- How the temple gives missionaries an actual endowment of power, not just spiritual encouragement
- Why Brett tells parents the goal isn't the mission. It's the relationship with the Savior
- What Brett saw in a generation of missionaries dealing with anxiety and isolation after COVID
- How repentance, not perfection, is what prepares a missionary's heart
- Why "what does love look like here" became Brett's guiding question as a parent and mission leader
- The story of a missionary who found forgiveness after years of running from his past
