What Now Podcast Meaningful discussions to motivate, educate, and inspire members of The Church of Jesus Christ of LDS

23/10/2025

In this conversation, we talk about how the Church is recognizing and supporting so many individuals and groups who are already doing incredible work to lift others.

It’s inspiring to see how the Church is opening its arms to work hand in hand with those reaching people in ways that official programs can’t.

Because when something uplifts, strengthens, and aligns with truth—it’s from God. And He will use every willing heart to build His kingdom.

Imposter syndrome can creep in right when the Spirit is nudging us toward something new. You start to wonder if you’re capable… if you have what it takes.

But when God calls you to something, He’ll teach you what you don’t yet know. That’s what faith looks like, trusting that He’ll meet you in the middle of your leap.

Don’t be afraid to follow through with those impressions. You’re being prepared for something bigger than you can see.

From overcoming self-doubt to weaving faith into everyday conversations, this episode is filled with practical, uplifting ways to deepen discipleship. Whether you’re a busy parent, youth leader, or someone looking for fresh ways to connect with God daily, you’ll find encouragement and ideas you can use right away.

When we pull the scriptures into our daily lives, something sacred happens: we receive personal guidance from the Spirit—unique direction for our specific circumstances.

And it’s not just comfort. It’s clarity. It’s peace. It’s God’s hand in the details of our lives.

That’s why the doctrines and organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are so powerful. Not because we’re told to share it. But because it changes us so deeply that we can’t help but proclaim it.

This is why I choose the Church of Jesus Christ.

When we’re vulnerable and willing to share our struggles, something beautiful happens—we build faith in one another. We realize we’re not alone.

The Church invites us to create meaningful, safe relationships. To become a village. To walk together, learning who God and Jesus Christ are—not just from our own lives, but from each other’s experiences.

Because in that shared faith, we find strength, connection, and the courage to keep going.

In this episode of the What Now Podcast, I sit down with Emily Snyder to explore her journey of finding purpose, belonging, and using her voice—whether single or married—in a family-centered church.

Emily shares her experiences working in both the professional and faith-based worlds, from collaborating with leaders like Chip and Joanna Gaines to serving in the Church’s Priesthood and Family Department, where her work shaped programs and curriculum that touched countless lives. She reflects on what each environment taught her about leadership, faith, and connection.

We also talk about Emily’s life as a single professional woman in the Church, her honest reflections on navigating belonging in a marriage-focused culture, and her insights on how openness and vulnerability can create unity in congregations. Later, she opens up about her transition into marriage at 46, becoming a stepmother, and the intentional balance of honoring her husband’s late wife while embracing her new role in a blended family.

Through each chapter of her story—whether in career, singlehood, or family life—Emily emphasizes the power of choosing connection, trusting God’s timing, and embracing your unique path. Her candid reflections offer encouragement and inspiration to women and men alike who are seeking to live with purpose in every season of life.

In this episode, Coach Tom Peterson shares the philosophy that has shaped his life and his players: true success comes when everyone works together.

Tom never believed in the shouting, aggressive style of coaching. Instead, he chose a different path, fostering independence, trust, and self-motivation in his athletes. For him, leadership isn’t about one person shining; it’s about a group achieving something greater together.

With humility, Tom reminds us that sometimes we all need help, whether from our community, our teammates, or the Lord Himself. Because in the end, the real victories aren’t just wins on the scoreboard, they’re the lessons learned in unity, love, and collective effort.

In this episode, Tom Peterson opens up about his and his wife Cheryl’s journey with family and connection.

Though they weren’t able to have biological children or adopt, Tom and Cheryl discovered a different kind of family, one built through coaching, mentorship, and unconditional love. Over the years, the athletes Tom has coached have become like sons to both of them. For Cheryl, whose nurturing heart has always longed for children, the hugs, the “love you’s,” and the bonds formed with these young men have become the sweetest rewards.

This conversation is a tender reminder that God’s plan often unfolds in unexpected ways. And when we choose to embrace love, support, and connection, we may discover that family can be created in places we never thought to look.

In this episode of the What Now Podcast, I sit down with veteran volleyball coach Tom Peterson to explore his remarkable career and the principles that shaped his life’s work. From humble beginnings in Utah, where boys’ volleyball wasn’t yet recognized, Tom carved his own path, eventually leading teams at Penn State, BYU, and Southern Virginia University to national championships.

Tom shares how faith, unity, and a deep sense of purpose guided his coaching philosophy. Whether breaking California’s dominance in men’s volleyball or building programs from the ground up, he focused on more than athletic success—creating family-like bonds through traditions such as weekly family home evenings and teaching his players to grow as men of integrity and faith.

Beyond the victories, Tom reflects on his true legacy: mentoring young men, being a father figure to those in need, and showing that leadership is about building lives, not just winning games. His story is one of vision, heart, and lasting impact both on and off the court.

In my interview with Casey Elliott this week, I shared a story about my Roman Catholic neighbor in Boston, who grew up listening to the Tabernacle Choir on the radio starting back in the 1930s. Though from a different faith tradition, she and her family were deeply moved by the music—it became a part of their spiritual life.
It’s a beautiful reminder that music has the power to transcend religious lines and bring us together as one Christian family. Gentri’s journey reflects that same spirit—music rooted in faith, passion, and a desire to uplift others.
