55: Rebeca Price ON: How to respond to the Faith Crisis of your spouse, Unconditional Love, Taking accountability for the things you can control.

Rebeca Price is an amazing person! She is a Mother 4 beautiful little girls, a Wife, a Professional Photographer, and an incredible human. I hope that you feel inspired like I did listening to her story to live with more trust and Faith. Also, the way Rebeca talks about taking full accountability for what she can control is enlightening and a very important piece to the outcome of the faith crisis her Husband has had which began only a few short years after their wedding in the LDS Temple.

Rebeca shares some very important lessons that she and Brandon learned regarding how to continue to put family and love first, take ownership of what you can control, make conversations safe for each other, and that transitions of faith do not make someone bad or less faithful than someone who's faith remains consistent.

Looking back on his youth, Drew is not able to see that God allowed him to experience all that he went through so that Drew could be prepared to be a friend, voice, and supporter of any and all ostracized groups and people who are treated as if they don’t belong by others. “It was as if God was coaching me”.

52. Kurt Nielsen ON: Finding the courage as a married man and father of 3 to come out Gay to friends and family and continuing to hold onto God, faith, and family.

Kurt Nielsen is a cousin of mine from California that I have never met until he reached out to me after I appeared on an episode of Richard Ostler’s podcast, “Listen, Learn, Love”, building bridges for LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. Kurt calls in from Yorba Linda California to bravely share his story as a gay Latter-day Saint. Kurt has been following deep impressions his whole life to live with the courage needed to come out to his wife and 3 kids and now feels called to be a voice for those silent sufferers who are to afraid to live with the authenticity they have always felt inside.

Kurt, you are a great man, very in tune with Gods love and concern for you, your family and other LGBTQ brothers and sisters. Thank you for your courage to share and for your example of trusting God.

🚨 51. Nate Moore ON: Service Leadership, Finding Purpose and focusing on the Tactics, Living your Value System, Making Love your undertone in all you do.

Nate Moore, is someone that lifts others in every environment, setting, and place that he chooses to be in. Sometimes in life we have the unique opportunity to meet someone that is a natural born leader, to me this is Nate, he is someone I look to as an example of servant leadership. When I first met Nate, he was serving as a Market Sales Leader for the Western Mountain Pacific area in the United States for Marriott International. This is a high ranking position and very quickly I was able to recognize that the reason that Nate was as successful as he is as a leader is due to the way he serves. With God, his family, fellowmen, and country in mind, Nate lives a life focused on service and what he can do to lift another.

Nate, you are an amazing man. I am grateful to know you, and have learned so much from you over the years. The way you lead through love and service is a powerful witness of the love and gratitude you have for God and the incredible country we live in. Keep shinning brother! Love watching you do it!

Here’s to 50🎉

If you have shared your story on my podcast and are reading this, I want you to know how grateful I am to YOU for your strength in vulnerably sharing the “gifts” you have received because of the challenges, trials, and darkest moments of your lives to this point. Your story has taught me and helped me grow in my love for others and it has increased my desire to show up for others when they are hurting. Thank you, I love you.

Powerful lessons I have learned from each story.

1. God/Universe/Light: God is aware of us yearns for us to choose to allow Him to help us.

2. Weaknesses: Our weaknesses have the ability to become our greatest blessings and opportunities in our lives.

3. Hope: Hope is hardly ever the first choice to present itself when things get rocky, but it is always the right choice, always.

4. Listen & Validate: If we want to truly love someone and become their “safe” zone, we must learn to (Fully) Listen without interruption or interjection, and just as important… to Validate/trust/believe what is being said to us is their truth.

5: Show up: We will all have moments when someone comes to mind for no reason, these impressions come for a reason and when we act on them in whatever way, text, call, crumble cookies, knock on the door, that person is always lifted and given the opportunity to feel seen by God and others.

6: Love: Simply put, we are all uniquely awesome! Don’t judge, Don’t argue, Do serve, Do recognize every person in this world is special and there is something we can learn from every single person.

To anyone that listens in to the podcast Episodes, thank you for the support. I don’t make any money doing this podcast, that is not the purpose, what I get in return is far greater than anything money can purchase. Humanity, ALL OF US, are freaking amazing!! ❤️🔥❤️

If you haven’t taken a minute to leave the podcast a review on Apple podcast, please do and know in advance how much I appreciate it. Link below if you would like to.

50. Halee Beckstead Watters ON: Reuniting with her mother years after she had given up custody. She shares a powerful story of Survival and Forgiveness. She and her mother Cori are now best of Friends!

Halee, you are incredible, I am inspired by your strength, your faith to keep going. We live in a world that tells us "Nice people finish last", but your story is a witness that this idea is completely false... You are as kind a person as I have met, and because you held onto hope and love rather than bitterness and anger, things shifted in your world causing miracles to happen around you, bringing healing into you and your mothers life, love into your own, and the sense of belonging that we all hope for during our lives on earth. Way to go!

Al van der Beek producer/song writer for ThePianoGuys shares his testimony of Gods love for us, Gods awareness and concern for us, and Gods desire for us to thrive.

Al and Rachel took the time to share their story with me recently, and it will suprise you how much it resembles the . They both went through so much before meeting, but when they found each other and became each other’s biggest supports and cheerleaders, miracles started to happen and their hearts were led back to God. God sure does know what He is doing💯❤️

Listening to Al and Rachel share their experiences of learning to put Gods will first in their lives and serving others is so fun, and inspiring to hear. They met in a club and hearing the tell they story is awesome, I truly hope The Piano Guys will make a music video about the experience. You will get a kick out of Al sharing his experience meeting Steven Sharp Nelson for the first time and the spirit will touch your heart as he talks about the day, in his recording studio while Steven was playing, he hit a beautiful low chord on the Chello, and in that very moment he looked up at Al with tears in his eyes and a huge smile on his face. They were both overcome by the spirit and from that moment they felt the call to play beautiful music for the world, regardless of religion, color, race, or background it’s music meant for everyone, created to uplift, inspire, and edify. All of the pieces that came together at the perfect time for The Piano Guys... but the crazy thing is they “STILL” haven’t sold a single piano😂😉.

Al and Rachel. Thank you. Thank you for being willing to meet with a complete stranger to share your witness of Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. I love you guys and will never forget the spirit I felt as you tenderly, humbly, and powerfully witnessed of God’s perfect awareness of us and desire to bless us as we seek Him, stay connected to Him, and strive to use our talents to serve His children in honor of His glory and goodness not our own.

I invite anyone who reads this to listen to their podcast episode, link in comments. If you open your heart, you will feel Gods love for you, personally. If you know anyone who is hurting, struggling, feeling lost or without hope, share Al and Rachel’s testimony with them, I promise you it will help.
