Ep 36: Letting God Shape Your Journey || Mason Orr

In this heartfelt episode of Pebbles of Light, Anne sits down with Mason to explore how serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reshaped his faith, confidence, and understanding of Christ’s enabling power.

From learning Japanese culture to discovering the daily influence of scripture study and gratitude, Mason shares deeply personal moments of growth, doubt, and spiritual clarity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The transformation that can occur when you dedicate your time to the Lord
The quiet spiritual power of daily scripture reading
What it means to trust God with your future
Lessons from Japanese culture about gratitude and respect
How the Atonement of Christ changes the way we see ourselves

This Episode’s Pebble
Consider one small daily action that helps you draw closer to God—and commit to it this week. Transformation rarely comes all at once. More often, it begins with something small, faithful, and repeated.
