Justin Barton interviews recently returned missionary Lauren Zobell of Mesa, Arizona, who served an English-speaking mission in the Texas Houston Mission from September 23, 2024 to March 10, 2026. Lauren shares how struggles with self-image, anxiety, loneliness, and a painful breakup led her to take “simple” spiritual habits seriously, gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon (especially Alma the Younger), and accept repeated promptings to serve after encouragement from her bishop. She describes lessons from President and Sister McMullen about relying on the Savior’s Atonement, learning to love others through rejection, and strengthening ward members when teaching was slow. Lauren recounts trusting God’s timing in transfers, the challenge of maintaining missionary habits after returning home, the power of temple service, deepened testimony of Joseph Smith and the Restoration, and a conversion story of Don and Joe culminating in their sealing shortly before Don’s death. 00:00 Podcast Welcome00:30 Meet Lauren Zobell01:48 Mission Call Details02:26 Choosing To Serve04:44 Book Of Mormon Spark06:26 Breakup To Belief09:12 Prompting To Go10:42 Leaders Who Lifted12:40 Mission President Theme15:03 Hanging By A Thread17:24 Power Of Prayer19:50 Gods Better Solutions21:54 God’s Timing Revealed23:29 Coming Home Is Hard25:32 Building New Routines26:32 Temple Work Power28:03 Restoration Testimony Grows30:11 Messy Resume and Anxiety32:50 Grace Through Rejection36:57 Don and Joe Conversion41:38 Who God Made Me43:13 Can You Feel Now46:35 Gospel Testimony Closing

Host Justin Barton interviews returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sam Niles about his mission journey and faith. Sam was assigned to the West Virginia Charleston Mission (June 2023), but an illness in February 2024 led to a service mission after he was diagnosed with cancer, had surgery, and underwent nine weeks of chemotherapy (April–June 2024) followed by recovery. Feeling physically better, he returned to West Virginia, but a remission checkup triggered a trauma response and his mission president advised him to finish as a service missionary; he completed his mission in June 2025. Sam describes moments of peace through prayer, a powerful experience of feeling a divine presence in an ER, meaningful service in the temple and community, lessons about loving others, journaling, overcoming perceived stigma, and centering multiple identities around Jesus Christ. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:23 Sam’s Background and Hobbies01:52 Mission Call and Timeline03:20 Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment06:21 Chemo Struggles and Service Work08:48 Temple Service and New Perspective13:20 Returning to West Virginia and Trauma15:38 Atonement and the Empty Chair Moment20:10 Identity After Cancer and Mission Stigma25:45 Learning Prayer and Purifying Motives32:57 Journaling and Loving Leadership37:16 Why Justin Started the Podcast40:54 Final Reflections and Alma 5 Questions48:42 Testimony and Closing

Croft shares his initial peace upon receiving his Chile call, then his struggle, prayer, and fasting as he accepted staying home to serve, drawing on Elder Bednar’s teaching about being called to serve and assigned to a place. He discusses guilt about leaving a trainee, lessons from President Roseland on intentional obedience and serving Christ, differences in accountability as a service missionary, why service missions are equal, and his testimony of scripture study, revelation, Christ’s love, and a change of heart tied to Alma 5:26. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:28 Croft Background and Mission Overview01:14 Hobbies and Interests02:00 Mission Timeline and Dates03:02 Opening the Chile Call04:52 Injury and Coming Home06:54 Calling Versus Assignment08:50 Wrestling With Doubt12:46 Staying Connected With Trainee13:55 Lessons From Chile President18:30 Service Mission Differences22:40 Why Choose Service Mission25:05 Mission Call to Action30:16 How the Mission Changed Him34:35 Primary Answers Revisited39:42 Christ Love on His Heart42:19 Alma 5 Can You Feel45:21 Time Machine Self Coaching48:11 Final Testimony and Closing

