About this listen

Matt Barfield was on a scholarship to law school — set up for a comfortable, successful life as a lawyer. But God had other plans. He surrendered that path, became a missionary, and now says he’s so thankful he didn’t become a lawyer… because the life he’s lived has been full of eternal purpose, adventure, and the chance to travel the world and experience things most people never will.


In this episode, we talk about what it really means to do something worthwhile with your life — not for status, but for God’s kingdom. Matt shares how every person has a unique purpose tied to how God created them — their talents, personality, and passions — and how God can use exactly who you are if you’re willing to surrender.


We dig into:

  • How to live for eternity and why it matters
  • Why you don’t need to prove anything to God
  • What holds young believers back from sharing their faith
  • How to discover purpose through surrender and obedience
  • Whether the sacrifices of following Jesus are really worth it


If you’ve ever wondered what your purpose is, or if God can really use you, this episode will challenge and encourage you to step out in faith — and trust that He can do more with your life than you ever imagined.
