In this episode we were privileged to have Kurt Francom on the show from Leading Saints to talk with us on the sensitive topic of the rise of members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints deciding to leave or take a step back from the church. We talked about what our role is as leaders and friends when this situation arises, and how we ourselves as active members can stay in the church even through our crisis of faith. So many wonderful and interesting insights, and we hope you find something to take away from it! We definitely did!

A few weeks ago our Stake President asked us how we access the atonement of Jesus Christ. We gave some heartfelt answers and then spent the next several weeks being instructed by the spirit how we could better answer that question in the future. Let us know how you would answer this question!
In this episode we discuss something that has been in our thoughts and hearts really since the pandemic started in 2020 and that is— HOPE. What is it? What does it mean to have a perfect brightness? What does hope look like for us? How do we get more of it? And so on.
Also! Our friends Braeden and Bonnie Hayes over at Liberty Youth Academy started a podcast called Abide in Liberty so when you’re done listening to this episode click the link below to visit theirs!

Woohoo! We made it to seven years of marriage! We talk today about some of our lessons from the past seven years and why Emily is so good at marriage. I mean She is basically perfect, drop dead gorgeous, and next level spiritual. How could she not be an awesome spouse?1?1
We sat down this week with Andrew’s maternal grandparents who just celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary! They share insights into the struggles young Latter-day Saint couples faced when they were first married and the things they did to overcome them. They then talk about how those lessons can benefit us today.
Grandma also shares about a time she felt “like an elephant was crapping on (her) head” and grandpa’s witty response that has still remained a catch phrase in their marriage decades later.
These great people are leaving a spiritual legacy and inheritance that is currently and will continue to bless their descendants throughout the eternities. We LOVE them and this episode.
Sometimes when world, national, or local news, or even our own lives get heavy and stressful all we want to do is scoop up our little family and escape into the woods somewhere and not associate with anyone. We have been calling this the "bunker mentality." As enticing as this seems, we know deep down that it isn't what Heavenly father would want us to do. When you're in a bunker, you can't project light or peace or faith, or anything. You're fear based. When you create an outpost mentality, your living a faith based life. We can live IN the world and not OF the world.

We LOVED having Bonnie and Braeden on this episode to discuss the importance of standing in holy places, what it REALLY means to put on the armor of God, and combatting some misconceptions that people have about private and home school education.

Liberty Youth Academy is a private school started by a Latter-day Saint family in St. George to be a holy place of learning through the lense of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They now have a second location in Sahuarita, Arizona and are hoping to continue to grow! In this episode we discus the why and how of their school, and some principles of agency and dive into the American constitution, Braeden’s passion.

Don’t mind us as I (Emily)word vomit all of my takeaways from the homeschool conference I attended last week. The Latter Day Saint Home Educator Conference was absolutely incredible. We have been homeschooling for just one year and this conference provided me with a plethora of new ideas, encouragement, confidence, and connections and friends. I loved it so much and just didn’t know quite how to share everything with you here. All of my conference highlights can be found on Instagram!
Thank you so much for listening today! If you loved what you’re hearing on the podcast, we would love it if you would leave a review and rating! If you’re looking for a certain topic you’d like us to address, reach out to us via Instagram or email outpostofheaven@gmail.com We LOVE hearing from you.

Episodes about homeschooling ft. Courtney Richardson (76, 84)
Everyone say hello to Nicole Horlacher from @thoughtbosscoaching ! We had a great time talking to her about what it means to be the boss of our thoughts. We know that thoughts leads to feelings and feelings lead to actions right? So if we can control our thoughts, we really can be the best us we can be. Nicole teaches us how we can really do that, applying the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Emily was able to speak in Stake Conference (a meeting of several local congregations) about positivity and being more faith-filled. In this episode she gives us a deep dive into the the points she shared. None of them are ground breaking or complex, but when you apply these small and simple practical principles over time you will notice a HUGE difference.
We all are telling ourselves stories. Right now. A fact or event occurs and we assign a feeling and response to it BECAUSE we made the fact or event MEAN something to us BECAUSE we are telling ourselves a story. Make sense? Well in this episode that’s what we are talking about! Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could sing the song from the Prince of Egypt—“Look at your life through heavens eyes…” and actually DO it? How can we write positive narratives for ourselves? Also you can be the hero of your narrative! Write yourself as the hero, not the the victim! Okay calming down now. Just give it a listen, k? Thanks!
