Morgan Snyder

Morgan Snyder is a strategist, entrepreneur, teacher, writer, and speaker. His passion is to both be shaped by and shape the men and women who are shaping the kingdom of God. In 2010, he established BecomeGoodSoil.com, a fellowship of leaders whose global reach offers guidance for the narrow road of becoming the kind of person to whom God can confidently entrust the care of his kingdom. He serves on the executive leadership team of Wild at Heart and Ransomed Heart Ministries, having served alongside John and Stasi Eldredge for more than two decades. Morgan goes off the grid every chance he gets, whether bow hunting in the Colorado wilderness or choosing the adventurous life with his greatest treasures: his wife, Cherie; his son, Joshua; and his daughter, Abigail.

Key Quotes

  • 07:22 - "One of the great dangers that most men miss is they marry desire to fulfillment. They assume, and often, this is subconscious because it's so plays to our DNA, our design as men, they get a desire and then they run with it. We run with it, I run with it and we don't pass because we don't have the miles of knowing the consequence of it going bad... desire is intended to be the fuel for doing the hard work, the brutal, slow process of becoming the kind of man that can fulfill that desire."

  • 12:57 - "That actually when we rush the process, what we do is just hijack the thing that God's doing and so it comes back again because our Father is generous and reluctant, the Holy Spirit is faithful to guide and redeem, everything for good. So, even if it goes completely sideways, not all is lost... as we grow in kingdom, authority and kingdom just reality of what and who were entrusted with, the consequences are much higher."
