                <itunes:summary>Justin Barton interviews his niece Aubrey about her 18&#43; months as a missionary, where she served, and how her faith deepened. Aubrey, from Snowflake, Arizona, explains being called to the Temple Square Salt Lake City Mission (Spanish-speaking) and later reassigned for a short outbound experience to the Colorado Springs Mission, finishing March 2026 after starting in November 2024. She shares challenges learning Spanish amid many languages, companions from different cultures, and differences in questions asked by tour groups. In Colorado, facing opposition and unfamiliar proselyting, she admits she lacked a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon and gained it through vulnerability, scripture study, prayer, and fasting. She describes faith as taking risks, learning she isn’t an exception to consequences or God’s love, and choosing surrender and trust in God.

                <itunes:summary>Justin Barton interviews recently returned missionary Lauren Zobell of Mesa, Arizona, who served an English-speaking mission in the Texas Houston Mission from September 23, 2024 to March 10, 2026. Lauren shares how struggles with self-image, anxiety, loneliness, and a painful breakup led her to take “simple” spiritual habits seriously, gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon (especially Alma the Younger), and accept repeated promptings to serve after encouragement from her bishop. She describes lessons from President and Sister McMullen about relying on the Savior’s Atonement, learning to love others through rejection, and strengthening ward members when teaching was slow. Lauren recounts trusting God’s timing in transfers, the challenge of maintaining missionary habits after returning home, the power of temple service, deepened testimony of Joseph Smith and the Restoration, and a conversion story of Don and Joe culminating in their sealing shortly before Don’s death.

                <itunes:summary>Host Justin Barton interviews returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sam Niles about his mission journey and faith. Sam was assigned to the West Virginia Charleston Mission (June 2023), but an illness in February 2024 led to a service mission after he was diagnosed with cancer, had surgery, and underwent nine weeks of chemotherapy (April–June 2024) followed by recovery. Feeling physically better, he returned to West Virginia, but a remission checkup triggered a trauma response and his mission president advised him to finish as a service missionary; he completed his mission in June 2025. Sam describes moments of peace through prayer, a powerful experience of feeling a divine presence in an ER, meaningful service in the temple and community, lessons about loving others, journaling, overcoming perceived stigma, and centering multiple identities around Jesus Christ.

                <itunes:summary>Justin Barton interviews Croft Christensen on the Can You Feel So Now? podcast about his two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, beginning with Spanish training in the Mexico City MTC (Feb–Apr 2024), proselyting in Santiago, Chile (Apr–Dec 28, 2024), and finishing with a service assignment in Spokane, Washington after a hip injury, surgery, and rehab (Dec 2024–Feb 2026). Croft shares his initial peace upon receiving his Chile call, then his struggle, prayer, and fasting as he accepted staying home to serve, drawing on Elder Bednar’s teaching about being called to serve and assigned to a place. He discusses guilt about leaving a trainee, lessons from President Roseland on intentional obedience and serving Christ, differences in accountability as a service missionary, why service missions are equal, and his testimony of scripture study, revelation, Christ’s love, and a change of heart tied to Alma 5:26.

                <itunes:summary>Justin Barton interviews recently returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sarah Kropf about serving in the Indonesia, Jakarta Mission from August 2024 to February 2026, teaching primarily in Bahasa. Sarah shares misreading her call as “Indianapolis,” then learning about Indonesia’s many languages and cultures. She describes early loneliness on Bali with only one native companion and how praying for strength to do “one more day,” focusing on small acts of gratitude, and journaling helped her endure. She discusses developing deeper trust in the Lord, relying on prayer throughout daily interactions, and using charity (Moroni 7) to overcome fear and serve others, including companions. Sarah reflects on learning to live with less, teaching Muslims and Hindus about Christ as Savior, assuming love to avoid offense, and feeling hope that “the best is yet to come,” which she plans to carry into life and a possible future in labor and delivery medicine.

                <itunes:summary>Host Justin Barton interviews returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Spencer Sant from Spokane, Washington, about serving in Madagascar from March 2024 to February 2026, including the mission’s split into North and South and the resulting shortage and rapid influx of missionaries that forced accelerated training. Spencer shares how the Lord provided during difficult leadership and language situations early in his mission, and he emphasizes obedience as essential for having the Spirit and converting others, with logic and the Spirit working together in teaching. He discusses key scriptures (2 Nephi 28:30 and Alma 32), rejecting a “checklist” gospel in favor of continual faith and action, and describes trials with a difficult companion that taught boundaries and Christlike love. Spencer explains how praying in Malagasy deepened his relationship with Heavenly Father, how personal study strengthened his testimony of repentance and the Atonement, how he receives revelation as simple “bings,” and how his mission shaped his goals, especially temple marriage, ending with a Malagasy testimony.

