Viewing Your Faith and Life Story Through "Context Lenses": Alan Smith - Latter-Day Lights

LDS Podcast "Latter-Day Lights" - Inspirational LDS Stories

Sometimes, life’s toughest challenges can lead us to our most profound discoveries.
In this episode of Latter-day Lights, Alan Smith shares how the heartbreaking loss of his infant son set him on a journey of self-discovery through the Spirit.
He explains how looking through our "context lenses"—the stories and beliefs that shape our perspective—can help us see life more clearly and find peace, even in tough times. Alan's journey reminds us that by adjusting our lenses, we can better understand God's guidance in our lives.
Alan’s unique love for shoes and his exploration of his faith show that everyone’s path is different, and faith isn’t one-size-fits-all. His story encourages us to embrace our own journey, recognizing that every step, no matter how unconventional, is part of God’s plan for us.