Justin Barton interviews recently returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sarah Kropf about serving in the Indonesia, Jakarta Mission from August 2024 to February 2026, teaching primarily in Bahasa. Sarah shares misreading her call as “Indianapolis,” then learning about Indonesia’s many languages and cultures. She describes early loneliness on Bali with only one native companion and how praying for strength to do “one more day,” focusing on small acts of gratitude, and journaling helped her endure. She discusses developing deeper trust in the Lord, relying on prayer throughout daily interactions, and using charity (Moroni 7) to overcome fear and serve others, including companions. Sarah reflects on learning to live with less, teaching Muslims and Hindus about Christ as Savior, assuming love to avoid offense, and feeling hope that “the best is yet to come,” which she plans to carry into life and a possible future in labor and delivery medicine. 00:00 Welcome And Introductions00:34 Meet Sarah Kropf01:19 Mission Call To Jakarta02:44 Language And Culture03:32 Deciding To Serve04:40 Early Struggles In Bali05:56 One More Day Mindset07:38 Gratitude As A Tool09:49 Trusting The Lord12:42 Finding Joy In Third Area14:06 Scripture Focus On Charity16:23 Assume Love Theme18:05 Choosing Not Offense20:29 Life With Less21:45 Grocery Store Shock22:43 Remembering What Matters24:19 Faith Across Religions26:24 Christ As The Constant29:01 Prayer In Real Time32:13 Cultures And Companions33:41 Calling And Core Values36:34 Change Of Heart39:26 Song Of Redeeming Love40:17 Advice To Future Self41:54 Bahasa Testimony And Farewell

Host Justin Barton interviews returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Spencer Sant from Spokane, Washington, about serving in Madagascar from March 2024 to February 2026, including the mission’s split into North and South and the resulting shortage and rapid influx of missionaries that forced accelerated training. Spencer shares how the Lord provided during difficult leadership and language situations early in his mission, and he emphasizes obedience as essential for having the Spirit and converting others, with logic and the Spirit working together in teaching. He discusses key scriptures (2 Nephi 28:30 and Alma 32), rejecting a “checklist” gospel in favor of continual faith and action, and describes trials with a difficult companion that taught boundaries and Christlike love. Spencer explains how praying in Malagasy deepened his relationship with Heavenly Father, how personal study strengthened his testimony of repentance and the Atonement, how he receives revelation as simple “bings,” and how his mission shaped his goals, especially temple marriage, ending with a Malagasy testimony. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction00:18 Meet Spencer Sand01:31 Called to Madagascar02:21 New Mission Growing Pains04:28 When the Lord Provides07:17 Obedience Brings the Spirit11:24 Logic and the Holy Ghost12:40 Line Upon Line Faith21:00 No Coasting After Missions22:35 Hard Companions and Boundaries26:27 Praying to Oh Father28:21 Repentance as a Gift32:51 Future Plans and the Temple35:19 Revelation and Bing Moments38:17 Can You Feel So Now Questions43:40 Testimony in Malagasy Closing

Host Justin Barton interviews Mallory Lybbert about her service in the Washington Spokane Mission in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (set apart June 16, 2024; home Nov. 25, 2025) and the mission emphasis on the Doctrine of Christ—faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end—along with “press forward with steadfastness in Christ.” Mallory describes initially not wanting to serve, feeling prompted to go, and being grateful for a stateside call. She shares how faith became recognizing everyday actions as faith, how prayer deepened through listening for revelation and acting on first promptings (including a lawn-mowing contact who was later baptized), and how enduring became “enjoying to the end” and giving “justice to where you are.” She discusses repentance as ongoing change, lessons on exact obedience (including Mosiah 3:1–4), facing grandparents’ deaths near the end of her mission, and bearing testimony of the Restoration, Joseph Smith, and Jesus Christ. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:23 Mallory Background and Mission Dates01:12 Mission Theme Doctrine of Christ02:33 Faith Before and After Mission04:01 Deciding to Serve05:44 Opening the Spokane Call06:29 Patriarchal Blessing Fulfilled08:59 Culture Shock and Early Trials10:28 Trainer Lessons for New Missionaries12:29 Prayer and Hearing Answers14:58 Promptings Lead to Baptism17:00 Enduring and Enjoying to the End20:06 Repentance as Daily Change22:31 Hard Moments and Wanting Home23:25 Grief Near Mission End25:03 Blessing and New Perspective26:30 Feeling Christ Through Companionship27:48 Learning Exact Obedience29:25 Obedience After Coming Home31:28 Mission Prep Regrets32:19 Preach My Gospel Breakthrough33:32 Why Doctrine of Christ Matters34:46 Knowing God Loves You35:56 Obedience Turning Point Story40:51 Can You Feel Questions43:12 Coaching Your Future Self45:45 Testimony and Closing

