Matt & Kevyn’s Story | God’s Presence Through Suffering

/ Stories

“Now, Jesus is the person and the only reason that I am where I am right now, and the reason that I got through all the trials that I’ve been faced with.”

At first, Matt was hesitant to join a Life Group, unsure if it was the right fit for him. But three weeks into his freshman year of high school, he decided to give it a try and discovered a genuine sense of community. That year in a service, he made the decision to stand and say “I Believe,” putting his faith in Jesus.

After his best friend passed away in his sophomore year, Matt struggled with doubt. He distanced himself from God and the church and stopped attending Life Group. His mom, Kevyn, turned to his Life Group leaders for support, and through their care and his community, Matt grew deeper in his faith, learning to rely on Jesus’ perfect comfort and peace.

Watch and see how God used this Life Group community to help draw Matt closer to Him, even through life’s trials.
