With Gratitude, Matt
Gratitude—the profound sense of thankfulness—often emerges from recognizing the blessings, privileges, or serendipities life bestows. While a diagnosis like cancer is rarely seen as a cause for gratitude, Matt Moran felt otherwise. His battle with kidney cancer inspired him to launch this podcast in 2020, a platform where life lessons, faith, and resilience shine through adversity. Every episode shares stories of hope and determination, revealing how gratitude can guide us through life’s toughest challenges. Following Matt’s passing in 2023, his older brother, Bill, stepped in to continue the mission, ensuring the podcast remains a beacon of inspiration. Together, the Moran brothers’ legacy encourages us all to embrace life’s journey with faith, hope, and a grateful heart.

A Story of Recovery and Strength, with China Darrington
God’s plan for all of us is sometimes hard to see, but there is usually a purpose, no matter the journey traveled. China Darrington’s road started with obstacles many can hardly imagine. At a young age, some of her challenges included substance abuse, mental health issues, and human trafficking. After a 20 year battle, she entered recovery while pregnant and began rebuilding her story and her purpose. Her amazing strength and resilience helped her land at a place where she now helps others as the Director of Advocacy and Public Policy at Thrive Peer Recovery Services in Ohio. She has designed and implemented comprehensive recovery support service programs that help organizations with ensuring the right treatments are provided. The problem of human trafficking is likely larger than most are aware (over 25 million people worldwide have been deprived of their freedoms) and this interview with China creates awareness and understanding about sex trafficking and what we can do. Her strong voice, empathy and powerful spirit are making a difference in so many lives. Listen here to learn more or you view the view this wonderful interview with Matt on youtube.
