The Summers family on finding healing comfort by trusting God’s plan amid continuing medical trials

As Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles declared in his April 2022 general conference talk, “No matter what our mortal experience may entail, we can trust God and find joy in Him.” This episode of the Church News podcast features a Latter-day Saint family from Box Elder County, Utah, who have found healing comfort in serving others and trusting in God's plan amid personal trials and debilitating illness. Stan and Jennifer Summers' lives have been altered by their son Talan’s illness, Jennifer's recent medical issues and other sorrows. The Summers have found joy by serving in the Church and their community and by sharing their testimonies of the restored gospel of Christ.
