Professional MMA Fighter Westin Wilson Shares Spiritual Lessons Learned in the Cage
Professional MMA fighter Westin Wilson shares how listening to the Holy Ghost transformed his UFC career and what martial artists can teach us about spiritual discipline. From getting his first calling to teach self-defense at girls camp to receiving a prompting at a gas station that led to his UFC debut, Westin reveals how staying in tune with the Spirit opened doors he never expected.
In this episode of Why We Believe with host Nathan Gwilliam, Westin discusses three lessons from the cage that changed his faith: why your spiritual coach matters more than your technique, how small and simple repetitions build both knockouts and testimonies, and why true freedom comes through commandments rather than breaking them. After serving a mission in Rochester, New York, surviving a devastating loss in Shanghai, and building a software career alongside his fighting, Westin shows how enduring to the end means getting back up when doors slam shut. His story proves that whether you're cutting 30 pounds in three weeks or raking leaves in a suit as a missionary, God uses our disciplined efforts to prepare us for opportunities we can't yet see.
