In the first "by request" episode of The Gathering I'm addressing a request from my man Dr. Mo. If you've seen the news at all in the past month you probably have seen what's happened with Ted Haggard at New Life Church.

So what happens now for the thousands of people who have been listening to his teaching? Is what he said any less real because of his choices? Is God any less real? Who's to judge?

Tough questions...and you may not care for my take, but here is my two cents, now you add to the dialogue.

I believe that there is more to life than what I can see with my eyes.
I don't think I have all the answers, but I believe that we can discover a better life together through passionate conversations & the experiences we all bring to the table.

My name is Mat Koenig and I am seeking others who value truth.
I struggle with life, faith and religion and I don't think that I'm the only one.

I think that we are supposed to live our lives in community with others so I am trying to create a place that isn't about religion. It is my dream to create, with others, a place where transparent, honest, and meaningful relationships are formed. I want to help bring together a community of people who desire a life where it is safe to be honest about who you are, without worrying who will judge you.

Wouldn't it be nice to share life with a group of others where you really love and caring for each other, no matter what your differences are? Wouldn't it be nice to know that if you are hurting, there's a waiting shoulder to cry on?

For me, and many others, church has not been this place... but I ask the "church":why is that?

From what I understand, Jesus said that he came so people could have a better life.

I want to experience that kind of life and I want to experience it with friends; new and old.

I am seeking truth, happiness and love and I am inviting you to be part of starting this online community known as The Gathering.

Don't just listen; sign off and change the world.
