Hey, I'm Matt.
I write about things I care about — faith, community, family, and whatever else is on my mind. You'll also find my church talks here.
Agency, Sacrifice, and Pioneers
I gave this talk on July 20th, 2025 in the Snowflake 9th Ward Sacrament Meeting at the Temple View Chapel in Snowflake, Arizona, per an assignment from President Todd Burk. This talk was especially fun to research for as I love reading my pioneer ancestral histories.
Miracles of Christ
I gave this talk on February 23rd, 2025 in the Snowflake 1st Ward Sacrament Meeting at the historic Main Street Chapel in Snowflake, Arizona, per an assignment from President Todd Burk. It was the first time I had heavily relied on AI for a talk. Although the talk was interesting, I felt it lacked spirit.
Christmas Christ
I gave this talk on December 15th, 2024 in the Snowflake 6th Ward Sacrament Meeting at the historic Main Street Chapel in Snowflake, Arizona, per an assignment from President Todd Burk.
Your Guide to Raising a 4H Pig
Helping your child raise a 4H Pig can be overwhelming if you didn't grow up doing it. I wrote this guide immediately after my first year to try to capture all the questions I had going into it. While it's a bit Navajo County centric, I'm sure the general principles will apply in any fair situation.
