Hello and welcome to the scriptures or real podcast. This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that have made them become more real or more applicable in our lives because we think there's power in the scriptures and we want to draw as much power out of them as we can.

I'm your host, Kerry Mulestein, and I'm so excited for our guests today.

A member of my stake is how I first got to know him, but we have with us Dallin Bayliss.

And I could read some really long information about Dallon. He has performed

in Broadway with Phantom of the Opera and Les Mies and Children of Eden and all sorts of other

places. I remember seeing you at the Hell Center Theater, one of the lead roles in Scarlet Pimpernel.

You were the bad guy, but I still liked you.

And I first heard I'm actually singing in, I think it was a state conference or a state priested leadership meeting or something.

And I think Dallon is also an institute teacher now at the UVU or the Orim Institute. Am I, am I correct? That's correct.

Yeah, the Utah Valley Institute. Yeah. So, so welcome, Dallon, and please tell us a little bit more

about yourself. Well, I think you covered it all. So I, a lot of my life has been in music. Music has been a

very important part of my career, my life, my heart.

And so I love performing.

I also love teaching the gospel, and I love sharing it.

And so, yeah, it's been a really interesting life. And we

could probably go on for quite a while and talk about all the various pathways I've gone.

But needless to say, I'm here now at the Institute. I'm actually directing the choir here,

which is pretty cool. And so I'm doing up that job. Yeah, so music has kind of found its way even into my job with seminaries and institutes, which I'm very grateful for. That's grateful. And you also do just some acting. It's not always music, I think. Like haven't you played Joseph Smith and Hiram and some other, even Brigham Young, I think, in some church movies.

That's correct, yeah. So I do a lot of acting. I do film acting. I do stage work,

as you mentioned, you know, with Broadway. So acting definitely a big part of that.

But my favorite is when you're able to incorporate music into it. Music is just, and we'll probably talk about this, we're going to be talking about the Psalms, right?

We have, music is a very powerful instrument of expression and a very powerful tool of the spirit.
