How the Lord Inspired One Mother and BYU Professor to Continue to Pursue Her Education

Eva Witesman is best-known for her 2017 BYU Devotional address entitled: "Women and Education: 'A Future Only God Could See for You.'" In the address, Eva challenges the idea that there is only one path for Latter-day Saint women and that we each have spiritual gifts that only need to be accessed. Witesman was prompted to trust the Holy Ghost in her decision-making process, when she received an unexpected message while being set apart for a calling. Witesman put her faith in the message and set on her own path, even if it was very different from those around her. In this week's episode, All In host Morgan Jones talks with Witesman about how to access these spiritual gifts, what might be holding you back, and using the spirit to discover your own path.
