The Gratitude Cycle

By Matt Ham on July 27, 2015 in Business, Culture, Gratitude, Growth, Humility, Leadership, Podcast

If you pause and look at your life objectively, I think you’ll recognize a real tension that pulls you in opposite directions. On one side there’s gratitude, generosity, and humility. On the other side, you see entitlement, fear, and pride. Every human being is driven by three distinct tensions: Gratitude — Entitlement Generosity — Fear Humility — Pride In every circumstance, every relationship, and every interaction, we feel these polar forces at work. A quick look at American culture and many would argue that we […]

What Breakfast With My Best Friend Taught Me About Success

By Matt Ham on July 22, 2015 in Growth, Personal

Jake has been my best friend since birth. He’s that friend, the one I’d bleed for—and as scars would attest, I have. Even though we now live in separate states, we haven’t allowed the distance to separate our friendship. Our pastime is eggs and bacon. That’s what we do. If there’s one thing about our breakfast summits, the eggs are always served with a side of truth. We hold nothing back. We can’t. The reality of a great friendship is […]

To the Churches in America

By Matt Ham on July 2, 2015 in America, Spiritual

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all.” Galatians 1:3-6 Those are strong words written 2,000 years ago by the Apostle Paul to the church he established in Galatia. However, I feel like they have a very applicable tone as we navigate the waters of the church in America today. In many ways, American Christians have turned or […]

A mentor once told me that life is a series of adventures. Some are more fortuitous than others and, quite frankly, some don’t seem like adventures at all. New seasons can be terrifying, but in the midst of our fear, we cannot lose hope. Living Your Adventure In the summer of 2013, my life drastically changed after pursuing a calling to write. This season was an adventure of uncovering true richness and contentment in the midst of everyday life. It was both fun and challenging to […]

The Thrill of Hope: My Favorite Part of Being a Dad

By Matt Ham on December 4, 2014 in Growth, Personal

I stood behind my sons as they waited to see Santa Claus. I could feel their excitement. Their anticipation caused them to sway back and forth, jittering, waiting to sit in his lap. A few years ago, they were terrified of Santa. Sheer panic would break out whenever they saw him. But in time, their fear has been replaced by hope. I have decided that is my favorite part of being a dad. Every day, my sons give me the opportunity to experience what it […]

Roadblocks to Faith [Podcast]

By Matt Ham on October 28, 2014 in Podcast

Subscribe/Listen in iTunes Subscribe/Listen in Stitcher Radio Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to speak to a group of college upperclassmen that were part of a leadership journey at Port City Community Church. During our time, we talked about the concept of faith and some of the main roadblocks that exist. With resounding consistency, I heard the word fear. With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it appropriate to talk about fear in relation to our faith. In […]
