New Show #215- Matthew From Darkness to Light

Interview was done June 24, 2022!
I love meeting new people willing to let me in and share their “lemon to lemonade” experience!
This story is about Matthew who is a gay member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was married to a man for 6 years. Once that marriage ended he decided to turn his faith back to God and completely love himself. Matthew teaches that we can be open to let God guide us and it was at that point that he finally felt valued, loved, and appreciated.  Church is where broken people need to be! His story is all about his spiritual journey toward obtaining his Masters in Psychology and returning to the LDS Church. What message do you get from this interview?

Word definitions for Latter Day Saint religion: 
TEMPLE: Temples are literally houses of the Lord. They are places where individuals can go to make sacred promises with God, feel His Spirit, and escape from the hectic demands of day-to-day life.
SINGLES WARD: Single adult congregations (wards) provide an opportunity for single people to fellowship, serve, and learn to live Christlike lives with others in their peer group. Because no matter your stage of life, it’s important to follow Jesus Christ and strive to be your best.
TEMPLE RECOMMEND: A temple recommend is not simply a piece of paper; it reflects our willingness and worthiness to receive the blessings of the temple. It certifies that the bearer has met certain precise and demanding qualifications and is eligible to enter the House of the Lord.
BISHOP: A bishop is a man who has been ordained and set apart as the presiding high priest for a ward congregation. He has overall responsibility for ministering the temporal and spiritual affairs of the congregation.

ABOUT the LemonAid Stand: Heidi started hosting the LemonAid Stand live radio talk show, over 20 years ago, in 1999! It all came about when Heidi was dealing with thoughts of suicide, inadequacy, and dealing with infertility. She realized as she reached out to others and heard their stories, she would be uplifted and inspired no matter what she was going through. So this podcast has old “Original” shows from that time period. It also has “New” shows that are currently being recorded with new guests. And it has “Update” shows where Heidi reached out to original radio show guests to find out how the past 20 years have been!
Heidi is a motivational speaker and would love to speak at your event about how to elevate your happiness!
Theme song written and recorded by Heidi’s baby brother Shane!
