  Inhale the Good, Exhale the Bad. Ep.168

  Oct 3, 202634 min

  Inhale the Good, Exhale the Bad I saw a simple little phrase online that said, “Inhale the good, exhale the bad.” At first, it sounded like just another inspirational saying—but the more I thought about it, the more I realized there might be a pretty important life lesson hiding inside those six words. Breathing is essential. We need the right things coming in and the right things going out. And in a lot of ways, life works the same way. What are we allowing into our lives? The people we surround ourselves with, the conversations we have, what we watch, what we listen to, our work, our schedules, our environments—and even the thoughts we constantly replay in our minds. Sometimes we’re taking in things that are toxic. Sometimes we’re holding onto things we need to let go of. And sometimes, surprisingly, we’re simply taking in too much of a good thing . Our schedules get packed, we’re constantly busy, we’re trying to be everything to everybody, and eventually…we forget how to breathe. In this episode of Drive Time with Matt , we’re talking about what it means to inhale the good, exhale the bad, make room for the things that really matter, and trust God with the things we can’t control. Maybe you don’t need to fix everything today. Maybe you just need to take a breath. Inhale the good. Exhale the bad. And keep moving forward—one breath, one step, and one mile at a time.

  What I Learned at Lunch Ep. 167

  Oct 1, 202641 min

  What I Learned This Week at the Lunch Table Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you never planned to have. This week at the lunch table, we tackled some very important questions: Should brownies have nuts? What about cookies? Why does coconut have to ruin a perfectly good sweet potato or pumpkin pie? Then somehow, the conversation moved to McDonald’s, overseas menu options, and the most important question of all… What exactly does Grimace taste like? Apparently, blueberry. Even though he looks like grape. And yes… somehow the conversation eventually made its way to grape Robitussin and the crazy “home remedies” people have heard about over the years. But somewhere in all that randomness, I started thinking about why I enjoy these lunch-table conversations so much. Life can get heavy. Bills pile up. Parenting can push you to the limit. We wonder if we’re doing enough, being good enough, or setting the right example for our kids. There’s always something happening in the world that can add a little more weight to our shoulders. And sometimes, you just need to laugh. Sometimes you need to sit around a table with people you enjoy and talk about absolutely nothing. Because maybe those ordinary conversations aren’t pointless after all. Maybe they’re the little moments that remind us to slow down, enjoy the people around us, and not take every minute of life so seriously. So come ride along with me as we talk brownies, coconut, Grimace, questionable remedies, faith, family, and why sometimes the most random conversations can make your day. And for the record… Nuts do NOT belong in brownies. #DriveTimeWithMatt #LunchTable #EverydayLife #Faith #Family #FunnyStories #Brownies #Grimace #McDonalds #LifeLessons

  Courtesy at the Pump Ep. 166

  Sep 25, 202643 min

  Apparently, We Need Rules When did common courtesy stop being so common? In this episode of Drive Time With Matt , we start with a simple question: When you pull into a gas station, do you pump your gas and then move your car before going inside—or do you leave your car sitting at the pump while you run into the store? Because Matt has been the guy sitting behind that empty car… watching his gas gauge drop… and having a full conversation with himself: “If my car runs out of gas, you are coming out here to help me push it to the pump!” But what starts as a funny story about gas stations turns into a bigger conversation about the little things we do—or don’t do—that make life easier for the people around us. Shopping carts. Grocery store aisles. Turn signals. Merging in traffic. Holding the door. Office microwaves. Elevators. Cleaning up after ourselves. None of these things are complicated. Most don’t cost us anything. Sometimes common courtesy is simply stopping long enough to realize: We’re not the only people here. So buckle up, ride along, and let’s talk about why maybe we need to bring a little more courtesy back into everyday life. Because apparently… we need rules.

  Unwritten Rules Ep.165

  Sep 25, 202641 min

  The Unwritten Rules of the Office Microwave Let’s talk about something every workplace has… the company microwave. You know the one. The microwave where somebody reheats fish, somebody else explodes spaghetti all over the inside, and somehow there’s always a mystery container in the refrigerator that nobody wants to claim. In this episode of Drive Time with Matt , we’re laying down the unofficial rules of reheating food at work—from covering your food and cleaning up your mess to knowing when a meal might be better enjoyed somewhere other than the break room. But as ridiculous as the office microwave can be, there’s actually a bigger lesson hiding in there. Sometimes common courtesy is found in the smallest things. Cleaning up after yourself. Thinking about the people around you. Leaving something better than you found it. Being willing to make somebody else’s day just a little easier. Because maybe the way we handle something as simple as a company microwave says a little more about how we live life than we realize. So grab your coffee, buckle up, and come ride along. This is Drive Time with Matt—life one mile at a time.

  The Sigh of Fall Ep. 164

  Sep 23, 202642 min

  The Sigh of Fall Sometimes, all it takes is a walk outside to remind us to slow down. The temperature drops. The air gets crisp. The leaves begin to change. And before you know it, the world feels a little different. On this episode of Drive Time with Matt , Matt reflects on one of his favorite seasons and wonders: How do the trees know when it’s time to change? But somewhere between the changing leaves and that first cool breath of fall, a bigger thought emerges. Maybe fall is a reminder that change isn’t always something to fear. Maybe letting go isn’t always giving up. And maybe some seasons of life are simply invitations to stop trying to control everything, take a breath, and trust God with what’s next. Because sometimes surrender isn’t defeat. Sometimes surrender is simply… a sigh. A deep breath. A release. A reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out today. So wherever you are in life right now, take a moment. Look around. Notice the season you’re in. And breathe. Drive Time with Matt — real life, one mile at a time.
