Suggested donation $25
A modern Marian miracle: How a broken statue becomes the means of conversion and a ministry of mercy.
Most Marian stories are rooted in ancient apparitions or centuries-old devotions. Kevin Matthews shows how the Blessed Mother still reaches out to people today, even in a city alley next to a dumpster. That moment led to a powerful journey of faith and hope. No one is too broken to be loved. Discover how grace can be found in unexpected places. Told with Matthews’ signature good humor, this confession of the brokenness of mankind is touchingly honest, personally inspiring, and full of hope.
Kevin Matthews is a Chicago radio legend whose impersonations, pranks, and comedy brought entertainment to millions. Many in Grand Rapids will remember his time as a DJ on WLAV. When his health crumbled and his fame began to fade, Matthews discovered redemption next to a dirty dumpster. Broken Mary is Matthews’ story of his early years in radio and stand-up comedy, his successful career, his struggle with MS, and, most importantly, his divine encounter with a broken statue of Mary that changed his life – and countless others.
This presentation is part of the 55plus Series – exploring spirituality and vitality in the second half of life.
