Parker's Testimony: An Eye of Faith

Today I interview Parker Horn. He shares how his parent's constant example and devotion to the church and its youth programs helped him to develop a love and respect for the gospel. However, he felt that his testimony of the church was mostly passive with little opposition until he left home for college, and started to explore more of his questions about the church. His questions only helped his testimony to begin to progress and that desire to know and understand would help his faith journey when he was serving a mission in Ecuador. Parker talks about his confusion and frustrations with his mission that eventually helped him to see with an 'eye of faith' and develop a deep personal connection with his Heavenly Father. I loved this episode and I hope you do too!!

David's Testimony: "Nail Gun, Foot to the Floor"

Today I interview David Ashton. This interview is full of engaging metaphors and idioms that begin to explain the full excentric personality of Brother Ashton. He talks about his strong upbringing in the church and how his parents set up an incredible foundation for him to build off. He speaks of learning about the healing power of the atonement and about key moments in his teenage years where he felt the spirit testify to him of the truthfulness of the gospel. I have been thinking about this episode ever since recording it, it truly was so exciting to be a part of. I hope you enjoy!
