After His Daughter's Liver Failed, a Blessing Brought Her Home for Christmas with Dr. Steven Neal

from Why We Believe · host Nathan Gwilliam

Two years ago multiple myeloma threatened to end his life's work before completion. Sculpting to music, a song came on with the lyrics have a little faith. The Lord said you're not done yet. After one month of treatment, his cancer markers dropped from one in a thousand to one in one. He's been in remission for over eight hundred days, racing to finish sixty Book of Mormon sculptures by 2028. In this episode of the Why We Believe show with host Nathan Gwilliam, Dr. Steven Neal shares how a temple vision thirty years ago changed everything for him. Alone in the Portland Temple, he saw a bird's eye view of a sculpted park with an eighteen-foot Christ at the center. The Spirit told him this explained his patriarchal blessing he never understood. You shall hold a light where it may be seen from afar. That light is the Savior, not him.Loved this episode?