                <itunes:summary>Host Justin Barton interviews Mallory Lybbert about her service in the Washington Spokane Mission in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (set apart June 16, 2024; home Nov. 25, 2025) and the mission emphasis on the Doctrine of Christ—faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end—along with “press forward with steadfastness in Christ.” Mallory describes initially not wanting to serve, feeling prompted to go, and being grateful for a stateside call. She shares how faith became recognizing everyday actions as faith, how prayer deepened through listening for revelation and acting on first promptings (including a lawn-mowing contact who was later baptized), and how enduring became “enjoying to the end” and giving “justice to where you are.” She discusses repentance as ongoing change, lessons on exact obedience (including Mosiah 3:1–4), facing grandparents’ deaths near the end of her mission, and bearing testimony of the Restoration, Joseph Smith, and Jesus Christ.

                <itunes:summary>Host Justin Barton interviews Quinlin Haglund, an endurance athlete and organist from Quaker Hill, Connecticut, about serving in the Adriatic North Mission (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro) for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from June 2023 to June 2025. Quinlin describes learning Slovene in the MTC, serving his first year in Slovenia (including a branch he attended as a child), then transferring to Zagreb, Croatia, to finish his mission while learning Croatian. He shares emotional struggles with comparison and feelings of failure, and how returning to personal prayer, journaling, and keeping “a song in your heart” (especially “Come, Come Ye Saints”) helped him rely on the Lord. He discusses lessons on agency, the Serenity Prayer, mission themes of obedience guided by the Spirit, Omni 1:26 and consecration, and how the Lord used his media and music skills to produce mission content and organize concerts featuring Alex Sharpe from Celtic Woman.

Jamie shares how he served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the California Los Angeles Mission (&#34;CLAM&#34;) from August, 2023 to August, 2025, speaking Spanish after training at the Mexico City MTC. He discusses having two mission presidents who emphasized the doctrine of Christ, what he learned about Latino work ethic (&#34;la chamba&#34;), and how his understanding of daily repentance shifted to turning toward Jesus Christ. Jamie recounts a difficult training assignment with a companion who wanted to go home, and how prayer helped him trust the Lord. He highlights Ether 12 and describes seeing Jesus Christ in the people he served, growing in gratitude and specific prayer, recommitting to temple covenants, ministering, and preparing for future marriage and sealing, then answers Alma 5:26 questions about change of heart and the Song of Redeeming Love.

She served from February 12, 2024 to July 22, 2025, initially reassigned to the Florida Fort Lauderdale Mission for five months while awaiting a visa before going to the Zimbabwe Harare Mission. Charlotte shares how fasting shifted her from trying to change God’s will to aligning with it, how Florida taught her obedience and the reality of missionary work in the U.S., and how her mission deepened her relationship with Christ through prayer and the “daily bread” principle. She testifies of enduring discipleship after returning home, and bears testimony of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon, and eternal families.

Ethan shares how a serious football injury led to a spiritual impression that redirected his life, repentance, and a decision to serve a mission. He discusses learning to rely on Jesus Christ rather than pride, the difference between reading and studying scripture, and how praying, pondering, and obedience shaped his conversion. Ethan recounts facing depression and grief after losing his sister and her children to tragedy during his mission, and explains how being “yoked” with Christ helped him endure. He closes with invitations to prospective missionaries, return missionaries, and nonmembers to seek truth and remember miracles.

He discusses emotional challenges of tying feelings to missionary outcomes, learning to pause rather than react through prayer, repentance, and temple worship, and a baptism incident where he accepted correction. Joshua recounts a prayer answered when a hostile man relented and helped them contact someone. He reflects on the mission theme Joshua 3:5, temple service, healthier living, scriptures Alma 37:15–17 and D&amp;C 82:10, deepened relationships with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, future plans in music and possibly medicine, and a change of heart centered on redemption and trusting God.

