Have you ever stopped to consider how many small miracles have quietly shaped your life?

In this week’s episode of Latter-day Lights, we sit down with David Anderson—a husband, father of eleven, and grandfather of twenty-eight—whose life is a beautiful tapestry of tender mercies, quiet revelations, and sacred moments.

From losing his mother as a baby to discovering faith as a teenager, from extraordinary mission experiences to miraculous moments later in life, David shares how even the smallest spiritual impressions can leave the deepest marks.

Through heartfelt stories of pioneer ancestors, personal encounters with the Spirit, and everyday acts of courage and obedience, David reminds us that God is in the details. His stories aren’t just inspirational—they're a powerful invitation to reflect on our own lives and recognize the hand of the Lord, even in the seemingly ordinary moments.

When a simple curiosity of well-worn scripture leads to a full-fledged passion, can the pages of history strengthen our faith even more?

For family man and dedicated Book of Mormon collector, Robert Messick, the answer is a resounding YES! In this fascinating episode of Latter-day Lights, Robert takes us on a journey through centuries of rare and unique Book of Mormon editions—from early RLDS printings and first-edition 1830 copies, to a near-mythical Deseret Alphabet copy with only 500 ever produced. Robert reveals how these volumes aren’t just prized collectibles—they’re precious links to the faith, sacrifices, and testimonies of the Saints who came before us.

Building on his passion for preserving these sacred artifacts, Robert also introduces The Book of Mormon Census Project, an ambitious effort to track and protect these treasured books worldwide.

Robert’s testimony shines as a gentle reminder that the Book of Mormon remains a living, unifying force—no matter its publication date, material, or design. Whether you’re a history buff, a collector at heart, or simply seeking spiritual uplift, you’ll find inspiration in Robert’s stories of faith, family, and the timeless power of scripture.

What if your most devastating life storms are actually clearing the path to your greater purpose?

From the outside, Bethany Harger was living the dream—temple marriage, young children, and a promising future. But behind closed doors, crippling depression left her bedridden while her husband battled addiction.

After two divorces, custody battles across state lines, and periods of homelessness, Bethany found herself sleeping on her mother-in-law’s floor—while divorcing her son.

Then, a series of divine coincidences began to unfold—including the unexpected fulfillment of a written vision she’d created years earlier, describing the kind of loving relationship she longed for.

Today, Bethany has not only found that love, but also a renewed sense of purpose. She's now co-founding The Breakthrough Foundation with Leslie Householder to help others transform their own storms into purpose.

This episode offers a powerful reminder that when you feel most broken, you might actually be breaking through to something far greater than you ever imagined.
