What if a single moment could completely reshape how you see your life and your purpose within it?

In this week’s episode of Latter-Day Lights, Jerald Simon shares his remarkable journey as a composer, author, and lifelong student of faith and creativity. After surviving a traumatic fall from a 100-foot cliff as a child—an experience that erased his early memories and led to years of recovery—Jerald began to view life through a profoundly different lens. That pivotal moment became the foundation for how he approaches challenges, growth, and the quiet decision to keep getting back up, no matter how hard we fall.

Raised in a home where music was a daily discipline, Jerald was surrounded by creativity from a young age. Today, he channels his newfound perspective into music designed to heal and uplift. From composing custom piano pieces for students in real time, to creating meditation and relaxation music layered with organic sounds and intentional rhythms, his work centers on helping others experience peace and positivity. He also shares how he uses music as a spiritual language—shifting keys, tempo, and tone to reflect darkness, light, and transformation.

Through his story, Jerald reminds us that even life’s most disorienting moments can become a source of clarity—and that sometimes, the path forward begins by learning to listen to the music within.
