In this mini episode of Sisters Latter Day Voices, Clare and Candice talk about falling, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and what it means when life does not go as planned.

Through a story about a serious rock climbing accident and the doctrine of the Fall of Adam and Eve, they explore why pain and opposition are part of mortality and how the Fall was not a mistake but a necessary step in God’s plan.

This episode is a reminder that falling is not failure. It is part of living, growing, and finding joy through Jesus Christ.

In today’s episode, we explore the idea of values and how they shape our identity, our decisions, and how we experience trials. Drawing from both modern psychology and the gospel of Jesus Christ, we talk about why simply naming values is not enough and why the order we place them in matters.

We discuss how Christ centered values bring clarity, peace, and direction, especially when good things compete, and why identifying ourselves first as children of God changes everything.

As a new year begins, Clare and Candice reflect on New Year goals and resolutions through the story of the children of Israel crossing the Jordan River in Joshua chapters three and four. They discuss how faith requires action, why the Lord invited His people to pause and remember before moving forward, and how the stones of remembrance can help guide our personal growth. This mini episode is an invitation to look back on where God has helped us, recognize what we’ve learned, and move forward into the new year with faith, intention, and grace.

In this week’s mini episode, Candice shares the story of a famous artist through his own words, exploring faith, failure, calling, and the long road to becoming who God intended him to be. Through twelve powerful quotes and moments from his life, we see a man who deeply loved God, struggled to find his place in the world, and never stopped seeking purpose.

This episode is a reminder that our path may not look like we expected, that setbacks do not mean we are forgotten, and that God can use our passions, even unexpected ones, to bless others. Whether your calling feels unclear or your efforts feel unseen, this conversation invites us to trust that God directs our paths, often one small step at a time.

This week on Sisters with Latter-day Voices, we’re joined by Sister Sarah Wilding, now currently serving as a missionary. This episode was recorded before she left, while she was still in the thick of preparing for her mission and navigating a really hard season.

Sarah opens up about illness, unmet goals, and learning to trust God when things don’t turn out the way you hoped. She shares a powerful story about pushing a stone and climbing a ladder, and how God cares less about the outcome and more about who we become along the way.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or like they’re doing everything right and still not seeing results. If you’re preparing for a mission, or just trying to keep going when the climb feels heavy, this one’s for you.

In this mini episode, Candice shares four simple ways she is approaching Christmas with more peace this year. After a stressful holiday season last year, she wanted to focus on budgeting wisely, simplifying traditions, keeping Christ at the center, and being proactive about creating meaningful moments.

They also share a touching missionary story that beautifully captures the spirit of the season.
