34. Part 2- God Remembers the Isles of the Sea with Terava Casey

38. All Things Testify of God’s Love with Nova Sonomura

Send me a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2273102/fan_mail/new] When Nova looks back on his spiritual journey, he often thinks of Alma 30:44, a verse that reminded him of God’s love during a time when he felt really discouraged. In this powerful verse, Alma teaches that we don’t need dramatic signs to know God is real because “all things denote there is a God,” from the scriptures to the earth and heavens around us. Feeling the Lord’s compassion through that scripture sparked a desire in Nova to recognize and share God’s love everywhere, and that theme has followed him throughout his life. When he was 12 years old he took on a challenge to bear his testimony every fast Sunday and read the entire Book of Mormon. As he thought and prayed about everything he began to feel the Spirit. Over the years, small promptings opened unexpected doors and strengthened his desire to serve. Eventually he served in the Japan Kobe Mission, where teaching people who knew very little about Christianity taught him to rely completely on the Spirit and to share the gospel in simple, genuine ways. Today, Nova’s life reflects steady faith, quiet consistency, compassion, and a sincere love for God and the people around him. These qualities  continue to guide him as he strives to walk with the Savior every day.

37. Sharing the Savior’s Light through Love and Example with Noel Fulumu'a

Send me a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2273102/fan_mail/new] Noel loves to “talk of Christ and rejoice in Christ” — 2 Nephi 25:26. She was born and raised in Samoa and comes from generations of faith and light. Her story is one of humility, trust, and deep devotion to the Savior. When her plans didn’t go as expected, she chose to turn to the Lord and found new purpose through His guidance. At BYU–Hawaii, she discovered strength through service, sisterhood, and tender temple miracles. Now back in Samoa, Noel continues to share her testimony and reflect Christ’s light so others can come to know Him too. In my closing remarks I talk about The Family Proclamation and how it’s revelation for our day. Its truths anchor us to Christ and remind us that family relationships are the very heart of God’s plan. Also how it has inspired my husband and I to be more intentional about how we lead and nurture our own family.

36. Finding Power and Peace in His Holy House with Naomi Fujii

Send me a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2273102/fan_mail/new] Naomi Fujii joins me to share her testimony through the words of Mosiah 2:9, a verse that reminds us to open our hearts and minds to the word of God with humility and faith. She connects this verse to the temple, a place that has brought her strength, peace, and closeness to the Savior. Especially during difficult times. Naomi also shares Alma 26:16, expressing her joy and gratitude for the Savior’s hand in her life. She grew up in a loving home with wonderful parents who taught her about Jesus Christ and His gospel. Soon she will begin her mission in the Spain Madrid North Mission, and her bright spirit, deepened testimony, and love for Jesus Christ will surely bless all she meets. My closing thoughts I share insights from Come, Follow Me about receiving “grace for grace” in Doctrine and Covenants 93, and how Amulek’s story in Alma 10 taught me more about growing step by step through repentance, obedience, and the sacrament.

35. Standing in Holy Places & Trusting God with Kalani Au

Send me a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2273102/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Kalani shares how Alma 38:1–5 came to him at a crucial moment in the MTC, giving him an instant testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that Heavenly Father knew, heard, and was guiding him. From his upbringing in Hawaii to serving in the Philippines Bacolod Mission, and now as a husband and father, Kalani reflects on how small choices, steady faith, and the Lord’s quiet guidance have helped him build a family anchored in Jesus Christ. In closing, I talk about how we can stand in holy places, physically and spiritually, by studying the Book of Mormon daily, spending time in the temple, and being a witness of Jesus Christ. I know the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and it will draw you closer to Him and help you feel the power of His Atonement.

34. Part 2- God Remembers the Isles of the Sea with Terava Casey

Send me a message! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2273102/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Terava opens up about how her testimony of the Book of Mormon grew gradually. Through quiet witness, meaningful moments, and touchstone scriptures she learned in seminary and in her young adult life. One verse in particular, 2 Nephi 29:7, helped her feel seen and remembered by God as someone from the Pacific Islands. Her testimony, like a black pearl, didn’t appear overnight. It formed layer by layer into something rare, strong, and beautiful.
