This week, Matt shares his story of how the gospel is good news for him.

Join Matt, Laurie, and Producer Steve as we discuss everything from a fascination with Star Wars to freedom from deep struggle and addiction. Matt’s story offers compassion and hope to all who are struggling with pain and escapism, reminding us that Jesus SEES us, even in the midst of our sin, and His compassion is the means by which we are healed.

Highlights:

“[I was in] this cycle of sin management where I’d fight a little harder…redouble my efforts, and then I would fall. And then I would get back up, and I would fight a little harder, and I would fall–because I wasn’t supposed to do that on my own.” -Matt Krieg

“All I saw was that the guy I married all of a sudden was angry and sullen and not caring about anything! ….I was like, ‘I don’t know what’s up, I just know I can’t fix him. I don’t know what to do,’ and so all I did was I prayed one sentence: ‘Lord, make him like Jesus.'” -Laurie Krieg

“And…as I was giving those over to Jesus, who I was picturing standing in front of me, all of a sudden He steps forward and wraps me in a hug, and says, ‘Matt–know that I love you.'” -Matt Krieg
