24. Seeing the Savior Through His Servants: My Study of President Oa
Episode Summary:
In this episode of Sunshine in the Middle, I’m diving deep into something I’ve been quietly doing behind the scenes for the last 18 months—studying the words of President Dallin H. Oaks, one talk at a time. If you've ever felt like his tone is more stern than tender, you're not alone. I’ve been there too. But what I found as I listened, studied, and prayed was something unexpected—love, depth, and unwavering commitment to the words of the Savior.
