In this inspiring episode of the Star 3rd Ward Podcast, we sit down with David and Kim Hershey to hear the remarkable story of how two very different paths came together in a journey filled with love, laughter, and faith. From a blind date that almost didn’t happen to the challenges of military life, raising five children, and experiencing both heartache and healing, David and Kim open up about the highs and lows that shaped their life together.
David shares his experience as a Marine during Desert Storm, his transition into civilian life, and how a chance invitation to church changed everything. Kim reflects on being a young single mother, her testimony of the gospel, and how her children helped guide her back to Christ. Their story also touches on deep loss, career shifts, public service, and the quiet strength of enduring faith.
With humor, honesty, and warmth, the Hersheys show what it means to move forward—together—through life’s unexpected turns. This episode is a celebration of second chances, spiritual growth, and the power of love grounded in commitment and community.
