The Thy Neighbor Podcast

Tiffany Oldham and I knew each other while attending high school many moons ago. Though I haven't seen Tiffany since high school I have been watching her journey since she lost her oldest child, George in an accident in March of 2021. He passed away at 12 years old. Since that time Tiffany has shown up on social media to share her experience through grief and joy since that fateful day. Her posts have blessed my life and I am beyond honored to have her on the podcast to share her experience and story.  Show Notes:  A Hug from Heaven The Miracle by Shawna Edwards  https://walkermemorials.com/obituary/george-oldham/

When I think about recent developments in the Lord's kingdom, it seems obvious that God is taking us on a soul-stirring journey with hills and vales and vistas so stunning we can scarcely imagine them until we climb a little higher and there they are before us."   ELDER MARION G. ROMNEY: General Conference, October 1941, Conference Report, pg 89 "The experience of each individual who is really born again is similar to this experience of Alma and the sons of Mosiah, although it may not be so dramatic. The effect upon each person's life is likewise similar. No person whose soul is illuminated by the burning Spirit of God can in this world of sin and dense darkness remain passive. He is driven by an irresistible urge to fit himself to be an active agent of God in furthering righteousness and in freeing the lives and minds of men from the bondage of sin. God help all honest men to be born again and come to be of sound understanding and to know the word of God and maintain the spirit thereof by study, fasting, prayer, and work, that we may be blessed with His power and authority."  SPENCER W. KIMBALL: Faith Precedes the Miracle, pg. 98 “Being human, we would expel from our lives physical pain and mental anguish and assure ourselves of continual ease and comfort, but if we were to close the doors upon sorrow and distress, we might be excluding our greatest friends and benefactors. Suffering can make saints of people as they learn patience, long-suffering, and self-mastery” [Faith Precedes the Miracle (1972), 98].
