Matthew West

For Matthew West, a relationship with God felt more like a perk from family connections. The pressure he felt to live up to his “preacher’s kid” standard followed him everywhere. Could he ever escape the weight of others’ expectations?

After making decisions and doing life his own way, Matthew discovered that the secret to true identity and peace wasn’t actually in his control at all. There was a greater storyteller at work all along.

Now, as a Billboard Music Award-Winning singer and songwriter, Matthew travels all over the world collecting peoples’ life-changing stories and sharing them through songs. See how Matthew escaped the pressure and learned to live life fully, one chapter at a time.
