The Matthew West Podcast

Today I’m sharing some thoughts and memories of my friend Mandisa who passed away this past week. I’m also sharing some thoughts about what the Bible has to say about loneliness and how God’s presence in our lives changes everything! Let’s go to the Story House!

Today we’re talking about how easy it can be to let the “me, myself & I” mentality take over and how important it is to lift each other up in prayer. Who in your life can you be praying for right now? Let’s go to the Story House!

Today I’m sharing some thoughts about my experience witnessing the eclipse and the reminder to look up and be amazed by the majesty of God’s creation. Let’s go to the Story House!

Today I’m sharing some thoughts on what to do when we look at the troubled world around us and wonder, ‘what is this world coming to?’ These certainly are uncertain times. But we can come to Jesus and be reminded that the trouble in this world is no match for the One who has overcome this world. Let’s go to the Story House!

Join me for a special Easter episode of the podcast! Let’s go to the Story House!

On today's episode of The Matthew West podcast, I’m sharing about some incredible experiences that have taken place on tour including a concert at a prison. I’ll also be sharing a devotional that I hope will begin to prepare our hearts for Easter season. Let’s go to the Story House!

Today I’m talking about prayer and the temptation we face to try and tell God how to do HIS job! This is for all the backseat drivers out there! A much-needed reminder that we are not in control, but we can learn to pray humbly asking not for our will but for His will to be done. Let’s go to the Story House!

On today’s episode of The Matthew West Podcast I'll be sharing some of the things I've been up to lately!

On today’s episode of The Matthew West Podcast I’m joined by a fellow podcast host, Jamie Ivey. Jamie hails from Austin, Texas, and is a well-known speaker, author, and host of The Happy Hour Podcast with Jamie Ivey. Join us as we talk about taking a “reality inventory” of our lives, the implications of living in a broken world, expectations and comparisons, as well as the grace from Jesus to meet us right where we are. Be sure to get a copy of her upcoming book release “Why Can’t I Get it Together” and stay up to date on all things Jamie by visiting her website JamieIvey.com.

On today's episode of The Matthew West podcast, I'm joined by my new favorite artist, Chris Renzema. Chris is a Michigan-raised, Nashville-based, singer/songwriter who creates a niche blend of indie rock, Christian, and folk music. He defies the Christian music "norms" and operates outside of traditional pursuits of music as he composes, sings, & produces his honestly written, orchestral-sounding masterpieces. I instantly became a fan of Chris and his music and know you will too! Join us as we get honest about skepticism, learning from our past selves, and the tendency to grow callous of manna. Stream “Manna pt. 1” wherever you listen to music and listen to his 4th studio album, Manna, when it releases on March 13, 2024. Let's go to the Story House with Chris Renzema!

On today's episode of The Matthew West podcast, I'm joined by my lovely wife of 20 years, Emily West!

We've savored every second of our slow snow days this week and hope that you're seeing 'God shots' no matter what your week has held. Let's go to the Story House with Emily West!

On today’s episode of The Matthew West podcast, I’ll be reading some of the comments that people have made regarding my newest song “Don’t Stop Praying.” This song was written as an encouragement and challenge to myself to be persistent in knocking on heaven’s door… I pray that you feel my passion and conviction behind every word.
