Matt Kuiper shares the story behind Desert Plunge, his struggle with anxiety and mental health, and the season that forced him to surrender control and rebuild slowly through faith.
This conversation explores endurance, fatherhood, mental health, cold therapy, and learning how to keep moving forward when life feels heavy.
Matt opens up about panic attacks, depression, addiction, faith, marriage, and the moment he found himself screaming at God alone in the desert — finally realizing he couldn’t carry everything on his own anymore.
More than anything, this is an honest conversation about what happens when darkness finally begins to lift.
