The “Why We Believe” podcast hosted by Nathan Gwilliam features stories of faith and conversion from Latter-day Saint artists, musicians, athletes, influencers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, authors, church leaders, entertainers, and other prominent church members.
“Every member has a story of how they came to believe, and those stories have the power to strengthen faith in others,” said Nathan Gwilliam, host of Why We Believe. “The show exists to share those stories as widely as possible and strengthen faith in Jesus Christ.”
The “Why We Believe” show releases 1–2 weekly episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeart, Amazon Music, WhyWeBelieve.com, and other platforms.
