My name is technically Robert Ratleph, but I like you so you can call me Matt.

I'm a Christian and have been living for God ever since Jesus got ahold of me in 2004. I love God, love God's Word, and love the local church. I have a passion for evangelism and mercy ministry and a burden to see more gospel-centered churches planted.

I'm a minimalist, so I try to live lightly and calmly as best I can. I'm a traceur and a martial artist. I must confess, I'm an unashamed Apple fan. Yes, I'm that guy in Starbucks, sipping his latte, browsing the web on his iPad or iPhone.

I like to create art through photos, videos, music or writing. I like to read, whether that's Twitter, eBooks or blogs. I live in Wheaton, IL and I work at Crossway as their Digital Project Coordinator.

So, hi there. How's it going?
