Matthew was born in Gilroy, California thirty some odd years ago. During that time he and his family lived and worked on their small ranch raising Sheep, primarily. While Matt had firm connections with an Agricultural lifestyle, he attended college and works in a computer/I.T. related profession to this day. Both of these polar opposite skills would prove invaluable later on.
Matt came to a saving faith in the Spring of 2001 and into the same initial church his mother attended. Over the next eight years or so, Matt learned much about the Word of G-d as well as the Rhema Lifestyle G-d has made available not only to him, but all believers. G-d really does want to talk with us and makes so much available. During that time, he also learned much about obedience to the Word and Voice of G-d in his life. G-d does, lo and behold, know what He’s doing. Despite facing the same struggles we all face, Matt endeavors to keep that living relational dynamic paramount.
“The Word is unchanging and lays bare what G-d expects of His Creation and those who have chosen to be adopted into His family. Sin is sin. Grace covers us and gives us another chance to get it right. Choose to get up again should you stumble. Choose to engage again…No one can choose it for you and the world needs the unique flow of G-d through you. G-d will always supply what you need to be whole and accomplish His purposes for your life.”
Apart from active Christian service, Matt enjoys archery, Star Trek (TNG peeps, where you at?), writing, LoTR (Ain’t no Party like a Hobbit party), and spending time with his boys who are growing up too fast. It’s amazing and heart shattering at the same time.
