By his early twenties, fraternity life, drinking culture, and addiction had taken over, leading to an intervention and the start of sobriety at 22 through recovery meetings, mentorship, and learning to rely on a higher power. Over time, that recovery deepened into a personal relationship with Jesus as he and his wife began attending church through connections at Christ Community Chapel and stepping into spiritual community and rhythms like Bible reading and prayer. Today, Matt reflects on how faith, sobriety, and daily habits have reshaped his family life, marriage, and sense of purpose, moving from dependence on alcohol to dependence on Christ.
