Divine Delays and Deliverance: Finding God in the Waiting with Ashlyn Miner

In this heartfelt episode of Unlocking Divinity, Ashlyn Miner tells a vulnerable, hope-filled conversation about trusting God’s timing and finding Him in life’s waiting seasons. Ashlyn shares how a lifelong desire to serve a mission collided with unexpected foot and ankle surgeries, reshaping her timeline—and her testimony. Anchored by Isaiah 40:31, she discovered that waiting on the Lord is not passive; it is strengthening, sacred, and deeply formative. 

Emma and Ashlyn reflect on the God of the Old Testament who still rescues today, pointing to Daniel’s courageous “but if not” faith and Alma’s people praying in their hearts. The message? God meets us uniquely but with the same unwavering care. 

Together, they testify that divine delays are not denials, that we can “worship while we wait,” and that as we keep covenants and follow any good thought, we’re guided step by step. If you’re in a holding pattern, this episode will steady your heart: God is in the details, His goodness never runs out, and He’s got your back—today, tomorrow, and every day after.

From Santo Domingo to Provo: Carrying Missionary Fire Into Everyday Life

Returning from a mission does not bring the mission home with you. That is the honest problem at the center of this Unlocking Divinity episode with Susanna Cameron, a Rexburg, Idaho native now living in Provo while studying history at BYU. Her communication style is plain, warm, and self-aware. She says things directly, admits what is hard, and lets small phrases do real work. The episode turns on a quieter question: what happens to missionary fire when the schedule disappears? Back at BYU in January 2025, Susanna found herself in a Provo apartment complex where she knew only one friend and most people already know each other. A Relief Society calling as second counselor gave her a way to know every single girl in her ward, but the deeper lesson was smaller than a calling. She decided that when she saw someone she knew on campus or around town, she was going to say hi. Faith became less about dramatic moments and more about prayer, scripture, ward service, measurable goals, and noticing people on ordinary days. Susanna's Keys for Unlocking Divinity - Say hi to everyone you know - Hold to the basics - Magnify your calling
