In this powerful Legacy Series episode of the Easier Said Podcast, Simon Gingerich shares a life shaped by faith, hard work, and unwavering integrity. From his early days growing up on a farm, Simon reflects on the values instilled in him through family, discipline, and a simpler way of life that stands in stark contrast to today’s world. He opens up about the influence of strong father figures, the quiet lessons learned through labor, and how enduring life’s inevitable struggles helped forge a deeper sense of purpose.
The conversation turns deeply personal as Simon recounts one of the most defining chapters of his life, the loss of his first wife to cancer at just 41 years old, leaving him to navigate grief while raising young children. With honesty and humility, he shares how faith carried him through heartbreak, what loss taught him about perspective, and how those painful moments ultimately reshaped his calling.
Out of that season emerged renewed purpose, leading Simon to found Son Light Missions in Haiti in 1970. He discusses the profound need he witnessed there, the challenges and rewards of mission work, and the eternal impact of investing in others. This episode is a moving testament to resilience, faith, and legacy, anchored in the belief that even through life’s hardest trials, purpose can be rediscovered and lives can be transformed.
