Talmage got to ask Connor Benich about his experience coming home from the mission. Connor's story goes through heart break, God's radio silence, Tiktok, dating, and a conversation you wouldn't think someone would have with God.

Remember, God is good and is planning on your success. And though you've been released from your mission, you haven't been released from your ministry.

Discover the power of transformation as we share an intimate conversation with Jackson Wayne Paul, a young man from Sandy, Utah, whose life journey took him from the valleys of repentance to the peaks of spiritual insight. In the bustling streets of Lisbon, Portugal, Jackson found his mission and, later, his calling as a United States Marine. His dedication didn't stop there; it blossomed into an endeavor to authenticate the Book of Mormon through his YouTube channel, the Stick of Joseph. We unravel the complexities of returning to everyday life after a mission, the resilience required to face legal issues, and the global pandemic's unprecedented challenges.

The Stick of Joseph YouTube channel emerges as a beacon of rational discourse, inviting discussions on faith and the pursuit of truth. Jackson's travels to the Middle East to trace the paths of ancient prophets serve as a testament to the depth of his commitment and the tangible evidence supporting his beliefs.

I've grappled with the growing pains that have simultaneously sculpted and tested my resolve. In this solo episode, I talk about how some of my biggest blessings have been the hardest things to bare. and I confess to moments when it felt like I was barely holding on. I recognize that growing pains are a sign of growth and I can look forward to greater capacity and strength moving forward. Douglas Malloch's poem "Good Timber" finds its way into the episode.
