Hosts David Mickelson and Kori Andrews welcome Shad Anderson to the season one finale. Shad shares the story of his mother, Glenda, on the 20th anniversary of her passing. He describes her as a "rock solid" foundation who raised six boys with a "fiery" personality and unwavering faith. Glenda’s influence was defined by her directness and her constant efforts to keep her sons on the "bus" toward their spiritual goals.

The family faced a "bombshell" when Glenda was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Despite a six-month prognosis, she passed away just three weeks later. Shad recounts the sacred experience of teaching seminary immediately after receiving the news and the powerful realization at the funeral home that his mother’s body was merely a mortal shell, as her spirit lived on.

Shad reflects on the "veil-thin" experiences of the first year, including feeling his mother’s presence and blessing during his father’s remarriage. He testifies that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can find peace in the reality of the resurrection. His story serves as a witness that God’s plan is "fabulous" and that our loved ones remain intimately involved in our lives.
