Join us on Voices from the Street, the inspiring radio ministry of the Sacramento Union Gospel Mission. In this special episode, Executive Director and pastor Robert Briggs welcomes staff member Matt Biro to reflect on faith, transformation, and service.
Matt shares his journey—from a comfortable California childhood, through deep loss and addiction, to a life reclaimed by the gospel. Hear how grief claimed both his parents within weeks, driving him into a spiral of alcoholism and despair. At his lowest, Matt found hope and purpose through God’s grace at the Union Gospel Mission, where discipleship, community, and the opportunity to serve others set him on a new path.
Together, Pastor Briggs and Matt explore:
- The impact of grief and the struggle with addiction
- How encountering Christ at a crisis point sparked life-changing transformation
- The importance of discipleship, church fellowship, and the discipline of repentance
- A life now devoted to serving at UGM—using his talents in finance, IT, HR, and mentorship to give back
This deeply personal testimony shines a light on God’s restorative power and the mission’s commitment to reaching the least, the last, and the lost in Sacramento. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that offers hope, healing, and the transformative love of Christ.
