Silent Service
Two friends at different stages of life share vulnerable conversations about faith, business, relationships, and what it looks like to show up faithfully without having it all figured out. Part journal, part honest dialogue, and part encouragement for those learning as they go.
Silent Service
Ep. 1: Does money make us happy?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this debut episode of Silent Service, Matt and Will explore the age-old question of whether wealth leads to happiness. We talk about health, values, and what people would truly trade for peace of mind. It’s a raw, thoughtful conversation about the role money plays in our lives—and what really matters.
