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

In this episode, Dave Higham shares how during his 3rd time serving as a bishop in the LDS church, he was excommunicated for 5 years.

But even through the darkness and pain, Dave has hope for the future and is looking forward to be being rebaptized. His difficult battle has helped him to have empathy for other's who have gone through this difficult process, and hopes that by going through this experience that he can in some way help to encourage others to find their way back.
