Click to Play

A Wimberley resident and an attendee of our church whenever his schedule allows, Matthew Dowd is an analyst for ABC News and is co-author of the New York Times bestseller Applebee's America: How Successful Political, Business and Religious Leaders Connect with the New American Community.  He is a founding partner of ViaNovo, an international communications and brand positioning firm based in Austin, and has been a campaign strategist in political races throughout the country. In 30 years, Matthew has worked for Democrats and Republicans, and was the Chief Strategist on two winning reelection efforts for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 and for President George W. Bush in 2004. His innovative approach and leadership on the 2004 campaign led the bi-partisan American Association of Political Consultants to name him Pollster of the Year. 

For Matthew coming home is not a return to a physical place; it is coming home to the Truth of yourself.   In this talk Matthew shares some of the steps of his spiritual journey, one that was played out on the very public stage of presidential politics.  He is introduced by Cherie Conway.
