Matt Grace has spent over 21 years in recovery and more than 10,000 hours working directly with individuals and families impacted by addiction. Much of Matt’s professional career was dedicated to supporting high-net-worth families, largely because many essential addiction and family-systems services are not covered by insurance.

Despite this background, Matt’s mission has always been simple and unwavering: to reach as many families as possible.

He wrote God Doesn’t Relapse in part for those who are less fortunate—families who cannot afford expensive practitioners, consultants, or long-term private care. The message is not complex, proprietary, or gated by money. It is accessible, practical, and timeless.

Matt’s speaking centers around three core themes that are just as relevant today as they were fifty years ago:

Enabling. Service. God.

In a world where people experiencing profound internal pain are promised instant external solutions, Matt offers something radically different—something tangible, simple, and free. Whether someone attends a traditional recovery program or pursues medically assisted treatment, Matt has consistently witnessed that helping others and cultivating a relationship with a higher power can only strengthen recovery.

Over the years, Matt has watched thousands of people reclaim freedom, purpose, and joy by doing one deceptively simple thing: helping another human being with no expectation of return.

Matt also hears the skepticism clearly. As our country has become increasingly secular over the past three decades, many struggle with the idea of God. His response is straightforward:

If God feels inaccessible, make service your higher power.

Commit to volunteering just once or twice per month, and a profound internal shift begins to take place—one that protects recovery, restores meaning, and reconnects people to something larger than themselves.
