Gary Miller wasn't searching for a new religion. He loved serving as a Baptist pastor and felt learning about different religions strengthened his preaching. But when he stumbled across an audio recording of the Book of Mormon while looking for something to listen to on a drive, curiosity led him to press play. On this week's episode, Gary shares how that unexpected decision set him on a six-year journey that ultimately led him from the Baptist pulpit to serving on a stake high council in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Some treat Nursery leader as a calling that doesn't matter or one to be avoided but Angie Robertshaw is not one of those people. Instead, she calls serving in nursery "her thing" and takes the responsibility to teach the Lord's little ones very seriously. On this week's episode, Angie shares why she believes our service in the Church regardless of calling matters.

"Wherever the children are, it's a sacred space."

Raised in the canyons as the son of a science professor, Phil Millett developed a deep love for the natural world at an early age. While other kids spent their time on ball fields and in gyms, Phil wandered mountains and streams, searching for understanding in the world around him. Over time, those experiences led him not away from faith, but toward it. On this week's episode, Phil shares how nature has helped him recognize evidence of a divine Creator—and the spiritual lessons he's learned from a lifetime of exploring God's creations.
