Today I'm excited to share a conversation with Jody Corbett, a remarkable woman whose life beautifully weaves together faith, family, and professional service.

Jody grew up in St. George, Utah, surrounded by an incredible extended family of 59 first cousins - a testament to the strong pioneer heritage that shaped her early years. After earning her English degree from BYU, she ventured to the Arizona desert for law school at the University of Arizona, where she not only earned her law degree but also met her future husband.

For over two decades, Jody has built an impressive legal career specializing in government liability defense, representing the City of Phoenix in cases ranging from everyday slip-and-falls to complex police litigation. Three years ago, she transitioned from private practice to serve as an Assistant City Attorney, where she continues to advocate for one of the nation's largest cities while helping shape policy to prevent future legal challenges.

But what makes Jody's story particularly compelling is how her analytical, evidence-based legal training has intersected with her journey of faith. As a mother of four and current Relief Society President, she's learned to balance her natural inclination to seek empirical proof with the need for spiritual faith - a tension that has ultimately strengthened both her professional confidence and her testimony.

In our conversation today, Jody opens up about her testimony's foundation, the parallels between being an advocate in court and Christ's role as our advocate, and the profound lessons she's learning about ministering and building community in her current calling. She also shares a powerful message about faith, family challenges, and the Savior's constant invitation to find our way back to Him.