                <itunes:summary>Justin Barton interviews newly returned missionary Michael Hazel on the Can You Feel So Now podcast. Michael shares his background and explains that he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Alabama, Birmingham Mission from June 2023 to June 2025, assigned Spanish-speaking for two transfers before serving mostly in English while still using Spanish. He describes being inactive from about age 13 to 25 due to painful experiences and feeling that the Atonement didn’t apply to him, then beginning a spiritual turnaround in 2019 when someone read the Book of Mormon with him daily for 90 days. He discusses the difference between being “lukewarm” versus fully detached, how many small spiritual experiences helped him understand grace and the Atonement as constant help, and why faith and accepting God are choices rooted in agency. Michael emphasizes charity—choosing to love people who are rude, lost, or even threatening—and explains forgiving a bishop he once hated by choosing forgiveness and later feeling peace even when seeing him at the temple. He outlines how consistency comes through daily Book of Mormon study, meaningful prayer as a real conversation with Heavenly Father, and conscientiously partaking of the sacrament, and he shares views on recognizing revelation in everyday ways and repenting as simply turning toward Christ. He recounts being prompted to serve a mission later in life after a branch conference message from his stake president about covenants and bears testimony that following Jesus Christ is always the right decision. Using Alma 5:26, he describes a change of heart as visible in a person’s countenance, defines the “song of redeeming love” as a state of being, and advises his future self to remember the Lord’s tender mercies. He closes with a testimony of Jesus Christ, the reality of spiritual witness, the importance of temple worship and consecrating one’s will to God, and the joy found in the work of salvation and exaltation.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Justin Barton interviews newly returned missionary Michael Hazel on the Can You Feel So Now podcast. Michael shares his background and explains that he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Alabama, Birmingham Mission from June 2023 to June 2025, assigned Spanish-speaking for two transfers before serving mostly in English while still using Spanish. He describes being inactive from about age 13 to 25 due to painful experiences and feeling that the Atonement didn’t apply to him, then beginning a spiritual turnaround in 2019 when someone read the Book of Mormon with him daily for 90 days. He discusses the difference between being “lukewarm” versus fully detached, how many small spiritual experiences helped him understand grace and the Atonement as constant help, and why faith and accepting God are choices rooted in agency. Michael emphasizes charity—choosing to love people who are rude, lost, or even threatening—and explains forgiving a bishop he once hated by choosing forgiveness and later feeling peace even when seeing him at the temple. He outlines how consistency comes through daily Book of Mormon study, meaningful prayer as a real conversation with Heavenly Father, and conscientiously partaking of the sacrament, and he shares views on recognizing revelation in everyday ways and repenting as simply turning toward Christ. He recounts being prompted to serve a mission later in life after a branch conference message from his stake president about covenants and bears testimony that following Jesus Christ is always the right decision. Using Alma 5:26, he describes a change of heart as visible in a person’s countenance, defines the “song of redeeming love” as a state of being, and advises his future self to remember the Lord’s tender mercies. He closes with a testimony of Jesus Christ, the reality of spiritual witness, the importance of temple worship and consecrating one’s will to God, and the joy found in the work of salvation and exaltation.</p><p> </p><p>00:00 Welcome + Meet Michael Hazel (Background &amp; Family)</p><p>01:22 Mission Call: Alabama Birmingham &amp; Spanish-to-English Switch</p><p>03:18 Why He Left the Church (13–25) and What Brought Him Back</p><p>05:19 Lukewarm vs Detached: The Misery of Life Without God</p><p>07:05 Reading the Book of Mormon Daily: Rebuilding a Testimony</p><p>09:05 Atonement Reframed: “Wind at Your Back” + Still Small Voice</p><p>11:30 Sobriety, Agency, and Choosing Faith Over Nihilism</p><p>14:47 Charity on the Mission: Loving the “Lost” and Difficult People</p><p>19:21 Forgiveness as a Choice: Healing from a Hurtful Leader</p><p>22:56 No Gray Area: Doctrine Changes Behavior + Staying Consistent</p><p>27:15 3 Daily Anchors for Spiritual Consistency (Scriptures, Prayer, Sacrament)</p><p>29:01 Your Environment Shapes Your Spirit: Who You Spend Time With</p><p>30:42 Hearing God’s Voice: Recognizing Revelation in Small &amp; Simple Ways</p><p>34:57 When You Can’t Feel the Spirit: Repentance as a Simple Turn to Christ</p><p>37:52 Why Serving a Mission Is Always the Right Choice (And a Life-Changing Story)</p><p>45:50 Alma 5: “Can You Feel So Now?” Change of Heart &amp; Redeeming Love</p><p>48:33 15 Years Later: Remembering Tender Mercies When You Feel Off Track</p><p>49:44 Final Testimony: Choosing Christ, Daily Consecration, and True Joy</p>]]></description>

