  • Parenting, Faith, and Finding Balance with Matt Jacoby
    Apr 4 2025

    Matthew Jacoby is a theologian, author, pastor, and musician best known as the lead singer of Sons of Korah and a lecturer in Christian Thought at Melbourne School of Theology.

    Matt opens up about the daily rhythms of family life, sharing his approach to helping his children with homework and studies. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Matt recounts his father's adventurous spirit—walking the Mediterranean and sailing with friends, which led to German sponsorships and a writing career for German magazines that began when Matt's father was just sixteen.

    With refreshing honesty, Matt reflects on his own formative years at boarding school, describing the profound struggle he experienced trying to find his place and sense of belonging. This vulnerability creates a powerful backdrop for understanding his intentional approach to parenting today.

    Faith emerges as a central theme as Matt discusses how he incorporates Bible reading into his children's lives. He enthusiastically recommends resources from "The Bible Project" as his go-to tools for spiritual education and growth.

    In a particularly revealing moment, Matt acknowledges his past struggle with entertainment addiction and describes the transformative impact of undertaking a media fast—offering listeners insight into reclaiming attention and presence in our distraction-filled world.

    Perhaps most poignantly, Matt articulates the deep capacity for parental regret while recognising the ultimate truth of raising children: despite our best efforts at providing good nature and nurture, our children possess their own free will that we simply cannot control.

    This episode offers wisdom, comfort, and perspective for anyone navigating the complex journey of parenthood while trying to stay grounded in personal values and faith.
