This week, we got to sit down with someone we've long admired and are so thrilled to finally have on the podcast—Steven Sharp Nelson, known to millions around the world as “The Cello Guy” from The Piano Guys. He's a creative force and a pioneer in "cello-percussion"—where rhythm, melody, and movement come together in such creative and beautiful ways.If you've ever seen Steve perform, you know the energy he brings to music is unlike anything else—it's vibrant, joyful, and instantly captivating. And we felt all of that in this conversation.But this episode isn't just about music. Today we got to talk with Steve about ADHD—his diagnosis as a child, and the way he's come to understand it not as a disorder, but a spiritual gift that has shaped his creativity, deepened his connection to God, and is helping him live into his divine purpose. Though ADHD began as a source of confusion and shame, he's come to see it as one of the greatest blessings of his life.In this conversation, Steve shares what that transformation has looked like—what it means to live with “attention abundance,” how this overflow of energy, sensitivity, and ideas have become the place where God meets him—again and again. And how, when we offer our weaknesses to God, the burdens begin to lift and the blessings blossom. Steve reminds us that God works with our particular brains, capacities, and quirks, speaking to each of us in the language we understand best. And that sometimes, what we once thought was a weakness might actually be the key to our calling.This episode is full of honesty, humor, and deep spiritual wisdom. We're so excited to share this one with you—here's our conversation with Steven Sharp Nelson.

Jon Schmidt is an American piano composer and member of the musical group The Piano Guys, which has more than 2 billion views on YouTube, and more than 7 million subscribers. In this episode we discuss the following: Jon didn't want to be a musician. But he and his wife adopted the principle of, “Turn your life over to God, and he'll make more out of it than you'd ever be able to.” And it was that decision that guided Jon back to music. When I asked Jon what he'd say to his kids if they didn't believe in God, I loved Jon's response…that he doesn't think God gets uptight about how we think of him. So whether people believe in an embodied God or just a higher power, it's the intention to try to make the most of our lives that matters.

Cuando uno intenta encontrar sentido a su vida, quiere pensar que al final de este viaje, sabremos el por qué y para qué de tantas cosas que han pasado y no entendemos. Quizás no encontremos respuesta a estas preguntas, a este lado de la eternidad, pero cuando se llega a la edad de Samuel Escobar, uno ve la vida con otra perspectiva. José de Segovia quiso tener con él una serie de conversaciones sobre su vida en un momento en que estaba todavía dando clase en la Facultad Protestante de Teología de la Unión Evangélica Bautista de España en Alcobendas (Madrid). Su mente estaba clara y lúcida, pero tenía ya una edad que no le preocupaba lo que otros pudieran pensar de lo que decía. Podía hablar sinceramente de lo que pensaba y había ocurrido. Las conversaciones en el estudio de Dynamis Radio se han intercalado con grabaciones y textos suyos, que siguen diferentes momentos de su vida. Esta vez hemos incluido, sin embargo, unas palabras suyas, grabadas tan sólo hace unos días en Valencia por su hija Lilly, para los oyentes de esta serie, ahora que está a punto de cumplir 90 años, si Dios quiere. La selección musical de este último programa se basa en dos de sus himnos favoritos, "¡Qué grande es Él!" y "Canta, oh buen cristiano", ambos del siglo XIX. El primero (How Great Thou Art) de Carl Gustav Boberg, es de 1884 y está basado en el Salmo 8:4, mientras que el segundo (Work For The Night Is Coming) de Lowell Mason en 1854, tiene una letra diferente en castellano del mexicano Epigmenio Velasco. Las versiones instrumentales del himno de Boberg, que suenan de fondo, son de The Piano Guys, Taryn Harbridge, Smitty Price y Harlan Rogers. La versión cantada es de Elvis Presley en 1967 y la del himno de Mason es del peruano Endo Fuerel del grupo de Lima INKABETHEL. La música instrumental que suena al final del programa. es la "Oración" (Prayer 1975) instrumental del pianista de jazz Keith Jarrett, ya retirado, así como la canción del ahora fallecido contrabajista de jazz, Charlie Haden con su cuarteto del oeste y una orquesta de cámara en 1999, como "Extraño caminante" (Wayfaring Stranger), así como la música "De vuelta a casa" (Goin´Home) que hizo con su Orquesta de Música de Liberación en 2004. Daniel Panduro ha unido la música y la voz de estos programas con la mayor calidad de sonido y cuidado en las mezclas.

