Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on June 20, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Pastor Matt Chandler! Another year older and wiser—though we're pretty sure your sermons have already maxed out the wisdom meter. Your passionate preaching continues to inspire thousands at The Village Church, proving that even megachurch pastors can keep it real (and funny!) from the pulpit.

From leading impactful community outreach programs in Dallas-Fort Worth to authoring insightful books that challenge us all spiritually, you've had quite a remarkable journey this past year. May you celebrate today with as much joy and laughter as you've brought into our lives—and may your coffee always be stronger than Monday mornings!
