Life has taught Kristin Yee how to “jump”: to leave her comfort zone and leap into the unknown, trusting in God’s love and perfect plan. Following a spiritual prompting to leave art school in San Francisco, Kristin's journey of faith took her down an unexpected path-- one that ultimately led to her dream job working as an animator and producer for Disney for 13 years. By sharing the personal revelation she has received and trusted, Kristin teaches listeners "what faith looks like." Through these exciting, and at times frightening, life changes and transitions, Kristin shares with humility and grace how she has learned to partner with the Savior, Jesus Christ for support, comfort, and validation. Kristin was hired by the Church in 2016 as the animation team manager, and she currently serves on the Primary general advisory council.  Resources: Kristin Yee biography: https://www.thechurchnews.com/callings/2021-07-15/9-new-members-of-primary-general-advisory-council-218844 “Educate Your Desires, Elder Andersen Counsels”: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/prophets-and-apostles/unto-all-the-world/educate-your-desires-elder-andersen-counsels?lang=eng Alma 32: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/32?lang=eng Church Content for Children: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/collection/children?lang=eng Examples of recent Children's content: The Goal: A Story of Faith, Friendship and Forgiveness https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/video/2019-12-0110-the-goal-a-story-of-faith-friendship-and-forgiveness?lang=eng The Old Testament Scripture Stories https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/collection/old-testament-stories?lang=eng&collectionId=b43d757eb019f6607ea99cf31d4f98fd0466720b Friend to Friend Broadcast https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/collection/friend-to-friend-children?lang=eng&collectionId=b43d757eb019f6607ea99cf31d4f98fd0466720b Transcript: https://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/2021-03-0104-104-kristin-yee-what-faith-looks-like-eng.pdf

There are more than 150 women named or referenced in the Bible, with dozens of female characters in the Old Testament alone. While not small in number, many of these women are not well known, and some are misunderstood as simple, less essential, or merely one-dimensional characters. But what can the women in the Bible teach us about Jesus Christ, and how can their stories bring us closer to Him? In this episode, Camille Fronk Olson, author and professor emeritus of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University shares how the study of women in scripture enhances our understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and strengthens our faith in the Lord's ability to use ordinary people in His work. Camille shares story after story of faithful and inspiring women in the Old Testament, including Hagar, Hannah, Deborah, Abigail, Bathsheba, the daughters of Zelophehad, and more. Camille teaches that even small efforts to understand the culture, history and context of the Old Testament will improve and enrich our understanding of the women in the Bible.

How can we develop a healthier body image as Latter-day Saint women despite beauty norms and pressures in the world today? How can we help the young women and girls around us learn to treasure the divine gift of their bodies as they grow and develop into women? Dr. Lauren Barnes is the director of clinical training for the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Brigham Young University and specializes in women’s issues, including body image and eating disorders. Join us as we talk with Dr. Barnes about these important issues affecting Latter-day Saint women and girls today.  Resources: For more Church resources and articles about body image and eating disorders, see the August 2019 Ensign and New Era magazines: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2019/08?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/new-era/2019/08/more-than-a-body-seeing-as-god-sees?lang=eng

If you have chosen to live a life of faith in Jesus Christ, it is likely you will experience times when your faith is challenged. Church historian and author Keith Erekson joins us to discuss how faithful women and men throughout history have grappled with doubts and questions, and how we can find peace, light and understanding during times of challenge when we seek to truly commune with God. Keith shares how each person's struggle with questions and doubt is individual, and how finding peace and answers is also individual, ultimately made possible by the Holy Ghost, the great "individualizer." Keith also shares useful counsel for those struggling to help their loved ones find answers to their questions. The best advice? Listen and love, and trust in your own witness of the truth.

As a 25-year-old, single graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in music, Sharlene wanted to attend medical school. She was told by friends and mentors that her deeply-held desire to marry and have children would be limited if she became a doctor, but as she prayed she felt it was the right path for her. Join us as Sharlene shares how her life’s path unfolded as she put her trust in God and took small steps forward in times of fear or uncertainty. With clarity and perspective, Sharlene shares how she navigated being a working mom and how her career has blessed her family and countless others.