 In Part Two of their conversation, Paul Cardall and Peter Breinholt delve into the world of Mormon music and LDS culture. A multi-million dollar industry, Mormon music is relatively unknown. As the Church expanded its membership beyond Utah's borders, so did the audience for recording artists who are members of the LDS Church or create music with Mormon themes. Both Paul and Peter have their roots in Mormonism, which adds depth and insight to this episode, particularly for those unfamiliar with mainstream Mormonism or the LDS Church. ABOUT CO-HOST PETER BREINHOLTWebsite: https://peterbreinholt.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peter.breinholt.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterbreinholt LISTEN TO PETER'S MUSICSPOTIFY https://rb.gy/c6evxAPPLE MUSIC https://rb.gy/5s7g0 ABOUT THE HOST PAUL CARDALLOfficial Website - http://www.paulcardall.comFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/paulcardallmusicYoutube - http://www.youtube.com/cardallInstagram - http://www.instagram.com/paulcardall LISTEN TO PAUL'S MUSICAPPLE MUSIC - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/paul-cardall/4312819SPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7FQRbf8gbKw8KZQZAJWxH2 ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Paul and Peter Breinholt review episode one which included conversations about The Osmond Family, Michael McLean, Kenneth Cope, Julie De Azevedo, Lex De Azevedo, and others.

