What would our lives be like without Jesus Christ? Have you ever pondered this question? Russell Nelson taught, The more you learn about the Savior, the easier it will be to trust in His mercy, His infinite love, and His strengthening, healing, and redeeming power. Your growing faith in Him will move mountains—not the mountains of rock that beautify the earth but the mountains of misery in your lives. Your flourishing faith will help you turn challenges into unparalleled growth ...
Is it really possible to give thanks in all our circumstances? What about the times when everything seems to be going wrong in our lives? Dieter Uchtdorf explained that, “Being grateful in times of distress does not mean we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges.” “True gratitude is an expression of hope and testimony. It comes from acknowledging that we do not always understand the trials of life b...
The storms of life are no respecter of marriages. What will we choose when they come? Satan would have each of us turn inward and pull away from our spouse during times of trial. The Savior’s approach is the opposite, He says “come unto me all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If we come unto Christ and allow Him to, He takes our marriages by the hand and guides us through the downpour. When burdens are beyond are ability to shoulder, He carries us. Today’s guest...
Each of us will experience the unfairness of life, and receive injuries, whether real or perceived, at the hands of others. Will these injuries cause us to become spiritually blinded with anger, and revenge or with draw from the fold of God ? Or will we choose to accept, forgive, and allow the Savior’s Atonement to absorb all the unfairness in our lives? James Talmage taught, “Every human soul shall be tested as by fire.” Our guest today Jana Tuttle was literally and spiritu...
We live in world where more and more people struggle to feel joy in their lives. Family values are rapidly declining and are viewed as old- fashioned. We want our children to experience joy. But without values to guide our children’s decisions, joy will elude them Can joy be taught? Is it a choice or a condition experienced on rare occasions? And how do you teach to children of varying ages without it becoming a lecture? Our guest, New York Times bestselling author and world renow...
When we do not accept what is, life is an illusion—an illusion that, like a pit of darkness, keeps us from seeing clearly, makes us claustrophobic and suffocates us in vexing negative emotions. When we live in truth, we accept what is. When we live in illusion, we attempt to deal with what isn’t. In other words, we deny truth—things as they really are—and get mired in how we think things should or should not be. Ours becomes a world of wishful thinking. Today’s guest, Sherrie Mills Johnson, t...
At the end of your life what will you regret? Will it be not having the big house, or the nice car you always dreamed of? David McKay taught that, “No success can compensate for failure in the home” Most of our regrets and guilt will not come from our lack of achievements, success, or possessions, they will come form our inadequate efforts within our family relationships. Our Families have the potential to bring greater joy into our lives than anything else. What can ...
Imagine being sat down one day and having your father tell you he was arrested for prostitution and has struggled with sexual addiction for most of his life. How would you feel?

Tara McCausland mother, Rhyll Croshaw, shared her story in a previous podcast—The Sorrow Of Betrayal Trauma, which has blessed the lives of many. Today we will hear the story from the per...

Most countries have a national language, culture and ethnicity. This is not so for Americans. We represent a melting pot drawn from all nations, ethnicities, languages, and religions. So what does it mean to be an American? Today our guest, Gove Allen will address this question, by walking us through the seven founding values which make us Americans. These values are what give us our identity as Americans and make us great. Without them we are no different than any other cou...
Today there will be much talk of women in high places, power suits, high-heels, and history in the making. It’s monumental. It’s never been done before. The message of empowering women is good. But I believe women have always ruled the world. Creators and shapers of humanity long before politics. While I respect those climbing the rungs on the ladder of history, I hope my daughters remember that today nothing about womanhood has fundamentally changed. They ...

And thus the very King he defeated called him… “The Greatest Man of the Last Hundred Years.” Napoleon Bonaparte called him, “The Greatest Man of the Last Millennium” H...

Directly east from my home, there is a beautiful mountain that rises majestically over our little community with a charming reservoir below. Not long ago this mountain stood proud with its lovely greenery reaching for the sky, with no concerns other than changing her colors in response to the gentle whisperings of Autumn in the air. Now, she stands black and smoldering. The night of the fire, severe winds caused the fire to spread quickly covering 1,000 acres within an hour and g...
What would life be like if you were not allowed to read the Bible and worship God as you please? What if you were persecuted for your beliefs and told you had to believe a certain way? What if you could not own your own land, choose your career, nor own the fruits of your labor? What would you do? With faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the pilgrims came to America seeking resolution to these difficulties. We face many of these same concerns in our nation today. We sometimes take for...
Everyone has a mission. Everyone has something special they are to accomplish here on earth. Everyone was born with a gift, talent, or something God wants them to share in order to help others. Each of us will encounter opposition as we strive to fulfill what God has asked of us. At times it will be hard, but we can do hard things as we remember there are miracles and angels are among us. The heavens are not closed as some suppose. God does speak to his children through the Holy Spirit....
