When pillars of certainty crumble, is it possible to rebuild something even stronger in their place?When two trusted ward members announced they were leaving the Church, newly called bishop Scott Brandley was rocked to the core. Overnight, the man called to strengthen spirituality in others found himself wrestling with his own doubts, spiralling into a crisis of faith, and stripping his testimony down to five essential questions around God, Joseph Smith, and The Book of Mormon.In this special milestone episode of Latter-day Lights, the tables turn as beloved host Scott steps into the guest chair. With candor and humility, he shares the origins of how prayer-filled walks, sleepless study sessions, and Heaven-sent impressions rebuilt his faith while igniting two unexpected missions along the way: launching this very podcast, "Latter-Day Lights," and penning his new upcoming book, “Faith to Stay.”From shepherding a ward through turbulent times, to teaming up with co-host and good friend Alisha Coakley to invite growth, instill faith, and inspire others, Scott's journey is proof that God can use cracked foundations to plant pillars of testimony. It reminds us all that even in our most fragile moments, He is plotting our legacy behind the scenes.*** Please SHARE Scott's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/wJUm-dyO7tk-----To WATCH our Marcovia Project episode, visit: https://youtu.be/E1zdsd9vLhMTo DONATE to The Marcovia Project, visit: https://themarcoviaproject.org/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

When a simple curiosity of well-worn scripture leads to a full-fledged passion, can the pages of history strengthen our faith even more?For family man and dedicated Book of Mormon collector, Robert Messick, the answer is a resounding YES! In this fascinating episode of Latter-day Lights, Robert takes us on a journey through centuries of rare and unique Book of Mormon editions—from early RLDS printings and first-edition 1830 copies, to a near-mythical Deseret Alphabet copy with only 500 ever produced. Robert reveals how these volumes aren't just prized collectibles—they're precious links to the faith, sacrifices, and testimonies of the Saints who came before us.Building on his passion for preserving these sacred artifacts, Robert also introduces The Book of Mormon Census Project, an ambitious effort to track and protect these treasured books worldwide.Robert's testimony shines as a gentle reminder that the Book of Mormon remains a living, unifying force—no matter its publication date, material, or design.

How can we have free will if the Scriptures foretell God's plan of salvation? This is a great mystery and something we might struggle to understand. Fr. Mike explains what it means to say God's plan of predestination includes God's permissive will, each person's free will, and human beings' response to the Father's grace. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 599-605. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

From start to finish, salvation belongs to the Lord! In this episode, Pat and Mike talk about the book The Plan of Salvation by B.B. Warfield. You can download a free PDF of The Plan of Salvation here.

When years of crippling addiction tighten its grip, can a sliver of lasting change still exist?For carpenter, devoted husband, and former addict Orlando Mora, the path out of darkness was illuminated not just through sobriety and faith, but by a heaven-sent “gift of dreams.” From his first prayer of desperation to the day he opened the door to two unexpected missionaries, Orlando discovered that God's guidance comes in many forms—sometimes through gentle impressions of the Spirit, and sometimes through vivid dreams that bring clarity, comfort, and renewed purpose.In this uplifting episode of Latter-day Lights, Orlando recounts the power of divine intervention that guided him from a dark “basement” of hopelessness to the bright promise of a new beginning.

THE PLAN OF SALVATION – Part 7 BAPTISM THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH

The Trinity's role in human salvation showcases a perfect divine plan that was established before creation. God the Father, in His infinite wisdom, chose to create beings with free will and provided a way for redemption, knowing humanity would need it. This demonstrates His incredible foresight and unconditional love for His creation. Jesus Christ, God the Son, fulfilled this plan through His death on the cross, experiencing four types of death that mirror our spiritual condition: separation from God, internal brokenness, broken relationships, and living in a fallen world. The Holy Spirit completes this divine work by convicting people of their need for salvation, enabling genuine faith, and sealing believers as God's possession. When someone accepts salvation, they receive immediate spiritual protection and the guarantee of complete future redemption. This salvation, once received, is eternally secure - marked by the Holy Spirit's seal and protected from internal spiritual attack. While believers may still struggle with sin, their eternal destiny remains secure through God's unchanging promise.