When things don’t work out the way we want them to, we may think it requires we accept a lesser reward - a Plan B. But Relief Society advisory council member Kathryn Reynolds believes there is no such thing as a “Plan B” in life. Through a lens of sincere faith and trust in God’s love and eternal plan, she has come to see her life’s sidetracks, struggles and detours as divine. Join us as Kathryn shares the unexpected path to her career as a marriage and family therapist and service on the Relief Society council, and the divine detours and opportunities for learning along the way, including her service as executive assistant to Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Through tender personal experiences, Kathryn testifies of prophets and apostles, as well as the priesthood power and authority of the female officers called to lead and stand as witnesses of Jesus Christ in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today.  Resources: Elder Richard G. Scott, May 2003 Ensign: “The Sustaining Power of Faith in Times of Uncertainty and Testing” https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2003/05/the-sustaining-power-of-faith-in-times-of-uncertainty-and-testing?lang=eng “Even if you exercise your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires. Rather, God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you. He loves you to a depth and completeness you cannot conceive of in your mortal state. Indeed, were you to know His entire plan, you would never ask for that which is contrary to it even though your feelings tempt you to do so. Sincere faith gives understanding and strength to accept the will of our Heavenly Father when it differs from our own. We can accept His will with peace and assurance, confident that His infinite wisdom surpasses our own ability to comprehend fully His plan as it unfolds a piece at a time.”

Pornography use is a difficult and very important topic, and the objective of this episode is to help provide hope and support through available resources for women who’s spouse has used or uses pornography. Our guest Derek Hagey is a FamilySearch employee, Marriage and Family professor, and one of the subject matter experts who worked on Church’s Addressing Pornography website. He discusses the impact pornography use can have on ourselves and our marriages, how we can address issues and emotions surrounding pornography use, and support and resources for additional help.  Resources:  Addressing Pornography Website: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/addressing-pornography?lang=eng His Grace episode - There Is No Limit to God's Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpcUrP0gahw  Recovering from the Trap of Pornography - President Oaks https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2015/10/recovering-from-the-trap-of-pornography?lang=eng Transcript: https://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/2021-03-0096-96-derek-hagey-addressing-pornography-use-in-marriage-eng.pdf

In the scriptures we are taught to “be still,” (Doctrine and Covenants 101:16) and “not to run faster than we have strength” (Mosiah 4:27), but also to be “anxiously engaged in a good cause” (Doctrine and Covenants 58:27–28) and to “serve God with all our heart, might, mind, and strength” (Doctrine and Covenants 4). As busy Latter-day Saint women, how do we balance this seemingly contradictory counsel, allowing ourselves stillness and rest while also engaging with all our hearts in the work of salvation? In this episode, psychologist and author Carrie Skarda teaches how practicing mindfulness can help us develop a more healthy and joyful rhythm between stillness and busyness, while also strengthening our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and improving our prayer and other religious practices. With beautiful examples from the life of Jesus Christ and using helpful visual imagery, Carrie teaches the ways God invites us to stop or pause, spend quiet moments with Him, and be nurtured and guided by the Spirit to better discern our priorities.

Have you ever wondered in the middle of a trial or challenge to your faith: “Where is God? Why doesn’t He answer me or help me?” Today’s guest Mihaela shares how she has learned that the witness of God’s love and involvement in our lives comes “after the trial of our faith” (Ether 12:6). Mihaela was born in Romania and migrated to California, USA as a teenager with her family. With enthusiasm and authenticity, she shares how she has faced and overcome trials to her faith, including receiving her own personal witness of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ as a young woman investigating the Church. Mihaela also discusses how she put her trust in the Lord as she pursued education in music, lived in New York City as a young adult, faced the heartbreak and confusion of infertility, and witnessed the miracles that followed, including learning from and loving a son with disabilities.

“Who can I bless today? How can I reach out?” are questions that Mayavel Amado Pineda, a member of the Relief Society General Advisory Council, encourages us to ask as we seek to better understand ministering and how to go about it. Though ministering may sometimes feel uncomfortable or inconvenient amidst all our pressures in life, we can look to the Savior as an example of caring and connecting, discerning real needs, and receiving direction when we need it. In this episode, Mayavel also shares the blessings that can come from ministering: our lives can be enriched as we make connections and friendships, and our burdens can lifted when we forget about our own worries and gain a better perspective about our own challenges.

Never in the history of mankind have temples been more accessible to God’s children. More Latter-day Saints than ever before have the opportunity of receiving temple ordinances and then returning often. This world-wide blessing unifies Saints with their families, their ancestors, and to the Lord Jesus Christ. In this episode, Church historian Ryan Saltzgiver shares stories from the Global Histories project of pioneering women traveling great distances at incredible sacrifice to gather Saints on both sides of the veil. We also talk with Neelima Surisetty Rayudu, a Church member from India, about her experiences traveling to the Hong Kong and Cebu Philippines temples to be sealed to her parents and then her husband. She recalls her initial reaction to the recently-announced Bengaluru India temple.

Enish Davila was born and raised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Cancun, Mexico and served as a full-time missionary in Puebla, Mexico.

In this episode, Enish talks about the mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges she experienced as a returned missionary, and how she continued to feel the fire of the gospel as she grew in spiritual and emotional maturity. Enish also shares her experiences as a Relief Society president in a Spanish-speaking Young Single Adult ward, counseling and learning from sisters with various backgrounds, experiences, and challenges.
