Dr. Jeff Knight ON - Jeff was introduced to tragedy early in his life, his sister Kim was killed in a tragic automobile accident and shortly after as his family was suffering through deep pain and trauma his parents divorced. Without the foundation of family and home Jeff was used to he watched another of his sisters begin to lose herself in her battle with drug addiction. Jeff was determined to learn from the mistakes of others and the tragedies that life had handed him, to do this he learned to look to and trust in God. I have known Jeff for years and seen first hand how he has dealt with and met head on pain and suffering and because of faith he held onto during the darkness he was surrounded by, Jeff is now the first person to Show Up when anyone he knows is in trouble. The empathy he now has the capacity to offer is magnetic and when Jeff shows up with love to lift another, the power of God is with him and miracles happen. I personally am a first hand witness of this as Jeff helped to rescue me from my darkness and alcoholism, bringing love and worth to me when I had none for myself.
Jeff speaks about trusting in God, the power of prayer and direction that God brings to life when you pray, listen and follow promptings that come. He also talks about losing yourself in service to others, and surrounding yourself with people that lift you up.

Mike discusses his path to finding delight in his life. After a childhood of unfulfilled dreams, ADHD and struggles in School, Depression, and the shame of not living up to unrealistic expectations, Mike’s life changed when he found God began to realize that service to others and getting outside of oneself provides peace and happiness, which lead him to a decision to serve a 2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Indiana. Although Mike’s mission was an incredible experience for him and he returned home “on fire” to continually serve others and live of service, Mike lost his footing, went through a divorce, began drinking and using drugs again, which lead to full blown addiction, and after years of this he found himself all alone in pure shame, guilt, and darkness. On the edge, contemplating suicide Mike had an experience through prayer that taught him his value to God and which gave him the courage to, rise up, face the life he had created. Mike decided to forgive himself and take ownership of his life and to carry no shame for past choices but rather to choose to see them as valuable experience that no allows him to serve others in their own dark places. He speaks about the “failures” of his life as his greatest blessings which now give him purpose, Shame as a dark lie, and rising each time we fall.

Welcome to Come Towards Delight the Podcast. The reason I started Come Towards Delight and what I hope to accomplish, is to find amazing people with incredible stories and giving them a platform to share with us. Throughout my life I have always been attracted to people with light and energy in their souls. These people seem to look at life with passion and energy and I see them as the one's that jump at the chance to try new things, serve someone they don't know, and wrap their arms around someone that is having a rough time. Examples of these types of people in my life have made me realize that when all is said and done and life is over, I would be happy to be defined as someone who is delightful, brought delight to others, and saw this life as nothing less than full of delights all around. As I've paid attention to people with Delight I have noticed a commonality between the majority of them, it is that they have gone through some difficult challenges, trials, tragedies, and some of them have even passed through the darkness of despair. Why is it that someone who has passed through hard things and dark times see's the world with so much more beauty, gratitude, and Delight? Join me on my quest to understand why!
