  • The Faith-Building Power of Church History - Sandra Meaders' Story - Latter-Day Lights
    Jun 28 2026

    Can the stories of the Restoration inspire your own story of faith?

    In this inspiring episode, Sandra Meaders shares how a lifelong love of books and a growing fascination with Church history led her on a journey that deepened her own faith in unexpected ways. Through countless visits to historic Church sites, studying the lives of early Saints, and immersing herself in the stories of the Restoration, Sandra discovered that the more she learned, the stronger her testimony became.

    That journey eventually inspired her to write a series of children's books designed to help young readers discover the scriptures, Church history, and the people and places that shaped the restored gospel. Sandra shares the experiences that influenced her writing, the miracles and tender moments that strengthened her faith, and why she believes sharing even a simple testimony can bless generations to come.

  • The Hinge Point Story: How Three Sisters Turned Fear into Hope Through Christian Music
    Jun 14 2026

    Can God use a difficult season to reveal your purpose?

    When COVID brought the world to a standstill, sisters Kandy, Kassidy, and Kalli found themselves searching for purpose, peace, and direction.

    What began as a difficult season of uncertainty became a defining hinge point in their lives—one that ultimately led them to form the Christian music group Hinge Point and dedicate their talents to sharing the love of Jesus Christ through music.

    In this uplifting episode, the sisters share how faith and music shaped their childhood, the unexpected inspiration behind some of their most meaningful songs, and how God opened doors they never imagined possible.

    From writing lyrics in the middle of the night to recording their first songs with a single microphone, their story is a powerful reminder that when we place our gifts in God's hands, He can magnify them far beyond what we thought possible.

    Join us as we explore the faith, family, and divine guidance behind Hinge Point's journey—and discover how God can use ordinary people in extraordinary ways when they're willing to simply take the first step.
