In this episode of our Foundation of Hope series, we look at one of the most beautiful and hope-filled truths in all of Scripture — that God desires no one to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance.

This foundation of hope isn’t limited. It isn't selective. It isn't only for the people who “look the part,” grew up in church, or have a clean past. It's for everyone.

I talk about how no matter what you've done — and no matter what anyone else says about you — God has opened the door of salvation wide. His heart is that every person would turn, repent, and find life in Him. This episode is a reminder that:

➡️ No sin is too great.
➡️ No past is too broken.
➡️ No person is too far gone.
➡️ And no voice on earth can overrule what God has spoken.

This foundation of hope reaches to the very edges of humanity… and it reaches to you.

In this next installment of our Foundation of Hope series, we dive into one of the most crucial pillars of our faith: Truth — real, unchanging, God-defined truth.

I open the episode by talking about how truth can be known, and how the Bible is the ultimate source of truth for the believer. Over the years, I’ve had plenty of people try to tear down, twist, or belittle what Scripture says… but the Bible doesn’t need defended. It stands firmly on its own two feet. It has withstood every attack, every culture shift, and every argument — and it remains.

And this truth is what reveals who Jesus really is.

Not culture.

Not opinion.

Not personal preference.

The Bible defines Christ — not man.

I also share some of the pushback I’ve seen from within Christian circles, including a recent conversation with someone who told me he doesn’t believe in hell — something Jesus Himself spoke about often and clearly.

We unpack all of that and more in this episode, continuing to build our foundation of hope on what is true, eternal, and unshakable.

In this first episode of our new series, Foundations of Hope , we step back and rebuild from the beginning — placing our confidence, our faith, and our future on the solid rock of God’s Word and the true Jesus Christ.I share how Jesus warned Peter, James, John, and Andrew that many would come in His name claiming to be Him — but do not be deceived (Mark 13:5–6). Hope begins when we know the real Jesus and trust the truth He has spoken.If we cannot trust God’s Word, we cannot have hope.But if we can — and we can — then we can stand through anything.This episode lays the foundation for everything that comes next.Scripture Focus:Mark 13:5–6Support & Connect:🌐 Website: https://www.iammatthewministries.org💙 Donate on Venmo: https://www.venmo.com/u/IAmMatthewMinistries📧 Email: robert@iammatthewministries.org

In this episode, I share some exciting updates from I Am Matthew Ministries — including our Halloween live stream and the announcement that the I Am Matthew Podcast will now stream live on Halloween nights moving forward! (On Youtube)

Even in a season filled with “no’s,” God opened doors through a local ministry outreach, where I had the chance to teach live sound to men from several different churches. Yet, through that, I also talked about the silence — the non-responses from churches and individuals — and how that silence can feel like rejection.

We dive into 2 Timothy 2:14–26, focusing especially on verse 20, where Paul reminds us that in a great house there are vessels of honor and dishonor. I shared how these “no’s” might actually be the church rejecting those without hope — but the message of this ministry is for them.This ministry isn’t about Robert — it’s about Jesus.

And while I said that anyone who wants to be part of this ministry despite rejection is welcome, I want to clarify — if you can be part of a church, be a part! My heart is for those who feel pushed out, forgotten, or unwanted by the church — to remind them that God still calls them vessels of honor.

Today I talk about how the Christian walk isn’t always easy — but even in the hardest seasons, God still walks with us through it all. We can either choose frustration or choose to worship Him right in the middle of the struggle.

Tying it into Romans 12:1–2, this episode is a reminder that true worship isn’t just a song — it’s a lifestyle of surrender, transformation, and hope that God’s plan is still good even when life gets tough.
