253. Every Day is a Good Day

In Episode 253: Every Day Is a Good Day, I share a message that came from a recent sacrament meeting talk and how it applies directly to missionaries, returned missionaries, and anyone navigating waiting periods, hard seasons, or emotional challenges. Whether you're in mission prep, waiting on a visa, struggling to find your place, or just feeling like life isn't going the way you expected, this episode is a reminder that both the best days and the worst days are part of God's plan for growth. I talk about the reality that life often feels like "the wind did never cease to blow," but that those winds are always moving us toward something greater. We dive into what it really means to "let God prevail," and how that doesn't mean everything works out the way we think it should—it means trusting that God's plan works even in disappointment, uncertainty, and discomfort. I share personal experiences, gospel insights, and powerful reminders that joy is not the absence of hard days, but the presence of Jesus Christ in all of them. This episode will help you reframe your challenges, understand the purpose behind both best days and worst days, and strengthen your trust in Heavenly Parents and the Savior. Most importantly, in Episode 253: Every Day Is a Good Day, I want you to walk away knowing that you are a child of God on your best days and your worst days—and that every day can be a good day because of Jesus Christ. Even when things don't feel good, His Atonement sanctifies every experience for your growth, your healing, and your good. This episode is a powerful reminder to trust the process, lean not on your own understanding, and remember that the real miracle is that we get to partner with Him in this journey. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.   00:00 Intro 02:45 Why This Message Applies to Missionaries & Waiting Seasons 05:35 "Every Day Is a Good Day" – The Core Message 08:55 Best Days vs Worst Days (Emily Belle Freeman Insight) 11:20 The Brother of Jared Story – When the Wind Never Ceases 14:10 Why Hard Days Still Move You Forward 16:45 What "Let God Prevail" Really Means 20:05 Trusting God When Life Doesn't Go As Planned 23:10 You Are a Child of God on Your Best & Worst Days 25:20 Joy Is Not the Absence of Hard Days 27:10 The Real Miracle of Jesus Christ 28:50 Final Thoughts & Takeaways   Website | Instagram | Facebook   5 Ways to Process Any Less-Than Happy Mission Memories Article: HERE   Get the Full Show Notes and Text/PDF Transcripts: HERE   Free PDF Download:  Podcast Roadmap   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here
