Meet Teddy

Born new school and raised old school, Teddy Matthews is an innovative pioneer, passionate communicator, transformational coach, and thought-leader of this generation. Born and raised in Maywood, IL, Teddy dedicates his heart and mission to ministry that makes a global impact. Mentored by John Maxwell, Eric Thomas, and Dr. Dharius Daniels, he continues to grow his skills and knowledge in transformation leadership, mentorship, and mindset development. 

In his role as the official team Chaplain to the National Football League's Chicago Bears, he serves as pastor and mentor to professional athletes, high performance staff, and executive leaders to help them become their best selves so that they can do their best work.

As founder and lead pastor of Empowerment Anywhere, Teddy seeks to reach as many people as possible to help restore their lives and empower generations through Christ. 

 

Still residing in the Chicagoland area, he’s a proud father of his daughter, Cami, and his son, Jayce.
