Summary

Shannon Foster didn’t grow up in a Latter-day Saint home where scriptures were regularly studied—and her father wasn’t a member of the Church. But rather than see this as a setback, Shannon considers it one of her greatest blessings. That unique perspective has shaped her ability to relate to others and to inspire confidence in anyone seeking to better understand and love the scriptures. In this episode, Shannon shares her journey and explains why she’s so passionate about helping others develop a personal, meaningful relationship with scripture—no matter their background.
