Sitting in the Sun: A Garden, a Grandfather, and the God Who Saves
🎧 Podcast Episode Title: Sitting in the Sun: A Garden, a Grandfather, and the God Who Saves
🌿 Description:
In this meditative and tender episode, Evie Klein Whittingham shares a moving tribute to her grandfather, Jacobeler—“Opa”—a German World War II veteran and immigrant who found peace, purpose, and praise in the soil of his Canadian garden. Through vivid memories of sun-drenched mornings, well-tended plants, and scripture-saturated reflections, we’re invited into a rhythm of life that celebrates both work and wonder.
Amid global turmoil and personal trials, Opa’s quiet acts of faith, daily devotion, and love for family offer a deep reminder: even in a world shadowed by darkness, light is sweet, and God is faithful to save. Anchored in Ecclesiastes and the Psalms, this episode blossoms with hope, heritage, and the healing power of simple joys.
