Ever feel like you’re stuck on a sinking ship with no clue what’s next? We’ve been there—and so has our guest, Matthew Faye Terry. In this powerful episode, you’ll hear a story that will absolutely stir your spirit. From crying out to God after corporate burnout to teaching English in communist China—and even leading underground Bible studies—Matthew’s journey is a testament to what happens when you fully surrender and trust God's plan, even when it doesn’t make sense.

This isn’t just about a wild adventure overseas. It’s about waiting well. It's about obedience when the path isn’t clear. And it’s about how your “yes” to God—even in uncertainty—can lead to breakthrough, purpose, and impact beyond what you could imagine.

We (Todd & Wendie) loved how real and relatable this conversation is. If you’ve ever felt like you missed your moment or you’re stuck in the waiting, this episode will give you insight, encouragement, and inspiration to keep trusting the One who sees the whole picture.

You’ll also hear how Matthew turned his mission in China into a powerful screenplay and upcoming miniseries, English Corner, to reach more hearts with the hope of the Gospel. You don’t want to miss this!

What if the father who was supposed to protect you abandoned you before your first birthday?

In this powerful episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, Sean Teis shares how being thrown into a life of fatherlessness at just nine months old became the foundation for a national ministry that brings healing to broken homes. Today, Sean is the founder of God Is My Dad, a faith-based movement equipping fatherless individuals, single moms, and churches to break generational cycles and find lasting hope.

We dive into why fatherlessness is America’s silent crisis, affecting over 18 million children, and how the absence of a dad—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—impacts identity, relationships, education, and more. Sean reveals shocking statistics and real-life stories while offering practical tools for churches, parents, mentors, and anyone with a heart to help restore families.

Whether you grew up without a father, are raising kids on your own, or want to be part of the solution, this episode will inspire and equip you with God’s truth and healing.
