  • Informed, entertaining, convicting

    Matt’s teaching is thoroughly Biblically-based and always points to Jesus. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, but he presents serious material in as gentle a way as possible. I hope the youngsters that are his audience appreciate what he does as much as this old guy.

    Matt Howell could have a listener engaged on the most boring topic. He has a gift of teaching in a way that engages people regardless of where they are in their faith and biblical knowledge.
