What do you do when you believe God has shown you your future—only for it to fall apart? In this episode of The Elevation Room, Brady Pierron shares the raw and redemptive story of how he met his wife, boldly told her she was “the one”… and was immediately told to leave.

What followed was three years of no communication, deep uncertainty, and spiritual wrestling. In that quiet season, God asked him a question that changed everything:

“If I never gave you a wife, kids, or a business… would you still serve Me?”

This is a conversation about surrender, identity, and trusting God’s timing. It’s about learning to love Him not for what He gives—but simply for who He is.

If you’ve ever wrestled with waiting, purpose, or unanswered prayers, this episode will speak straight to your heart.

In this raw and powerful premiere episode of The Elevation Room, we sit down with Matthew Ackman — a husband, father of three, pastor, and leader of Crossroads Leadership College — whose story sounds like a movie but is 100% non-fiction.

Matt opens up about his troubled youth: the arrests, convictions, time in foster care, and even a jail sentence that seemed like the end of the road. But God had other plans. When a judge made a miraculous decision to set him free, it was just the beginning of a radical transformation.

From that moment on, Matt’s life has been marked by the power of redemption. After giving his life to Christ, he was later hit by a truck and told he'd never walk again — but his faith never wavered. God not only healed his body but launched him into a new purpose-driven life.

This is a story of grace, grit, and the God who redeems all things.
