Stop Striving for Love.

In this episode, Richard unpacks one of the most misunderstood stories in the Bible — the story of Jacob — and shows why the thing you've been chasing your whole life has a name older than your trauma. If you've ever felt like no matter what you achieve, it's still not enough, this one is for you.

Why Endless Sex Leaves You Empty. You were made to be touched, seen, and wanted — and that need is not weakness. It was put there by God. But when a father doesn't show up, when affirmation never comes, something in us goes looking for it — in relationships, in sex, in identity, in community. And nothing satisfies. In this episode, Richard gets honest about where that ache really comes from, why every counterfeit the enemy offers looks like the real thing but leads to emptiness, and what the father wound is doing to an entire generation. He shares his own story — the pornography, the same-sex attraction, the performing for acceptance — and connects it all back to one truth: you were never meant to fill that longing with something God didn't design to fill it himself. Romans 8:15 says you received the spirit of adoption — and this episode is about what that actually means for the hole in your heart. #jesus #redeempt1on #lgbtq 👉 For more Jesus, subscribe!🌈 Get my Course - Navigating LGBTQ: https://stan.store/richwithpassion/p/help-lgbtq-identity-course 🫶 Join my community: https://discord.gg/6wqBMC64z🌐 Website: www.therichardmatthews.com 📩 Booking: info@therichardmatthews.com

How to Stop Sinning as a Christian

If you are a Christian and you keep falling into the same sin over and over, this episode is for you. Richard Matthews breaks down why so many believers struggle to stop sinning, why willpower and good intentions are not enough, and what the Bible actually says about walking in freedom. Whether you are dealing with pornography, lust, same-sex attraction, or any pattern of sin you cannot seem to break, this conversation will give you clarity, not condemnation.

Your portion is not bondage. Your portion is life and life more abundantly.

Transition is not rejection — it's God repositioning you. After 9 months away, I'm back on the Redemption Podcast sharing the real story behind losing my position at my church, the financial unknown that followed, and the promise of Jeremiah 42:10 that carried me through it.In this episode, I open up about joining my church staff in 2025, the turning point at our men's retreat, losing that position again in November 2025, and how studying Abraham's story in Genesis (12–18) taught me the difference between being rejected and being redirected. I also share how God gave me a specific date for a step of faith — the hip-hop showcase that led me into entrepreneurship with His Birthhouse. #christian #motivation #redeempt1on
