Liz Darger | Seeing The Divinity In Others

Liz Darger | Seeing The Divinity In Others

Author: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints August 11, 2021 Duration: 49:24
"Our world is really divisive, and it's really easy to think, "How are we going to fix this?" President Nelson has talked to each of us about what we can do to help gather Israel on both sides of the veil, and I believe uniting is part of that. If we each can be more intentional about the relationships in our sphere of influence and seeking to better understand the lived experiences of others, then I think that is how the world changes." Join us this week as we talk with Liz Darger, Young Women Advisory Council member and BYU senior associate athletic director. Liz teaches the importance of understanding and truly believing in our own divinity and the divine identity of others as beloved children of Heavenly Parents. Sharing stories from her involvement in the NCAA Common Ground Initiative, Liz provides concrete ideas for making connections and becoming invested in the lives of friends, neighbors, ward members, and family who may believe or live differently. Offering loving counsel to women who may feel a disconnect from God, Liz shares advice for individuals who are struggling to receive a confirmation of their own divine identity or purpose. Finally, Liz shares her special connection with her grandmother, Arlene B. Darger, who served as the first counselor to Sister Elaine A. Cannon in the general Young Women presidency from 1978-1984.

Within the vast tapestry of faith, individual voices create the most enduring threads. The Latter-day Saint Women Podcast focuses on these voices, weaving together personal narratives and spiritual insights from women across the globe. This isn't a lecture series, but a collection of conversations and stories that feel like sitting down with a thoughtful friend. You'll hear from historians exploring the lives of pioneering women whose choices helped build communities, and you'll listen to contemporary members discuss how they navigate modern challenges with gospel principles. Each episode of this podcast feels grounded and real, addressing topics like resilience, service, discipleship, and personal revelation through the lens of everyday experience. The common thread is a lived faith, presented without pretense. It’s a space for reflection on what it means to be a woman of faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, connecting the legacy of the past with the living testimony of the present. Tuning in regularly, you encounter a diverse chorus of perspectives, each contributing to a richer understanding of spiritual life. The discussions here are meant to uplift, validate, and sometimes gently challenge, always centering on the personal journey within a shared belief. This podcast naturally finds its home in moments of quiet contemplation or daily routine, offering substance and connection.
