(April 2, 2026 – Brentwood, TN) Churchill Mortgage is excited to announce that it’s President & COO, Matt Clarke, released his first book, “Hope in the Grind.” In this devotional, Matt shared 90 days of hard-won wisdom from the trenches of real life - from boardrooms to mission fields, from coaching youth sports to leading a thriving company, from personal failures to redemptive victories.

Organized around six Core Convictions that guide both life and leadership, each daily reading delivers:

• A compelling story that resonates with your real-world experiences
• Biblical truth that speaks to the challenges you face today
• Practical application you can implement immediately
• Honest insights from someone who's lived it, not just studied it

“I never expected to write a book. It’s a path that God led me on, in the midst of going through the daily grind and making sense of it all through a Christian lens. This isn't another devotional telling you to pray more and work less. This is about bringing your faith into your work - and discovering that God meets you right there in the middle of that grind,” said Matt Clarke, President & COO, Churchill Mortgage.
