PODCAST
Becoming Like Jesus
The Christian life is not a formula for happiness but a lifelong journey in which the Holy Spirit gently shapes us—not into perfect people, but into those who increasingly reflect Jesus as we grow in holiness, relationship with God, and awareness of His love. In this book, Matt Chandler walks through Jesus’ beatitudes in Matthew 5, showing that the “Blessed are…” statements are not rewards for having life together or descriptions of different people, but a portrait of one person being continually transformed by Christ.
“Find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the things that rob you of that affection and walk away from them. That’s the Christian life as easy as I can explain it for you.”
The Village Church
Matt has served for over 20 years as the Lead Pastor of The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas—a church committed to loving God, loving people, and making disciples of Jesus Christ. His leadership continues to shape a community centered on gospel truth, spiritual growth, and faithful discipleship.
