Jesus is the perfect Image of God, displayed through the laying down of His life.

Jesus showed us that we are most alive when we are most sacrificial. In the action of surrendering to God and giving up His life, God is displayed, and people will be drawn to Him. To be men that display Him, we must be willing to sacrifice. Let us be empowered by the One who conquered death, so that we can fearlessly display Christ and Him crucified in our families, our jobs, and in the world.

Men, go boldly and unafraid. Drive the enemy out of your promised land. You have what it takes to win the war. by @petermattis

This project is super special to me. I came to this house, my church, almost 13 years ago because I heard a sound and something leapt within me. I ugly cried in the back as I sat and felt the nearness of Jesus, His voice singing in the midst of people ministering TO Him, blessing His name, tending to and adoring the Lord. That moment changed and marked me. I moved across the country 4 months later.

We are a church that is made up of people. Wonderful, beautiful, covered in flesh people that are figuring out how to live a supernatural life that truly take Jesus at His word and believe what He said. All that He said and nothing less.

But at our core I believe we are a house of worship. And I am proud to call this place home and help serve and lead these musicians and worshipers. Our corporate times together are mere moments and flashes in the midst of the tapestry of real life. But these moments mark us.

That night I remember ending the song I just finished and about to move on to the next when I just felt a whisper. Nothing grand. Just a glint in His eyes. My only response was to give Jesus every single bit of glory I could find and Alpha and Omega the song had led me there countless times. Unplanned and unprompted I just started singing hoping the band knew it. And within seconds you could feel the presence of my favorite person filling the room almost like a billowing cloud as a group of people sung about and TO Jesus. He still rides and fills our praise.

Thankfully @sperbies jumped in to hit those stunning high notes and we were swept away forgetting about the technicalities and practicalities, the needs and ought to’s, the should’s and even the room we were in. In those moments the things of this world grow pale and dim in the light and beauty of His face. Just look at Him. He is enough.

Honored for this tiny glimpse of a moment to be heard by the many. There are so so many more unheard and while those are my favorites they makes these all the sweeter and rich. by @petermattis

Two years old today. Honestly how?! Being your dada Benjamin Shepherd has been, with few exceptions, one of the greatest privileges of my life. You seize every moment with pure exhilaration and unfeigned passion. Your joy is palpable, your fearless heart is bold yet somehow unfailingly kind, warm and truly affected.

Your singing and dancing beckon me to always join the song regardless (even moana) your one more jump with me into the water reminds me this moment is the greatest of generous gifts. I’m speechless at how fear is not even in your equation.

I didn’t know I wanted to be woken up at 6am, my kitchen torn to disarray, my every still moment invaded by a - cockadoodle doo dada! I never knew I wanted the constant occupation and takeover of my lap or the regular chorus of - hold you hold you - ringing with your arms up stretched. Didn’t know I actually wanted to share every. single. thing. I would ever eat.

I didn’t know my heart had the space to hold you. I also didn’t know I could be so tired! But man, are you worth it and beyond. My arms will hold you as long as they can Mijo. And with our Jesus, I promise this world and this life is better than any pain that may come. Every adventure is better with you. Happy Birthday my boy.

Today your mumma and I celebrate you. And later this week we will all welcome your sister into this world. Let’s show her how great the gift of life is, hey?

My son.

We have a healthy, strong and handsome little boy!!! And a very happy, healthy and beautiful momma!! She did unbelievable.

8.5 lbs, 21 inches

Right as his head crowned the sun rose over the Eastern Mountains to our back and filled the room. We felt the Lord so strong in a moment. Tears and so much joy, born into the rising light. We are undone.

I have never in all my life felt such a convergence of heaven meeting earth, eternity meeting beginning.

We are in LOVE! Welcome to the world my son. taken in Redding, California by @petermattis

on our last day in alaska the mattis boys finally didn’t have something planned. don’t get me wrong, we love adventure quite obviously. the hikes and glaciers, the summits and journey to them awaken something in us. they do something deeper than words in our souls and remind us why we are alive.

we drove to a little pond called Blueberry Lake in the high alpine meadows on the Valdez mountains. my brother and dad fished there two decades ago. i stood on the shallow grassy banks of that tiny lake holding my dad’s beautiful customs flys. each one he made by hand, each one pieced together with precision and art. he wasn’t there, but his craft and love was made manifest in my hands. i would have rathered him there, but his expression of his love was enough and in a strange way more powerful.

we didn’t catch a thing. it wasn’t the point. it never was the point. my brother and i laid back on the dirt and grass and napped in the sun. i asked God if i could come back here with dad. He said yes. And also in heaven and in the new earth. our world is more intertwined with the eternal than we know. i’d meet him there on those grassy banks and the trinity would join in, my brother, our kids and family.

it was that last day after the blisters of hikes, dozens of massive mosquito bites, sun burns, tired from the midnight sun and early call times. it was that last day in the unplanned, the simple that it all became profound. we became brothers again following in the foot steps of our dad.

i got it. holding those flys in my hand. their colors and ties. sure they were flys. but they were love made tangible like considering the lilies and sparrows. my dad’s love could not be stopped by mere lack of physical presence and tuning in over a FaceTime screen. no, his love was and is made tangible all around us. it’s speaks our language if we but pause to see it, feel it. he prepared something in advance, something beyond, something more powerful, more true than the physicality of this world. all of it an expression, revelation and revealing of his current Presence with us. taken in Thompson Pass by @petermattis
