  • Our Favourite Miracle Stories From The Global Church - Rachel Uda Murdock | 150

    Our Favourite Miracle Stories From The Global Church - Rachel Uda Murdock | 150
    Jul 12 2026

    In this 150th episode, I speak with Rachel Uda Murdock, who is the creator behind the viral social media platform called “RachelLDSStorytime.” I wanted to chat with her about the unexpected insights she has gained while sharing the global history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in bite-sized, three-minute segments that uncover powerful and often unknown, faith-building accounts of members of the Church from every corner of the earth. Rachel turned a personal spiritual prompting into a thriving, multi-platform ministry that brings hidden global histories to light.

    We explore the deep spiritual resonance behind the global church, the vital role that storytelling plays in simplifying complex gospel doctrines, and the inspiring accounts of ordinary Latter-day Saints whose unwavering faith produced extraordinary miracles.

    Some highlights from this episode include:
    Celebrating 150 Episodes:     Reflections on the journey of For All The Saints so far. From broadcasting out of the historic Downham countryside for episode 100 to exploring a shared kinship with Rachel over the profound impact of global storytelling.

    The Global Breakthrough of LDS Storytime: Rachel shares the organic, faith-led origin of her platform, detailing how she felt called to counter online negativity by shifting the digital focus away from localized cultural tropes and toward the inspiring reality of a truly international church.

    The Miraculous Foundations of the Church in Ghana: A deep dive into the inspiring story of Joseph William Billy Johnson, who spent 14 years gathered with ten unbaptized congregations in Ghana prior to the 1978 “all worthy male” priesthood revelation, anchored only by a single copy of the Book of Mormon and profound personal visions.

    Betrayal and Faith in 19th-Century Hawaii: The gripping historical account of the Hawaiian Latter-day Saints on the island of Lanai who were defrauded by the enigmatic Walter Murray Gibson, providing a powerful modern lesson on maintaining a testimony of the gospel even when church leaders fail.

    The Heavenly Translation of the Thai Princess: Revisiting the remarkable experiences of Srilaksana Suntarahut, the royal Thai translator who overcame severe spiritual opposition and witnessed miraculous manifestations while translating the Book of Mormon into her native tongue.

    A Milestone Invitation: To celebrate the 150th episode, a special challenge for listeners to actively push back against digital noise by using the "town square" of social media to speak out, verbalize gratitude, and share personal moments where they have witnessed God's hand in their life and how it has blessed them.

  • Gospel Insights From Running 42 Marathons in 42 Days - Benji Wilkins | 149

    Gospel Insights From Running 42 Marathons in 42 Days - Benji Wilkins | 149
    Jul 5 2026

    Benji Wilkins has an inspirational and truly remarkable experience that needed to be told in the moment. His incredible story involves the physical and mental journey of running 42 marathons in 42 days across the UK. In his own words, “I’m not an elite athlete. I like to run, but I’m not winning any races. In 2025 I ran maybe 30 miles a month! I’m not the fastest runner you’ll meet, and I’m definitely not the most experienced. What I am, is stubborn.”

    He set out on this grueling challenge from John o' Groats to Land's End to raise vital funds and awareness for multiple sclerosis. Driven by a deeply personal cause, Benji undertook this self-imposed suffering to support his mother, who has been living with MS for over a decade.

    We discuss the brutal physical toll of running a marathon every day, the powerful mind-body connection required to endure when the body wants to quit, and the profound spiritual insights Benji gained about the power of community, daily discipleship, and what it truly means to "endure to the end."

    Some highlights from this episode include:

    • Current Progress and the Physical Toll: Benji shares firsthand stories from the road on day 33, detailing the extreme fatigue, the shifting landscape as he moves south, and the bizarre experience of running a full marathon in a pair of jeans.
    • The Liquid Calorie Strategy: From downing maple syrup to mixing specialized carbohydrate shakes, Benji explains how he forces thousands of calories into a body that completely loses its appetite after a long day of running.
    • The Mind-Body Connection: A fascinating deep dive into the mental strategy Benji used to communicate with his own body early in the challenge, repeating the mantra "adapt or die" to overcome early threats of runner's knee and hip strain.
    • Ministering Angels in Vans: Benji details the incredible, unexpected acts of kindness from friends, family, and strangers who showed up out of nowhere—including a friend who travelled 13 hours to run in a pair of Vans—to sustain him during his darkest miles.
    • Understanding Multiple Sclerosis: A moving discussion about his mother's decade-long battle to receive an MS diagnosis, how the autoimmune disease impacts the nervous system, and the daily, hidden physical challenges that require true, permanent resilience.
    • The True Meaning of Endurance: Benji reflects on the gospel principle of endurance, sharing how true endurance isn't just about gritting your teeth through self-imposed suffering, but about finding a higher purpose, relying on the "tender mercies" of the community, and allowing the experience to refine the human spirit.
