What do you do when your mother’s voice is silenced—but her words refuse to be forgotten?

In this week’s episode of Latter-Day Lights, we sit down with sisters Jessie Lake and Molly Johnson, whose mother was tragically killed as a result of domestic violence.

Years later, while unpacking old boxes, they uncovered something extraordinary—eight beautifully written children’s stories she had finished before she died. What began as heartbreak has now become a mission to publish her work, share her light, and help other families heal.

Their story isn’t just about loss—it’s about courage, faith, and finding purpose in the unthinkable. You’ll hear how these two women turned silence into strength, grief into growth, and pain into a platform for awareness and hope.

It’s one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had—and by the end, you’ll see that sometimes, the light we lose is the same light that guides us home.

When life seems to unravel all at once, will you trust that God is still knocking on your heart?

In this deeply moving episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott and Alisha sit down with lifelong Latter-Day Saint—Tiffaney Castañeda—as she shares her remarkable journey of faith through unimaginable trials and unmistakable miracles.

From her daughter’s near-fatal battle with autoimmune hepatitis, down to the sudden and unexpected passing of her youngest daughter, every step of Tiffaney’s story reveals the Lord’s hand at work in the details. Through moments of heartbreak, healing, and grief, Tiffaney’s experiences testify that miracles are not reserved for scripture—they unfold quietly in hospital rooms, on long drives, and in the smallest tender mercies that remind us we are never alone.

Through it all, Tiffaney testifies that God not only hears our prayers, but speaks to us in the quiet moments when we need Him most. Her story is one of courage, surrender, and the kind of faith that endures through both the good and bad—a reminder that even in our darkest hours, the Lord keeps His promises.

Is it ever too late to come home to Heavenly Father?

When life’s pressures nearly consumed her, Aisha Jermy reached a breaking point that affected her emotionally, physically, financially, and, most importantly, spiritually. But through one unexpected encounter on an airplane, she discovered the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. And from that moment on, everything changed. In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Aisha shares how joining the Church in her 50s helped her find peace, healing, and a renewed purpose.

Now an author and coach, her story teaches us that it is never too late to find Christ, and that we are welcome into His arms at any stage of life. Because of this belief, Aisha was baptized well into mid-life, and would then go on to use her books and testimony to help others on the path of faith. Aisha also opens up about her darkest seasons of loneliness, relational struggles, grief, and the tender mercies God sent to reshape both her heart and mind.

Tune in for a story of vulnerability, endurance, and divine grace. Whether you’re walking through trials or simply seeking a deeper spiritual connection, Aisha’s testimony will uplift you and remind you that it’s never too late to start over.