Growing up under the umbrella of Mormonism, they discuss the differences in how they were raised. Paul comes from an orthodox home in Salt Lake City where his family was active in all the cultural and theological teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). Whereas, Peter grew up outside of Utah and didn't have an active family. He moved to Utah, started a band, and evolved into an active Latter-Day Saint.Peter explains that there are Mormons making Mormon-themed music for Mormons sold at LDS bookstores, and then there are popular bands or singers who happen to be LDS. Paul summarizes how popular LDS-themed music has become; it's a multi-million dollar industry. Peter clarifies that in Utah, where LDS headquarters are, because of the social network that the Church provides, when things catch on, it's like a wildfire. There are mega trends in Mormonism.Paul talks about pioneer immigrants who wrote hymns using the contemporary style of their time. They mention that even though there is a commercial music culture, the church itself is rather strict on what they present in worship services called Sacrament Meetings, and full-time missionaries are allowed to listen to. Electric guitars and drums aren't allowed in services. Missionaries were allowed to listen to the Tabernacle Choir and some piano music, like Paul. Today, missionaries can listen to whatever helps them feel the spirit of God, though leaders are still cautious.As the church evolved in the 80s, there was Michael McLean, a songwriter who produced a series of videos promoting church doctrine. Missionaries would take those to those who saw the ad on TV. They talk about Mormon ad campaigns in the 70s and 80s. The songs in the ads were a huge part in persuading people emotionally and had a significant influence on the direction commercial Mormon music proceeded.Peter and Paul talk about the Osmonds, the most popular LDS musicians in the 20th century. Their fifth studio album that was on the Billboard charts is called “The Plan.” Their concept album was an opportunity for The Osmonds to share Mormon theology. There have been people who have joined the church as a result of their love for Donny Osmond. They skip ahead a few decades to talk about another famous band, The Killers, whose lead singer Brandon Flowers is a devout Mormon.In the late 1970s, early 80s, Afterglow was a blockbuster duo whose songs were rich with harmonies. They were one of the first to have a record deal with the church-owned bookstore, called Deseret Book. Their music was overly religious with strict LDS themes. Deseret Book at the time had hundreds of stores along with hundreds of independent stores by people who sold LDS related products. Record labels began to pop up.Peter brings up Kenneth Cope, whose voice was featured in some of those Mormon ads. Kenneth wrote and recorded some of the most successful commercial Mormon music. All of this is happening while Amy Grant in the Christian market or Gospel Music Association was becoming successful, and her Christian-themed music crossed over into the adult contemporary top 40. Greater Than Us All was Kenneth's successful debut with His Hands and Never A Better Hero. My Servant Joseph was another hit album about with songs about LDS founder Joseph Smith. Kenneth takes his responsibilities in the church seriously and when he was called to be a Bishop, in a church with no paid ministry, we didn't hear much from Kenneth Cope until recently. He'd spent 15 years producing a new musical called "Son of Man."Along with Kenneth, Michael Webb recorded similar LDS themed songs and has since left the church. Paul says one of his favorite songs is a new Christian song by Michael Webb. Peter and Paul explore artists Julie De Azevedo, Felicia Sorensen, and other successful female artists who started to emerge in the 90s. Julie is the daughter of Lex de Azevedo, who was successful at writing LDS musicals like "Saturday's Warrior," and "My Turn on Earth." He started a record label that signed Kenneth Cope, Michael Webb, Julie, and others. Julie became a popular therapist and podcast host helping countless LDS women understand their value. They mention Hillary Weeks and move into a conversation about Jeff Simpson, a former Disney producer. Jeff was ambitious in helping take LDS music forward into a more contemporary and overall style. He had a vision to make LDS music part of the broader Christian market under the Gospel Music Association. But Jeff's label Excel was never successful because of the differences. He was successful at creating a film production and distribution entity with the breakout hit "God's Army" by Richard Dutcher. Excel would later sell to Deseret Book. He also created an award show called "The Pearls" honoring LDS music.Before talking about cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, Peter mentions Nashville Producer Jason Deere who created the Nashville Tribute Band, which was country music with LDS themes. Cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, who is now a member of YouTube sensation The Piano Guys, worked on hundreds of albums by members of the LDS faith. Peter shares how he met Steve and began using him in his band. Later, Paul used Steve to orchestrate his music with another brilliant LDS artist, Marshall McDonald. Both Marshall and Steven worked as a team to help dozens of artists. Paul invited Steve to let him produce "Sacred Cello" for Paul's label Stone Angel Music. Steve didn't believe it would be successful, but the album debuted No. 18 on the Billboard Classical Charts. Steve is an artist who shared the burden with artists that occurs in the studio and on the stage. Paul shares with Peter the countless LDS artists who created LDS-themed albums that debuted on the Billboard charts. Deseret Book began reporting sales to Soundscan."Especially For Youth" is the next topic. The weeklong camp on Brigham Young University's campus and dozen other colleges across the United States gathered LDS Youth from all over. EFY gave these LDS teenagers a 12-song compilation that featured a cassette, CD of LDS artists who wrote songs about the camp theme. Every kid received one. EFY music began in 1986 and continued until 2019 before the LDS Church changed the youth program. In the 80s not only did you have Michael McLean, Kenneth Cope, and Julie De Azevdeo, but over the decades, artists evolved out of these produced EFY albums. Why? They were approved by the church since the program was under BYU, a church-owned private university. Not everyone appreciated the songs, but the production was top quality. However, producers and artists were not given the standard music industry fees. Peter wanted to get involved and was at a point in his career where the LDS church listened to him. He recruited Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson's partner in The Piano Guys, to produce an authentic album of songs. However, they were restricted by several policies. Peter produced one more several years ago with songwriter Russ Dixon from the Utah group Colors. Concerts were also performed, and youth looked forward to it. Overtime EFY did away with the concerts because leaders felt there was too much attention drawn to the artists. There was one theme song that was the EFY “We Are The World” that brought the popular artists who were LDS together called, “Especially For Youth.” Mormons who go to the Temple make covenants that they'll donate all their time and talents to building up the Church. As a result, artists felt an obligation to do things for free or for very little pay. They discuss firesides, which are special events inside a church building. In the beginnings, Churches wanted firesides, but overtime fewer and fewer musicians were invited to perform their music about God. Peter shares his experience being asked to perform for LDS leaders and bring his band, only they wouldn't pay for anything. Peter would have to pay his band out of his pocket.Peter and Paul share their frustration as an artist who doesn't do LDS themed music. Because he lent his voice to a few LDS themed songs, the music platform's algorithm made him an LDS artist and recommends other LDS artists instead of the Americana Folk artists. Paul also shares his frustration that new material still references artists that the metadata feels is comparable to when Paul started in 1995. Paul talks about doing an album with Steele Croswhite, who was not LDS, and slowly the culture started working with people of other Christian denominations.Paul talks about his experience speaking and performing at a Missionary Fall social attended by Apostles Russell M. Nelson and Elder David A. Bednar. A previous 70s prophecy by President Spencer Kimball invited LDS members to create the very finest artist, particularly because he believed they have all the truth. He showed the apostles the classical Billboard charts that had 5 out of 10 people who were LDS. He showed that his prophecy was being fulfilled. Afterward, Elder Bednar invited Paul to write a song with him. Paul worked with Steven Sharp Nelson and Marshall McDonald to produce Paul and David Bednar's office song "One by One." Paul would later present Elder Bednar with a plaque showing he was part of a No. 1 Billboard charting album. Paul would perform this piece with LDS tenor Nathan Pacheco. Paul discusses the positive experience of doing business with Elder Bednar and the corporate church concerning owning the master rights to their song. Paul learned that Apostles do not take a royalty. If so, it goes directly to the church missionary department.Peter talks about Trina Harmon, a Nashville songwriter who isn't LDS, has helped several Mormons evolve as writers and artists. She complimented LDS members but said she's not yet met an LDS artist who is truly aligned with the mission of the Church. The LDS Church demands a lot of service and rules, leaving artists at odds in creating music. Paul agrees and says that anyone, LDS or not, who creates music that points people to Jesus Christ is important. They briefly discuss Paul Simon who is getting older and producing an album about his relationship with God. Maturing popular artists lean into producing faith-based recordings. Artists need to speak to the struggles. Peter talks about his daughter choosing to go on a mission and his concern that it could go one or two ways. Missionaries lean in or when they return, get out of the church.Paul shares Christian artist Andrew Peterson, who like Peter Breinholt, built a community of artists within a cultural context. In Mormon culture, there's a little bit of reluctance towards charismatic musicians. When Peter was connecting with the youth in a fireside, the leader stood up to make sure the audience understood that Peter is not someone who they need to look up to, but to look up to God. Leaders tend to put down artists. A leader cornered Peter to ask him if he's a kingdom builder or a Peter builder. They discuss Mormon theology about being ordained Kings and Queens, so there's a sense of looking down on those who aren't anointed joint heirs with God. Paul shares that he needed to strip away all the idols and ideology that stood in the way of having a full relationship with Christ. Paul believes in the Four Gospels over any new revelation from those who claim to be God's prophets. The Four Gospels are 4 eye witnesses of the Resurrected Lord who disagree on the details, but they all tell the same story. He goes into talking about the Codex Vaticanus and the other codexes that were used by St. Jerome to give the world the Latin Vulgate. Paul gets into why he doesn't believe in a Church that he loves with all his heart. They talk about Joseph Smith's first vision narrative that the Church has been teaching for hundreds of years, that even LDS scholars say that narrative can't be sustained. It's simply not true. Peter says that artists deconstruct. It's why artists write songs, to say something they can't say with words. They compose how they feel.They discuss challenges in Mormon doctrine. Paul talks about one of the Christian churches he attends called Immanuel Nashville with Pastor TJ Tims. Artists analyze everything.Paul and Peter end by setting up part two. ABOUT PETER BREINHOLTPeter Breinholt is well-known performer in the Salt Lake region and became so largely through word-of-mouth. His debut record became the best-selling independently released CD ever in the state of Utah, and was described a decade after it's release as "an underground classic" by Salt Lake Magazine. Peter has performed for countless sold out crowds in every major concert hall in the state, including Kingsbury Hall, Tuacahn and Sundance. Utah Governor Gary Herbert recently honored Peter with the Governor's Mansion Award for Achievement in the Performing Arts for his influence as a songwriter and performing artist.

