Finding Christ

  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • Youtube
  • TikTok

In 2019, I started Finding Christ. It has grown to nearly 350,000 followers through all platforms, and is a place where I share messages of Christ, and journalistic pieces I have recently written.

I am currently an intern reporting  for Church News. It's one of my favorite jobs I have ever had, and I can't wait for you to read some of the articles I have written!

From miles to miracles: Youth saves track coach’s life

Seventeen-year-old Grant Lichfield of Spokane, Washington, looked down at his track coach’s bloodied face, administering chest compressions to keep him alive long enough for paramedics to arrive.

Just five days earlier, Lichfield had sat in a stake youth activity learning how to give CPR.

Senior missionaries lend a hand — and a leg — in Samoa

Like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (see John 5:1-9), Masae Tunavasa of Samoa spent years praying for the chance to walk again after losing her leg.

Thanks to Elder Bracken, a senior missionary for the Church, Tunavasa was able to walk again.

Religious Educator Vol. 25 No. 3 · 2024

I recently had an article published in BYU's Religious Studies Center journal; The Religious Educator. My piece, Expecting More earned a spot on the cover alongside Jared Halverson, Gaye Strathearn, and Elder Dale G. Rebound

I love creating and editing videos. Here are a few I made for a YouTube page I started.

I have had the great opportunity to host dozens of  podcast episodes. Each focused on the Church of Jesus Christ. Some professionally with scholars, some not so professional with friends.

I absolutely love all types of writing. Here are stories I wrote for BYU's Daily Universe.
