    When the Church Leaves the Building - Matt & Kady's Story

    "When church leaves the building" isn't just a catchy phrase... it’s a way of life.  In this episode, we sit down with Matt & Kady Woodruff, the founders of Love is the Metric, to hear how God radically changed their lives and birthed a ministry that meets people where they are: in the streets, in addiction, in homelessness, and in deep brokenness. They go to the darkest places to for the one.  What started as obedience became a calling. Matt and Kady share how the Lord led them beyond the four walls of the church and into the lives of the forgotten. It is their life's mission to walk with the hopeless, love without conditions, and help people not only get out of destructive situations, but into a real, life-changing relationship with Jesus. THIS is love on the move.  This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and deeply convicting. It’s a reminder that the Gospel isn’t meant to stay inside a building; it’s meant to be lived out, one surrendered “yes” at a time.  👉 If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when faith turns into action, this episode is for you.  Connect with Matt & Kady here:  https://www.facebook.com/matthew.woodruff.874383  YT:  ⁨@loveisthemetric⁩ IG: loveisthemetric  Shop our latest merchandise here: https://the-shieldmaidens.myshopify.com/  Connect with us on socials: https://www.facebook.com/theshieldmaidens  https://www.instagram.com/theshieldmaidenspodcast/  Production by Hitchcock Visuals
