Tribe of Testimonies
The Book of Mormon, a scripture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, describes two peoples: Lamanites and Nephites. After a last great battle, the Nephites were destroyed from the face of the earth. The remnants of the Lamanites are among the ancestors of today’s North American Native Americans. Andrea Hales (Navajo), the host of Tribe of Testimonies, interviews faithful Native American Latter-day Saints of tribes across the U.S. and Canada to learn how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has influenced their lives. Everyone’s story is different—conversions, families, missions, educations, careers, talents, achievements, failures, trials. As we share our stories, maybe we can strengthen each other. May we all walk in beauty. // This podcast is not sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, we love the Church.

One of the gifts of the Spirit that I never thought about until someone pointed it out to me is "being vulnerable." Yah, yah, I know there's this whole vulnerable thing that a famous Ms. Brown talks about. But actually being vulnerable is an act of courage, and in Cindy Quinney's case, an act of love for the Savior. She talks multiple times about different ways she has learned vulnerability. The thought just came to me that vulnerability = a broken heart and a contrite spirit. That's it! Cindy has learned to have a broken heart and a contrite spirit through scripture study, through being willing to follow the Spirit, and through repentance. I'm sure I'm missing some too. But man, I love Cindy and want to follow her. And I know she's trying to follow the Savior. I think that's good company to be in.
