Summary

A young mom, Jess Kettle had always found joy in her membership in the Church. But when people she had looked up to and trusted began to leave, she found herself filled with anxiety regarding her faith. Jess felt a pressing need to double-down spiritually and dedicate herself to finding answers from God. In the process, she found herself more converted than ever. On this week’s episode, we talk with Jess about her journey and how the catalyst for her true conversion really came down to one thing—listening to a prophet's voice.

“I was drowning and this was the reach of my life.”

0:30.4	The continual bombardment of such messages may cause confusion, doubt, and pessimism.
0:36.3	Each attacking the fundamental truths we believe in are faith in God and our hope in the future.

1:13.2	Be aware that faith is not a free gift given without thought, desire, or effort.
1:18.9	It does not come as the do's fall from heaven.
1:21.6	The Savior said, Come unto me and knock and it shall be given you.