When your world crumbles beneath the weight of sudden loss, can a fleeting miracle open your eyes to the closeness of Heaven?For mother, florist, and part-time mortuary hairdresser, Karen Poulsen, the unexpected passing of her beloved son Tanner tore her world apart—leaving a gaping wound that no earthly comfort could seem to fill. But in those darkest hours, she felt him through mundane yet extraordinary moments that could only be reasoned by his presence. Described as "tender mercies," they revealed to her that our loved ones never truly leave us. From a family picture fiasco, to a heartfelt Christmas celebration, Karen's stories affirm that every prayer echoes with God's compassion if we're willing to listen.Holding fast to her son's love for Lego building and his dream of easing others' burdens, Karen launched the “I Love Us Project.” By working with organizations to distribute Lego sets to individuals with intellectual disabilities, she honors Tanner's memory and extends the kind of care and creativity he cherished so deeply.Join us in this moving episode of Latter-day Lights, where Karen's journey illustrates that God's tender mercies—however subtle or surprising—can fill even the deepest void with the promise of eternal love, hope, and purpose.*** Please SHARE Karen's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/6rTP59A87yk-----To DONATE to the "I Love Us Project," visit: https://www.iloveusproject.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

When the Lord calls you to rebuild lives beyond your wildest dreams, will you be brave enough to take the first step?Father and serial entrepreneur Patrick Sedivy recounts how a divine prompting to serve in the Czech Republic propelled him on a decade-long mission to create Cumorah Academy—one of the leading faith-driven leadership institutions in the world. Met initially with failure when an early venture fell flat, Patrick chose to learn from the disappointment rather than abandon his God-given purpose. Even through hardships such as financial setbacks and soul-stretching leaps of faith, he never stopped piecing together the blueprint for the best real-world curriculum a school like his had to offer—one in which spiritual conviction and practical life skills intertwine.Nestled in the Czech countryside, Cumorah Academy today stands as a transformative place of growth for young adults worldwide, in spite of its foundations originating from immense sacrifice. With each unexpected detour—from uprooting his entire family to a foreign land to facing near-insurmountable debt—Patrick found his faith strengthened in the end, guided by the truth that genuine success springs from first seeking the Kingdom of God.Join us as Patrick reveals the twists and trials that brought Cumorah Academy from a fragile dream to a living testament of hope—proving that even the loftiest call to “come and build” can become a bridge to brighter futures.*** Please SHARE Patrick's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/699NeI0H7Yk-----To DONATE to Cumorah Academy, visit: https://www.cumorahacademy.org/To CONTACT Patrick directly, email: patrick.sedivy@cumorahacademy.org-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

When the pillars of faith begin to quake, will you retreat to familiar ground, or brave the tremors to seek answers?Musician and doctoral audiology student, Marlisa Wootton, recalls a pivotal moment in 2020 when she dared to confront the unsettling waves of a faith crisis—an inner storm that questioned the spiritual foundation she once thought unshakable. Taking the risk of willingly diving into controversial thought spirals and studies on Church history, societal issues, and personal identity, she found herself at a crossroads: remain in familiar but secluded territory, or rebuild a testimony strong enough to find the answers to her faith's purpose.Fueled by curiosity, Marlisa chose a path of bold inquiry—discovering that deconstruction can bring about a tender new understanding of Heavenly Father's boundless love. Through heartfelt introspection on everything from LGBTQ matters to the longing for Heavenly Mother, her journey blossomed into an inspired musical calling: rewriting and composing cherished hymns to reflect the beauty of embracing questions without losing faith.Join us as Marlisa reveals how searching for truth in the deepest doubts awakened a richer spiritual resonance and fortified her resolve to remain exactly where God needed her to be. Her story stands as a hopeful testament that every moment of spiritual upheaval can become a sacred invitation to look deeper, love more resolutely, and rediscover the unbreakable promise of the Savior's guiding presence.*** Please SHARE Marlisa's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/QgaBwMc_c0A-----To WATCH "Stand Forever" by Lawrence Corbridge, visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSEsLtwKzvwTo CONTACT Marlisa, email: wootton.marlisa@gmail.comTo READ Marlisa's book "Praises: A Collection of Hymns and Poems," visit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQY45SSBTo LISTEN to Marlisa's instrumental version of "I'll Stay Where You Want Me To Stay," visit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hwty-MVfFsOwrfJKHRx-m_QlAX19z4nM/view?usp=sharing-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

