Can we really know that God lives, that Jesus is His only Begotten Son, and that Joseph ushered in the Restoration? Can we know that our leaders are living prophets, seers, and revelatory? I offer my thoughts along with Elder Caussé's masterful address.

We read Psalm 119 and test its words against our own hearts, asking whether scripture truly feels sweet and satisfying to us. We explore how learning to delight in God’s commandments can deepen our love for God and draw us closer to Him.

I share a temple moment that turns into a deeper look at how we prepare for covenants, prophetic counsel, and the revelation we hope to receive. I talk about Moroni 7 and Elder Bednar’s words to ask whether we merely practice charity or whether the pure love of Christ is truly changing what we are.

We take a Sabbath walk near the Provo Rock Canyon Temple under construction and let one word on the doorway reshape how we think about discipleship. We wrestle with why holiness can feel out of reach and how the temple invites us to trade pride for consecration.

(6:16) Why Are We So Foolish? Sep 24, 2026

Behavioral economics describes how humans make predictably irrational or "fooling" choices. If we can understand our own irrationality, we can see it for what it is and make changes. We can turn it around and become more rational. Our irrationality can damage relationships, so recognizing it can help us draw closer to God and to each other.

(6:15) Drawing Closer: The Mysterious Equations Of Love Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

We reflect on A Beautiful Mind and the love Alicia Nash shows through years of strain, loss, and endurance. We sit with the idea that love can be a choice while still remaining a mystery that logic cannot fully explain.
• Rewatching A Beautiful Mind as a story about relationships
• John Nash’s schizophrenia and the strain it places on marriage
• Alicia’s costly love through extraordinary difficulty
• The “mysterious equations of love” quote and why it resonates
• Love as choice and mystery beyond logic
• God’s infinite love as more real than what we can touch
So when life feels heavy or confusing or empty, let's pray that we can be filled with his love.

We all want to be whole, but what is wholeness?The Hebrew greeting "Shalom" helps us, I believe, what wholeness is all about.

(6:13) Drawing Closer: Slow Down And Be Still Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

We share a concert memory that turns into a quiet invitation to slow down and be still before God. We read healing lyrics from the hymn “Slow Down” and reflect on how pausing can help us feel peace when life gets demanding or unpredictable.
• remembering Sissel’s rendition of Chuck Girard’s hymn “Slow Down” at a Pioneer Day concert
• connecting the hymn’s message to Elder Patrick Kieran’s Education Week devotional
• reading and rereading lyrics that point toward stillness, patience, and closeness to God
• naming the moments when life feels too fast, too demanding, or too unpredictable
• finding peace in the temple or by pausing, reflecting, and inviting the Spirit in
I urge you to watch his devotional.

(6.12) Faith in One Another Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

When someone expresses faith in us, we are built up, made more capable of facing the challenges life brings. In this episode, I refer to someone who had faith in me who helped me along the way. I urge you to think of someone who has faith in you and then think of someone who needs to know that you have faith in them.
