about pretending to have perfect answers. It’s about creating space to talk, learn, and grow together.

If you’ve ever felt unsure, confused, or nervous to admit you’re struggling with faith, you’re not alone. This conversation is for you.
