A New Beginning & A Nation Shaken marks the very first episode of Beyond The Testimony with hosts Brandon Gross and Matt McGuire. In this opening conversation, the heart of the podcast is introduced: testimonies, faith, and the courage to live boldly for Christ. With the theme “Live To Tell Your Story,” the hosts cast a vision for the future while inviting listeners to join in the journey.
This episode also pauses to reflect on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, a bold Christian voice in America. Brandon and Matt honor his legacy, speak on the power of standing for truth, and share how, even in sorrow, God brings victory. Scripture is shared on the reality of evil in our world, yet also the hope of heaven and the unity of a nation in mourning.
Through laughter, encouragement, and real talk, Episode 1 reminds us: every story matters, and now is the time to tell it.
