The Gift of Creativity and Finding Your Voice: Fay Klingler's Story - Latter-Day Lights

How do we recognize the gifts God has given us, especially when fear, grief, or self-doubt make them hard to see?

In this week’s episode of Latter-Day Lights, award-winning author and illustrator—Fay Klingler—shares a heartfelt conversation about creativity, spiritual promptings, and learning to trust the quiet ways Heavenly Father guides our lives. From writing bestselling books and raising a blended family of 12 children, to navigating the painful loss of her husband, Fay reflects on how God continues to shape and refine her purpose through every season of life.

Fay also opens up about her lifelong struggle with music and performance anxiety, despite receiving a patriarchal blessing that promised her the gift of music. With this, she shares the journey that inspired her children’s book “Finding Rena’s Voice,” as well as her current experience adapting to profound hearing loss and cochlear implants—all while continuing to fight for the ability to sing again.

Her story is a moving reminder that our gifts are often meant to be cultivated over time, and that God can continue calling us to grow, create, and serve at any age. Stay tuned to learn how you can use your talents to bless others and ourselves, even when they feel inconvenient or impossible.
