Box Elder County Commission Chair, Stan Summers is no stranger to hard work and service. As a farm boy turned political force he is eager to roll up his sleeves, which he admits has his heart on them, and help neighbors and strangers alike. As a family man, his life has been touched by the rare illness that his son Talan fights, his wife’s medical issues, family sorrow, and more. But even amid trials, he has a secret he has learned, to buoy up not only others but himself by loving others. While he knows that sometimes the greatest faith doesn’t move mountains, he will follow the example of his son Talan, and never give up the fight! 

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
