The Most Important Thing to Matt Blackmon

Before Christ my life was ordinary. No major issues of drugs, sex, or, rock'n'roll. Well, I must admit, I did have a drug problem... my parents drug me to church every Sunday. I was just your average, everyday, not so important, young boy.

When I was 8 years old I was invited to a revival. I can't remember what the message was about, the pastor's name, or who sang the special. God got my attention. I sensed his calling during the altar call. I realized God wanted me to follow Him starting right then. I instantly realized that even though I had been a good kid, I was missing something in my life. I realized I needed to follow Jesus and give Him everything. Being a good kid wasn't good enough, I needed to to put Jesus first in my life.

After listening to Jesus' call, I answered the call into full time ministry. Jesus has used me through good and bad. He allowed me to be a witness at a youthful age to other peers through music in a Christian band. I met my wife whom I've been married to for ten years, and have two beautiful children. I've had the opportunity to minister as a student minister and associate pastor. God is so awesome. I'm excited about serving a living God who can turn an ordinary life into an extraordinary life.
