How do you keep your faith when questions feel louder than answers?
This Sunday, episode 2 of our 5-part “Faith to Stay” miniseries dives into the idea of “Primary vs. Secondary Questions”—a core principle from Latter-Day Lights host and founder Scott Brandley’s new book on weathering spiritual storms.
Joined by returning guests—near-death survivor, Jerry Paskett, and Catholic-turned-Latter-day Saint, Dr. Fred Dodini—Scott and Alisha unpack Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge’s landmark talk “Stand Forever.” Together, they explore which questions actually anchor belief, why some doubts derail discipleship, and how personal revelation outshines internet rabbit holes. Their candid stories—from bedside miracles to late-night theological wrestling—show how holding onto just one rock-solid truth can steady an entire life.
If competing voices have ever made you wonder whether the Gospel holds up, this conversation will help you tune out the noise and lean into the answers that matter most.
