BIOGRAPHY
The son (and grandson) of a pastor, Matt has lived almost his entire life in and around ministry. At an early age, he came to a saving knowledge of God in Christ, and after graduating from college answered a call to Christian service. He is an ordained minister with 10 years of pastoral experience, and a lifelong learner who has lived at the intersection of faith and culture, having also worked in government, public policy and issue advocacy. His great passion is the life of the mind, which finds its highest expression in the Logos who became flesh for the life of the world.
