Summary:
“When Gathering Light” was the title of a book Matt wanted to write. His plans to turn the title into a book was all along God’s plan for a Podcast. Turns out, this podcast is opening more space than what a book can contain, for us to collect stories honoring the healing essence of God’s light. The reality was and is that God has been shaping our life and marriage so that we could be in a creative space together. We believe that God cleared the debris from our lives so that we can serve Him in the way He desires.
This series of podcasts is our effort at being obedient and honoring God. We didn’t want a series that dumps information on the listener, rather we aimed for conversations with each other, as well as with guests. These are topics that we have discussed on car rides, Sunday mornings, during dark days and sometimes funny, crazy life circumstances. We pray that these dialogs reach the ears and minds that God Intended. We find the life of Christ to be centered on healing. His life was a universal message of compassion and mercy for the sick and the suffering, which is all of us. We hope that you find something in this series that speaks to your heart, and you are encouraged to begin or continue your journey of gathering light.
Shalom
Victoria and Matt

WGL - Season 1: Episode 15 What Can I Do When My Loved One Struggles with Addiction?
Join Matt and Victoria as they sit down with Dan McGown to discuss multiple 12-step programs that support addicts and their loved ones.
We continue to try to bring the most topical mental health issues to "When Gathering Light". We have discussed addiction in different forms. However, we have not talked about what it’s like to love someone battling addiction. We have invited our friend Dan to talk about the power of a 12-step program built to help find positive skills when dealing with the addicts in our lives. Dan has been sober for 20-plus years and is also involved in a support group for loved ones. Dan’s insights and extensive experience in the addiction world makes him a most valued resource.
