Faith, Family, and a Second Chance: Matthew Sidra’s Story of Survival

In this powerful episode of Can I Ask You A Question?, host Gerice Gittany sits down with Matthew Sidra—a business owner, father of four, and survivor of a near-fatal heart condition—to share one of the most emotional and eye-opening stories we’ve ever featured.

Matthew opens up about his long career in strata, his faith, and the everyday challenges of being a husband, father, and provider. But it’s his life-altering health scare—being rushed into open heart surgery at just 42—that drives the heart of this episode.

He shares what it’s like to come face-to-face with death, how his faith carried him through, and why he’s using his experience to raise awareness for men’s health, self-care, and the power of prayer.

This episode is for anyone who's ever ignored the warning signs, put others first, or needed a reminder that life is fragile—and faith is powerful.