The inner voice of Love always speaks the liberating truth of God - but our worldly development has programmed us to tune into another voice. We're more familiar with the voice of fear. We're more familiar with our own truth than God's truth. This episode is for you if:  You're more familiar with the voice of fear and shame than you are with the voice of love and truth. You know well the language of condemnation, cutting sarcasm, blame, control, and manipulation - but it sounds weird and very uncomfortable when you hear affirmation, encouragement, or simply a compliment. Most of your conversations are transactional - not transformational, or you don't know the difference between the two.  You learned to talk in the dialect of self-promotion and self-protection - or you prefer not to talk at all because staying disconnected from others doesn't require you to risk connecting with yourself.  Or you prefer to talk a lot because you have enough verbal resources to overwhelm almost anyone, and getting the last word in is the best you can hope for. Join Doug and Janet in a conversation that blends the wisdom of two books - The Inner Voice of Love - A Journey Through Anguish to Freedom by Henri Nouwen, and Living Fearless - Exchanging The Lies of The World For The LIberating Truth of God by Jamie Winship.  Linger in these takeaways -  In God's kingdom, our thoughts and our plans are the only places we find lack. There is no lack in the Kingdom of God. Wrong beliefs render us powerless. God's truth for our lives comes with God's power to live out that truth. The best part about new life may be that we can hear the voice of Love. Sometimes, we need others who can hear Him on our behalf. When I am afraid, transformational relationships offer me an identity beyond the only reality I can see while I'm stuck in survival mode. Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with others.

