Welcome listeners to another episode of Listen, Learn, and Love, hosted by Richard Osler.

My guest on today's podcast is Noah Walker. Welcome to the podcast, Noah.

Hey, thanks for having me.

Noah's in my home, and he will be talking about OCD, but let me give you a little background

on Noah. I met Noah as a family party as he's dating my cousin's daughter, Kate.

So if you can follow that, that's how I met him.

And somehow we were sitting on the bench table and we started talking about OCD.

And Noah opened up about his OCD and I thought this pretty powerful story, it would help

our listeners. So Noah accepted my invitation

to be on the podcast. He is 20, but as I've listened to him before we visit, he is really

bright and thoughtful and very smart about this space. So because he's been walking this road

for a couple of years and has great insights into

OCD as well as some of the subsets. And then he's going to talk about in the end of the podcast

where I wasn't quite sure where God was in this whole process to work through OCD. But he's going to

talk about now that he's in a steady state where God was the whole time.

Noah grew up in Northern Virginia. He spent some time as a child in Arizona. He spent about

18 months in Utah as a youth. Being active LDS in Northern Virginia, you often think someone

would come out to Utah because they're going to BYU, but that's not true.

Noah has a family connection to the University of Utah that's in his blood, so he's here at the University of Utah. He's working long term to become a clinical psychologist.

Using some of the, sometimes the best clinical psychologist I know, it's not just theoretical,

but they have real world life experience because of the road they've walked.

And Noah's been walking this road.
