Description

When trials get steep and hope runs thin, what keeps you hanging on to faith?

This Sunday, our 5-part “Faith to Stay” miniseries reaches its finale with a candid round-table discussion on “Enduring to the End.” Latter-Day Lights hosts Scott Brandley and Alisha Coakley welcome viral missionary Carter Ellis, and faith-forged father Jon Coakley—to unpack why staying aboard the gospel “ship” matters more than ever.

From Carter’s galvanizing testimony that ignited social-media firestorms, to Jon’s revelation on Christ always walking beside the weary, each story pulls back the curtain on what faith looks like when life won’t let up, why admitting “spiritual fatigue” isn’t failure, and how remembering our divine lineage reframes every setback.

If you’ve ever felt the jaws of doubt closing in—this conversation will remind you that enduring doesn’t mean clinging by sheer willpower; it’s learning to reach back for the Savior who never quits on you.
