In this episode of the 'Can You Feel So Now' podcast, host Justin Barton interviews Alec Roland, a recently returned missionary from The Thailand, Bangkok Mission. Alec shares insights about his upbringing, his life-changing experiences during his mission, and his understanding of the grace of Jesus Christ. He recounts personal stories, including overcoming adversities and doubts, the importance of repentance, and lessons from his interactions with Buddhism. Alec highlights the power of the scriptures and the invaluable role of the temple and eternal families in maintaining spiritual strength. The conversation profoundly explores the concept of grace and its pivotal role in the journey of faith.
