This episode is about “Where much is given, much is required.” I also discuss how the Lord is bound when we do what He says. 

This is the conference talk I referenced.

In this episode, I sit down with Standard of Truth podcast hosts Dr. Garrett Dirkmaat and Dr. Richard LeDuc—two brilliant minds who somehow make 19th-century church history as fun as late-night comedy.

We talk about what makes a source reliable, why passion doesn't equal expertise, and how to respond when someone says, “If yo...

In this podcast, Colton shares his journey of wrestling with faith after his mission—facing trials, addiction, and doubt. It was a deep, honest study of the Book of Mormon that brought him back. Through scripture, support, and the Spirit, he found renewed clarity and conviction. His story is a powerful witness of the Book of Mormon’s ability to anchor us in truth.

This episode is about righteousness.  I discuss the importance of hearing the Savior's messages through the power of the Holy Ghost. We need Christ's love, and we need His help every day.  Alone, we have a harder time in this confusing and deception-filled world.  With Him and the sweet influence of the Spirit life can be filled with so much more JOY!

Here are the talks I mentioned:

In this episode of "It Feels Like Joy," I discuss the power of the scriptures and how turning to the Book of Mormon daily can help us develop a relationship with the Savior faster than any other method.  You know me, I had to start there!  And it's because it works.

This episode was about how the Lord’s house is a house of order and that revelation for the church comes through the prophet only.  I talked about how cool it is that we can receive personal revelation & also talked about how easy it is for Satan to deceive us.  But it’s ok, just repent!