When the harrowing force of darkness takes over your very being, would you heed its warning and fortify your faith?From what first appeared as an ominous warning sign on her patriarchal blessing, devoted stay-at-home mom, Meghan Blanc, recalls her bone-chilling encounter with a demonic spirit that took over her body in a state of oppression—a life-changing event she describes as an urgent wake-up call to strengthen her spiritual shield.Initially dismissing it as a sudden episode of physical illness, she soon realized there was nothing coincidental about the invasion, making the connection to the once-overlooked reading. But instead of giving in to fear, Meghan shares how this dramatic clash with evil ultimately ignited a more powerful conviction to serve, uplift, and protect her family—both biological, and those soon-to-be welcomed through foster care adoption.Meghan's testimony stands as a vivid reminder that when Heavenly Father allows us a glimpse into the realm of the adversary, it's an invitation to draw even closer to the Savior. Join us as we uncover how Meghan's encounter with Satan's attacks became a pivotal catalyst for her unwavering discipleship, renewed purpose, and an unshakable promise that the Lord's hand is ever-present—even in life's most frightening trials.*** Please SHARE Meghan's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/iucYxJuFXO8 -----To LEARN more about the gift of discernment, visit: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/video/2015-05-2003-elder-and-sister-bednar-gift-of-discernment?lang=eng -----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

If you witnessed an unmistakable sign from Heaven, would you share its meaning with the world?During two consecutive late-summer nights in 2019, Ilyan Lavanway—a former Air Force veteran, author, and dedicated family man—encountered ancient symbols appearing in the sky; an awe-inspiring sight that would forever impact his perception of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. With a background marked by service and sacrifice, he knew he couldn't simply let go of the unique characters beaming through the clouds. Describing the glyphs as "carved by the finger of God," he sensed an urgent call to spread the word.Refusing to dismiss this phenomenon as chance, Ilyan turned his curiosity into a quest for deeper faith. He studied the ancient letters, sketched them in detail, and soon felt prompted to publish his findings. Now, he's committed to living what he calls a “temple-going lifestyle,” sharing how these divine signs and personal revelations fuel his testimony of Christ's imminent return.Ilyan's story is a remarkable journey of faith and revelation.

When our story veers off-script, how do we find a faith-filled purpose that transcends our expectations?Born with half a heart, 20-year-old musician Elder Logan Castleton entered his mission knowing his path would look different than most. Having undergone countless heart surgeries and struggles throughout his life, he was thrilled to be called as a proselyting missionary in Chicago.  However, when his health took a turn, he found himself unable to continue in that role and was unsure about his future as a missionary. But rather than surrendering to discouragement, he focused on his faith, transforming his health challenges into a unique opportunity to share the Gospel through rap music.Now known as “The Rapping Missionary,” Elder Castleton intertwines his passion for music with his steadfast testimony, using the power of inspired melodies and honest storytelling to uplift others, testify of Christ's love, and show the world that even the most fragile heart can become an instrument of divine purpose.Elder Castleton's authentic reflections illuminate the truth that, even when your mission doesn't follow the script you'd planned, there's still purpose, growth, and genuine hope to turn things around for the better. His journey proves that God's love shows up in unexpected ways—and that the covenant path is always worth walking, no matter how unfamiliar the scenery.*** Please SHARE Elder Castleton's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH to this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/5SrLlLXPFAg-----To LISTEN to Elder Castleton's latest song "Light The World", visit: https://open.spotify.com/track/5osZ7DO4FUiZdioQA0zfb2?si=dbc232fb75b04ea8To LISTEN to Elder Castleton's first song "Notice", visit: https://open.spotify.com/track/3UlLwxxx5t5P8iMEVxbcB8?si=b94cb70af2b04785To LISTEN to the rest of Elder Castleton's discography. visit: https://rappingmissionary.org/listenTo WATCH Elder Castleton's videos, visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNg88wB7c4iGnH3jZvWATlgTo FOLLOW Elder Castleton on Instagram, visit: https://www.instagram.com/rappingmissionaryTo FOLLOW Elder Castleton on TikTok, visit: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCNg88wB7c4iGnH3jZvWATlg To FOLLOW Elder Castleton on Facebook, visit: https://www.facebook.com/rappingmissionary/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." Romans 8:28-30

Journey Of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom What caused Lucifer to fall? What turned him? How did the War In Heaven begin? Greg suggests that Lucifer's motivation for the war was initiated by his untethered empathy and malevolent compassion for those who would lose from judgment. The Plan of Salvation produced a disparity of outcomes for the Children of God and Lucifer did not accept this "unfair" element. Matching current trends and ideologies to what we know about the War in Heaven may give us clues to confirm this assumption. Reading Moses chapter 4, we can see why Lucifer did not want judgment. He did not want disparity in outcomes for everyone and, therefore, had to remove agency. Website - www.cwicmedia.com
