What happens when everything you’ve built your life on falls apart in the blink of an eye?

In this week’s episode of Latter-day Lights, special guest Clint Huston shares his deeply personal journey from being raised in the Church and appearing to do everything “right” on the outside, to an affair that led to divorce, a battle with pornography addiction, excommunication, and the painful loss of identity that followed. Until, at his lowest moment of feeling cast off, broken, and unworthy, Christ met him with unmistakable love and began a powerful work of restoration.

Through therapy, humility, and complete surrender to the Lord, Clint began a long and winding healing journey—one that included addiction recovery, rebaptism, temple restoration, remarriage, and learning to trust God’s timing more than his own. Along the way, he discovered that grace is not earned, healing is not linear, and the covenant path is rarely a straight line.

This episode is a raw and hope-filled testimony of the Atonement, the patience of God, and the truth that no one is ever beyond Christ’s reach. If you’ve ever felt disqualified, ashamed, or afraid that you’re too far gone to be healed, Clint’s story is for you.

What opportunities are possible like when faith, creativity, and technology collide later in life?

In this week’s episode of Latter-day Lights, Scott and Emily sit down once again with former Bering Sea Captain and guest, Jake Jacobsen, to explore a life-changing chapter of his journey—using AI and modern technology to bring decades-old lyrics, spiritual reflections, and life stories to life through music and video.

After spending nearly three decades navigating some of the most dangerous waters on Earth, Jake shares how long hours alone in the sea became a sacred space for songwriting, prayer, and reflection. Now, years later, those words are finding new expression through AI-assisted music, allowing him to share his testimony of Jesus Christ, the Atonement, and the covenant path with audiences around the world.

Jake opens up about the creative process behind his songs, the spiritual intentions guiding his use of artificial intelligence, why he sees this work as part of his personal mission, and his desire to preserve faith-filled stories for future generations.

This thoughtful conversation dives into big questions about creative authenticity, inspiration, and discernment in an age of rapidly advancing technology—and how tools like AI can be used intentionally to spread light, hope, and faith in Christ.

How do we build spiritual resilience and encourage the youth of today to do the same?

To celebrate the anticipated release of her latest book, “Covenant Power,” Scott and Emily sit down with author, seminary teacher, and temple ordinance worker Sharla Goettl to explore what spiritual resilience really means, and how it’s formed over time.

Drawing from her first book, “Spiritual Resilience,” and leading into three years of wrestling with promptings and reluctance, Sharla shares how patterns found in the life of Nephi reveal a practical, repeatable way to strengthen faith through action, covenant keeping, and personal revelation. Through powerful stories, the conversation also dives into the role of temple covenants in creating an environment where spiritual resilience can grow, how obedience and sacrifice unlock divine power, and why God’s “straight and narrow path” is often personalized rather than linear.

With thoughtful insights on parenting, youth, agency, and learning to act in faith before understanding the full picture, this episode offers a hopeful, grounding perspective for anyone seeking steadiness in a noisy, uncertain world.