                <itunes:summary>Justin Barton interviews Emma Pratt, who grew up in Idaho in a large farming family and learned hard work and endurance from long nights driving tractors. She explains how those lessons carried into her mission, especially during a six-week transfer with no people to teach, where she learned to rely on Jesus Christ and see those she spoke with as God’s children. Emma served in the Alabama Birmingham Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from December 2023 to June 2025, felt spiritual confirmation about her call, and describes being strengthened when asked to train a new missionary despite feeling inadequate—overcoming weaknesses in initiating conversations and using scriptures. Alma 26:12 became a key passage for her about doing all things in God’s strength. She shares an experience of God’s hand in a friend who contacted missionaries via Facebook after hitting rock bottom and was baptized soon after changing his life. Emma also reflects on her parents’ divorce at age 13 as a personal rock-bottom that led her to choose the gospel, influenced by her mother’s example of prayer and observing differences between relying on Christ versus other coping methods. The conversation covers her approach to personal revelation through prayer journaling, finding quiet places to pray, and adjusting post-mission to less structure while trying to keep spiritual habits and goal-setting (including the mission “power wheel” and My Plan). Major themes include choosing lasting joy in Christ (including Helaman 5:12), leadership and charity as a sister training leader, repentance as a joyful process of improvement, and integrating consecrated living into everyday work. Emma closes by connecting her change of heart to gathering Israel and preparing for the Second Coming, and bears testimony of Jesus Christ.

She served a Spanish-speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Texas, Dallas West Mission from September 25, 2023 to March 26, 2025, sharing how mission life taught her about companionship, humility, and relying on Christ through serious prayer rather than focusing on baptisms. She discusses the challenge of adjusting after coming home, including missing her “people,” slipping into Spanish slang, and struggling to stay spiritually fed while starting a job and returning to school, emphasizing the need to fight for time with God. Olivia explains that her mission focus was building relationships and helping people know Jesus Christ is for them, regardless of whether they join the church, and reflects on a close friendship with someone she taught but did not baptize. She credits Mission President Ord with helping her keep her personality while serving, and shares a framework he taught: God’s love for us and our love for God as the foundation, leading to the Plan of Salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with other topics as “details.” Olivia recounts being driven to her knees during a difficult period with a companion and finding peace and Christlike love through prayer. She describes learning an eternal perspective partly from the movie Inside Out, and contrasts religion (a way of viewing life) with God (a reciprocated relationship), recalling a strong spiritual confirmation in the temple celestial room during her first endowment. Olivia testifies that God’s love is loud and personal through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, answers the show’s Alma 5:26 theme about change of heart and the “song of redeeming love,” and offers a future reminder to herself to return to prayer and dependence on God. The episode ends with Justin inviting Olivia to bear her testimony in Spanish.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Podcast host Justin Barton interviews Olivia Armstrong, originally from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, now living in Provo, Utah. hobbies like reading, outdoor activities, hammocking, and thrifting. She served a Spanish-speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Texas, Dallas West Mission from September 25, 2023 to March 26, 2025, sharing how mission life taught her about companionship, humility, and relying on Christ through serious prayer rather than focusing on baptisms. She discusses the challenge of adjusting after coming home, including missing her “people,” slipping into Spanish slang, and struggling to stay spiritually fed while starting a job and returning to school, emphasizing the need to fight for time with God. Olivia explains that her mission focus was building relationships and helping people know Jesus Christ is for them, regardless of whether they join the church, and reflects on a close friendship with someone she taught but did not baptize. She credits Mission President Ord with helping her keep her personality while serving, and shares a framework he taught: God’s love for us and our love for God as the foundation, leading to the Plan of Salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with other topics as “details.” Olivia recounts being driven to her knees during a difficult period with a companion and finding peace and Christlike love through prayer. She describes learning an eternal perspective partly from the movie Inside Out, and contrasts religion (a way of viewing life) with God (a reciprocated relationship), recalling a strong spiritual confirmation in the temple celestial room during her first endowment. Olivia testifies that God’s love is loud and personal through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, answers the show’s Alma 5:26 theme about change of heart and the “song of redeeming love,” and offers a future reminder to herself to return to prayer and dependence on God.

                <itunes:summary>Meet Gabe Ellermeier, who recently returned home from the Argentina, Buenos Aires West Mission where he served from November 2022 through November 2024.

