Matthew Rial

Hello, My name is Matthew Rial. I've been on this Earth for a little more than twenty nine years. The first nine went pretty slow and the last twenty have seemed to fly by. I'm not sure why that is. 

I am a Christian writer with a non-fiction blog and a science fiction series in the works. One of the reasons I love writing is because it gives me a way to tell people about Jesus. He's done some unthinkably awesome things in my life and I want to tell everyone about it. 

When Jesus stepped into my life, I was a lonely and self righteous porn addict. Now, I'm FREE from porn and God uses me to initiate God honoring friendships with others. It's been one crazy ride and God's still doing great works in my broken heart.

These days, God has been using a Christ centered 12-step program called Regeneration to do some of those works. If you keep up with my blog, you can't miss me talking about it. I'm kind of like the teenage boy who found a new favorite video game and wants to tell everyone about it.  

I live in the DFW metroplex of Texas with a couple roommates and two of the best dogs this world has ever seen. I'm a huge fan of movies, books, video games, and pretty much anything nerdy. All of my friends learn the full extent of this truth when I show them my life size statue of Han Solo in carbonite; it's awesome. 

I'm a member at Watermark Community Church, though all Christians are actually 'The Church'. It's an incredible community of believers who work hard at being known and knowing those around them. I wouldn't be the man I am today without the believers there who God has used to help me.
