Matt Renaud – Donoho Prairie Christian Church

Matt has seemingly boundless energy. When he gets excited about sharing the word of God, it’s impossible not to be excited too. Sometimes he talks so fast it’s hard to keep up, but the passion he has for the Lord comes through loud and clear. He and his family have been such a blessing to our little country church, Donoho Prairie Christian Church in Texico, IL. Matt preaches uncompromising biblical truth that may step on some toes sometimes, but he always ends with the hope we have through Jesus Christ. He stays insanely busy at all times, serving as the Regional Superintendent of Schools for several surrounding counties, one of the co-founders/owners at the popular ice cream shop Yellin Helen’s in Dix, IL, and another business on the side that he manages, all while preaching every Sunday and being there for his church family wherever needed. I don’t know how he does it all, but I do know he needs all the prayers, support, and appreciation we can give him. At Donoho Prairie, we know how incredibly blessed we are to have Matt, his wife Joy, and the rest of their family with us, and I hope that he can be recognized and appreciated outside our community as well. Matt is so joyful to greet everyone personally and is so encouraging and upbeat. He is always excited to share the good news of Jesus and God’s abundant love for us. Matt is more than spiritually involved, he is always willing to jump in and help solve anyone’s problems. He and his wife do a lot for the church and community, including premarital counseling and performing my wedding. And supportive in our ministry for moms through MomCo International. I love my pastor because he studies and preaches the Word faithfully. He’s consistent in what he teaches. I’m encouraged by his prayers that show his love and devotion to God. I know he looks to God to make sure he’s working for God’s vision for our church and in life (and not his own vision). My pastor is the real deal who doesn’t act spiritually superior or condescending. He devotes his sermons to God. He invites the Holy Spirit into his sermons and preaches in a way that makes us really think about what Jesus wants in our lives. I cannot take notes quick enough in his sermons. My pastor doesn’t just preach discipleship, he seeks to make disciples of others. He’s truly passionate about seeing those without Christ become followers of the Savior. my pastor truly has a heart filled with Christ’s love. Not only does Matt Renaud go above and beyond as a preacher but he also is the Regional Superintendent at district 13 ROE, doing his very best to keep our schools away from the crazy ways of this new age and protecting the innocence of childhood. Oh and he’s also my dad and I admire him so

Episode 172: Yeah, I Can Work on That!

Happy New Year! The start of the year is a great time to set goals and reflect on the areas we need to improve. Sometimes our spouse is the first person to notice and be affected by those weaknesses and then we react in defensiveness. But when we own our weaknesses and commit to change, that benefits both ourselves and our marriage! In this week’s episode, we share about how to give and receive grace as we work on our personal shortcomings.
