Matthew’s life has been anything but steady—21 moves before adulthood made sure of that. When his family left Canada for Utah, the culture shock was jarring. But the biggest change came at 15, when his mom’s battle with cancer opened his eyes to something deeper. In that moment, he didn’t just believe in God—he knew. And with that certainty came a realization: deep gratitude is the fastest way to real connection. Now a husband and father, Matthew thought he understood faith—until he met a man whose life had been spent bouncing between foster homes. Knee-deep in the mud of a construction site, he saw God in a way he never expected. Some lessons come in quiet moments. Others come covered in dirt and sweat. This is Matthew’s story—of movement, of discovery, and of the undeniable moments that turn believing into knowing.
