Steve Scott - Peguis First Nations Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

Of all my family, I must be Steve Scott's biggest fan. Why do I say that? Because I know that my family watches Steve and Chelsea for part of their "Come, Follow me" study each week and none of them caught the times Steve has mentioned his indigenous affiliation except me! Ha! Steve fills my soul every time he shares testimony with me (and the world). Could you imagine the good in the world if we all did that a little more for each other? So. Much. Good. Steve is otherwise your run-of-the-mill great guy that you definitely have something in common with. He's married. He's raising a family. He is trying to teach his children good values. He's a friend. He's trying to be actively engaged in good things. You know, all the things that we try to aspire to in our own run-of-the-mill lives. I'm really glad we could make time for this interview. Enjoy!

Jesse Fox - Blackfoot & Sioux Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

Jesse Fox comes from a large family. The amazing thing is that every child has graduated from college, almost half of them with graduate degrees. Jesse is a chiropractor in the Phoenix area. He never intended on ending up in Arizona, it was not in his plans. But, when the Lord points you in a specific direction, you go. He's learned that about a lot of other aspects of his life as well. I'm grateful for the time Jesse gave to us so we could hear his testimony and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ affects every part of his life.

Jarom Worthen - Navajo Oct 28, 2021

Show notes

This is a selfish episode. My oldest brother, Jarom Worthen, returned to our Heavenly Father on October 26, 2021. This episode is a tribute to that man. I love him dearly and will miss him every day.

Tom Pittman - Tlingit Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

Meet another wonderful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: Tom Pittman. Tom literally brought me to tears as he shared his story about how he came to learn about a true prophet on the earth today, about how he was filled with the Holy Ghost, and about how he gave up so much to join and become a Latter-day Saint. Also, he claims at one point to not have any personality--but that is a complete lie. He had me laughing, crying, and anticipating. Please allow his testimony to bring the Spirit into your day. You'll think he's your friend now too.

Betty LaFontaine - Navajo Oct 12, 2021

Show notes

This beautiful woman, Betty LaFontaine, is the type of woman I truly want to emulate. She has grace, strength, and love. She's been through a lot in her life and has seemed to pick the roses from out of the thorns. Some people have the gift of truly looking into another's heart and knowing them, and I feel like that is one of Betty's gifts. Her testimony of the Book of Mormon, and especially of the Savior Jesus Christ, have given her the firm foundation that is sometimes required to get through hard things. And she also just knows when a smile is all that's needed. I hope as you listen to her recount only a small portion of the journey she's been on that you'll be better able to see the beauty as you walk through your own life.

Chris Nez - Zuni & Navajo Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

I recently received an email from Chris Nez asking if we could schedule a time for an interview. He is a sixth generation member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through one of his Navajo lines. SIXTH! Can you believe that? It's amazing. He didn't come to know that he was a sixth generation just as part of family lore, he had to learn it by family history. Doing family history has lead him to find relatives that have brought his testimony to a strong foundation that Jesus Christ's plan for us on earth is divine and good. Families can be together forever! It's a blessing that he now shares with his own wife and children. I'm so glad to have this testimony added to those shared before to strengthen my testimony.

Meredith Schramm - Omaha Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

What a spunky, heart-full-of-joy person Meredith Schramm is! As we interviewed on the phone, I just wanted to be in the same room as her to see her expressions and her bounce. She has a love of people. She has a love of education. She has a love of so many things. Did you know she and her family also do amazing beadwork? Well, it shouldn't surprise you. The way she recognizes the small and big workings of the Lord in her life is encouraging, plain, and simple. I think we can learn from her that life is a blessing and being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a way to show our Savior that we recognize Him and honor him.

Stephanie Hansen - Navajo Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

It's something I've often wondered about: how will my life turn out? I think Stephanie Hansen asks this about her own life as well. Her life hasn't turned out like she imagined it would. And yet it is such a beautiful experience she's going through. She's single. She lives in a small town on the border of the Navajo Reservation. And she is blessing the lives of so many people--young, old, and in-between. She is a connector. She's passing on the light from her relationship with the Savior to those she interacts with. The name "Stephanie" means "a crown;" see--she's a blessing of glory!

Devin Nez - Navajo Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

This guy is sharp! Or at least, the tools he uses are sharp. He's a barber. So, pull up a chair and have a visit with him. Devin Nez is the oldest of three sons. He has spent time learning and growing on the Navajo Reservation as well as his teen years in Utah County. He served a mission in the Dakotas where he learned from teachers of true charity. You like sports? So does Devin. He's learned life lessons from his interaction with teammates and coaches and from the games he's played. Also--I was impressed that though our first appointment had to be cancelled, he was the one who followed up and reset a time to get together. Yup, he's sharp and I'm glad I could visit with him. I hope you find joy in this conversation.

Joseph Namingha - Zuni & Tewa-Hopi Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

This young recently-returned missionary, Joseph Namingha, is a thinker. He thinks about how we can each receive our own personal revelation. He thinks about how his parents and grandparents have set a good example to him that he wants to emulate. He thinks about how a simple message on social media can influence the people who read it. He thinks about how the scriptures have meaning to us even in our modern day. I'm glad that I can call Joseph my brother in the Gospel. I hope he goes on to do so much good in the world. It's the small things that can make a huge difference.
