We planted a church inside of prison & it changed the prison yard-Matt now creating path for others

Our Turning Lives Around series features my guest Matt Thomas: : “I grew up I grew up in a pretty rough environment. My house was pretty rough. My mom, bless her heart, was an alcoholic and my dad wasn't around.”

Coupled with not such a great environment, Matt started getting in trouble at a really young age, spent time in juvenile hall and all his teenage years in a home for wayward boys, a gothic boarding school.

“It was the pattern. And eventually, being highly addicted to methamphetamines, I ended up catching a couple charges for burglary, a stolen car and some drugs. And I did three years in the state of Arizona, and in that process is where God really got a hold of me. You know, people I know, people will say I came to Christ, but I’ve got to tell you, he pursued me.”

Matt’s story is stunning, tragic and uplifting, but my main reason for bringing him on the show today is what he is doing now for youth and troubled kids.

Matt Thomas founded Firm Foundations Ministries where they equip men and women to move from imprisoned to empowered. We Learn more visit: https://www.firmfoundationsministries.org or call 913-257-7300
