FAQs

We believe that people are sinners, but that by acknowledging this reality and by turning to God for forgiveness, we can experience true personal and spiritual freedom.

After graduating with a degree in education, he taught history, American government, and economics for fifteen years and was ordained to preach when he was twenty-four. Matt served as a Baptist pastor for seven years and later served in the same capacity at a couple of Presbyterian churches for six years.

Lewis, P.G. Wodehouse, Russell Kirk, Wendell Berry, Robert Capon, James Herriot, St. Augustine, and M.R. James.
