Hi friends! You may or may not know, but I moved to Austin, TX in February 2021 (incidentally, that same day I proposed to the love of my life. We got married this summer!). As we've settled in, I ...  Read More

Y’all, I can’t believe it. It’s been ONE YEAR since the release of the Collective Worship album. One year since the release, and coincidentally – one year since shelter-in-place kicked in as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.It’s been the weirdest possible album release cycle.

Very excited to announce that Milo Deering, Mark Herrera (of Jesus Painter Ministries), and I have collaborated to create a video for my new song “Peace Prayer”! Mark did a live painting while Milo and I played through this acoustic song, and I’m so moved by the final video (beautifully assembled by Kyle Isenhower of Isenhower Productions). The video and song itself with both go live on 9/4/2020, ...  Read More

Check out the new lyric video by Sean Gutierrez, he has done an amazing job on these!The song itself is about the… um… Holy Spirit of God....  Read More

Because of God’s work in our lives and Jesus’ finished work on the cross, we can live into the assurance of our salvation. Forgiveness. Eternal life. “And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest w...  Read More

Check out this song about God’s deliverance, called “Soon”. It was performed live on November 15th, 2019, as part of the just-released Collective Worship project. There are moments when we find ourselves in “thin spaces” where Heaven meets earth, and this was certainly one of those times. 30 worshipers from across the state gathered at Stone Creek Sound in Helotes, TX to declare the truth of God’s...  Read More

“Pray” is a duet from the Collective Worship project that features Rebekah Bichsel from Brad & Rebekah. And it quickly grew into one of my favorite songs on the Collective Worship record. In our brokenness, in our anxieties, and in our dark places – when we don’t even have the words to say, the Holy Spirit cries out on our behalf.“But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience...  Read More

(Originally published on JesusFreakHideout.com on March 25th, 2020) “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)I’m an angry person. I’m prone to impatience, jealousy, pride, and all sorts of ugliness. Heck, if I’m honest – old Matt was kind of a jerk. But I always tell people that it’s irrefutable evid...  Read More
