Discover the redemption arcs of Gideon, the brave captain, and Zeezrom, the lawyer who became a disciple. These unsung heroes of the Book of Mormon remind us that no one is beyond the reach of covenant joy.

In this special solo episode, Amy shares personal study and reflections on two of the Book of Mormon’s most inspiring but often overlooked figures: Gideon and Zeezrom.

You’ll hear the story of Gideon—the courageous captain who helped deliver his people from bondage—and Zeezrom—the skilled lawyer who went from fierce accuser to humble convert.

Amy explores how their experiences testify that redemption is always possible, no matter our past. Along the way, she invites you to imagine what these transformations may have felt like and reflect on how covenant joy can change any heart.

Kristen Beck shares how trusting God’s plan brings peace, even when life doesn’t go as expected. In this heartfelt conversation, she talks about learning the theme “I Am His” at girls camp, finding strength in prayer, and discovering that worthiness is not the same as flawlessness.

We also discuss Elder Brad Wilcox’s message, “Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness,” and how grace isn’t just the light at the end of the tunnel—it’s the light that moves us through it. Together, we explore how God’s hand is outstretched still—no matter how imperfect our efforts may feel.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God is aware of you and your dreams, this conversation is for you.
