How a Drowning NDE & the Book of Mormon Led to Conversion: Derek Tucker's Story - Latter-Day Lights
Manage episode 442564442 series 3350029
When face to face with your greatest fear, will you listen to God’s “yes”?
From a life-altering near-death experience as a young boy, artist and leatherworker Derek Tucker shares how this profound moment planted the seeds of his faith, completely oblivious to the impact it would have on the rest of his life.
Though it would take years before he fully embraced the Gospel, Derek recounts teenhood and how his struggle to complete a simple task for school echoed the same feelings of helplessness from his near-death experience, ultimately pushing him to seek God’s voice. What began as uncertainty and hesitation turned into a moment of divine intervention, transforming his life and solidifying his devotion to the Church.
Through these pivotal experiences, Derek reflects on how his testimony was shaped, bringing him closer to understanding his true purpose in life. His journey is one of unwavering courage, spiritual obedience, and the incredible blessings that come from fully trusting in God’s “yes”.
