  • Summary

  • Coming home from a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints can be harder than the mission itself. Each Monday, join Talmage Thayne as he interviews returned missionaries and other guests who share insights and stories of mental health, heartbreak, faith crisis, LGBT issues, loss of purpose, and drastic life changes. Yet, while facing these challenges, our guests have found confidence in God's specific call to adventure for them. So if you're home from a mission or have a friend who has found home life hard, this podcast is for you.

  • From Missionary to Marine: Jackson Paul - Co-Host of The Stick of Joseph.

    From Missionary to Marine: Jackson Paul - Co-Host of The Stick of Joseph.
    Feb 5 2024

    Discover the power of transformation as we share an intimate conversation with Jackson Wayne Paul, a young man from Sandy, Utah, whose life journey took him from the valleys of repentance to the peaks of spiritual insight. In the bustling streets of Lisbon, Portugal, Jackson found his mission and, later, his calling as a United States Marine. His dedication didn't stop there; it blossomed into an endeavor to authenticate the Book of Mormon through his YouTube channel, the Stick of Joseph. We unravel the complexities of returning to everyday life after a mission, the resilience required to face legal issues, and the global pandemic's unprecedented challenges.

    The Stick of Joseph YouTube channel emerges as a beacon of rational discourse, inviting discussions on faith and the pursuit of truth. Jackson's travels to the Middle East to trace the paths of ancient prophets serve as a testament to the depth of his commitment and the tangible evidence supporting his beliefs.
