In this episode, we sit down with Matt to talk about his journey into ministry at Heart O’ The Lakes and the deep, relational culture that continues to shape our church family. From fun moments like an AI-generated song about the Great Commission with our middle school boys, to real talk about walking with people through pain, baggage, and restoration—we cover a lot of ground.

We dive into what makes HOTL's DNA so unique and how Matt is helping pour that DNA into teams, ministries, and everyday relationships. You’ll hear stories about building authentic community, the importance of being a church where the broken and hurting feel safe, and how we’re equipping people—young and old—to live out their faith beyond Sunday mornings.

Whether you’re new to HOTL, wondering how to get more involved, or just need encouragement to take your next step, this episode is a reminder: Don’t wait. Your heart learns best through your hands.

Life can often feel messy, especially when we face struggles that seem overwhelming. In this continuation of our "Messy" series, Pastor Cyle addresses one of the most challenging topics we encounter—suicide. In this powerful sermon, he reminds us of the importance of not only reaching out for help when we need it, but also being a consistent and compassionate presence for the people in our lives. We all play a role in ensuring that no one has to feel alone in their darkest moments.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."  -2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)
