189. The Rapping Missionary - A Conversation with Logan Castleton

What an incredible conversation I had with Logan Castleton, the Rapping Missionary, for Episode 189! As someone who has faced significant health challenges from birth, Logan's story of resilience, faith, and using his unique talents to further God's work is truly inspiring. Logan shared how he was born with a rare heart condition and has undergone numerous surgeries, yet he never let that stop him from pursuing his passion for music. When he felt impressed to serve a service mission, Logan didn't let the stigma or misconceptions about service missions hold him back. Instead, he boldly followed the inspiration he received to use his gift of music, including rapping, to uplift and minister to others. Logan's insights on adapting to challenges, finding purpose in adversity, and trusting in God's guidance are so valuable for any missionary, whether serving a proselyting or service mission. I'm deeply grateful Logan was willing to vulnerably share his story and the lessons he's learned. I know his example will encourage and uplift so many in the LDS mission community. Elder Logan Castleton is a service missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He began as a proselyting missionary before transferring to a service mission. Between writing rap as the Rapping Missionary and creating piano arrangements, he finds joy in serving others. He will complete his mission this summer.
