About Savory Salt
One Verse, One Thought, Once a Day
Savory Salt is a daily podcast dedicated to scripture reflection. Each episode is short — under 7 minutes — focusing on a single verse or passage, offering a brief thought to carry with you throughout the day.
Based on the invitation in Matthew 5:13 to be "the salt of the earth," Savory Salt aims to help listeners develop daily spiritual nourishment through consistent, focused scripture study. The podcast draws from the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.
What started as a personal practice has grown into a global community — Savory Salt is now heard in 86 countries around the world.
Meet Allen Roberds
Allen Roberds is a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who believes that personal growth rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the foundation of everything.
After serving a mission in Mongolia, Allen returned to work as an ESL teacher in schools across the country — an experience that sparked a lifelong passion for teaching. He earned a History degree from Brigham Young University and later a Master of Education from Stephen F. Austin State University.
Allen spent a decade in the classroom, teaching World History at Cypress Ridge High School in Houston, Texas and later at Brighton High School in Utah. That same love for helping people grow led him into corporate training and coaching, where he has spent over 10 years helping family-run businesses succeed across generations through his company, Intangible Ownership.
Beyond business, Allen served six years as Board Chairman for 100 Humanitarians International, leading humanitarian expeditions in Kenya. He is a father of four amazing girls and has been happily married for almost 25 years.
Savory Salt grew from a simple belief — one Allen borrows from the Japanese concept of kaizen: that getting a little better every day starts with spending time in the scriptures. One verse, one thought, once a day.
