About Us

Our Story

In the coming day, you will present yourself before the Savior... His identity, His Atonement, and His attributes will become personal and real to you. But you don't have to wait until then. Choose to be one of His disciples now. Be one who truly loves Him, who truly wants to serve and lead as He did.

Latter-Day Disciples has evolved over the years from social media posts, blogs, editorial articles, to a community of disciples preparing for life in the latter-days and the return of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and sharing the gospel through various platforms, including The Latter-Day Disciples Podcast, and the Honey + Lilies Blog.

Our mission is to help our fellow disciples prepare in all areas of their lives, spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and temporally to meet the challenges ahead with faith and determination fitting true followers of Jesus Christ by following the Spirit, and prophetic council.

Ken and Julie Waddell

Transcribers

Ken and Julie have lived most of their lives in the Pacific Northwest until recently, when they relocated to the mountains of southeast Idaho. They are lifelong members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the parents of twelve children and grandparents to sixteen adorable grandchildren. For both of them, having twelve children was a lifelong dream although neither of them could have anticipated the journey that led them there. Along the way they have had many adventures, one of the most notable being starting a leadership academy with their friends where they mentored classes in math, government, history and Shakespeare as well as served in various positions as board members. This process changed their lives, igniting a passion for seeking truth and standing for freedom. They have buried two adult daughters which has instilled in them an understanding for the purpose of earth life in a way they never expected. Ken and Julie love studying the gospel, playing with their grandchildren and reading. If they aren’t available it’s because they are digging for treasures in an antique bookstore.

Michelle Christensen

Editor of the Latter-Day Disciples Podcast

Michelle grew up on a small farm in Utah County. She has always had a love for Jesus Christ, but had a trauma in her early 30’s that caused her to have a faith crisis. Ultimately, she decided to move forward in the security and love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is her true best friend, her closest ally, her rock on whom she relies.

She is a wife, mother of a large blended family, and most importantly, a fun grandma. Those little ones give her so much joy. She owns her own digital marketing business, and worked for many years in state government. She and her husband live in Elk Ridge, Utah
