He also has a passion to help men become all God intends them to be.

Sometimes great success brings greater challenges. For twenty years, Ohio native, Matt Hammitt, was the lead singer and songwriter for Dove Award-winning two time Grammy-nominated band Sanctus Real. Birthed from his own struggles, one of Matt’s greatest passions has become ministering to broken families. In 2010, Matt’s son, Bowen, was born with a rare and severe heart disease. Through the pain of caring for a sick child, Matt and Sarah faced some very difficult years of marriage. Out of their experience, Matt and Sarah, started two organizations that mister to families today. In 2016, Matt and Sarah also launched “Lead Me Live” men’s conferences, aimed at encouraging and equipping men to become great spiritual leaders in their home.
