Pastor Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has returned home following a recent hospitalization due to an undisclosed illness. His wife, Lauren Chandler, shared updates on social media, requesting prayers and expressing gratitude for the support received.
Lauren revealed in an Instagram post that Matt was admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night earlier this week, experiencing symptoms similar to what she had faced earlier in the month. She described the experience as “scary to go through” but assured followers that medical support had been instrumental in their recovery.
“For those asking, it does seem we might know the culprit,” she shared, adding that while her own tests were inconclusive, they were confident in the diagnosis. She emphasized that although the situation was unsettling, they remained hopeful about the healing process.
In a later update, Lauren joyfully announced that Matt had been discharged and was on the path to full recovery. “Matt is home!!! Thank you all for praying for us! We got answers and Matt is well on his way to recovery,” she wrote, adding that she is now feeling completely better.
Out of respect for privacy, the couple has chosen not to disclose specific details about the illness. Lauren noted that their primary reason for sharing their journey was to ask for prayers. She expressed deep appreciation for the support, emphasizing the power of faith and community in times of uncertainty.
