This week, I'm sitting down with Starr Anderson, the woman who taught me to love studying the scriptures. Starr shares some personal experiences that will change how you approach your own scripture study and relationship with the Savior.

Through tears and testimony, Starr opens up about a pivotal moment in college when her father left the faith, and how that experience became a catalyst for her lifelong commitment to finding the Savior in the scriptures. 

She takes us through her favorite scripture stories from the Book of Ether in the Book of Mormon and John chapters 20-21 in the New Testament.

Listen in and learn more about these 3 takeaways:

• Stay where you expect the Savior to be
• The Lord knows exactly what to do with your 'things' that you offer
• Consistency is so much more important than perfection when it comes to scripture study

If you sometimes struggles with mundane scripture study, feel like you're missing out, or just need encouragement to keep showing up, this episode is for you. 

I know it's a longer episode but, trust me, it will be time well spent. Plus, you'll hear some of Starr's best advice for teaching your kids how to trust in the Lord.

If you’ve ever felt nudged to do something outside your comfort zone, this episode is for you. 

We explore what Nephi does when the Lord asks him to do something that seems bigger than what he is capable of. Along the way, we’ll connect his experience to your own efforts to look to Christ, increase your faith through action, and find joy in doing things the Lord’s way even if it doesn’t make sense yet.

You’ll also hear a personal story from my own life about a time I followed a prompting that didn’t come with clear instructions. Spoiler: I have no regrets.

Whether you’re wrestling with self-doubt, waiting for more clarity, or wondering where that crazy thought came from in the first place - you can learn from Nephi's example.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to use scripture stories as a blueprint for your own life
• Why your unique gifts matter in the Lord’s work
• How to grow in confidence before the Lord

No matter how big the task may seem, you don’t have to do it alone. 

This is your invitation to light the world in your own way.

What if the strength you need isn’t in pushing harder but in quietly enduring with faith?

In this episode of Where We Meet, we’re turning our attention to a group of often-overlooked women in The Book of Mormon: the wives of Nephi and his brothers, found in 1 Nephi 17:1–4. Though unnamed in the scriptures, their story is one of grit, grace, and quiet obedience in the wilderness.

We explore what it means to be both afflicted and greatly blessed and how the Lord gives real power to Latter-day Saint women who choose to endure with faith, even when the journey feels never-ending.

Audra shares a tender personal story from her own wilderness season. As she likens the scriptures to her own life, you'll feel seen in your own afflictions and reminded that the Lord is always with you.

Whether you're in a literal or emotional wilderness right now, this episode will help you recognize God's hand, reframe what it means to be “strong,” and lean into quiet but powerful discipleship.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What The Book of Mormon teaches about quiet, faithful women and why they matter
• How to liken the scriptures to your current season (even if it feels nothing like ancient wilderness)
• Why obedience isn’t about perfection, but positioning yourself to receive strength and direction from Christ

This episode is especially for Latter-day Saint women who are tired, stretched thin, or wondering if their quiet efforts matter. The truth is: they do.

The Lord sees your unseen service.
 He blesses your obedient heart.
 And He gives real power to those who look to Him.

Have you ever stood for something you believed in and realized you were completely alone?

In Helaman 10, we find Nephi (the son of Helaman) at a spiritual crossroads. Abandoned by the crowd, yet confirmed by God.

In this episode, we explore what it means to align our deeds with God's will, and how daily obedience (even when unseen) leads to real, lasting power.

We’ll walk through this sacred chapter together, drawing strength from Nephi’s example and reflecting on the promises God makes to those who stay faithful. I’ll also share a personal story about a time Elder Dale G Renlund answered a question I had been too scared to ask and how verses 4–5 of this chapter became a personal witness to me that the Lord sees our efforts and accepts them.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between deeds and works, and why both matter to God
• Why daily repentance strengthens your ability to choose what’s right, even when it’s hard
• How one faithful act can become a turning point in your personal spiritual power

🎧 Listen now and take one small step toward aligning your life more fully with Him.

Have you ever found yourself in a season where all the usual answers feel thin? Where your prayers feel more like wrestling matches than peaceful conversations?

If you’ve been there (or if you're there right now) you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. 

In this episode of Where We Meet, we step into the story of Enos, whose prayer in one short chapter of the Book of Mormon shows us what it means to pray with your whole soul.

Enos’s story is raw, real, and refreshingly relevant. It begins in an ordinary moment but turns into a life-altering encounter with the Lord. 

This episode is for the woman who loves Jesus but feels spiritually worn out. It’s for the one wondering if prayer still works. It’s for the heart that wants to believe but just needs a little help holding on.

We’ll explore:

 • What Enos’s wrestle teaches us about faith in action and personal growth
 • Why remembering spiritual roots, even imperfect ones, can steady us in crisis
 • How turning outward after a personal revelation invites deeper peace

We also reflect on how the Lord often leads with forgiveness. And we’ll talk about what it looks like to plant seeds for a future we may not get to see, trusting the Lord to fulfill His promises in His time.

You’ll leave this episode feeling encouraged to keep going, to keep praying, and to keep looking to Christ, especially if things feel unclear or hard. Because sometimes prayer doesn’t change the situation right away. But it always changes you.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story behind how this podcast came to be. What started as a tormented release from a church calling became an invitation to create something new. Something rooted in personal revelation, bold testimony, and a longing to remind others that the Savior meets us in the middle of our mess, not once we’ve figured everything out.

If you’ve ever wondered what God is preparing you for, or felt a prompting that didn’t come with a roadmap, this episode will speak to your heart.

You’ll hear:

• The journal entries, scriptures, and conference talks that sparked the idea for this podcast
• How the Lord gently nudged me from guilt to confidence after being released from a calling
• An honest reflection on what it feels like to follow promptings when you can’t see the end from the beginning

I’ll also share insights from President Russell M. Nelson and Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf on the power of personal revelation and what it means to testify boldly, even when your story feels unfinished.

If you’re in a quiet waiting season, facing change, or just need a reminder that your voice matters, I hope you find it here.

Have you ever felt like people made up their minds about you based on one small part of your story? Same. And so did Zacchaeus.

In this episode, we’re walking through Luke 19 and the story of Zacchaeus, a man most people dismissed, but Jesus saw him differently. We’ll unpack what it means to really see someone the way Christ does, even when the crowd wants to look the other way.

You’ll hear:
 What climbing a tree teaches us about faith
 Why judgment keeps us from seeing people clearly
 How Christ invites us to love people as they are, but still point them to His truth

Plus, I’m sharing a personal story that reminded me how easy it is to miss someone’s goodness when we’re too focused on assumptions.

This is where we meet, right in the middle of being misunderstood and being met with divine compassion.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Believe, Love, Do by Dieter F Uchtdorf
• Luke 19
• Ezekiel 34:16
• 2 Nephi 26:25
