522 | The Road to Church Through the Therapist Office| | Matthew LaPine

This week, Aaron has been thinking about building others up.   Nate and Aaron talk to Matthew LaPine. Matthew is from Nebraska where he is the director of equipping, a father, husband, podcaster, and author. He teaches how growth happens through the eyes of the gardener versus the programer. Matthew ties together a theological understanding of psychology with biblical and church counseling, and scripture being enough. He gives his recommendations on how to understand scripture and other situations. Matthew explains the differences and overlaps of anger, anxiety and depression. Also, a reminder about how important communication and letting others into your narrative are, instead of going dark and running away.   Links: Equipping Podcast Books: The Logic of the Body Addiction and Virtue     NEW Samson Community App (Apple store) NEW Samson Community App (Google Store) The Brutal Truth Weekend July 23-25, 2026 Sacred Impact Men’s Retreat August 13-17, 2026 Oct 23-25, 2026 U.S. Samson Summit   Send mail to: Pirate Monk Podcast/Samson House PO BOX 1656 Columbia, TN 38402   If you have thoughts or questions and you'd like the guys to address in upcoming episodes or suggestions for future guests, please drop a note to [email protected].     Introduction and closing music on this podcast is contributed by members of the Samson Society.
