Last week’s episode of The Redeemed Man introduced our audience to Matt Garner, The Redeemed’s new director of groups and leader development, by giving him the chance to tell his backstory—an outwardly successful but secretly hollow life that was turned around by rediscovering his faith with his wife and family. This week founder Paul Amos talks with Matt about his present—how he first got connected with The Redeemed, what his new role entails, and what he’s learned about real male friendship and leadership that he’s excited to be sharing with other men in need of direction.
