#12: Spiritual Strengthening with Steven L. Olsen

Steven shares so many parables of his discoveries throughout his years of work for the church. He shares some great insights on how to use fear and doubt for growth and progression, how to turn obstacles into stepping stones, and how to better understand how the Lord tests us and helps us grow.

For the past three decades he has filled various professional and administrative positions with the LDS Church History Department in Salt Lake City, including senior curator and managing director.
