Ever since President Nelson urged members to “ stretch beyond your current spiritual ability to receive personal revelation” I have felt a desire to do just that.

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast. Prayer is tricky right? On one hand we are told that we need to ask to receive.

I felt like all I needed to do was ask a...
