Ep 072: Jackie Coleman-Faldmo on Music, Ancestry, and the Language of the Spirit

🎻 Tuning the Heart to Hear God

What if hearing God was less about learning something new… and more about tuning what you already have?

Jackie Coleman-Faldmo has spent her life surrounded by music. From violin at age five to decades performing with the Orchestra at Temple Square, her world has been shaped by sound, discipline, and devotion. But her testimony didn’t come automatically just because she was raised in the gospel.

In her early twenties, Jackie realized she needed to know for herself. Drawing from what she understood best, she likened faith to music: just as an instrument must be carefully tuned to play in harmony, our hearts and spirits must be tuned to recognize the Holy Spirit.

That sensitivity deepened as she began exploring her genealogy after receiving her patriarchal blessing. Discovering her pioneer heritage and uncovering connections to ancestors—and even strangers who turned out to be family—changed the way she saw God’s hand in her daily life. Through tender spiritual moments, unmistakable “coincidences,” and even feeling her mother’s passing, Jackie came to understand the Spirit as a language she had been learning all along.

To her, the Spirit speaks the way a violin sings—quiet, precise, and unmistakable when you know how it feels.

As you listen to this episode, ask yourself: What helps me tune my heart to the Spirit?
