Matthew Smith is a Christian non-fiction author passionate about helping believers grow in spiritual maturity, biblical identity, and Gospel-centered living. Drawing from a Pentecostal worldview, he writes with clarity, conviction, and compassion—equipping readers to wake up from spiritual slumber and walk in the Spirit daily.
Outside of writing, Matthew is a 4th Dan Karate instructor and business owner with decades of experience in disciplined training and mentoring others in character, focus, and resilience. This background powerfully informs his writing, as he connects the physical discipline of a martial artist with the spiritual discipline of a Christ-follower.
His books—including Wake Up and Smell the Glory and Wake Up and Walk in the Spirit—challenge readers to live with eternity in mind, fight the good fight of faith, and embrace the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.
Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned disciple, Matthew's work will provoke, inspire, and equip you to grow stronger in your walk with God—body, soul, and spirit.