Quinlin describes learning Slovene in the MTC, serving his first year in Slovenia (including a branch he attended as a child), then transferring to Zagreb, Croatia, to finish his mission while learning Croatian. He shares emotional struggles with comparison and feelings of failure, and how returning to personal prayer, journaling, and keeping “a song in your heart” (especially “Come, Come Ye Saints”) helped him rely on the Lord.

Justin Barton interviews newly returned missionary Michael Hazel on the Can You Feel So Now podcast. Michael shares his background and explains that he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Alabama, Birmingham Mission from June 2023 to June 2025, assigned Spanish-speaking for two transfers before serving mostly in English while still using Spanish. He describes being inactive from about age 13 to 25 due to painful experiences and feeling that the Atonement didn’t apply to him, then beginning a spiritual turnaround in 2019 when someone read the Book of Mormon with him daily for 90 days. He discusses the difference between being “lukewarm” versus fully detached, how many small spiritual experiences helped him understand grace and the Atonement as constant help, and why faith and accepting God are choices rooted in agency. Michael emphasizes charity—choosing to love people who are rude, lost, or even threatening—and explains forgiving a bishop he once hated by choosing forgiveness and later feeling peace even when seeing him at the temple. He outlines how consistency comes through daily Book of Mormon study, meaningful prayer as a real conversation with Heavenly Father, and conscientiously partaking of the sacrament, and he shares views on recognizing revelation in everyday ways and repenting as simply turning toward Christ. He recounts being prompted to serve a mission later in life after a branch conference message from his stake president about covenants and bears testimony that following Jesus Christ is always the right decision. Using Alma 5:26, he describes a change of heart as visible in a person’s countenance, defines the “song of redeeming love” as a state of being, and advises his future self to remember the Lord’s tender mercies. He closes with a testimony of Jesus Christ, the reality of spiritual witness, the importance of temple worship and consecrating one’s will to God, and the joy found in the work of salvation and exaltation. 00:00 Welcome + Meet Michael Hazel (Background & Family)01:22 Mission Call: Alabama Birmingham & Spanish-to-English Switch03:18 Why He Left the Church (13–25) and What Brought Him Back05:19 Lukewarm vs Detached: The Misery of Life Without God07:05 Reading the Book of Mormon Daily: Rebuilding a Testimony09:05 Atonement Reframed: “Wind at Your Back” + Still Small Voice11:30 Sobriety, Agency, and Choosing Faith Over Nihilism14:47 Charity on the Mission: Loving the “Lost” and Difficult People19:21 Forgiveness as a Choice: Healing from a Hurtful Leader22:56 No Gray Area: Doctrine Changes Behavior + Staying Consistent27:15 3 Daily Anchors for Spiritual Consistency (Scriptures, Prayer, Sacrament)29:01 Your Environment Shapes Your Spirit: Who You Spend Time With30:42 Hearing God’s Voice: Recognizing Revelation in Small & Simple Ways34:57 When You Can’t Feel the Spirit: Repentance as a Simple Turn to Christ37:52 Why Serving a Mission Is Always the Right Choice (And a Life-Changing Story)45:50 Alma 5: “Can You Feel So Now?” Change of Heart & Redeeming Love48:33 15 Years Later: Remembering Tender Mercies When You Feel Off Track49:44 Final Testimony: Choosing Christ, Daily Consecration, and True Joy

