As a professional MMA fighter, Westin Wilson has made it his mission to spread the gospel. He is often referred to as “The Steve Young of MMA,” and in this episode sits down with us to talk about President Uchtdorf’s talk, “A Yearning for Home.” He shares with us the development of his testimony, life as a Mormon MMA fighter, and what “home” means after having grown up in a number of different states and continents. Make no mistake about it, Westin Wilson is one of a kind, and you’re going to love what he has to say!
