"The Lord is Still Expecting Me" - Jonathan Jensen
"When that depression comes, it's like, 'Wow, I really feel like I don't know what I'm doing anymore, and I need to figure it out.' But part of that is learning how to adapt. And for me, part of that adaptation came after many, many experiences of this over the years, ... trying to be in close proximity to people that I know ARE feeling the spirit. It helps, it really helps."
Jonathan talks about how belief can lead to action, and when someone is depressed, believing Christ through past experiences and believing in someone else's belief is a valid way to make it through. He talks about his divorce, and how he tried so hard to pray and qualify for blessings and his marriage still ended, and how a simple question from his seven year old daughter got him back on spiritual track. 2 Nephi 10:20 helps Jonathan ask, "What's next?" and gives him courage to bring others along with him, too.

"Jesus is at the Helm of this Church" - Karin Brown
"I'm not afraid to ask why, because I always get an answer."
Karin talks about how she is not afraid to ask God "why," that serving others and letting others serve her LIGHTS HER UP and builds connection between us, and that flipping to a scripture in Mosiah (24:13-14) showed her that the Lord heard her prayers, and that her covenants with Him are what ultimately saves her.

"I Awoke Unto God" - Melanie Bodily
"I would say that the 'natural man' is the corruption of our appetites."
"Our bodies are a tool, ... there is so much to learn from them and from being in them"
This episode is about healing through Jesus Christ. Melanie bravely opens up about decades of disordered eating, and how her eyes have been opened, like Romans 8:5 says, to focus on the things of the spirit, and put away the things of the flesh.

"And Yet, Here is Home" - Kamden Hainsworth
"Even in my bitterness, God saw my efforts. He saw my faith."
Kamden talks about how, with ADHD, she feels faith through 3 part harmonies. She recalls the miracle of an adoption and a family story she never would have imagined, and the change of heart and transformation she had with siblings leaving their faith.

"God is not a Liar" - Kyle Smith
"I had made a commitment a long time ago that no matter how hard it got, I was not going to give up on God."
Kyle talks about fearing he was going to lose his wife, the backlash and transformation he experienced after joining tik tok as a pro-lds account, and how Phillipeans 4:7 is the reason he stays- because he has received the peace that passes all understanding.
