Build Show Live
In this episode of the Build Show, Matt takes us to his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he reconnects with the roots of his love for construction and introduces viewers to an inspiring community effort. Matt shares the city’s industrial past, the impact of the steel industry’s decline, and how his early church work repairing homes in struggling neighborhoods shaped his passion for building. We then meet Adam Kenard, who leads the Construction Trades program at Urban Impact, teaching middle and high school students valuable trade skills, discipline, and life lessons rooted in respect and responsibility. Touring Adam’s workshop and his family’s nearly century-old home renovation, Matt highlights the transformative power of mentorship, craftsmanship, and faith in rebuilding lives and communities. This heartwarming episode blends history, construction, and hope, showing how building truly changes more than just houses.
