Where We Gather: Scripture Insights from Modern Day Disciples
The Where We Gather podcast was created to help you draw closer to the Savior through personal scripture study, meaningful conversations and simple acts of faith.
Audra Elkington is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The stresses of life and sincere questions piled up and she spent 6 years away from the church. Since returning to full participation in her mid-30s, Audra has rebuilt her testimony from the ground up. She stripped away all the questions and cultural concerns and started with learning about and nurturing a relationship with the Savior.
Audra has a deep desire to help others learn more about Jesus Christ and His doctrine. The gospel, as laid out by the Savior, is for everyone who is willing to turn toward Him and follow His teachings. This is the core of the gathering of Israel. The Savior is where we gather.
Audra has been featured in LDS Living's This is the Gospel, Time Out for Women and has been a guest on several podcasts. She has also taught at FSY, Online Institute, and SALT Gathering. Audra is a graduate of Brigham Young University.

Where We Gather: Scripture Insights from Modern Day Disciples
6 - Finding Confidence to Do Big Things: Where to Look First
If you’ve ever felt nudged to do something outside your comfort zone, this episode is for you.
We explore what Nephi does when the Lord asks him to do something that seems bigger than what he is capable of. Along the way, we’ll connect his experience to your own efforts to look to Christ, increase your faith through action, and find joy in doing things the Lord’s way even if it doesn’t make sense yet.
You’ll also hear a personal story from my own life about a time I followed a prompting that didn’t come with clear instructions. Spoiler: I have no regrets.
Whether you’re wrestling with self-doubt, waiting for more clarity, or wondering where that crazy thought came from in the first place - you can learn from Nephi's example.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to use scripture stories as a blueprint for your own life
- Why your unique gifts matter in the Lord’s work
- How to grow in confidence before the Lord
No matter how big the task may seem, you don’t have to do it alone.
This is your invitation to light the world in your own way.
