173: Balancing Life and Family on the Road with Sanctus Real's Matt Hammit

from Are You Real | Finding Your Purpose · host Jonb Fuller

When you're a successful singer and songwriter for a popular touring Christian band using your God-given gifts to share the gospel with others, and you also have a God-given wife and family back home, how do you arrive at a decision to take a leap of faith in choosing to pursue your family dreams while trusting that God is making a way for you to use your talents closer to the home-front? Jon sits down with guest, Matt Hammitt, to hear his compelling story of how he did just that. Matt Hammitt is an American singer, songwriter, speaker and author. He was the lead singer and songwriter for the band Sanctus Real from 1996-2016. Passion for family is what ultimately led Matt to leave Sanctus Real. He has been married to his wife, Sarah, for eighteen years, and they have four children. After departing the band, Matt joined the FamilyLife speaker team and is a keynote speaker and performer at marriage and men's conferences across the US, including Kirk Cameron's "Living Room Reset" events. He has released two albums as a solo artist. Waterbrook Multnomah (Penguin Random House) will be releasing Matt's next book, Lead Me: Finding Courage to Fight for Your Marriage, Children, and Faith, in February 2020.
