Does Jesus Still Perform Miracles? with Guest Matt Brown | EP: 381
My guest this week is Matt Brown, the founding and senior pastor at Sandals church in Riverside, California. From a humble eight-person church plant in 1997, Sandals Church has now expanded to 14 physical campuses across California, with a digital footprint touching 110,000 people weekly.
In our conversation, Pastor Matt shares insights from his latest book, Every Day a Miracle. He challenges us to explore the everyday opportunities for miracles and invites us to see Jesus not just as a savior but as a healer.
I canāt wait for you to join us for this powerful discussion filled with laughter, tears, and deep reflections on faith and prayer.

āI’m not one of these super uber charismatic people that’s always believed in miraclesā¦ I’m a Baptist, who has been compelled by repeated evidence that they happen, that miracles are real, and they happen every day.ā
āI cannot guarantee the miracle you want, but I do guarantee the miracle you need.ā
āThere’s a very little chance of that prayer being answered if your audience is the people around you and not the God in heaven.ā
