Show Notes
At the world’s largest family history conference, RootsTech, we set up a small recording space and invited people to answer a simple but powerful question:
What did life teach you the hard way?
Three people stopped, sat down, and shared reflections from their lives.
Angie Shumway shares how a devastating health crisis and a memory from her military service taught her the importance of taking the next step, even when the road feels impossible.
Jeff Spencer reflects on growing up in poverty, learning resilience, and discovering that humility may be one of life’s greatest superpowers.
Sharon Faith Welch shares a lesson about family, loss, and living intentionally so that we don’t carry regret for the moments we didn’t take.
These are just a few of the voices we encountered on the RootsTech floor—reminders that wisdom often comes from the hardest experiences.
In This Episode• Angie Shumway — Just take the next step
