How Seeking God Completely Changed My Life!

Today's episode is extra special to me because I get to sit down with someone near and dear to my heart—my second oldest daughter, Amy McVeity.

You know, as a dad and as someone who has spent years seeking to walk closely with Christ, it’s a beautiful thing to witness how the Savior works in the lives of those we love. In this episode, Amy opens up about her journey—how she’s faced life’s toughest challenges and discovered the peace that only Christ can bring. From being a missionary in Belgium to navigating personal health crises, and everything in between, Amy shares how turning to the Savior in every trial has shaped her life.

About the Guest:

Amy McVeity is a woman of many roles—a homeschooling mom of three, holistic practitioner, returned missionary, and above all, a disciple of Jesus Christ. Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Amy specializes in holistic massage, craniosacral therapy, and other healing practices. Her spiritual journey is one marked by a deep-rooted faith, forged through trials and trust in the Lord’s timing. In this episode, Amy opens up about the moments in her life when Christ’s invitation to “take my yoke upon you” became not just words, but a lifeline.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

What I love most about this conversation is how real and raw it gets. Amy doesn’t shy away from the tough questions—like why the Lord allows us to go through such difficult experiences, or how to keep faith when life doesn’t go according to plan. She shares deeply personal stories, like being deported while pursuing her education, wrestling with health issues as a holistic practitioner, and facing unexpected changes in her family’s faith journey. Yet, through all of this, Amy has learned that when we truly seek the Savior, He doesn’t just fix our problems—He transforms us in the process.

• Faith Through Trials: Amy delves into her life’s journey, and how those hardships pushed her closer to Christ. Instead of becoming bitter, Amy used these experiences to deepen her relationship with the Savior, finding solace in scripture and personal prayer.

• Letting Go of Control: One of the most powerful lessons Amy shares is the importance of letting go of our own agendas. From being deported during her university studies to facing unexpected health crises, Amy reveals how surrendering to the Lord’s will allowed her to find peace in the midst of uncertainty. “It’s not about being a good person,” she says, “but about allowing the Lord to guide you step by step.”

• Daily Practices of Seeking Christ: Amy provides a glimpse into her daily routine of seeking Christ, emphasizing how small, consistent efforts—like prayer and scripture study—can lead to profound spiritual growth. “It’s about exercising a particle of faith every day,” she says, “and inviting the Spirit to guide you through the words of scripture.”

• Christ as Our Anchor: Drawing upon scriptures like Helaman 5:12, Amy explores the metaphor of Christ as our anchor in the storms of life. She breaks down how we can remain steadfast amid the "mighty winds and whirlwinds" of modern-day challenges, offering practical insights into staying spiritually grounded.

• The Power of Stillness and Reflection: Amy encourages listeners to take time to reflect on their day and ask, “Where is the Savior in my life right now?” She shares personal experiences of how the Lord has shown up in unexpected ways, proving that when we actively seek Christ, we are never truly alone.

This conversation isn’t just a testimony; it’s a deep dive into what it really means to take Christ’s yoke upon us and let Him guide our path. Amy’s experiences are a testament to the fact that when we seek Christ with all our hearts, He comes through in ways we could never imagine.

Amy’s words are a beautiful reminder that life’s most difficult moments are often where we find the deepest spiritual growth. She eloquently states, “The miracle is not always in the change of our circumstances, but in the change within us through Christ.”

One of the most profound moments in this episode comes when Amy reflects on her own health crisis, where she learned that despite the challenges, “It’s the Savior’s strength we rely on. It’s His will in our life that leads to peace.”

This episode is packed with practical, faith-centered insights that will inspire anyone who is seeking a deeper connection with Christ. Amy’s life is a testimony of how even the smallest particle of faith can anchor us to the Savior’s love and guidance, no matter what storms we face.
