What if you had a front-row seat to literally watch the Spirit of Elijah sweep across the earth?
In this powerful episode of Latter-day Lights, we sit down with Rachel Crump Mathews, a devoted disciple, Relief Society president, and one of the inspired leaders behind the global RootsTech conference.
What began as a temporary job over a decade ago soon became a sacred calling—one that placed Rachel on the front lines of helping to grow and expand the Church's family history and genealogy efforts.
With humility and deep spiritual insight, Rachel shares how she followed promptings, overcame uncertainty, and witnessed miracle after miracle as RootsTech grew from a small Utah-based event into a worldwide movement - helping millions connect to their ancestors.
If you’ve ever wondered whether the Lord is truly directing His work in these latter days—this story will leave no doubt.
