This episode includes the story about Levi Hancock and the preface to the Book of Commandments.  I share the story of the Spanish Branch and my husband’s watch story from when he was young.  It talks about being excited about the gospel, letting the Holy Spirit guide you in sharing the gospel, and raising your kids.  And it talks about parenting.

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!

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!
