Hi! We are Matt and Alina. Matt grew up in California and became a believer in Jesus over a decade ago. His interests are studying God’s Word, working out, and spending time with his family.
Alina grew up in a Christian family in Texas and has been a believer since she was a child. She enjoys learning more about Jesus, being in nature, and doing anything creative.
Throughout the years, God has grown us both in different ways and brought us together in October of 2022. We just celebrated our 1st year of marriage on January 6, 2025! We live in northern California with our two dogs, Luna and Mackey.
Who are we?
How did it start?
Matt started by posting short videos about apologetics and Christian life on Instagram. Eventually, his younger brother, Daniel, pushed him to start posting Christian content on TikTok. Through that avenue, Matt recognized how lonely and hungry the body of Christ is, searching for answers and connection online.
After Matt and Alina met, Alina started creating Christian content on TikTok too. God eventually placed it on Matt’s heart to expand the TikTok ministry into broader avenues where believers could connect and become secure in their identity as a believer. It was clear that God brought us (Alina and Matt) together for this larger purpose of ministry.
What is the goal of this website?
We want this website to be a central location for...
resources (articles, devotionals, other websites, videos, podcasts, etc.) that help you grow in your walk with Jesus
connection with other believers through the contact section (we want pray for you and answer questions you might have)
finding our other social media platforms for daily Christian content.
Why are we called “Live By Faith?”
At the end of every video, Matt would say, “The just shall live by faith.” We need to stand firm on the truth that as Christians, we are justified by faith in Jesus alone, not by our works! Many Christians forget their identity is found in the perfection of Jesus and we don’t have to strive to earn our salvation. When we are secure in our identity, we can effectively live out our faith everyday by choosing Christ’s love to flow through us.
Galatians 3:11 says that “no one is justified before God by the law, for ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’”
Galatians 2:20 tells us our status as believers: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
The Christian life is all about living by faith.
