Break It Down with Matt Carter

Matt has explored the Ketogenic diet for the past couple years, in part due to his friend and producer Aaron Sprinkle, who has made some major life changes, including a LCHF (low-carb, high-fat) diet after discovering he was at risk for Type 2 Diabetes. They bring clarity to the ketogenic lifestyle and discuss some advantages and common struggles that come with such a change.

Matt was recently a guest on VOX Podcast with Mike Erre and Andy Lara on the future of mega-churches. It's a great conversation that we wanted to share with you here as well! VOX Podcast launched in 2015 as a place to engage in many of today's culture's most challenging conversations around the LGBTQ community, American politics, church politics, and Christian culture's catastrophe of marginalizing the very people that Jesus himself would associate with.
