What helps you stay grounded when spiritual leadership changes or your source of guidance shifts? How do you continue to feel connected to God during seasons of transition?

In this episode, Corrine and Neil open up about navigating the change in leadership after the passing of President Russell M. Nelson, the Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the sustaining of President Dallin H. Oaks as the new President of the Church. They share a rare and uplifting personal experience with President Oaks that completely changed how they viewed him and helped them recognize the deep compassion and Christlike love within spiritual leaders.

Corrine reflects on an earlier chapter of her life when she wrestled with loss and uncertainty and how she learned to trust in God through the teachings of a new Church leader when she needed comfort and hope the most. Neil describes the moment he felt a powerful, personal confirmation from God during a leadership transition and how it shaped his ongoing faith.

Whether you belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or have a different faith background, this conversation is centered on a universal principle. God knows how to guide His children. He provides spiritual leadership, loving nudges, and personal witnesses that help us feel anchored in Him, especially during times of change.
