Faith Through Music and Miracles
from Why We Believe · host Nathan Gwilliam
What happens when an Air Force kid who struggled socially becomes a 15-year missionary with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Michael Young shares his journey from childhood awkwardness through moving every few years to finding his voice on the world's stage. In this episode, Michael reveals the sacred experiences that come with being set apart as a missionary in the choir, performing for millions worldwide, and using music to minister to individuals. He opens up about his challenging mission in Germany, where cultural barriers made sharing the gospel difficult, yet led to a baptism on his final day that changed everything. Michael also shares the heart-wrenching story of his daughter Maggie, born after years of secondary infertility and a miraculous 76-day hospital stay during COVID. Through IVF treatments paid for by a former missionary companion, emergency deliveries, and countless prayers answered, Michael's family experienced firsthand that God's plan isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. His story shows that faith grows through both everyday steadiness and extraordinary miracles.Follow the Why We Believe Show:Website: whywebelieve.comYouTube: youtube.com/@WhyWeBelieveShowInstagram: instagram.com/whywebelievepodcastLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/why-we-believe-showFollow Nathan Gwilliam:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/nathangwilliam/Follow Michael D Young:Twitter/X: x.com/mdybyuFacebook: facebook.com/mdybyuYouTube: youtube.com/@MikeDropMusicWebsite: authormichaelyoung.com/aboutFacebook: facebook.com/authormichaelyoungThe Tabernacle Choir Page: thetabernaclechoir.orgVocal Coach Website: micdropauditions.wordpress.comSheet Music Website: thesongoftherighteous.wordpress.com
