Spring is in full swing, and Easter is here! And a new month means a new podcast interview for our Men’s Leadership Network! This month on the
Men’s Leadership Network Podcast, Pastor Jeff Simmons sits down with Teddy Matosich for a conversation about how as men we can have a life-transforming impact on the individuals God has placed in our lives by being intentional, available, and willing to step in and share the hope of the Gospel that has transformed our lives.
Teddy grew up in upstate New York in what he describes as a “stereotypical Italian-American family.” He and his wife Renee have been married for 19 years and have two kids in high school. After graduating from college, Teddy moved to Georgia where he spent 12 years coaching high school football. He then moved to California to begin his career in the mortgage banking industry, which is what he still does today.
When you listen in on Teddy’s conversation, you will immediately find out that he has a passion for God’s Word, a commitment to living out his faith in Christ wherever God puts him, and a fire to invest in others and make a Gospel impact in their lives.
One of the lives he has impacted is a young man named Chad who was the server at the restaurant Teddy and Renee visited weekly after church. I am confident that each of us will be challenged by this story of how an intentional relationship that was built over time resulted in Chad trusting Christ, and Teddy having the pleasure of baptizing him last year.
Teddy also shares how he sends a daily Bible reading email with notes, commentary, context, background, geography, and history to help others read and understand Scripture. If you are interested in getting Teddy’s daily email simply
