  • Ski Snob Meets the Midwest Ep. 27
    From Utah’s powder to Indiana’s trails, David Wypert shares a compelling journey of place, language, and faith. He recounts growing up a “ski snob” in Alpine/Highland, Utah, surfing and skating in Southern California, and moving his family to Fishers, Indiana in early 2022 for affordability and priorities that let his wife stay home with their kids. Along the way, David’s Spanish—refined during a mission in Hermosillo, Mexico and now used daily as a pharmacist—shifted from translation to true fluency, unlocking richer understanding in both everyday life and scripture study.
    The conversation deepens as David opens up about overcoming addictive behavior through the Church’s Addiction Recovery Program. He describes the transformative power of surrender to Christ—reshaping expectations, parenting, and how he serves others. Ken and David explore how learning languages changes how we think, why Hebrew roots illuminate scripture, and how grace meets us in real life. It’s equal parts humor, humility, and hope.

  • From Reno to Rexburg - Meet Heather Anderson Ep. 25
    In today’s episode, we sit down with Heather Anderson, a vibrant member of our community who shares her story of faith, resilience, and the unexpected turns life can take. Heather talks about her roots in Reno, Nevada, her experiences serving a mission in Concepción, Chile, and the pivotal moments that guided her journey—from supporting her mother through a cancer diagnosis to following promptings that led her to BYU-Idaho, where her life changed in ways she never anticipated.
    Heather gives us an inside look at the challenges and blessings of coming home early from her mission, navigating big decisions that went against the “norm,” and building her family in unexpected ways. Whether it’s her passion for board games, her love of Harry Potter, or her heartfelt reflections on following spiritual promptings—even when they make no logical sense—Heather’s story is a testament to trusting in a bigger plan and finding assurance that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
    Tune in for a warm, candid conversation that reminds us all about the power of community, following your own path, and recognizing the little tender mercies along the way.
