Page 136: Chad Mattson

Chad Mattson is best known as the lead singer of the band Unspoken.   For nearly 20 years he’s been touring the country, writing hit songs like “Reason,” “Call it Grace,” and “Start a Fire.” But before he set foot on a stage or realized that music was going to be a part of his life, Chad was living under the weight of contradiction.  He knew God was real, he’d felt His presence.  Yet his life was driven by addiction.  From cigarettes, to alcohol, to drugs, to living in drug houses, his addictions grew stronger. He moved further away from the life God wanted for him and spent every day chasing the next fix.