In this episode, the TWiM Sister (Tiffany Hales & Arriane Smith) step in to discuss this week's Mormon news. Fans of the reality show "Sister Wives" have noticed similarities between a character on the show and a real-life Mormon man involved in a lawsuit over allegations of fraud. A new study has found that younger Latter-day Saints prioritize issues such as climate change and social justice over political affiliation. We'll also explore the success of Crumbl Cookies, a Utah-based cookie franchise. In other news, a Mormon man named David Groesbeck survived a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness, and a man accused of running a Ponzi scheme that targeted members of the Mormon community in Utah has been released on bond. We'll also discuss a legal battle between St. Luke's Hospital and a sheriff who refused to serve Ammon Bundy with legal documents. Lastly, we'll touch on a few more stories, including the passing of Helen Wells, the announcement of a new worldwide testimony meeting for youth, and a collaboration between the Piano Guys and the Tabernacle Choir on a new musical piece.

Episode 225: Wonders and Miracles - Interview Liza Lawrence Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.” Miracles - what are they? I suggest that miracles are things that we don't yet know how to explain. They are events or happenings that go beyond what we can do for ourselves. We often beg for miracles, search for miracles, or manifest miracles by our faith. One thing I found really interesting about Christ's ministry, is that before he did any miracle he said to the person, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” I find that fascinating. According to this, I draw the conclusion that first one must believe before miracles occur. Today I've invited Liza Laurence to the show - she is the host of the Wonders and Miracles podcast, to discuss her thoughts on miracles and some of the incredible ones she has heard, and then I'm going to share clips from 3 past podcasts, where my interviewees share some pretty miraculous experiences. Tune into the audio program to hear it straight from the people who are kind and brave enough to share their personal experiences. Do you believe God can do miracles? Do you believe you can create miracles because you believe strongly in a course of action? That belief in God, in ourselves, in the power of Universal law working for our good, despite our current limited understanding, seems to be crucial in the manifestation of miracles. Today's discussion brings awareness to some unusual, even inexplicable things that create awe and wonder. Magic. Let's welcome Liza Laurence, the host of the Wonders and Miracles podcast. Join us to hear Liza answer questions like: 1. What do you think is the definition of a miracle? 2. How many miracles have you shared with the guests on your podcast? How many episodes do you have up? 3. What are your top 3 miracles you were most awed in hearing? 4. Why do you do an entire podcast about miracles?     To contact Liza or listen to her podcast: wondersandmiraclespodcast@gmail.com, Podcast: Wonders and Miracles - www.wondersandmiracles.com     As I re-listen to past podcasts I notice miracles. Personal miracles that go on in people's lives as they create, as they go through tough times, as they heal. Today I wanted to share a couple clips - In episode 182, my interview with Richard Paul Evans, we talk about just a few of the miraculous events that happened as the book Christmas Box came together, but one of the sections I found most interesting was the way these little orbs of light followed him around as he spoke with people - Tune in for clips from that interview. The first year of the show we did a feature on the search for Annie Schmidt, daughter of Jon Schmidt from the popular group, The Piano Guys. I spoke with 3 people for this 3 part series, on of which was her mother. To say that miracles abounded in this search for her missing daughter is an understatement, but today I share one clip where Annie spoke to her mother after her death. (For the whole incredible story go to http://loveyourstorypodcast.com (loveyourstorypodcast.com) and listen to episodes 73-75. Tune in to hear miracles from this search. In episode 187, Deb Atella shares her own story of a lost loved one coming back to help her when she was hospitalized with a life and death hemorrhage. Tune in to hear her story. I think there are lots of kinds of miracles - Miracles we manifest with our faith, miracles that are just a hug from God - tender mercies, the miracles of angels around us, and serendipity moments. If you want to listen to more miracles, episode 10 of this podcast shared a whole pile of serendipitous and miraculous experiences. Go back and get the goods! When you stop and focus on miracles, you can't help but feel that God and the universe have your back. We begin to realize how little we truly...

