Summary

This week's guest is Michael D. Young. We talk about his love of music, his experience first as a member of The Bells On Temple Square and now The Tabernacle Choir, his accomplishment of writing a hymn every day for a year (yes, you read that correctly), working with composers to submit many of those hymns to the church, his passion for writing verse, his podcast where he shares his writings as they apply to scripture study in Come Follow Me and so much more. Michael is so energetic and inspiring.
