About Matt
Matt grew up in Texas and went to Baylor University. He met his wife there, and they got married in 2001. They have four kids (three girls and one boy). He only has one adrenal gland, so he has no idea when to fight or flight.
Matt is eager to see Bent Tree used by God to transform people and churches with the reality of the indwelling Christ. No matter how much success or failure someone has encountered, he prays all will see that we can’t live the life we were created to live on our own. Only Jesus can live it, and he wants to live in and through us, if we’ll let him. It’s in this place of total dependence on him that we begin to experience life in all its fullness — one of rest, peace, joy, purpose, identity, security, significance, love, and hope.