Social Media Fasting (0:00:00) Social media can feel suffocating. There's always one more post, tweet, and story that you haven't seen. But it's no longer just a way for teenagers to chat, but instead a key component to how our society transfers information. Despite how necessary it is, it can have serious negative effects on our mental health. Maybe it's time to consider a Social Media detox. Just taking off some time and letting your mental health reset. Here to talk to us today about the benefits of trying a social media fast is licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Joshua Klapow.    Lisa's Christmas Music Sampler: The Piano Guys (0:21:01) The Piano Guys talk with Lisa and Richie about what Christmas will be like for them this year, and they give an exclusive Christmas performance.   Gift Giving for Acquaintances (0:37:55) Christmas is approaching and you're feeling confident about your gift shopping. You have great gifts for your spouse, your kids, and you even found great gifts for your in-laws. It seems like this year is the year you finally stop those Christmas Eve mad dashes to the store. And then you remember—you forgot to get a gift for the Smith's next door. Gift shopping can be hard and it's even more stressful when if for people you don't know super well, like neighbors and co-workers. That's why we invited The Gifty Girl, Stephanie Yrungaray, to talk with us about how we can best shop for this difficult to gift group.    Streaming vs. Theaters (0:52:50) We've been waiting all year for the newest Wonder Woman movie and it's finally here! But while we've been excited to see it, there's still the worry—is it safe to go to the movie theater right now? Lucky for us and other cautious fans, Warner Brothers announced that they were going to release their movies for 2021 in theaters and on HBO Max. And while we're glad that we don't have to pay the ticket prices, I'm a little worried that this might not be as lucky for these movies. Will they be able to make enough money? What will this decision mean for movie theaters? Here to answer all of our questions is movie and TV expert Clarence Moye.    Resilience Tips for Kids (1:08:23) As parents we naturally want to protect our kids from everything. If we can prevent them from feeling pain, why wouldn't we? But as all parents also know, we won't always be able to protect them from the hardships of life. So instead of sheltering, we need to teach our kids how to be resilient for the trials ahead. Our next guest today is Michelle McCollough, speaker and CEO of DreamBoard Media. She will be talking with us about four simple practices that can help teach kids resilience.    Three-Ingredient Cookbook (1:25:19) When life gets busy, especially around the holidays, it's hard to cook complex meals all the time. So, we tell ourselves it's ok, we'll bake frozen pizzas for dinner until things calm down and we have time to cook again. But that time never seems to come. And then we find ourselves never cooking, always eating out and making microwave meals. But that isn't necessarily a healthy lifestyle, and there's nothing better than a homecooked meal. So where can we find recipes that don't require at least 13 hard-to-find ingredients and three hours of prep time? Here with us today is Toby Amidor, nutrition expert, best-selling cookbook author and friend of the show, to share some easy recipes from her new 3-Ingredient Cookbook.

