Making Music Possible With God

In this special episode, I’m joined by one of my favorite guests—my dad—as we reminisce about the Edelweiss Club, a German cultural staple from my childhood that helped shape my love for music and community. Then, we shift to the heartfelt sounds of the Sunflower Strummers, a dulcimer group who play in tribute to a beloved family member, spreading joy and the love of the Lord wherever they go. It’s an episode full of legacy, faith, and the kind of music that reaches the soul.

In this special episode, Victoria, podcast creator, sits down with her husband Andrew to share their journey. They talk about how music once felt like a heavy burden, and explores what happens when God takes the very thing that wore you out and uses it to restore and redefine your life.
