True Conversion: Kyler's Story

He thought he’d blown up every chance at a mission, football, and a future. Instead, one relentless friend, one unexpected bishop, and one line from Isaiah 6 changed everything.Kyler Hamilton shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of how a year and a half of bad choices, shame, and rejection turned into an unmistakable comeback - one that led him from Provo to Dixie State, from near-total spiritual drift to a life-changing mission call, and eventually to BYU.Host Brennon Schweikart pulls back the curtain on the moments that mattered most: the conversation with Kyler’s mom that cracked him open, the bishop’s invitation to read 10 verses a day from the Book of Mormon, the football teammate who refused to take no for an answer, and the interview with a church office leader who had already read Kyler’s letter. Along the way, Kyler opens up about conversion as an ongoing process, the power of repentance, and why his story is proof that God can keep moving you forward even when you cannot see the path.You’ll discover:Why Kyler says his conversion started in the middle of his worst decisionsHow his mother’s response changed the entire direction of his lifeThe Book of Mormon promise that felt almost impossible at the timeWhy Isaiah 6 became the verse that made his mission make senseHow a denied mission call eventually became a setup for something biggerKyler also shares why he created his podcast, We Talk Of - a show built to help parents, leaders, and friends have the hard conversations that point people back to the Savior.
