The Covenant Path

In this episode, I talk to Alan Russel, an entrepreneur and the Stake President of the Ogden YSA 2nd Stake. Alan is a successful businessman, but it becomes clear that his family and the gospel are where he focuses his time. I met him when I spoke for a stake devotional, and the spirit strongly impressed me to have him as a guest on the podcast. The spirit did not disappoint. I am sure you will feel the same way as Alan talks of his family, the events in his life, the gospel, and studying the scriptures.

I had a delightful time with Susan Easton Black, and it is a privilege to share with you Susan, the person. Come and learn about Miss Universe and a unique skill Susan developed in her early years, being a circus act, and how fashion played a special role in her life. How she found a better way to earn money than working at a bakery for .90 cents an hour and, of course, her unique courtship with scholar and author George Durant, and there is so much more. You will find yourself laughing and, more importantly, being spiritually uplifted as Susan tells of her most interesting life.
