We are joined again by Matt DeMateo, Pastor at New Life Community Church and Executive Director of New Life Centers Chicagoland, in Part 2 of our podcast on taking bold steps of faith. Matt gets real with us as he shares from his own experiences of climbing mountains by faith only to find dark valleys on the other side. He also shares some of his biggest lessons learned about God and himself through this journey.

Matt has been working with young people in Chicago since 2000. He lives and serves in the Little Village neighborhood on Chicago's southwest side with his wife Sarah and his three children Bella, Benny, and Robert. New Life Centers services over 5,000 youth and families with more than 750 volunteers.
