What if you had the power to better understand your emotions?

From an inexplicable fear of intimacy, mother, wife, and "Missionary of the Mind" Cali Coates received a calling to tap into the transformative power of hypnotherapy. This journey not only allowed her to uncover the root of all her traumas, but also enabled her to positively influence her subconscious thoughts, fostering deep and lasting healing.

When face to face with your greatest fear, will you listen to God’s “yes”?

From a life-altering near-death experience as a young boy, artist and leatherworker Derek Tucker shares how this profound moment planted the seeds of his faith, completely oblivious to the impact it would have on the rest of his life.

In this episode of Latter-day Lights, Alan Smith shares how the heartbreaking loss of his infant son set him on a journey of self-discovery through the Spirit.
