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.
With Gratitude, Matt
The Power of Love and Perseverance = Miracles, with Deb and Terry Norton
Deb and Terry Norton are the loving parents of 3 children whose lives changed when their son, Chris, suffered a debilitating spinal cord injury while playing football for Luther College his freshman year. Paralyzed from the neck down, he was given just a three percent chance of any kind of recovery. Not one to back down from a challenge, Chris chose to fight and slowly regained feeling in his limbs and made walking his goal. Just 5 years later, he walked across the stage to accept his college diploma with the help of his fiancé Emily. His story has inspired many and was made into a film titled, 7 Yards, the distance he would also walk down the aisle to wed Emily in 2018. Listen in as Matt talks with his parents about how they supported Chris, started a foundation in his name, and have inspired so many others with how they have cared for their family.
