The Day I Stopped Wasting My Life

June 30, 2026

My name is Matt. I''m a husband, a father, and above all else, a follower of Jesus Christ.

For the first eighteen years of my life, I spent far too many of my days chasing entertainment instead of purpose. I was alive, but I wasn''t living for what mattered most.

Everything changed on April 3, 2015.

That was the day the Lord saved me.

From that moment on, my perspective on life began to change. I became convinced that every day I wake up is a gift from God — not something I''ve earned, but something I''ve been graciously given. Every sunrise is one more opportunity to know Him, love people, serve others, and become more like Christ.

Over the next decade, life moved quickly. I built a career. I got married. God blessed my wife and I with children. Responsibilities grew, seasons changed, and the pace of life only accelerated.

But one truth never changed: I never stopped being grateful for one more day.

  • One more morning to wake up.
  • One more conversation to encourage someone.
  • One more opportunity to forgive.
  • One more chance to share the hope I''ve found in Jesus.
  • One more life that could be changed forever.

That''s where ONE MORE was born.

Not because I wanted to start a brand, but because I wanted to remind people of a truth that has transformed my own life: today is a gift.

None of us are promised tomorrow. Every breath, every conversation, every opportunity, every relationship is grace.

My prayer is that ONE MORE would encourage you to live differently — not because of fear, but because of gratitude. To stop wasting the days God has given you and start living them intentionally. To pursue Him wholeheartedly, love people deeply, and make every additional day count for eternity.

Our stories won''t all look the same, and they shouldn''t. Scripture tells us that we are the body of Christ, each uniquely gifted with a purpose to fulfill. But we all have this in common:

We''ve been given one more day.

The question is... what will we do with it?

Here''s to one more.
