Summary

SummaryMy name is Matt. I lost my dad at a young ageβ€”he served with U.S. Customs, and one day, he just didn’t come back. I buried the pain in baseball and alcohol. For years, I drank heavilyβ€”hiding vodka in water bottles just to survive the day. Things spiraled until I blacked out while driving and crashed. I ended up in jail, broken and hopeless.

My mom had been going to Hope Community Church for two years. She invited me, and I nervously went. That day, I spoke with Wes Jones, who invited me to a small group. That group became my lifeline. Through them, God began to heal me, giving me brothers in Christ and hope I never had.

Today, I wake up choosing not to drink. I may still feel tempted, but more than that, I want to live a day that pleases God. Jesus has given me purpose, peace, and a community that changed my life forever. πŸ™βœ¨πŸƒ
