Religious Christian Music Composer Reveals Divine Faith Journey

What happens when a struggling LDS musician sits down at a church piano and receives one of the most beloved sacred songs ever written? Roger Hoffman's faith journey as a BYU employee turned acclaimed LDS composer seemed impossible until divine intervention changed everything. In this episode of the Why We Believe with host Nathan Gwilliam, discover the miraculous testimony behind "Consider the Lilies" and the exact moment when both music and lyrics flowed through him at his ward's piano. Roger shares the leap of faith that led him and his wife Melanie to leave steady employment, the mysterious grocery deliveries that appeared on their doorstep, and the $50 bills that would magically appear in his pocket after church. Roger reveals the divine partnership behind decades of LDS sacred music creation, including Scripture Scouts and collaborating on "Gethsemane." His story proves that when we trust God's timing, our greatest struggles often become our most beautiful testimonies and lasting legacies.
