The Overcomers with Matt Chandler

Written by: Matt Chandler
  • Summary

  • The Overcomers podcast is stories of men and women who have endured unimaginable hardships—have clung to Jesus during the dark night of the soul, yet their faith has remained intact and often more vibrant than before.Most of these stories are not clean and do not have a neat bow at the end. Many are still in the middle of battling to believe Jesus is better, come what may.

    Thanks for tuning in to another episode of The Overcomers. In this episode, I’m joined by Kim Zember, whose journey with Jesus shows the messy, beautiful reality of sanctification. Growing up in a Christian home in Southern California, Kim had some transformative encounters with Jesus, but her path hasn’t always been straightforward.

    We dive into the challenges Kim faced growing up—especially her early view of God as this authoritative figure, which led to a legalistic way of thinking. There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to understanding who we are in Christ, and for Kim, the journey wasn’t a straight line. We talk about the moments that shook her understanding of herself, her faith, and her sexuality—especially navigating feelings and desires she had that seemed counter to who she believed she truly was.

    This episode is a reminder that God’s love and grace are bigger than our struggles, and no matter where we are, we can always turn toward Him. Join us for an honest, powerful conversation about faith, identity, and transformation.

  • The Healing Process
    Jan 28 2025

    What if the key to true success is embracing your vulnerabilities? In today’s episode of the Overcomers Podcast, the tables turn—Lauren Chandler interviews me about a season of deep transformation. We’ll unpack my journey from external success in ministry to confronting the internal struggles I couldn’t ignore anymore. I was emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, and hiding behind humor and problem-solving. That’s when I decided to get help and began working with a counselor who challenged my approach to life.

    The road wasn’t easy. Jack, the counselor, pushed me to face uncomfortable truths, confront my defense mechanisms, and dive deep into the emotional wounds I’d been avoiding. This wasn’t about fixing problems—it was about learning to engage in real relationships, especially with my family. That shift from trying to fix everything to truly connecting has changed the way I minister and live.

    This conversation is about embracing change, having the courage to grow, and facing the most guarded parts of your inner self. If you’ve been feeling stuck, or know there’s more growth ahead, I hope you find strength and Christian courage from this conversation.

  • The Kings Table
    Jan 14 2025

    On this episode, I sit down with two of my closest friends, Josh and Trevor, to reflect on insights from a 90-year Harvard study on adult development, highlighting the essential role of deep, reliable friendships—what we refer to as a "King's Table" or "3 am friends."

    Throughout our discussion, we underscore the significance of vulnerability in building lasting male friendships. Intentionality and proximity are key to forming connections that stand the test of time, from everyday commitments to sharing life’s highs and lows. By embracing vulnerability, we transform surface level friendships into profound relationships.

    There’s a distinct difference between invited and forced vulnerability. And my call to you is to embrace the courage required to be open and find the depth and beauty that follows. The world needs men who are courageous in all aspects of their lives, but particularly in courageously exploring and exposing the underlying narratives, whatever they are, that we all believe at times. I hope you are encouraged and challenged to be who God has created and called you to be.


    Topics Discussed

    • Importance of Male Friendships and Proximity
    • Building Deep Relationships Through Vulnerability
    • Forced Vulnerability vs. Invited Vulnerability
    • Unpacking Shame and Vulnerability
    • Unpacking Pain and Purpose
    • Encouraging Men Towards Vulnerability and Adventure
