36. Finding Power and Peace in His Holy House with Naomi Fujii
Send me a message! Naomi Fujii joins me to share her testimony through the words of Mosiah 2:9, a verse that reminds us to open our hearts and minds to the word of God with humility and faith. She connects this verse to the temple, a place that has brought her strength, peace, and closeness to the Savior. Especially during difficult times. Naomi also shares Alma 26:16, expressing her joy and gratitude for the Savior’s hand in her life. She grew up in a loving home with wonderful parents who taught her about Jesus Christ and His gospel. Soon she will begin her mission in the Spain Madrid North Mission, and her bright spirit, deepened testimony, and love for Jesus Christ will surely bless all she meets.My closing thoughts I share insights from Come, Follow Me about receiving “grace for grace” in Doctrine and Covenants 93, and how Amulek’s story in Alma 10 taught me more about growing step by step through repentance, obedience, and the sacrament."King Benjamin's Sermon as a Type of Temple Endowment" by Andrew Miller https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1003&context=interpreter

35. Standing in Holy Places & Trusting God with Kalani Au
Send me a message! In this episode, Kalani shares how Alma 38:1–5 came to him at a crucial moment in the MTC, giving him an instant testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that Heavenly Father knew, heard, and was guiding him. From his upbringing in Hawaii to serving in the Philippines Bacolod Mission, and now as a husband and father, Kalani reflects on how small choices, steady faith, and the Lord’s quiet guidance have helped him build a family anchored in Jesus Christ.In closing, I talk about how we can stand in holy places, physically and spiritually, by studying the Book of Mormon daily, spending time in the temple, and being a witness of Jesus Christ. I know the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and it will draw you closer to Him and help you feel the power of His Atonement.

34. Part 1- Faith Through the Storm: Trusting the Savior When Life Falls Apart with Terava Casey
Send me a message! Terava is a devoted wife, mother of five, and disciple of Jesus Christ whose testimony has been shaped through deep trials and powerful faith. As she reflects on Ether 2 and 6, she relates to the Jaredites’ storm-filled journey as they were tossed by waves, shut in tight spaces, and utterly dependent on the Lord. In one of her hardest trials, she learned to trust that the very winds and waves meant to toss her were also carrying her closer to Christ and the life He had prepared for her. Raised in Hawai‘i Kai and now living on O‘ahu’s North Shore, Terava’s life is rooted in covenant living, temple service, and a love for her family, students, and the Savior. She’s a beautiful soul with a powerful testimony, and her story is one of hope, resilience, and faith refined through fire.

33. Delivered by the Lord: How Humility and Repentance Bring Miracles with Spencer Crane
Send me a message! Mosiah 29:20 teaches that the Lord is mindful of His people and will deliver them when they turn to Him. Spencer Crane’s story is a powerful example of that promise. Spencer was raised in the Church, but during high school, he drifted away from the gospel. After graduating, he joined the Army, which brought many challenges. During a visit from his family, a priesthood blessing from his dad changed everything and made him want to turn his life around.It wasn’t an instant change, but through small efforts, like reading a few verses of the Book of Mormon each day and praying, Spencer began to rebuild his faith and he came to know Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and true Friend. He’s now preparing to serve a full-time mission. His story shows that even through setbacks and hard times, the Lord can build something beautiful one step, one verse, and one prayer at a time.Closing remarks I talk about how my family and I went to hear Spencer give a talk and how he powerfully bore testimony that The Book of Mormon has the power to change us. Because it leads us to Jesus Christ, who heals, strengthens, and transforms every part of our lives.
