COME TOWARDS DELIGHT

By Allison Beckert

Mike Gregson’s Podcast of Real Voices Sharing Real Stories

Out of all the news and interest stories out there, inspiration is in much shorter supply than life hacks, quick tips, warnings, dire predictions and even shined up platitudes. What would go a long way for healing is real voices sharing real stories, not shying from the realities but not being dragged down by them—examples of the resilient and inspirational.

Mike Gregson created a podcast for just this goal. As is often shown by his own story and the stories of his guests, great good can come from adversity. Mike started Come Toward Delight during the pandemic, when the industry he worked in and so many others took a heavy hit due to lockdowns.

“All I want to do is lift people up,” Mike says in his first episode, and it was his brother who brought “delight” to the brainstorming sessions.

AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE?

MEDICARE AND MORE Will you soon qualify for Medicare but need some help getting the ball rolling? Would you like a “Medicare 101” specialist to help you make personal decisions? Do you wonder if all your providers might be in your designated network? Do you wonder if you qualify for help paying for your prescription drugs?

own story. It would not be right to spoil it here, but Mike’s experience is one that has shaped his worldview and that is echoed by the powerfully positive experiences his guests share from their own hard times. Some of the most difficult trials are the ones that seem to come without clear cause or are the direct result of our own choices or the choices made by those close to us. They are also the ones that have fewer vocal advocates and less open discussion, which can double down on the pain for those who live with them. Mike’s story is not one to miss.

Life teaches us lessons in ways that make an impact. No matter a person’s faith or worldview, trials hit hard at our soft points. Mike focuses his microphone on those who meet challenges and come out on the other side with strength and positive drive. Life is messy. Trials affect everyone. Most people live through periods where they are lost or off the healthy and safe track. The guests of Come Toward Delight have rebounded from the unthinkable, rising above the burden of expectations and making difficult and powerful changes.

Past podcast guests include Katie Sheets Robertson, who shares her positive compass in the face of an incredible loss connected to Mark Hoffman and the Salamander Letters; Al and Rachel van der Beek, whose unique story of love and music is inspiring and has reached far; and Jason McElwain (J-Mac), who talks with Mike about getting his chance and having his determination and unique view paid back to him in a big way.
