244. Creating Clarity


Listen Later

Here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 244 – Creating Clarity, we talk about what to do when you feel stuck, confused, directionless, or unsure about your next step on the mission, in college, or in life. I share in real time what it looked like for me to create clarity while recording this very episode, and why clarity rarely comes before movement. Whether you're deciding if you should serve a mission, navigating a hard transfer, choosing a major, or wondering what's next after you come home, this episode explores faith, agency, uncertainty, growth, discomfort, and how to trust God while stepping into the unknown.

We dive into the powerful analogy of stepping into the forest before you can find the clearing, and why your lower brain's discomfort is not a red flag—but often a sign you're on the verge of expansion. I talk about how clarity comes through momentum, why discomfort doesn't disqualify you, how to stop letting "I don't know" shut you down, and how Joseph Smith's First Vision models movement before revelation. We also explore the difference between advice and tools, internal preparation through Mission Prep Plus, and how practicing faith one step at a time builds confidence, peace, and direction.

If you've been waiting for certainty before taking action, this episode will remind you that you only need the next step. Discomfort isn't proof you're on the wrong path—it may be proof you're growing. Join me here on The LDS Mission Podcast, Episode 244 – Creating Clarity, as we learn how movement creates the clarity we've been searching for.

As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
