He Carried Me Home
Broadcast Date: July 26, 2026
It was the time of the corn harvest. All the community turned to their fields, and men and boys hired, helped, and shared until the harvest was secured for the winter.
In one field, a man named Palmer sent out his sons to work. Tagging along with them that afternoon was their six year-old sister. While the men worked, the little girl…
Captivity of Your Fathers
Broadcast Date: July 26, 2026
It was about 74 BC and the 18th year of the reign of the judges when Alma gathered his sons to him. The declining spiritual state of the people concerned ‘Alma the prophet’ so much that ‘Alma the father’ felt the need to instruct his sons. Helaman, the eldest, was called first.

Courtney's Second Chance
Broadcast Date: July 26, 2026
A recent experience of a young friend of mine serves to teach a powerful principle. Courtney loves music. She plays the piano and the flute; she sings; she composes; she can do it all.

Years ago I had the experience of standing on the high plains of Wyoming near the common grave of some pioneers. Now, I did not know them or anything about them, yet there was a hallowed presence there I have not forgotten.

Not long ago I mentioned in one of my stories that my family took a vacation to Yellowstone Park. An experience from that vacation keeps coming to mind. So if you don’t mind, I’d like to share it.
One night my daughter, Sherise, and I were walking side-by-side on the boardwalk through Norris Geyser Basin. All around us were the boiling…

Stillman Pond
Broadcast Date: July 19, 2026
I don’t suppose that I’m alone when I say that – sometimes life gets pretty difficult. And I also have learned from past experience that when life seems difficult, sometimes it helps to hear about someone whose had it a little rougher than you. So with that in mind, may a share a story of a pioneer by the name of Stillman Pond?
Stillman Pond and his family were…

Jesus the Pioneer
Broadcast Date: July 19, 2026
July is a month of remembrance. It is a blessing to us that such a time is set aside where we may remember and honor the great patriots and pioneers of our past. You know, it seems to me that the more we value what they did for us, the more sacred their memory becomes to us. So in that spirit, if a pioneer is one who at great personal risk and sacrifice makes the…

October 23rd, 1856: The Willy Handcart Company was camped at the base of Rocky Ridge, Wyoming. They had just passed a cold and miserable night in the snow. If they had slept at all, it would have been because of sheer exhaustion. Starving, weak, and chilled, they now faced what would be their greatest triumph yet. They would have 15 miles to cover that day to get…

Those beleaguered people were forced into and then across the Mississippi River, and were now huddled, starving, and suffering on the west bank of the great river. Notwithstanding, they were refugees…
