Holland—emphasizing “Thy will be done.” After three months in the hospital, Abby regained breathing, feeling, and the ability to walk, later marrying Cole and building a family, while teaching gratitude, positive focus, humor, and avoiding comparison in trials.

Hosts Haley Hatch Freeman and Misty Smith welcome author and speaker Ganel-Lyn Condie to Latter-day Miracles.

The conversation explores the difference between joy and happiness, how to “claim” promised blessings while surrendering to God’s timing, and the value of praising God in both hardship and abundance. Using stories from scripture (Joseph, Nephi, and the woman with the issue of blood) and metaphors from her book Sourdough and the Savior, Ganel-Lyn emphasizes that what we feed grows, encourages mindful media consumption, and teaches focusing on offerings rather than outcomes. The episode closes with an invitation to record and share miracles to bring hope amid discouraging headlines, and listeners are invited to submit their own miracle stories.
