  • Book of Mormon Discoveries near Nauvoo Illinois w/ John & Myron Brandley (Faith to Stay Part 4 of 5) - Latter-Day Lights
    Jun 22 2025

    When you discover ancient artifacts and petroglyphs near Nauvoo Illinois that support the Book of Mormon, do you keep it to yourself or share it?

    Episode 4 of our 5-part miniseries “Faith to Stay” unearths several ancient artifacts & petroglyphs—a vivid chapter in Latter-Day Lights host & founder Scott Brandley’s new book on standing firm through spiritual storms.

    This week, the Brandley family—Scott, and his uncles, John & Myron—retrace their 2019 trip to Illinois by showcasing their historical collections of axe heads, arrowheads, and more. From a Hopewell artifact auction to incredible discoveries found at hidden hilltop forts, listen in on how this family road-trip unearthed physical and spiritual discoveries that strengthened their testimonies.

    Between best friend banter and “aha” moments, they reveal how these physical signs of The Book of Mormon can anchor belief in solid ground, showing that faith can be as tangible as the relics themselves.

    *** Please SHARE John & Myron's stories and help us spread hope and light to others. ***

  • Repentance & Forgiveness with Dave Higham & Kellen Winslow (Faith to Stay Part 3 of 5) - Latter-Day Lights
    Jun 15 2025

    When guilt feels heavier than hope, can forgiveness still rewrite our story?

    Episode 3 of our 5-part miniseries "Faith to Stay" tackles “Repentance & Forgiveness”—a burning topic in Latter-Day Lights host & founder Scott Brandley’s new book about navigating life’s fiercest spiritual storms. How are repentance and forgiveness interconnected, and how do we walk through them to achieve lasting peace?

    This Sunday, we welcome back prison therapist Kellen Winslow and former excommunicated bishop Dave Higham. With the overarching testimony that “repentance isn’t punishment; rather, it’s relief,” they compare courtroom justice to eternal mercy, swap stories of self-forgiveness, and reveal how seeing people in the same way God sees them can turn even the most "unforgivable" actions into miracles of compassion.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re too far gone—or have struggled to forgive someone who seems beyond reach—tune in as we navigate these two sides of the same coin, and discover why every new day is an invitation to begin again.

  • Primary vs. Secondary Questions with Jerry Paskett & and Fred Dodini (Faith to Stay Part 2 of 5) - Latter-Day Lights
    Jun 8 2025

    How do you keep your faith when questions feel louder than answers?

    This Sunday, episode 2 of our 5-part “Faith to Stay” miniseries dives into the idea of “Primary vs. Secondary Questions”—a core principle from Latter-Day Lights host and founder Scott Brandley’s new book on weathering spiritual storms.

    Joined by returning guests—near-death survivor, Jerry Paskett, and Catholic-turned-Latter-day Saint, Dr. Fred Dodini—Scott and Alisha unpack Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge’s landmark talk “Stand Forever.” Together, they explore which questions actually anchor belief, why some doubts derail discipleship, and how personal revelation outshines internet rabbit holes. Their candid stories—from bedside miracles to late-night theological wrestling—show how holding onto just one rock-solid truth can steady an entire life.

    If competing voices have ever made you wonder whether the Gospel holds up, this conversation will help you tune out the noise and lean into the answers that matter most.
