Career
Along with his older brother Paul Crouch Jr., Crouch spent his youth working behind the scenes at TBN in its early years. Crouch eventually rose to producing the network's flagship program, Praise The Lord, by the mid-1980s. Crouch later produced a Christian music video series, Real Videos, and a children's program, Kids' Club, for the network with his wife Laurie.
In 2010 Matt and Laurie Crouch resigned their positions at Gener8Xion Entertainment and sold their shares. Crouch subsequently joined TBN's staff full-time as a vice-president, eventually becoming president in 2012 when his father Paul Sr. symbolically "passed the torch" to become the head of TBN operations.[3] In addition to his role managing TBN's day-to-day operations, Crouch and Laurie also appear as hosts of Praise the Lord, TBN's signature nightly program.
