It was considered one of the biggest snubs of the Women’s World Cup in 2023. Ashley Hatch has been around the United States Women’s National Team since 2016, and even played in multiple games for the national team in 2023. And yet, when the roster for the Women’s World Cup team was released, Ashley’s name wasn’t on it. The tough thing is that, like many disappointments in life, Ashley doesn’t really have an answer for why it didn’t work out the way she’d hoped. She does, however, recognize that she has the power to choose how she responds to that disappointment.

Savannah Wooden was in high school when, after years of struggling with seizures, she made the difficult decision to have brain surgery that, if successful, would cure her seizures. The surgery was, by that measure, very successful, but in the years since, Savannah has struggled with the byproducts of the surgery. Even then, she can see that the power of the priesthood invited healing into her life that otherwise may not have been possible.

In this episode, we're sharing audio from chapter two of Elder David A. Bednar’s book The Rock of Our Redeemer: Facing the Future with Faith, Hope, and Power.

God’s power can help us to lead out, solve problems, nurture humanity, and strengthen relationships. One way we can access His power is in temple worship. In fact, President Nelson promised us this in his most recent General Conference address: “Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple. You will find His mercy. You will find answers to your most vexing questions. You will better comprehend the joy of His gospel.” And as women of faith, this is what we want! More Jesus in our lives. Because with Him, all things are possible.

Perhaps as curious believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ, we may have all had this question: what is truth? It's a wrestle that many of us have felt, and it's one that is soul-deep as we're seeking to grow closer to Jesus Christ. How do we navigate the quiet and simple truth that comes from God against the noisy onslaught of “untruth” that comes from the world?

Many of us go through life with certain expectations—about relationships, about blessings, about what it means to live a faithful life. But life often doesn’t play out the way we planned. People we love make choices we wouldn’t choose. Pain enters in ways we didn’t anticipate. And we may start to wonder: If God loves us, why does such opposition exist?

Angie identifies first and foremost as a daughter of God, a child of the covenant, and a disciple of Christ. Born and raised in Newdale, Idaho, she spent about 25 years in Salt Lake City before finding her way back home. She is an aunt to 20 niblings, which means she has attended approximately 4,000 sporting events, eaten fruit snacks she didn’t buy, and answered at least 700 variations of “Watch this!” She firmly believes that all people and things eventually connect back to Newdale somehow, and that the world is linked by far fewer degrees of Newdale than Kevin Bacon—just check where your fries came from the next time you're at Five Guys. Angie loves the outdoors, meaningful conversations, family traditions, and gathering people together, preferably around good food. Known for laughing loudly and somehow ending up in charge of things she never volunteered for, she believes the best parts of life are built around faith, family, service, and a healthy sense of humor.

Colette is married to Matt and is the proud mother of four amazing children—three boys and one girl—who have kept life busy, loud, and rarely short on laundry. Raised on a farm, she still believes fresh air, hard work, and a little dirt are good for the soul, which may explain why she loves spending time outdoors and finding new yard projects to tackle. Although she has spent the last 25 years caring for others as a nurse, she'd happily trade a few shifts for a tractor and a return to farm life. Her children are her greatest joy, and she couldn't be prouder of the people they are becoming. Above all, Colette is a disciple of Christ and treasures her faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which keeps her grounded through life's adventures, challenges, and occasional chaos. She somehow still finds time to start new projects before the old ones are finished—and remains convinced she'll get caught up someday.
