How the Church Shoots
Our Wounded
Matthew Karchner pt 1
Today in the news, we see a massive attack on Christianity. It is coming from all sides. It is happening in government, in education, in public, in private and the devil is relentless in his efforts to keep people in bondage and to silence the Church and anyone who claims Faith in Christ.
One of the most prolific attacks on Faith comes from the LGBTQ+ community and those who endorse and support this type of behavior. Our guest today was part of that community for many years – that is until he found Christ! Amen!
Today, we have an incredible guest with us, someone whose journey from a life deeply entwined with homosexuality - but has now been delivered, saved, called and serves as a devoted missionary for Christ overseas. Amen!
Matthew Karchner experienced a profound transformation that can only be described as supernatural. For many years, he navigated the complexities of his life, searching for identity and purpose in all the wrong places. Drugs, alcohol, even thoughts of prostitution. He faced challenges and questions that many of us may not be able to relate to – but there are many people out there, some listening right now, that can. Amen!
Matt was working for PNC Bank for 15 years. But in having been delivered from the gay lifestyle in 2010, he was forced by PNC Bank to support the LGBTQ agenda. To that, he refused. His letter of resignation stated, “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back!” AMEN! Glory to God!
Once chief among gay sinners, Matt now calls the LGBTQ to repentance and Faith in Christ! He earned an Masters of Arts in Theological Studies from Liberty University and is on target to earn his Masters of Divinity soon. Amen!
Now, Matthew is now a missionary and church pastor in Cambodia, sharing the message of hope and transformation with others who are also seeking their own path to redemption. His story reminds us that, with Faith, Hope and Love – and Jesus Christ – even the most challenging circumstances can be overcome.
His ministry is called, “Castaway Ministries” and he is the author of the book, “The Church: We Shoot the Wounded.”
This is part two of an amazing two part interview with Pastor Matthew Karchner!
What would you like to see pastors and churches do better concerning these situations?
I don’t know the answer to this question, so that’s why I’m asking it. Do you know what the recidivism rate is for homosexuals that have been delivered and the fell back into that lifestyle?
I ask that because we see it blasted all over the media when a pastor falls from Grace. The media will give it headlines far and wide and people will cry out for greater accountability, etc. Has this sort of thing happened to you because of your background? Where churches and other Christians don’t “trust you” because they think you may backslide and, I don’t know, take others with you?
And this is after you’ve been delivered. After you’ve been saved and forgiven. I believe there are some in the church who have committed adultery, done drugs, committed robberies, etc. They’ve been forgiven and accepted back – but why do you think they are more suspicious, not just of you, but of others who struggled with homosexuality?
