In a fast-paced world, and in a Church that wants to help “hasten the work,” it’s hard to slow down, be still and rest. But in this episode we chat about the divine principle of rest and how it can enhance our ability to connect with God.
The Liahona was a miraculous tool God used to guide, bless, and teach Lehi’s family. In this episode we chat about how we could more fully use a Patriarchal Blessing just like the Liahona to receive guidance, confidence, and understanding throughout our entire lives.
Because God loves us, He asks us to let go of things, and some of those things are not necessarily sins. In this episode we chat about the souvenirs from hell, reality, joy, and really coming to know God.
Elder Uchtdorf said that “faith is our loyalty to Jesus Christ”. In this episode we lean into that definition more fully to try and discover what changes when faith is about faithfulness and loyalty not just beliefs.
There is so much going on in Abraham and Sarah’s story that we could almost miss the
messy and beautiful story of Hagar. In this episode we chat about a woman who is broken,
covenants available to all, and The God Who Sees
Restoration scripture like the Doctrine and Covenants and the Book of Mormon add so much to our understanding of the Spirit World, yet, there is still so much we don’t know. In this episode we wrestle with what we know, what we don’t know, and how the Spirit World testifies of God’s perfect, relentless love.
Throughout scripture we encounter references to God’s wrath and anger. In this episode we wrestle with questions about the meaning of “righteous anger” and how it applies to both God and us.
Is temptation a bad thing? How should I feel about being tempted? What can a perfect Savior teach me about temptation? Could temptation be a catalyst to turn me to Christ? These were some of our questions in this episode about temptation and fire.
The spiritual and emotional wounds we experience in mortality can be filled with bitterness and anger or healed by the balm of Christ’s grace. In this episode we try to better understand the healing and compensating grace of Jesus Christ.
So many of our struggles in life come in the form of weakness—not sin—but the limitations and frustrations that come with being mortal. In this episode we explore the strengthening and enabling grace of Jesus Christ, and how to better access it day by day.
The justifying grace of Jesus Christ saves us from sin, and His sanctifying grace can then purify us of sinfulness. The Savior doesn’t just want to SAVE us, He also wants to CHANGE us. To access this dimension of grace we need “to offer our whole souls” piece by piece.
This is the first episode in a four-part series on the Grace of Jesus Christ. We start with justifying grace which allows us to be clean, forgiven, worthy, and perfect IN Christ every single day IF make and remain in the baptismal covenant.
It’s easy to feel like we are failing at school, at work, in callings, in our families, etc. In this episode we chat about the gift that failure can be if we view it through the perspective of God’s Fabulous Plan. Maybe we’re not failing and falling, we’re just learning and progressing.
More than ever, traditional Christians are asking members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints whether they believe Jesus is God. In this episode we give the scriptural answer to that question and discuss how important it is that we both believe and understand the answer.
In this chat we wrestle with two complimentary truths; 1. God wants us to experience divine discontent AND 2. God wants us to experience a perfect brightness of hope. How do we hold these two truths together, what happens when we only focus on one, and what does it feel like live in the middle of both?
Sometimes we get this picture in our heads that God lives in a constant state of happiness and doesn’t experience any pain, grief, or sadness. In this episode we explore what we know doctrinally about God’s range of emotions and what it can teach us about Him and ourselves.
In this episode we address questions like: Why do some scriptures classify coveting as a sin, while others urge us to covet? What does coveting look like in our lives? How does obeying the tenth commandment keep us safe from hurting ourselves?
The eighth and ninth commandments seem to be linked together by the principle of honesty. In this episode we chat about the slippery, satanic slope of selfish dishonesty, and the higher, holier journey to loving truth the way God loves it.
In this episode we chat about the consequences of adultery, the protection of the Law of Chastity, cleaving to our spouses and none else, being fiercely loyal, and much more.
In this episode we dive into the sixth commandment including the difference between murder and killing, the Savior’s teaching about avoiding anger, cherishing life, abortion, and more.
