In the epic adventure of our existence, we often seek clarity, purpose, and the wisdom to travel through our wild and precious journey. Life’s Field Guide unveils five timeless pillars essential to a well-lived life, offering profound yet accessible insights from a Christian perspective.
Embark on the untamed landscapes of the soul, guided by truths that echo the rugged beauty of God’s plan from the beginning. Here, simplicity meets profound depth as we dive into the meaning of life, the problem of life, the substance of life, the result of life, and a billion dollars worth of wisdom. Each chapter serves as a compass, pointing to paths walked by every human in history, yet remarkably relevant to the battles and blessings of our modern lives.
Life’s Field Guide calls you to a deeper journey with God, yourself, and others, inviting you to embrace the adventure He has inscribed on your heart. It is a guide for the soul’s journey, offering clarity and direction amidst life’s complexities, and distractions. More than a book, it is a companion for the wilderness of your soul, echoing the eternal truths of a life lived fully in the embrace of God’s friendship, love, and purpose.
Life’s Field Guide is a compilation of Matt’s core talks. It started out with Matt’s quest to figure out and simplify life’s greatest wisdom that he could pass on to Caleb (his son). It grew into a never ending process of tweaking the core into talks for college students / young adults.

Go over 1 chapter a week starting with the introduction (you are here), resist the temptation to fly through the guide. Let each chapter marinate for a week. Process it, Think about, pray about, do something about that weeks topic each day for that week.
Get together in a small group and ask hard honest questions about the chapter that week, this is the field notes. Love on each other, edify each other, hold one another accountable about what you talk about. Care about whats happening in this time.
Each week commit to sharing what you’re getting out of this with someone outside your large and small group.
