He also shares memorable insights like “the miracle is in the mess” (a phrase coined by Karen Broadhead of Mothers Who Know), and why God often uses our most chaotic, humiliating experiences as the raw material for miracles.🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:Why God’s work cannot be frustrated—even by your worst mistakesHow to see yourself as a tool in God’s hands, even when life is messyThe difference between fearing man and trusting GodHow stories like Joseph Smith, Alma the Younger, and early Saints reveal God’s pattern with “professional sinners”Why your weakness, failure, or ruined plans may be part of a divine setupHow to push back against isolation and “I’m the only broken one” thinkingPractical ways to keep moving toward your mission and calling while everything around you feels chaoticIf you’ve ever wondered, “Am I too broken for God to use me?” this conversation is a reminder that you are not disqualified. In fact, your “mess” may be exactly what qualifies you to serve, understand, and rescue others.🎧 Perfect for:LDS listeners, gospel teachers, therapists, missionaries, recovery warriors, and anyone who loves deep, doctrinal, psychology-rich conversations about the Atonement, agency, and personal growth.