Justin Barton interviews Emma Pratt, who grew up in Idaho in a large farming family and learned hard work and endurance from long nights driving tractors. She explains how those lessons carried into her mission, especially during a six-week transfer with no people to teach, where she learned to rely on Jesus Christ and see those she spoke with as God’s children. Emma served in the Alabama Birmingham Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from December 2023 to June 2025, felt spiritual confirmation about her call, and describes being strengthened when asked to train a new missionary despite feeling inadequate—overcoming weaknesses in initiating conversations and using scriptures. Alma 26:12 became a key passage for her about doing all things in God’s strength. She shares an experience of God’s hand in a friend who contacted missionaries via Facebook after hitting rock bottom and was baptized soon after changing his life. Emma also reflects on her parents’ divorce at age 13 as a personal rock-bottom that led her to choose the gospel, influenced by her mother’s example of prayer and observing differences between relying on Christ versus other coping methods. The conversation covers her approach to personal revelation through prayer journaling, finding quiet places to pray, and adjusting post-mission to less structure while trying to keep spiritual habits and goal-setting (including the mission “power wheel” and My Plan). Major themes include choosing lasting joy in Christ (including Helaman 5:12), leadership and charity as a sister training leader, repentance as a joyful process of improvement, and integrating consecrated living into everyday work. Emma closes by connecting her change of heart to gathering Israel and preparing for the Second Coming, and bears testimony of Jesus Christ. 00:00 Meet Emma Pratt: Big Family, Farm Life & Creative Hobbies01:12 Farm-Built Endurance: Hard Work Lessons That Carried Into the Mission02:24 No Friends to Teach: Finding Joy When Mission Work Feels Slow04:24 Leaning on Christ Through Inadequacy: Training a New Missionary06:06 Go-To Scripture Power: Alma 26 and ‘In His Strength I Can Do All Things’07:04 Called to Alabama Birmingham: Dates, First Reactions & Confirmation08:24 ‘God’s Hand Was in This’: A Facebook Message, Rock Bottom & a Fast Baptism10:12 Her Own Rock Bottom: Parents’ Divorce, Choosing the Gospel & Staying Happy13:20 Prayer + Journaling for Revelation: Learning to Hear God More Clearly15:19 Home From the Mission: Quiet Places, New Habits & the ‘Power Wheel’ Goals20:56 Tractor Time as Sacred Time: Audio Scriptures, Talks, Podcasts & Saints22:01 Mission Soundtrack: From Church History to The Beatles22:30 Finding a Higher Joy in Jesus Christ on the Mission23:44 Happiness vs. Joy: The “Slow Boil” and Choosing Miracles25:12 Building on the Rock: Helaman 5 and Enduring Trials26:34 Sister Training Leader Lessons: Charity, Leadership, and Real Training29:11 Letting God Train You: Humility, Weak Spots, and Repentance Without Shame33:36 Consecrating Everyday Life: Giving Equal Time to the Lord (Even Dishes)38:33 Change of Heart & “Can You Feel So Now”: Purpose, Time Machine Advice, and Testimony

Podcast host Justin Barton interviews Olivia Armstrong, originally from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, now living in Provo, Utah. hobbies like reading, outdoor activities, hammocking, and thrifting. She served a Spanish-speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Texas, Dallas West Mission from September 25, 2023 to March 26, 2025, sharing how mission life taught her about companionship, humility, and relying on Christ through serious prayer rather than focusing on baptisms. She discusses the challenge of adjusting after coming home, including missing her “people,” slipping into Spanish slang, and struggling to stay spiritually fed while starting a job and returning to school, emphasizing the need to fight for time with God. Olivia explains that her mission focus was building relationships and helping people know Jesus Christ is for them, regardless of whether they join the church, and reflects on a close friendship with someone she taught but did not baptize. She credits Mission President Ord with helping her keep her personality while serving, and shares a framework he taught: God’s love for us and our love for God as the foundation, leading to the Plan of Salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with other topics as “details.” Olivia recounts being driven to her knees during a difficult period with a companion and finding peace and Christlike love through prayer. She describes learning an eternal perspective partly from the movie Inside Out, and contrasts religion (a way of viewing life) with God (a reciprocated relationship), recalling a strong spiritual confirmation in the temple celestial room during her first endowment. Olivia testifies that God’s love is loud and personal through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, answers the show’s Alma 5:26 theme about change of heart and the “song of redeeming love,” and offers a future reminder to herself to return to prayer and dependence on God.
