Episode 101: Matt Gardier's Story

The Comeback Matthew Gardier’s Story In this episode, you’ll meet Matt Gardier. Matt grew up in Bridgeport, CT, at a time when drug use was on the rise. He was in and out of many schools and struggled with identity into his early adult life. Like many of his friends, he also fell hard for the lifestyle of partying and drugs. The partying, drinking, and drugs eventually led him into an argument where he was shot twice. During the healing time, Matt had a grace-filled encounter with the Lord through a lady named Febian. Though the Lord had encountered him, he hadn’t entirely given up his lifestyle. It took a geographical change of location to get him out of his environment and connect with a place that would change his life and help him in his journey towards sobriety. Now with almost ten years clean, Matt has a life that he never imagined he would have, and God uses him in a powerful way.
