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
When Gathering Light
WGL - Season 2 Episode 1: When Hard Things get in the Way
Hi! This is Victoria and Matt and this is the second season of When Gathering Light. We want to thank everyone who tuned in during our first season. We certainly enjoyed our many guests, and hopefully we brought some light to our listeners. We now turn the page to season two. Today we are going to get a little personal and reflect on 2023, specifically the second half of the year when Matt struggled with a health issue, and we fell into and came out of the pit known as a home improvement.
As the tribal elder said "we cried, we laughed, we shared." We have some wonderful guests planned in this second season, but first, we feel compelled to share our lives and honor the Lord. Jesus brought us through these circumstances, offered us some wisdom in those moments and absolutely provided us with new light.
Shalom,
Matt and Victoria
