Can You Feel So Now, Spencer Sant?

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. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 00:18 Meet Spencer Sand 01:31 Called to Madagascar 02:21 New Mission Growing Pains 04:28 When the Lord Provides 07:17 Obedience Brings the Spirit 11:24 Logic and the Holy Ghost 12:40 Line Upon Line Faith 21:00 No Coasting After Missions 22:35 Hard Companions and Boundaries 26:27 Praying to Oh Father 28:21 Repentance as a Gift 32:51 Future Plans and the Temple 35:19 Revelation and Bing Moments 38:17 Can You Feel So Now Questions 43:40 Testimony in Malagasy Closing
