Matt was born into a family of a gang leader and drug dealer. As Matt began to grow up he so desired to have a father figure that he began to emulate his dad. That life led him into 14 stab wounds, two gunshot wounds, two explosions and a world of addiction. But a pastor who he had befriended never gave up on him and eventually Matt gave his life to Christ. Matt is an entirely new person now and has impacted a multitude of lives around the world for the cause of Christ. You don’t want to miss this incredible story of God’s unrelenting love.

You won’t want to miss this testimony of how the power of the gospel is still alive and moving today.

Sammy Tippit and Dr. David Walker continue this series entitled “Your Real Dad”. Whether it’s big or little change we need to consistently be reminded that God has a plan for us, that God is in control. Many times it is in the midst of these changes when God meets with us at a different level. Sometimes change is used to remind us of our desperate need for God always no matter what your life circumstances are.
