Hey everybody before we get started I just wanted to jump on because we are so excited to announce that restore registration is officially open

We can't wait to be with you again this year. It's gonna be on September 5th through 7th at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy, Utah.

That's the evening of September 5th and then all day on the 6th and the 7th.

Three days of incredible speakers, poets, musicians, and artists.

We really think that what we have planned will blow you away again this year so you won't want to miss it.

Go to faithmatters.org slash restore for tickets and we'll see you there.

Hey everybody this is Aubrey Chavez from Faith Matters. We're so excited to share this

episode with you. It's with

someone that we've wanted to talk to for a very long time, Desert Book President

Laurel Christensen Day. We could see from afar that she's a trailblazing leader and

a thoughtful publisher. And we were not surprised at all to find that as we got to know her a little bit,

she's a woman of deep faith as well.

Uniformly, everyone we've ever spoken to who's had a chance to work with Laurel absolutely loves her.

And we've always been fascinated by

Desert Book by the unique place it holds in Latter-day Saint Culture and the

responsibility it has in creating and distributing content that informs,

inspires, and even shapes belief.

Walking into a desert book and seeing the art and the books and the scripture sets

always seem to make us feel nostalgic about our own upbringing and tradition,

even while we're still living it.

And desert book is, of course, much more than a retailer.

They're a major content producer with business lines in books, music, art, and events.
