Matt & Carol: What ALS Can’t Take

Matt underwent a profound change when he went from effortlessly walking and running to finding his body seemingly forgetting how. Through a series of medical tests, he eventually received the devastating diagnosis of ALS. The decline of his health has required immense changes for both Matt and his wife, Carol, impacting their lifestyle in profound ways. Yet, it is through this very suffering that their faith has grown stronger, and they share the unwavering hope they find in Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.Know someone who would be encouraged by Matt and Carol’s testimony? You should share it!
