Do you find yourself frequently stressed out? Or maybe you aren’t sure of your true identity? No matter how hard you try, there just seems to be a giant void in your life?
Welcome to the YOU MATTER To Christ podcast, where we talk to current and former athletes, business professionals, and everyday people just like you. We ask them questions like, when did you hit the buzz saw moment in life, when did God undeniably show up in your life, and why do you pray?
The YOU MATTER To Christ podcast was launched to provide a platform for open and honest conversations that explore faith, hope, and the incredible impact of God’s love. Particularly for those who have doubts or reservations, this podcast is for you.
Life has a way of throwing us into challenging situations, and it’s during those moments that doubts can arise. I know what it’s like to question, to wonder, if there’s more to life than meets the eye. That’s why I want to share stories of hope and inspiration and transformation from both believers and those who may have wrestled with their faith, so that together, we can uncover the undeniable power of God’s love.
I believe that each and every one of us, regardless of our doubts or skepticism, is valued and cherished in his eyes. I believe that YOU MATTER To Christ. You are the only one that has ever existed that is you. Your unique spirit, skills and experiences make you exactly the right person for whatever it is God created you for.
So if you find yourself spiritually skeptical, unsure, curious, or you’re facing a void in your life that you just can’t seem to fill, then this podcast is for you.
Join me in this adventure of exploration into the power of faith and the value of establishing a relationship with God. And remember, in the book of Matthew, chapter seven, verse seven, it says, ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be open to you.
I invite you to ask the tough questions, seek the truth, and knock on the door. Together we will discover that you truly matter to Christ.
God’s peace.

From Dope Dealer To Hope Dealer With Richard Kaufman
Christ embraces all, even
those who have committed the gravest of sins – as long as they are genuinely
interested in converting and changing. Richard Kaufman is a great example of
this, and he is here to share his inspiring journey of transformation from
being a dope dealer to hope dealer. Joining Chad Burmeister, he looks back on
how alcoholism and drugs messed up his life, put him behind bars, and made him
suicidal. He opens up on how God worked wonders on him, even hearing His voice
through a country song, allowing him to get back up on his feet. Richard
explains how he now helps others get through the same tribulations as a coach
and host of the Vertical Momentum Podcast.
