Unscripted Moments: Pre-Show, Peanut Butter Sandwiches & Spiritual Maturity

Matthew Watkins is our guest today, the insightful host of the Conference Talk podcast, which airs weekly. My connection with Matthew deepened as I had the privilege of being a guest co-host on his show. Throughout our conversations, I’ve been struck by his remarkable spiritual insight and maturity—qualities that truly set him apart in today’s world. In this episode, I’m excited to share something special: for the first time, you’ll get to hear our recorded pre-show discussion. I believe it adds a unique layer to our conversation that you won’t want to miss. Tune in and discover the depth of Matthew’s perspectives and the warmth of our dialogue!
