Summary

My friend Zach Davis (married father of three, graduate of BYU and Harvard Divinity School) joins us to talk about Wayfare—a new magazine launched by Faith Matters in late 2022. Zach talks about the purpose of and vision for the magazine and how it is a community effort and how individuals can get involved in producing content for Wayfare. Zach also talks about Faith Matters—its purpose and vision and plans for second Restore in October of 2023 (Zach shares the actual dates and location in the podcast). Zach also shares some of his personal story to find his career path and principles and perspectives to help others make their way forward. I was deeply moved hearing more of Zach’s story. Thank you, Zach, for being on the podcast. Your personal story and work at Faith Matters is blessing many. And thank you to everyone involved at Faith Matters for your much needed work in our community.

0:00.0	Welcome listeners to another episode of Listen, Learn, and Love, hosted by Richard Osler.
0:09.2	My guest on today's podcast, joining me from his home in near Boston, Massachusetts, is my friend Zachary Davis.

0:28.6	director of Faith Matters, and I believe that's a new position in the first paid employee

0:48.9	And I thought it would be great for Zach as the new executive director of Faith Matters

0:56.3	or is the editor of Wayfair Magazine, W-A-Y-F-A-R magazine, and talk about that.
1:05.9	The word magazine is a lot broader term than I'm used to, and he'll talk about thinking about a magazine
1:14.1	in a much more expansive way. Zach is a graduate of Brigham Young University. He's a graduate
1:20.8	of Harvard Divinity School. He lives in Somerville with his wife and three kids. And welcome to the podcast, Zach.
1:30.6	Thank you so much, Richard.
1:33.1	I'd love you to tell your story.
1:35.9	Often, I mean, you're doing something.

1:43.3	It's a very unique career path to go to Harvard Divinity School
1:47.1	and doing all the things.
