GRAND Parenting Oct 02, 2021

Show notes

On today’s episode, Richard and Linda go deep into the subject of grand parenting—but it is not just a show for grandparents—its for parents too and for grandchildren—its about the whole family-village and how it can all work together better. Richard talks about how to be a more proactive and involved grandparent and Linda discusses how to know when and what to say to parents, and what not to say. Both agree that grand parenting is GRAND.

The Power and Joy of a Parental God Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

Richard flies solo on today's show while Linda is on a little retreat in Charleston and Savannah and the Outer Banks with her daughters and daughters in law. Richard takes on the topic of the ramifications of believing in literal Heavenly Parents. What difference can that belief make in our everyday lives as parents and marriage partners and individuals? How can it change how we pray, how we think, how we live?

Viewing Things Spiritually Rather Than Politically Sep 18, 2021

Show notes

On today's show, Richard and Linda tackle some of the difficult political issues of our time, but from the paradigm or vantage point of the spiritual--and in the context of a quote from President Dallin H. Oaks "Our theology begins with heavenly parents. Our highest aspiration is to be like them." In that light, we see many of today's conflicts and issues differently.

Following God's Parenting Patterns Sep 11, 2021

Show notes

Through Scripture and Prophets, we know a lot about how our Heavenly Father parents us, His spirit children. On today's show, Richard and Linda discuss 15 ways or methods by which God parents us, and challenges parents to strive to follow the same patterns or principles in how we parent our own children. After listening to the discussion, you can read these 15 Divine Patterns of Parenting on Meridian Magazine (article 10 in a series of 12 on The Parental God.)

A Tribute to NYC Sep 04, 2021

Show notes

The Eyres are in New York this week, and couldn't resist doing this episode on their love for the city and the important memories they have there--including family history and spiritual memories. From Richard's mission in the 60's to their publishing careers to the education and employment of their children, New York had been central. And those who predicted NYC's demise a year ago are instead seeing a renaissance.

The Paradigm of Joy Aug 28, 2021

Show notes

As those who listen often to this podcast know, the Eyre's byword, or watchword, is "Joy" and they define it much more broadly than "happiness." On today's show, Richard and Linda explore the word in the context of the positive interpretation of ALL of the things that happen to us--the pain as well as the pleasure. And at the center of all of the emotions of joy is our family and our familial relationships.

Appreciation and Joy Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

The Eyres were evacuated from their home this week because of the threatening Parley's Canyon Fire, and on today's show they talk about the wrenching emotions of deciding what to take with you from a home you may never see again. What matters, what is most important, what do you love most, what brings true joy? Then Richard and Linda touch on teaching Joy to small, preschool children, and introduce listeners to Joy School.

Patience and "Waiting on The Lord" Aug 14, 2021

Show notes

Linda is speaking this week on an address by Elder Jeffery Holland, and on the show today she reflects on the need for patience in our family and in being able to wait for the blessings we want and accept answers that are different than what we thought we wanted. "Comparison", Linda says, "is the enemy of Joy," and she relates some personal stories about the need for patience in our families and in our prayers.

Why We Moved to Utah Aug 07, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, the Eyre's tell the story of their early-life mentor Neal A. Maxwell and how he played a role in their move from Washington DC to Utah. Richard and Linda also comment on one of their favorite Elder Maxwell speeches--on training the desires of our hearts and on the impact that can have on our families.

52 Years Jul 31, 2021

Show notes

It is the Eyre's 52nd wedding anniversary today, and they celebrate it with us by telling some of the highs and lows, and by hoping that listeners don't see them entirely as old fogies but as real and candid fellow-strugglers who can shed some light not only on how great marriage can be but on how hard it can be and how rewarding it is to hang on and fight through the tough times. Help from a higher source provides a path when we can't find one for ourselves!