Gabe discusses his background, family, and hobbies, and delves into how his mission and upbringing in a mixed family environment have influenced his ability to connect with diverse people. He shares his journey of spiritual preparation for the mission, highlighting practices like prayer, scripture reading, and receiving a patriarchal blessing. Gabe explains how specific scriptural verses and his admiration for the prophetic missionary Ammon guided him. He recounts heartwarming experiences of service that opened hearts and changed perspectives, such as digging a ditch for a family which eventually led the initially uninterested husband to listen to their message. Gabe also reveals the personal challenges he faced halfway through his mission, including anxiety and panic attacks, and how a revelation received by his mission president allowed him to continue his mission with a new assignment. The conversation further explores his life lessons from the mission, the impact of regular scripture study, and the skills he gained. Gabe concludes with thoughts on the unchanging love of God despite human imperfections, his career aspirations, and his strong testimonial, which he shares in Spanish as well.

                <itunes:summary>Meet Tryston Arnold, a recently returned missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in the Texas, Houston South Mission.

In the discussion, Tryston speaks about a time when he felt hopeless during his mission, and he recounts an experience where he had to train a new missionary in an area that seemed unproductive. Initially, Tryston lacked hope, but by acting with faith and trusting his companion, they saw miracles happen. Tryston explains that he sees faith as taking action with expectation, while hope is the belief that things can change. The discussion highlights how having faith, even when feeling hopeless, can lead to positive outcomes.

Some verses of Scripture referenced in this conversation:

Alma 36:3

Alma 7:11-12

Matthew 11:28-30

If you or someone you know and love has very recently returned from their mission and would like to record a similar conversation, please send an email to alma526rm@gmail.com and we will line it up.

Kilimanjaro and other emotional, spiritual, and physical mountains climbed over her time as a missionary.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Verses of scripture referenced in this conversation include:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luke 1:37&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ether 12:27&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mosiah 18:10-11&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Helaman 5:12&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the end, her invitation to just get out and do it.  Don&amp;#39;t do it for yourself, but do it for others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you or someone you love is a very recently returned missionary and would like to do a similar conversation to this, please send an email to alma526rm@gmail.com and we will get it lined up.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have felt a change in your heart through this conversation, and are feeling prompted to &amp;#34;sing&amp;#34; and take action, I invite you to get into action right now and continue with that action, so that when the question, &amp;#34;Can You Feel So Now?&amp;#34; is asked, you can answer with a resounding, YES!&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

                <itunes:summary>A quick introduction to what the Can You Feel So Now project is about.  

*Welcome to the Can You Feel So Now Podcast! I’m your host, Justin Barton, and I’m truly grateful to be here with you today. This podcast is designed to foster meaningful and impactful conversations centered around the experiences of recently returned missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.*

*In each episode, we’ll explore the lessons learned, insights gained, and patterns observed during their missions. We’ll talk about the trials faced and the low spots navigated, along with the convictions that have been changed and strengthened through their service. My hope is that through these discussions, we can inspire feelings of hope, worth, and personal growth, as well as help these remarkable individuals recognize the significant changes they’ve undergone.*

*The Can You Feel So Now Podcast aims to help you remember the feelings from growing a real and personal relationship with God, feelings that inspire enduring, positive changes in our lives. As Alma 5:26 beautifully states, “And now behold, I say unto you… if you have experienced a change of heart, and if you have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can you feel so now?” This powerful question invites us to reflect on our own experiences and the impact they have on our hearts.*

*Throughout this podcast, we will delve deep into the transformative power of faith and service. Each episode will offer a space for reflection, encouragement, and connection. I believe that sharing these stories is vital—not only for the returned missionaries but also for everyone listening. We all have moments of change, times when we’ve felt that redeeming love, and we can draw strength from one another’s experiences.*

*So, whether you’re a returned missionary, someone preparing to serve, or simply someone seeking to deepen your relationship with God, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we will celebrate the joys of faith, acknowledge the challenges, and recognize the profound impact our experiences can have on our lives.*

*Thank you for being here with me today as we embark on this adventure together. I’m excited to explore the stories and insights that will unfold in future episodes!*

*Before we close, just a quick note: Can You Feel So Now is not a production of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The experiences shared here are personal and may not reflect the doctrines or stances of the Church.*

*If you or a loved one are interested in recording a similar conversation, please email us at alma526rm@gmail.com, and we’ll be happy to help! And if you find that you’ve experienced a change of heart from anything shared here today, I invite you to put that inspiration into action—TODAY and every day—so that when you are asked, “Can you feel so now?”, you can respond with an enthusiastic YES!*</itunes:summary>
