Is 3 Hours of Instagram a Day Costing You 9 Years of Your Life?

Episode 265

It’s another episode with the Wests! Matthew is joined by his wife, Emily, for a hilarious and honest debate over their true wedding song—a 22-year-old argument about Marc Cohn's "True Companion." But the fun and games quickly turn to a deep and powerful conversation about the realities of parenting in 2025. Let's go to the Story House!

See Matthew this fall on the Don’t Stop Praying For America Tour! These nights are about more than just music—they’re about lifting up the name of Jesus, praying for our nation, and encouraging one another in faith.

We’re called to be the first responders of the Gospel, leading the way in prayer and bringing hope everywhere we go. I’d love for you to join me in your city for a night of worship, unity, and bold faith. Let’s come together and declare that we are unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus!
