The Matt & Fiona Show

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about the importance of doing things (the right things) more than once!  We have heard time and time again, “Well we tried that once and it didn’t work.”  We’ve heard that about praying, confessing, tithing, going to church…. carrots….. and the list goes on!  When it comes to your building a relationship with Jesus, once is not enough! Jesus is looking for consistency and commitment! ...

oin Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about the Lessons we've learned from mom! In honour of Matt’s mom’s birthday, it seemed only fitting to share just a few of the many lessons we have learned from her over the years.  Never underestimate the wisdom of an anointed mom, even in the simplest comment you can discover a true nugget of truth. ~ M&F

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about strengths and weaknesses.  We all have weaknesses, but how we manage them is key.  We have all heard the phrase, “turn your weakness into strengths,” and although that is great in theory, we need to first start by admitting we have a weakness and identifying what they are. It's important that you recognize what your weaknesses are so you can improve in those areas, yet know that...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Scrabble.  Yes, we do love scrabble in our home but this weeks episode is about more than just a board game.  In the game of scrabble, you take your time carefully planning out your words.  You think about placement, options and how it works for future turns.  We need to do the same thing with the words we speak.  The Bible tell us that “Death and Life are in the power of the to...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Kids & Easter. In this episode we share about the importance of having conversations with your children about the true significance of what Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection represents. By sharing the Easter story with your children, you can help them understand the depth of Jesus' love for them. Helping them understand His love is the foundation that allows them to build ...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Dependent Christians. Jesus wants to have a relationship directly with you. You cannot be dependent on your Pastor, your parents, your spouse, your Youth Pastor etc. to know Jesus …. He wants a relationship directly with you. Get to church, get into your Bible, talk to Him directly. The more time you spend with Him, the more you will fall in love with Him and your relationship w...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Bringing God HOME! With Easter coming up at the end of the month we have a great reminder of what Jesus Christ did for us. He did not go to the cross and get crucified for us to have a 2 hour a week relationship with Him when we show up for church Sunday morning. He died for us so we can have a full time relationship with Him! We need to let God into every moment of our lives … ...

This week’s episode stemmed from something our Pastor shared in one of our recent services.  We have seen it time and time again, when offence and hurt occur within the church, it causes people to leave the church and often times completely walk away from God.  People will always let us down, but our Saviour never will!  Don’t allow the downfalls of people to keep you away from what Jesus has for you, He will never let you down! Do...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about learning from our mistakes instead of dwelling on them.  It’s inevitable that we will all do or say things that we realize we shouldn’t.  All to often when this occurs we dwell on what we said or did, how we reacted, or how we didn’t react.  By dwelling - we remain in the past!  Whether we dwell for hours, days or weeks, our peace is stolen and it can hold us back from moving fo...

Join us as we sit down and talk about “getting off the bench.”  Last week’s Superbowl sparked a conversation about the parallels that exist between sports and the church.  For one, the coach can’t win the game without the players and likewise, the players need the coach to prepare them. Each player works hard to be a part of the team, not so they can sit the bench, but so they can play!  As part of a church family, we need to get i...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about the importance of Investing in Your Kids! Sometimes you teach, sometimes you train, but you’re always investing! This episode stemmed for an extended dinner we had with the kids.  After a long day it’s easy to have a quick dinner and move on, but the other night, we finished dinner, and instead of excusing them from the table once they were done, we spent some time investing in ...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Drifting. When you least expect it, you can find yourself drifting in life. Slowing things can creep in and all the sudden you realize you have drifted far away from what’s important. Maybe you’ve drifted away from your family, your spouse, your church or even God. It can happen so slowly you don’t realize you’ve drifted off course. Before you know it, you’re miles from where yo...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and discuss the importance of church attendance, and YES church attendance is a LIFELINE!   As we enter into playoff season for football its easy to see the dedication football fans have for their teams.  So many of these fans will sacrifice time & money, they will fight through extreme weather, and they will be fully engaged from start to finish … for a sport with no eternal value.  Why d...

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about keeping Christ in Christmas.  Don’t take for granted that people understand the reason we celebrate Christmas. As the world continues to shift the focus away form Christ during this season, we have an opportunity to remind people that He is the reason for the season.  Let’s keep CHRIST in Christmas!

The one where the youngest kept interrupting  … Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Christmas Time with Kids.  If we're not careful, the cares and stress of Christmas time, especially with kids, can take away from the things that matter most.  It may sound cliche, but the best present you can give to your kids is to be present! Remember what matters most the Christmas.

Join Matt & Fiona as they sit down and talk about Good vs. Godly.  Just because something is good … does not necessarily make it Godly.  Living a good life isn’t the same as a living a Godly Life. When you make the decision to live a Godly life you unlock the promises of God in your life.  Don’t let good hold you back, do all you can to live a Godly Life!
