A pastor can preach every Sunday… and still sense something is missing.

 

Matt Judkins loved Jesus. He believed the Bible. He led faithfully in ministry. From the outside, his life looked strong and successful. But behind the scenes, he was exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering if this was what the rest of his life would feel like. He had experienced God’s love. He had answered the call to ministry. Yet he knew there had to be more.

 

In this conversation, Matt shares the moment everything shifted — from burnout and striving in his own strength to a life marked by power, peace, and confidence through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. What happened during a simple prayer encounter didn’t just encourage him… it fundamentally changed how he leads, prays, and walks with God.
