Welcome to Our Daily Rest…
What you’ll get from Our Daily Rest
We each have one precious life to live. Whether we spend our limited time living to the fullest of our God-given purpose is completely up to us.
It’s a choice we all make each and every day.
This blog is about making that choice for rest, renewal, and purpose each day.
You will learn the knowledge, skills, and rhythms to focus your energy on the important things in life instead of the urgent. Areas like spiritual growth, physical health and wellness, mental space and peace, relational connection and intimacy, and much more.
Our goal is to lead you into simple actions that help you find rest and renewal each day.

About Matt
About 12 years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, a life altering disease that left me struggling in all areas of my life.
I struggled with my health, my relationships, and ultimately my spiritual walk with God. It was a difficult season of life.
Over the years though I’ve learned that the disease was something God has used for such good in my life.
The disease forced me to slow down, get rest, focus on the important things in life, and develop rhythms and practices of wellness and renewal in my life.
Most importantly it helped me to lean in to rest in God’s character and seek His presence in my daily life.
And that’s why I’m here.
To help you discover a deeper rest in God’s presence and cultivate simple practices that improve your life in lasting ways.
I’m glad you’re here.
