I’m honored to sit down with my long-time friend, Matt Williams.  In this episode, we talk about success and failure, and what it truly means to walk with God in Christ.

Matt shares what life was like growing up with his incredible parents, Terry and Debby, who modeled love, hard work, and perseverance.  Learning how to raise his kids with humility and love… to embrace his failures as lessons, and to truly live for Christ!
 
Aren’t you glad we’re not defined by our past? 

Matt and I have both lived enough life to know that we all have stories—some we’d like to rewrite and others that show just how faithful God really is. 🙏

Hebrews 12:1-2 reminds us to “fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith”. That’s exactly what Matt has and is learning to do—through triumphs, trials, and everything in between.

Matt has had his share of ups and downs—times of success and moments of failure, but the lesson is that God is always good! God does allow pain in our lives to keep us humble and to continue to seek Him as Lord and Savior! 

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”  Gal. 2:20

This verse is a great reminder that life is a journey from striving to surrender, from self-effort to Spirit-led living.

About Buddy Puckett:
Buddy Puckett has been in the mortgage and finance space and mentoring men for over 25 years.  A mentoring opportunity all started when he first began in the mortgage industry in 1998, when he began to mentor a younger guy who happened to be married.  This person was not making great choices and it was sadly affecting his marriage.  We all are 1 decision away from something really dumb, so accountability became something Buddy knew he needed as well.  Buddy’s wife, Shawn, suggested he start a podcast in 2022 to share the stories of people who have struggled,
failed, overcame by realizing the life of love, joy and peace is only available through a relationship with Jesus Christ! 

“Jesus said to him, ’I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me’.” John 14:6
