Knowing Joseph Smith Is True: The Baptismal Story Of Michaela Wyatts

" | just needed to know if the Church was true. I needed to know if Joseph Smith was a true and living prophet. I told Heavenly Father I was willing to give up everything-even the life I thought I wanted-if He would just help me know the truth." - Michaela WyattWelcome back to The Convert Devotionals. Today's episode is a powerful reminder that Heavenly Father knows each of us personally-and that He honors sincere questions when they are asked with a willing heart.In this episode, I'm joined by Michaela Wyatt, co-host of the @angelsamonguspodcast Angels Among Us podcast. Michaela opens up about her very real struggle with Joseph Smith and the truthfulness of the restored Church.She shares how doubt, prayer, and complete surrender led her to seek personal revelation-and how God answered her prayers in a deeply personal way.That journey ultimately led Michaela to make the sacred decision to be baptized, choosing to follow Jesus Christ even when the path forward felt uncertain. Her story is a testimony of what can happen when we are willing to seek truth at any cost and trust God enough to act on the answers we receive.We also talk about trusting God through trials, including infertility, the waiting that stretches faith, and the miracle of adoption. Michaela's experience is a witness that testimonies are often built not in certainty, but in faith, courage, and obedience.
