Ep. 140 - Author Drew Young - The Meaning of Your Mission


Listen Later

Drew Young is the author of the new book The Meaning of Your Mission: Lessons and Principles to Know You Are Enough. We talk about his growing up on the east coast in a large family, the challenges and blessings of moving to Utah at age twelve, discovering struggles with anxiety, being bullied, finding strength and confidence in himself, the decision to serve a mission, difficulties with the return of anxiety in the MTC, and ultimately the decision to come home at the end of his MTC experience. He then shares the challenges an early returned missionary faces including dealing with sometimes hurtful questions and comments from friends and families, wrestling with self-worth, figuring out what comes next and how the atonement plays in to all of this. These experiences lead Drew to figure out his mission in life, find peace, gain strength and now publish his new book to help others find their mission. Drew is amazing. He is so open and humble as he speaks with the spirit. His book is a powerful story of God's love for and awareness of us all.
