We sit down with 4 young ladies that about to serve the Lord.  With the lowering of the age to 18 years old, more and more young ladies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are accepting the call to Serve The Lord. 

In this episode we talk with Kaylee Hester, Maggie Corbitt, Logan Markette, and Ashlyn Woolsey about their desire to serve an 18 month proselyting mission. 

From overcoming fears, following spiritual promptings, putting in the spiritual work, and discussing scripture, they all share why they feel a need to serve. 

We discuss favorite scriptures, who inspires them, and what they are most nervous about.

In this episode, Dr. Trina Boice joins us to explore how studying the gospel through Hebrew language insights, historical context, and scriptural research can deepen our understanding of Jesus Christ and strengthen personal faith. We discuss powerful Hebrew words that reveal deeper meaning behind familiar scriptures and how language can unlock richer doctrinal understanding.

Dr. Boice also shares insights about the Savior’s Via Dolorosa — the path Jesus walked on His way to the cross — helping us better understand the spiritual and symbolic significance of Christ’s sacrifice and Atonement.

How does serious gospel study affect testimony? This conversation shows how sincere research, thoughtful questions, and spiritual seeking work together to build stronger conviction and a more personal relationship with the Savior. When learning is guided by faith, knowledge becomes a tool that draws us closer to Christ.

In this episode:
    •    Hebrew words that deepen scripture study
    •    Gospel symbolism and historical context
    •    The meaning of the Via Dolorosa
    •    How research strengthens testimony
    •    Growing closer to Jesus Christ through study

Do you feel that there is a conflict between science and religion in regard to the Biblical creation story?  If not, have you ever spoken with someone who does?  In this episode, Saints in the South sit down with Tom Schleiffarth, author of "Adam vs. Evolution: Rediscovering the Original Creation Story". Tom utilizes scripture and current scientific understandings of origins of man, as well as history, philosophy, and linguistics, to lay out the creation story in a way that you may have never heard before!  Join us as we explore the creation story to gain a clearer understanding of what the scriptures actually have to say about the creation of mankind, as well as understanding that the idea of conflict between science and religion is a myth, based on misunderstanding of one or both of these things.

Travis of The Holy Rebellion joins us in remembering Jeffrey R. Holland and the impact he had in so many lives.  

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was a beloved apostle and senior leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known for his powerful testimony of Jesus Christ, his teaching ability, and his lifelong commitment to strengthening the faith of Latter-day Saints. He was born December 3, 1940, in St. George, Utah, and early in life served a full-time mission in Great Britain, an experience that shaped his devotion to missionary work and discipleship. 

Before full-time Church service, Elder Holland was deeply involved in Church education. He earned degrees in English and religious education from Brigham Young University and a master’s and Ph.D. from Yale University. He served as Dean of Religious Education, Church Commissioner of Education, and as the ninth president of BYU, where he emphasized gospel learning and helped expand educational opportunities. 

In April 1989, he was called as a General Authority Seventy. A few years later, on June 23, 1994, he was ordained a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, one of the highest governing bodies of the Church, charged with being a special witness of Jesus Christ to the world. 

As an apostle, Elder Holland’s ministry touched many globally. He frequently spoke at General Conference, sharing heartfelt sermons on Christ’s love, the power of the Atonement, and the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. In 2025, he spoke about the evidence of God’s works and testified of the Book of Mormon’s impact as a spiritual guide.

Elder Holland was set apart as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on October 14, 2025, a role in LDS Church governance that places him next in line to lead the Church under its established order of succession when the Church president passes. 

Throughout his service, members remembered him for his steadfast testimony of the Savior, his ability to lift the weary with compassionate words, and his unwavering devotion to gospel principles. His life and teachings have been a source of encouragement and dedication for countless Latter-day Saints around the world.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 happened during World War I along the Western Front, when British and German soldiers paused fighting on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. What began with simple gestures—singing carols, shouting holiday greetings across trenches, and placing candles on trees—turned into something remarkable as troops cautiously came out into “no man’s land.” Instead of bullets, they shared food, exchanged small gifts, showed pictures of family, and even played friendly soccer matches. They also used the moment to bury their dead with dignity and mourn together. It wasn’t ordered by generals or governments; it was an act of simple human decency from ordinary soldiers tired of violence. Though the war soon resumed and such truces were discouraged afterward, the event stands as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, people can choose peace, compassion, and brotherhood.

Have you been called to a proselyting mission and been reassigned to a service mission?  Have you had to come home early because of complications you didn't expect.  Have you had a son or daughter experience this?  

For Elder Dalton Howell, an unexpected turn in serving The Lord would not deter him from continuing his service as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  

We sit down with Elder Howell and discuss the trials of having to come home from his mission due to medical conditions but still choosing to serve.  

Elder Howell talks about his decision to serve, preparing for his call, receiving the call, leaving, and then being reassigned to his home ward.  

He is grateful for close friends and cousins that have helped him find the positive in the situation and understanding that even though it's not what he wanted, he is still serving.
