On Latter-day Miracles, host Haley Hatch Freeman interviews author and addiction advocate Kelly Clark, who shares her journey from childhood anxiety, self-harm, and a family faith crisis into decades of alcoholism and drug addiction. After placing children for adoption, losing custody of other children, and becoming homeless, she supported her heroin and meth use through prostitution in Salt Lake City and became trapped in a violent network, including a kidnapping and beating. In a motel bathroom, she felt her deceased father’s presence, who told her she would go home, help others, and write her story, sparking her to pray for the willingness to change. Later, while newly sober in Denver, she prayed for comfort, and sister missionaries arrived moments later, helping her turn to scripture, faith, and 12-step recovery. Kelly describes radical belief in Christ’s Atonement as key to overcoming shame and rebuilding her life and relationships.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith welcome author, speaker, and clinical mental health counseling graduate student Tiffany Fletcher. Tiffany shares how faith practices like hymns, scripture, and focusing on gratitude helped her endure a violent childhood with a mother diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities), including 14 personalities ranging from a three-year-old boy to terrifying encounters with an alter named “Bill.” She teaches about recognizing Satan’s tactics, using prayer, fasting, and faith to push back darkness, and becoming “light keepers” in the latter-days. Tiffany describes a pivotal mission experience that reframed her mother as someone who broke cycles of abuse.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith welcome Haley’s cousin Mindy, a BYU-trained nurse, to share experiences from her early years of motherhood. Mindy recounts receiving a strong impression in the temple to have other children. She felt overwhelming peace and the message “there are no mistakes” just before learning her baby, Tessa, had Down syndrome, and she describes subsequent support from ward members and family, including her mother sensing “grandmothers” present. Mindy shares later incidents where she believes Tessa was protected after being locked in a bathroom with running water, and where her son survived a significant fall from a window with minimal injury. She emphasizes praying always, sharing testimony despite anxiety, and that we are never alone because family members on the other side are invested in our lives.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith interview businessman and author Brandon Kelly, who shares how multiple life-threatening events shaped his faith and purpose. Brandon recounts being nearly killed as a toddler in a car crash, later being hit by dump trucks that derailed an Olympic high-jump trajectory and required him to relearn basic skills, and surviving repeated cancer diagnoses. He explains overcoming depression and homelessness by setting thousands of goals, drawing strength from prayer, his patriarchal blessing, and daily acts of service through scouting. Brandon describes being guided to help others, including saving an injured motorcyclist on I-15 and giving a priesthood blessing to a dying child who later survived. He also tells a story involving meeting the King of Sweden, and discussing the Church with international leaders.

Host Haley Hatch Freeman welcome inspirational speaker Abby Stephens, who shares her connection to the Cokeville Miracle and then recounts a devastating car accident one week before her wedding that left her with a C3–C4 spinal cord injury and a prognosis of complete quadriplegia and ventilator dependence. Abby describes promptings ignored about seat belts, the crash, and a series of “little miracles,” including immediate help from someone with a phone, an EMT bishop guided by the Spirit, her parents arriving at the scene, and priesthood blessings—one from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland—emphasizing “Thy will be done.” After three months in the hospital, Abby regained breathing, feeling, and the ability to walk, later marrying Cole and building a family, while teaching gratitude, positive focus, humor, and avoiding comparison in trials.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith welcome author and speaker Ganel-Lyn Condie to Latter-day Miracles. Ganel-Lyn shares experiences that shaped her faith, including the suicide death of her sister. Her advocacy for mental health conversations within faith communities, and her healing journey through chronic illness (lupus), unemployment, and infertility. She describes being told she had 10 years to live and would never have children, then becoming the mother of two “miracle” children after years of waiting. The conversation explores the difference between joy and happiness, how to “claim” promised blessings while surrendering to God’s timing, and the value of praising God in both hardship and abundance. Using stories from scripture (Joseph, Nephi, and the woman with the issue of blood) and metaphors from her book Sourdough and the Savior, Ganel-Lyn emphasizes that what we feed grows, encourages mindful media consumption, and teaches focusing on offerings rather than outcomes. The episode closes with an invitation to record and share miracles to bring hope amid discouraging headlines, and listeners are invited to submit their own miracle stories.
