What if the very things Satan uses to whisper, “you’re too broken, too messy, too late” are the exact things God wants to use to bless His children?

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of the Spiritual Psychology Masterclass) dives into the psychology behind fear, perfectionism, and “I’ll just mess it up” thinking. From mission stories in Detroit to the story of Martin Harris and the 116 pages, Maurice explains how perfect love casteth out fear and why God invites us into His work knowing full well that we are still in process.

You’ll hear powerful insights on seeing yourself as one vital chess piece on God’s board, learning when to move and when to “hold still,” and why your anger at the pain in the world is actually a form of Christlike love when it drives you to get tools to those who are suffering. Maurice and Markel also share about their new “Phase 3” effort—a project to turn deeply wounded, resilient Latter-day Saint women into an army of healers and creators who bring hope to others.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Satan uses tiny drips of fear and shame to keep you from writing, speaking, posting, or leading

• Why God’s work will move forward—and why you’re still invited (not required) to help

• How perfect love casteth out all fear when you study and serve with real people’s pain in mind

• The vision of a battalion of “broken” disciples doing miracles together

• The chessboard analogy: when God asks you to move, and when He asks you to stay put

• How to see your trauma, divorce, or failure as training for a future mission—not disqualification

If you’ve ever felt like, “I want to help, but I’m too flawed and I don’t know what to do,” this episode will help you see your place in God’s battlefield and give you courage to pick up your small, simple tools and get to work.

Can God really do His work through you when your life feels like a total mess? In this powerful episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of the Spiritual Psychology Masterclass) explores what it really means that “God’s work cannot be frustrated”—even by our weaknesses, sins, or failures.

Drawing on the story of Martin Harris and the 116 lost pages, early Church history, and real-life examples from modern disciples, Maurice dives deep into spiritual psychology—the mental and emotional patterns behind fear, shame, perfectionism, and “I’ve ruined everything” thinking. He also shares memorable insights like “the miracle is in the mess” (a phrase coined by Karen Broadhead of Mothers Who Know), and why God often uses our most chaotic, humiliating experiences as the raw material for miracles.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why God’s work cannot be frustrated—even by your worst mistakes

• How to see yourself as a tool in God’s hands, even when life is messy

• The difference between fearing man and trusting God

• How stories like Joseph Smith, Alma the Younger, and early Saints reveal God’s pattern with “professional sinners”

• Why your weakness, failure, or ruined plans may be part of a divine setup

• How to push back against isolation and “I’m the only broken one” thinking

• Practical ways to keep moving toward your mission and calling while everything around you feels chaotic

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I too broken for God to use me?” this conversation is a reminder that you are not disqualified. In fact, your “mess” may be exactly what qualifies you to serve, understand, and rescue others.

🎧 Perfect for:
LDS listeners, gospel teachers, therapists, missionaries, recovery warriors, and anyone who loves deep, doctrinal, psychology-rich conversations about the Atonement, agency, and personal growth.
