Summary

** Trigger Warning. This episode talks about suicide. If you are suicidal, please call, test, chat 988 ** My friend Seth Price (Canadian, Age 20, Service Missionary) joins us to bravely share his story. Seth talks about dealing with and then accepting being called on a service mission (finished July 2024) when he always wanted to serve a proselyting mission. Seth talks about learning how to accept his circumstances because of his desire to serve Christ and help others come unto Christ and feel His love and acceptance. Seth talks about how he learned “he is not meant to fit the mold” and how that allows him to help love and support others—and help them find Christ. Seth talks about his journey to accept being gay through middle school and high school (including times when he went back in the closet given the reactions of others). Seth talks about his hopes for the future and his love of our Savior. Seth also talks about his brother Kaleb who died of suicide in 2022 and how he is navigating losing his brother. I am so impressed with the spiritual maturity of Seth, his commitment to doing good, and his love of everyone (Seth’s Facebook profile says “God has never met a person He did not love”). It is people like Seth that give me hope for the future of our Church and society. Thank you, Seth, for being on the podcast—you are a good man. You have a great life ahead of you!

0:09.4	I had a couple good experiences, listeners.
0:12.7	Today I saw an E&T that I hadn't met before, and he was just a terrific doc.
0:17.9	And as I left and said goodbye, then he caught me in the hallway
0:21.4	and just realized he recognized my voice and name from the podcast and just was grateful for
0:27.1	the podcast. And a couple months ago, I placed a call to a consumer outfit in Florida.
0:33.7	And same thing happened. An LDS man answered the phone and recognized my name and voice.
0:39.2	And that makes me happy, but it really makes me happy because they're listening to my guest stories.
0:44.8	It's not really me that makes this podcast go.
0:48.4	I feel like just a facilitator for brave people like my guest today.
0:53.2	But I'm grateful that people are listening to podcasts and find it helpful to them.
0:58.3	My guests have certainly helped me to better understand how to support everybody as we try

1:05.2	With that said, let me introduce our guest.
1:07.5	Our guest today is Elder Seth Price.
1:10.6	I'm calling him Elder Seth Price because he just
1:12.3	finished his service mission. Thank you for your service and your courage to serve and all the
1:19.7	lives you bless. So Seth is Canadian. We've had a few Canadian guests on the podcast. Seth is 20.
1:26.8	He lives in Edmonton, spent some time growing up
1:29.3	in Leffbridge. I'm more familiar with Leffbridge than Edmonton. He's going to share his story as a
1:34.7	gay Latter-day Saints. So he's going to, and I'll read a little bit of some of the communication
1:39.6	we've had. I'll be honest. It's a little intimidating about being so open and vulnerable,
