Beats | EP06 - Praise is a Natural Flow | Matt Faley
Matt Faley, an Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter, is the Chief of Mission for the Diocese of Peoria. He has been working in ministry full-time since 2008, with 10 years as director of a young adult ministry outreach and 3 years as executive director of the archdiocese’s Secretariat for Pastoral Ministries. He has enjoyed sharing his songwriting and leading music at youth rallies and conferences around the country. Hannah Martin interviews Matt Faley in this episode of ‘Beats’
Starting with a guitar and a drum set in 7th grade, Matt Faley followed his desire to become a musician. To him, the Lord made it clear that music was his path; the effect that his music and lyrics had on his audience gave him the affirmation that music was given to him to be shared. Through Matt’s music, inspired by the Holy Spirit, he is able to share what God’s people want to hear.
Growing up, though he was slipping away from the faith, Matt had a moment of surrender in his life that led him back to God. In the midst of this, he experienced a spiritual re-awakening of his gifts to be shared with the world. He shares the message of “vulnerability and authenticity” with the sharing of his heart with his listeners.
In Matt Faley’s project, we get to see a side with love songs and another with praise and worship songs. The song “The Little Things” was inspired by his marriage and the little things that came with it; we “find the depth of God’s heart in those little things.” The Marian songs that Matt Faley writes come from deep reflections on the humanity of Mother Mary.
