enLIGHTen

Some days parenting feels like planting seeds...in winter. You pray. You teach. You sing. And nothing blooms. At least not yet… This week with @chelsba and @well.with.anna we talked about: -Loving children who don’t always respond. -Praying for them and with them. -Teaching the doctrine of Christ through simple, Spirit-led moments.

President Henry B. Eyring reminded us that God magnifies small, faithful efforts in the home. And Tr...

This week on enLIGHTen Gathering, I had the gift of sitting down with Tammy Uzelac Hall to talk about something that feels simple… but is often so hard to live: Trusting the hand of the Lord. What does it really mean to trust Him when prayers feel unanswered when the path feels unclear when the outcome isn’t what we expected. One of my favorite parts of this conversation was reflecting on the word AMEN. In Hebrew, it means to trust...

Prayer is more than words  spoken into the air— it’s the breath that ignites  a hidden fire  shaping who we  Are becoming. Today on the enLIGHTen Gathering Podcast,  I sat down with Dr. Barbara Morgan Gardner  to talk about the quiet,powerful work of prayer.  Inspired by “Motions of a Hidden Fire,”  we explored how communing with God  transforms our testimonies,  deepens our relationship with Him,  and changes us from the inside ou...

This week on enLIGHTen  we talked about The Ministry of Angels and the power we have to invite that help into our own lives 🤍. Sometimes we ask where are the angels? And heaven asks back—do you believe i can do this thing? The scriptures are full of moments where angels appear not randomly, not accidentally, but in response to faith, to prayer, to pleading, to quiet trust, that God is still near. Elder Holland reminds us that an...

(Corrected Audio) - Today on the enLIGHTen Gathering, I sat down with Brad Wilcox @bradrwilcox 🤍 . We reflected on Brad’s wonderful reminder: “Don’t let the world change you when you were born to change the world.” . But to change the world we must be changed and transformed by the challenges we overcome by our covenants and our connection with God by Christ . Covenants don’t remove the struggle They transform it into growth . The...

Today’s conversation rested in the quiet power of the Shepherd. . The rod that protects. The staff that guides. Both symbols of love—not fear . Psalm 23 reminds us we are never walking alone. And as Elder Holland taught, Jesus never gives up on us— not in valleys, not in uncertainty, not in the moments we feel most unseen . Because He is the Good Shepherd. . Because He is “I Am He.” . We can trust Him with everything we face. . Eve...

Today's conversation felt like a sacred pause in the middle of a busy season 🤍 . This week on enLIGHTen I sat down with BYU Professor Eric Huntsman to talk about worship, tradition, and Advent— and how the season leading up to Christmas invites us to slow down and revisit the many witnesses of Christ’s birth . From prophets and angels to shepherds and seekers, Advent helps us remember that Christ did not come quietly or alone . Th...

Today on the enLIGHTen podcast, I sat down with President Brian Cordray of the Adriatic Mission and our conversation kept returning to this incredible sacred truth from Elder Quentin L. Cook’s conference message: The Lord is hastening His work. HASTENING. ✨ Not rushing. Not racing past. But being moved forward by heaven. We talked about what that word really means for our lives— how this generation of missionaries has been quietly,...

President Nelson once said, “The human body is a MANIFICENT MASTERPIECE.” And this week on enLIGHTen, we explored just how true that is. With my good friend Tanna Fox @live_right_nutrition, we dove into the miracle of the body as a temple for our souls— And vessel of His grace and light and how choosing light in small, everyday ways lifts both the physical and the spiritual. Because it seems that the more we honor this gift, the mo...

This week's episode of the enLIGHTen podcast took us through the Nativity exhibit at the Kirtland Temple Visitors’ Center— hundreds of symbols, stories, and cultures all pointing us back to Jesus Christ . As we walked and talked, we were reminded that every nativity is a testimony crafted through someone’s gifts . Every artisan adds their piece to the story… just like we can . God magnifies whatever we’re willing to offer . This Ch...

This week, we’re talking about the power of words— how Christ Himself is the Word, how through words God spoke light into being, and how our own words still hold creative power. . With Yarley Varley and her sweet daughter, Taytum we explored how words can heal or harm, build faith or fear, and how choosing truth and kindness aligns our voice with His. . Heaven and earth may pass away, but God’s words remain. They shape eternity— an...

This week, we’re talking about what it means to honor—both the parents who gave us life on earth, and the Heavenly Parents who gave us eternal life in spirit. We looked at how Jesus—even knowing He was the Son of God—chose to humble Himself, to listen, to serve, to obey. He showed us that honoring those we see teaches us how to love the One we cannot see. When we thank God, when we cherish the gifts He’s given, when we honor thos...

In this week’s enLIGHTen episode with my dear friend, Anna Miller we explored what it truly means to be proved and strengthened in Christ— to walk through refining seasons not alone, but with Him beside us. We talked about how His love doesn’t spare us from the fire— it stays with us in it. Every trial, every “proving,” can polish our hearts the way pressure and heat turn carbon into a diamond. Because in His hands… the proving bec...

An enLIGHTen conversation with Beth Martineau @saltandhart

In today’s enLIGHTen episode, I sit down with my dear friend Beth Martineau to open our hearts to what it really means to have Christ open our eyes— to see not just the world, but the truth behind it.

We talk about how easy it is to go through life looking but never truly seeing… and how one quiet moment with Him can change the way you see everything.

When He anoints our ey...
