Show notes

Richard flies solo today and talks about the brand new book that he edited, called NO DIVISION AMONG YOU. He feels like the polarization--and the "five D's" that go with it: discord, division, dissension, dismissal, and disrespect, are tearing apart our country, our communities, and even our churches and families. This new book, now available on Amazon, and at Deseret Book, contains 14 essays from diverse but committed Church members that can help us find UNITY.

Three-Letter Lesson #29: W&P Aug 12, 2023

Show notes

The 29th installment in their ongoing series on "3-letter lessons" is the dual success formula "W&P" which on the temporal level is WORK AND PLAN, involving setting goals, creating plans, and working to achieve our own ends. But the Eyres suggest a higher, more spiritual formula for success where W&P stands for scriptural couplets: WATCH AND PRAY, WONDER AND PONDER, WAIT AND PATIENCE, AND WORSHIP AND PRAISE.

AI vs. FAITH Aug 05, 2023

Show notes

In today's episode, the Eyres tackle the question of whether AI is our friend or foe, of whether Artificial Intelligence can control us, can develop intimate relationships with us, and can eventually destroy us. Richard and Linda juxtaposition the hopelessness of an atheist view where we are overmatched by the first Alien Intelligence to ever exist with the hope of a faith-based view where there is a Divine Intelligence that has a plan for us all.

Show notes

Today the Eyres return to their series on 3-letter lessons--simple three letter "word-pegs" that we can think about often and that can influence our priorities and actions. Today's word is the ever-interesting question of WHO. Who are you? Who are you becoming? Richard and Linda suggest an exercise where you answer the question ten times, prioritizing your answers, and then ask how much time you are spending on the important answers.
