episode Moving Forward: David & Kim Hershey’s Journey of Faith, Family, and Resilience cover

Moving Forward: David & Kim Hershey’s Journey of Faith, Family, and Resilience

In this inspiring episode of the Star 3rd Ward Podcast, we sit down with David and Kim Hershey to hear the remarkable story of how two very different paths came together in a journey filled with love, laughter, and faith. From a blind date that almost didn’t happen to the challenges of military life, raising five children, and experiencing both heartache and healing, David and Kim open up about the highs and lows that shaped their life together.   David shares his experience as a Marine during Desert Storm, his transition into civilian life, and how a chance invitation to church changed everything. Kim reflects on being a young single mother, her testimony of the gospel, and how her children helped guide her back to Christ. Their story also touches on deep loss, career shifts, public service, and the quiet strength of enduring faith.   With humor, honesty, and warmth, the Hersheys show what it means to move forward—together—through life’s unexpected turns. This episode is a celebration of second chances, spiritual growth, and the power of love grounded in commitment and community.

From Dance Floors to Devotion: The Jones Family Journey

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Troy and Sarah Jones to hear the inspiring story of their family’s journey—from their first dance at a UVU institute activity to building a Christ-centered home in the 3rd Ward. Moving into the ward during the height of the pandemic, they share how an unexpected knock on the door from Bishop Wood helped them instantly feel welcomed. Troy reflects on serving a mission in Thailand and his path as a software architect, while Sarah opens up about her passion for dance and how motherhood ultimately became her dream career. Together, they talk about balancing faith, family, and fun—whether it’s throwing the kids into a cold lake to “force a good memory,” restoring a family cabin in the mountains, or raising daughters with unique personalities and talents. They also share meaningful thoughts on parenting with intention, the importance of prayer in family life, and the quiet but powerful ways the Spirit guides their choices. With warmth, humor, and love, the Joneses invite us into their family story and remind us of the blessings that come from gathering—both as families and as a ward.

Why We Belong: Reflections from Jason and Debby Holt

In this heartfelt episode of The Star 3rd Ward Podcast, we sit down with Jason and Debby Holt as they prepare to transition out of the ward they’ve deeply influenced. Through laughter, tears, and treasured memories, the Holts reflect on the unexpected ways the Lord shaped their time in Star—from Debby’s powerful conversion experience to her transformative service as Relief Society President. With humility and honesty, they share how ministering became a doorway to true belonging, how meaningful friendships—like the one between their son Brandon and Dallin—were clearly orchestrated by divine design, and how seemingly small acts of service, like delivering bread and eggs, opened hearts and homes. Jason offers touching insight into supporting others through callings, while Debby’s reflections on learning to love, lead, and let go offer wisdom for anyone navigating change. This is more than a farewell—it’s a reminder that when we open ourselves to growth, connection, and trust in the Lord’s timing, we find exactly where we belong.

From Addiction to Atonement: Jeff Wood’s Journey of Faith, Family, and Service

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of The Star 3rd Ward Podcast, Ryan sits down with Jeff Wood—beloved former bishop, interpreter, chaplain, and a pillar of empathy within our community. Jeff opens up about his deeply personal journey growing up in a family profoundly affected by addiction, his own struggles, and the life-changing moment when the Atonement of Jesus Christ reshaped his path forever. From Southern California roots to missionary service in Washington, D.C., and eventually building a life and legacy here in Star, Idaho, Jeff’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and deep compassion. He shares the transformative power of an inspired bishop’s love, his unexpected introduction to sign language through family, and his current role as a chaplain for the Ada County Sheriff’s Department—a calling that allows him to minister to first responders with the same empathy that has defined his life. This conversation dives into the unseen battles, the miracles of second chances, and the importance of letting Christ’s love shape our interactions with others. Jeff’s honesty, humility, and humor shine through every story he shares—offering listeners a testament of hope, service, and enduring faith. Tune in to discover how Jeff Wood’s life stands as a living witness to the power of the Atonement and the beauty of a heart committed to lifting others.

Seeing in Color: The Houghtons’ Journey of Church, Change, and Choosing Again

What happens when the path you were raised to walk no longer feels like your own? In this episode, Cole and Libby Houghton open up about their winding spiritual journey—one marked by tradition, transformation, and the courage to choose again. From growing up in strong Latter-day Saint families to serving missions and marrying young, the Houghtons began adulthood immersed in the church. But when Cole shared his doubts just six weeks into marriage, everything shifted. Together, they navigated disconnection, cultural pressures, and multiple moves across the country—each bringing new perspectives on belief, community, and identity. Through deeply honest reflection, they share what it was like to step away from church, rediscover spirituality in unexpected places, and ultimately find their way back—not out of obligation, but desire. With humor, humility, and hope, Cole and Libby remind us that faith doesn’t have to be black and white. Sometimes, the most sacred journeys begin when we finally start seeing in color.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
