Can God really do His work through you when your life feels like a total mess? In this powerful episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of the Spiritual Psychology Masterclass) explores what it really means that “God’s work cannot be frustrated”—even by our weaknesses, sins, or failures.

Drawing on the story of Martin Harris and the 116 lost pages, early Church history, and real-life examples from modern disciples, Maurice dives deep into spiritual psychology—the mental and emotional patterns behind fear, shame, perfectionism, and “I’ve ruined everything” thinking. He also shares memorable insights like “the miracle is in the mess” (a phrase coined by Karen Broadhead of Mothers Who Know), and why God often uses our most chaotic, humiliating experiences as the raw material for miracles.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why God’s work cannot be frustrated—even by your worst mistakes

• How to see yourself as a tool in God’s hands, even when life is messy

• The difference between fearing man and trusting God

• How stories like Joseph Smith, Alma the Younger, and early Saints reveal God’s pattern with “professional sinners”

• Why your weakness, failure, or ruined plans may be part of a divine setup

• How to push back against isolation and “I’m the only broken one” thinking

• Practical ways to keep moving toward your mission and calling while everything around you feels chaotic

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I too broken for God to use me?” this conversation is a reminder that you are not disqualified. In fact, your “mess” may be exactly what qualifies you to serve, understand, and rescue others.