Jon Schmidt began composing his own music in elementary school, and by 1991 he'd released his first studio album.  Over the past 30 years, he and his wife Michelle raised five children and became part of The Piano Guys—four musicians with over 2 billion YouTube views.  While faith has always been a part of the Schmidt's life, it was never tested the way it was when their daughter Annie disappeared in 2016.  This is their story.

Author Michelle Schmidt Shares Her Story About Being "Carried" After Her Daughter's Death

In October 2018, Latter Day Radio had as its guest Michelle Schmidt, mother of several children and the wife of the Piano Guy's pianist, Jon Schmidt. Her husband's career was skyrocketing, life was good–they had missionaries out serving and then tragedy struck. On October 19, 2016, Michelle Schmidt's plane landed in Oregon, where she was meeting her daughter, Annie, for a camping trip. But Annie didn't show up at the airport to pick up her mother as planned. Thus began a season of searching and coming up short, of miracles and frustrations, of love poured out and faith tested, until Annie's body was finally discovered more than three weeks later in the Columbia River Gorge, where she had fallen while hiking. As Annie's mother opens her heart to tell her story, her husband's story (Jon Schmidt of The Piano Guys), and Annie's story, she writes: "It is my hope that my journey of being tutored by God to trust Him more—not only through the loss of Annie but through some of my most vulnerable and personal past experiences—will be the means of bringing strength and hope to anyone suffering at this time.” Her book “Carried” tells of how despite tragedy, trust in the Lord and His Redeeming can heal wounds and remind a family of the eternal blessings that come from letting Christ carry your burden.

LATTER DAY RADIO BOOK REVIEW: The Apocalypse, Zion and Isaiah–3 titles by author Dr. Randall Chase

In 2018, author, publisher and college professor Dr. Randall Chase was a guest on the LDS talk show, Latter Day Radio, hosted by GM Jarrard. A prolific author, Dr. Chase is well known among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for his popular “Making Precious Things Plain: A Book of Mormon Study Guide." In this podcast, Dr. Chase discusses three books in three episodes (that we have combined into one 40-minute podcast). They are “Apocalypse: The Great Day of the Lord for the Righteous,” “Establishing Zion: Preparing the Earth for the Return of Jesus Christ,” and “Making Isaiah Plain: An Old Testament Guide for the Book of Isaiah.” As he explains in our first segment, most people have negative opinions of the word “apocalypse,” but they shouldn't have—if they're righteous, according to Dr. Chase. Just saying the word brings to mind the idea of mass destruction. Many think of a fiery end to life on earth or of zombies shuffling ominously through the streets. Focusing on the negative makes it an unpleasant subject. Contrary to these ideas, this book on the Apocalypse focuses on the great blessings that the righteous will receive when the Lord comes—a great and glorious day with no fear of the destruction that will simultaneously come down upon the heads of the wicked. He continues in the second segment where he describes the concept of Zion; in the third part, he helps us understand the importance of studying Isaiah. Dr. Chase's interview and the review of his books are examples of the discussions we have had with LDS authors since Latter Day Radio went on the air (on KLO 1430am in Salt Lake City) in 2018. Another author we will be featuring in an upcoming episode is Michelle Schmidt, the mother of Annie Schmidt who was killed in a hiking accident in 2016. Michelle's husband is Jon Schmidt, the pianist of the Piano Guys; their search for their daughter, by all accounts, ended in tragedy when Annie's body was found at the bottom of a cliff in Oregon. But, in her book, “Carried,” Michelle describes how the Lord's atonement carried her through that grief and gave her even greater faith in Christ's plan for his children. Another author, Bruce Van Orden, released his book, “We'll Sing and We'll Shout: The Life and Times of W.W. Phelps,” in 2018. His podcast and review of the life of this remarkable early author, printer and figure in the Restoration is also posted here … as another of Latter Day Radio's “Faith-affirming Podcasts.” For details, refer to Latter Day Radio's website at www.latterdayradio.com, or send an e-mail to studio@latterdayradio.com.
