I really saw the power of Christ in his life when I was in the hospital. I mean he would come after visiting hours like you're not even supposed to be in here, but somehow he would get in. So it was just like I knew a change needed to happen.
Meet Matt Gardier, a man whose life story is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up in Bridgeport, Connecticut, during a time when drug use was rampant, Matt found himself entangled in a world of partying and substance abuse. His struggle with identity led him down a path many of his peers followed, but his journey took a dramatic turn after a violent encounter where he was shot twice. This near-death experience became a pivotal moment in Matt's life.
During his recovery, he met a woman named Febian, who introduced him to a grace-filled encounter with the Lord. This spiritual awakening was different from anything he had experienced before, igniting a desire for change. However, the road to sobriety wasn't straightforward. Matt's journey involved moving away from his toxic environment and finding a community that supported his recovery. Now, with nearly ten years of sobriety under his belt, Matt reflects on the life he never thought possible.
He shares how faith and perseverance have transformed him and how he now helps others find their path to recovery. If you're looking for a story that embodies hope, resilience, and the power of faith, this episode of 'THE COMEBACK: Stories That Inspire' is a must-listen.
