    Your Story Has Power

    In this final episode of This Is the Gospel, KaRyn, Katie, and Erika sit down and listen to their favorite untold stories from the pitch line—submissions from you that didn't make it into an episode for one reason or another, but that we love all the same. These three-minute stories range from wild, epic bear chases to small, quiet moments of revelation. While the voices and narratives may vary, each illustrates how even in a matter of minutes, individual’s stories have the power to bind us all together.

    Bonus: Stories We Love from the 'Latter-day Saint Women' Podcast

    Bonus: Stories We Love from the 'Latter-day Saint Women' Podcast

    In honor of Women’s History month, we wanted to do something new and share one of our favorite podcasts with you. It's called Latter-day Saint Women, and in this episode, the Relief Society General Presidency has an important conversation with a few of their friends: a foster mom who's worried about a little boy she's come to love; a 22-year-old who's angry and confused when she can't serve a mission; and a recent convert whose parents are Mexican immigrants, so she wonders whether she will fit in. Through their discussion we come to see one of the most beautiful parts of Relief Society—we all belong.

    Come to Zion

    Come to Zion

    Stories in this episode: While Rachel’s diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder helps her better understand herself, it doesn’t ease the lifelong fears she’s had of being unable to truly connect with other people. That is, until two sisters in her ward reach out and show Rachel just how much she truly belongs; Medlir grew up seeing Rembrandt Christian paintings during his childhood in communist Albania, and that artwork planted seeds of faith that eventually led him to the restored gospel. When he is later called as president of the first Albanian stake, he strives to understand how to define and create a Zion community.

Listening through again

I was missing the hope that all the stories bring, but I’d finished all the seasons and podcast is finished, so it took a while, then I just decided to listen through them again. I can’t usually re-listen/watch and still enjoy it, but I am LOVING it! I need these stories and I need this support and hope light in my life. If you haven’t listened yet, do it!!

Morning me time

Thanks for creating such a great podcast. I love hearing others stories and testimonies as it builds mine. This weeks episode on the insects struck a real cord with me as you read Moses 6:63 about all creations bearing witness of God.

Moses 6:63 And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me.

This really hit home to me that every single creation of this earth bears witness that there is a supreme creator of this universe and that He is aware of every tiny, tiny detail in our life. Flowers in all their intricate beauty screams to me that God exists, that there is a purpose in this earth and that it wasn’t just an “accident”, explosion or evolution from a plankton!

I’m sure “evolution” happened in that plants and animals were created, building on the last - from the simplest to the most complicated. When we teach kids to read we start with the sounds of a few letters - not an encyclopaedia in Russian! I’m sure it was the same with the creatures on the earth. The creation happened with order and structure. First night and day then water and earth then grass, then herbs, then fruit, then the solar system. Wonder why vegetation before the stars? Then fish and birds. Then animals (needed vegetation first so they could eat) and finally man. All in order, all planned all with purpose and reason. I love this earth we live on. I love finding beauty of the world around me and the tiny details in it all.

Thanks again for highlighting it.
