Welcome to Joy in His Service. Today's guests, Ron and Jenny Stutz, know a thing or two about building a Gospel-centered family that lasts. Married for 38 years, they've raised four sons, moved all over the country, and somehow managed to gather all their children and nine grandchildren back to Arizona. In this episode, you'll hear how a couple who met and became friends at a BYU dance at Sundance built a family culture that has carried them through busy careers, frequent moves, and now into a season of temple service and grandparenthood.

We talk about what it really was like to have their first baby by their first anniversary, why they chose to start their family early when so many today are waiting, and how simple habits like family home evening, scripture study, and regular temple attendance shaped their home. Ron and Jenny share powerful stories from nearly two decades each at girls camp and boys camp, miracles in the mountains, priesthood blessings in the wilderness, and moments when youth quite literally had to pray their way off the mountain and learned how to recognize the spirit.

Ron also pulls back the curtain on his years working in church technology, including helping implement the missionary age change, the shift from flip phones to smartphones, and increasing general conferences worldwide reach, plus how he saw the Lord's hand hastening the work in very specific ways. Then we shift to the temple, what they learned as ordinance workers, how serving has changed their daily lives, and how temple covenants became even more real as they sat at the bedside of their parents in their final moments.

At the heart of our conversation is their testimony of Jesus Christ and eternal families. You'll hear Ron's simple conviction that God can make much more out of your life than you can by yourself, if you'll just let him. And Jenny's plea to their posterity and to all of us to choose faith, stay where the spirit is, and live so that families are forever isn't just a motto, but a reality. Stay with us as we talk about youth, missions, ministering, temple service, and what it really looks like to let God prevail in an ordinary Latter-day Saint home.

Today's episode is a conversation with elder and sister George, lifelong Oklahomans who found the gospel as teenagers, raised a hodgepodge family of six children, and now have a bustling posterity of 18 grandchildren, spread mostly across Arizona. After careers that took them through Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, and eventually to the desert, Brother George worked with the FBI and recently retired. They now split their time between caring for a three-year-old grandson and coordinating one of the most quietly powerful efforts in the church, senior service missions.

In our discussion, they'll pull back the curtain on what senior service missions really look like, how one couple can help oversee opportunities across four coordinating councils and 40 stakes, by missions at places like institutes, the bishop storehouse, employment services, and transitional services are every bit as real as proselyte missions, and how surprisingly flexible these callings can be for people still working, caring for family, or juggling other responsibilities. You'll hear stories of an 80-year-old returning to full activity through service.

Our least society president who still spends a day a week at a therapeutic horse ranch and senior missionaries who serve while battling serious health challenges and insist they don't want the blessings to stop. If you have a thought, I'd love to serve, but I can't leave home or I'm too busy or I'm not sure there's a place for someone like me. This conversation might change your mind.

Welcome to Joy in His Service. Today we have an inspiring couple, Courtney and Tyson Davis, who share a remarkable journey of faith, family, and service. You'll hear how their love story began not on a typical date, but through shared church callings at BYU, setting a powerful foundation for their marriage.

We dive deep into Tyson's transformative experience as a bishop and Courtney's candid reflections on the sacrifices and profound growth their family experienced during that demanding time. They'll share how they continue to serve together in youth leadership empowering the next generation and fostering spiritual growth.

From a miraculous encounter in Puerto Vallarta, their revealed God's guiding hand, to their heartfelt advice for parents and youth today, this conversation is packed with insights on how service strengthens testimony and brings abundant blessings. Join us to discover their powerful message for future generations and how putting Christ first truly shapes a life of purpose.
