Show Notes
This episode of Unlocked is one I didn’t know I needed. Contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West joins me and what starts with laughing about The Masked Singer somehow turns into one of the most honest conversations about faith, shame, marriage, and what it actually looks like to live what you preach. We talk about growing up with pressure around faith, feeling like all eyes are on you, and the danger of becoming performative instead of personal. Matthew opens up about being better at talking about God than talking to Him. That one hit me. We talk about grace, about shame, about how easy it is to remember our worst mistakes and forget that God doesn’t keep score the way we do. We also get into marriage in today’s world, breaking generational cycles, apologizing to your kids when you mess up, and why humility might be one of the most powerful things a parent can model. There’s something really beautiful about hearing a man talk about choosing his wife every day and putting faith at the center of his home. If you’ve ever questioned where God is in the middle of your hardest seasons… if you’ve wrestled with shame… if you’re trying to build something healthy after coming from dysfunction… this conversation is for you. And yes, we also talk about his unreleased song that might just save a few marriages.

More from Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley
On this episode of Unlocked, Savannah Chrisley sits down with former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom for a conversation that goes way beyond basketball. Enes shares what it was like growing up in Turkey, leaving home at just 17 years old to pursue his dream in America, and the experiences that completely changed the way he sees the world. From hilarious stories about adjusting to American culture to being the first biological male to declare for the WNBA draft, Enes has a story unlike anything you've heard before. But what really stands out is what Enes was willing to sacrifice for his beliefs. He opens up about speaking out against the Turkish government, criticizing China and Nike, and ultimately walking away from millions of dollars because he refused to stay silent. He also shares the heartbreaking reality of being separated from his family for nearly 14 years, the threats he’s faced, and what becoming an American citizen meant to him after everything he’s been through. We also get into some wild stories from his 11 seasons in the NBA, his experience getting kicked out of a WNBA game, and why he believes standing up for what you believe in should matter more than money, politics, or public opinion. This conversation is a reminder that sometimes doing what you believe is right comes with a price.
