I recently had the incredible privilege to share a short talk on purpose with more than 400 men at Port City Community Church’s Men’s Event called Relevant. Many who were unable to attend have asked me if there was a recording of the video, so I am posting it here. Join me as I discuss the elusive nature of finding purpose, going to the desert, and learning to trust the Father. Relevant 2015 – Matt Ham If you’re struggling to […]
A man once approached me after a speaking engagement and asked, “So how long have you been a pastor?” “Oh, I’m not a pastor,” I quickly replied. I even threw in a chuckle as an attempt to further dismiss the absurdity of his suggestion. “You’re not?” He paused and tilted his head ever-so-slightly, locking his eyes with mine. “No, I’m not.” I repeated assertively. “Well,” he said with a smile, “keep listening.” That conversation has replayed in my mind like a broken […]

Would you repair relationships? What words would you retract? Now we all know that we can’t go back […]
How am I supposed to know what my calling is? I get this question all of the time and, for whatever reason, many times this week. As I thought about it, I was reminded of a story: Earlier this year, Liz and I made a trip to The City by the Bay, San Francisco. One day, as we made our way through Union Square, there was a man. His blue hooded sweatshirt hid the distinction of his face as he […]
I’m not a fan of the dentist, at all. Before you label me as an anti-dentite, just hear me out. It’s not the dentist himself or his hygienist, it’s the process. My impatience meets people messing in my mouth and I get freaked out. Last week, that dreaded visit came. As I pulled into my parking space and jumped out of my car, I was admittedly focused on the fact that I didn’t want to be there. I took no care to engage in […]
