Jared Halverson @Unshaken can't explain it. Tyler and Taylor @Scripture Central doesn't touch it. David Butler and Emily Belle Freeman @Don't Miss This! butterfly kiss it 4 years ago. Doctrine and Covenants 29 is the ONLY place in LDS cannon where God's secret formula for creation is revealed!! And this is only Come Follow Me podcast where it is explained.But sheesh! After an hour and a half of illustrating Christ as the divine center, I still forget to tie it all back into verse 5. As you watch me illustrate the torus as God's creative process, keep Christ's words in mind, "Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst."Parts 1 and 2 of this weeks #ComeFollowMe (#CFM) curriculum for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (#LDS) are very visually laden. I suggest you watch both of them on either Spotify or YouTube, rather than just listen. I outline the pattern of creation, as given by the Lord in section 29 of the Doctrine and Covenants, and expand quite a bit. In short, we have to say yes to the mortal experience, and pass through suffering, if we want to gain the tools necessary to grow in agency, and create like our creator.Get affordable, continuous help for those chronic pain points in your key relationships here: https://bit.ly/monthlyrelationshipcoachingExtend our reach✔️ PayPal: https://paypal.me/eekbin?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US✔️ Venmo: @justinmbirdThe Relationship textbook

Have you ever been with a normally reserved friend, when they just suddenly spill all the tea? That's what Doctrine and Covenants 29 is like. God is having a moment, and we all get to peak in. I slow and narrow the focus to moments of emotional transition, and then try to sleuth out just what exactly “the first shall be last and the last shall be first” has to do with the creation, and why God mentions it in conjunction with evil. If that's your cup of tea, listen in

Do you run to or away from stillness? Are you two close? Or is your relationship shaky? Do you literally, physically shake when there is nothing to distract you? Stillness is salvation. There is no salvation in the past or future - only in the present. And in our presence, we find God's presence. All that are present are together. Come home to God and you're beautiful, eternal self through stillness. Inspired by a talk by Bishop L. Todd Budge in General Conference, October 2024, titled, "Seek Him with All Your Heart," and some busy friends.

The key to understanding Isaiah, and everything else, is the masculine|feminine couplet mentioned by Jared Halverson, in this week's episode. Jared Halverson is one of the most popular voices commenting on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint's weekly scripture study program called, “Come Follow Me.” In this episode, I comment on this week's episode of his podcast, called "Unshaken."

This is a completely organic conversation with a female friend of mine about what modesty means to her. She is 100% vulnerable, so show love

Every week, millions of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints worldwide read and discuss the same chapters of scripture at the same time. Prompts in a manual titled "Come Follow Me" spark individual connections with heaven, friends and family. Paige and I aren't biblical scholars, but we are construction projects in Christ's portfolio, and we're glad to share authentic snapshots and updates of His work as we read along with you. This week's chapters are from the Book of Mormon, and one of them is my favorite chapter in all of scripture: 2 Nephi 2. Paige and I chat about why God forsakes us, how eternity is stretched as we sit still; we discuss how Disney can be a great temptation, what polarity has to do with man's agency, and why nothing could be created without it. We don't discuss this directly, but PUT IT IN YOUR HEAD: the opposites mentioned in 2 Nephi are masculinity and femininity, their interplay is what the scriptural Bridegroom & bride metaphor point to, and our exaltation is what they create. Here's the bit about Disney (within the first 3 minutes;) https://youtu.be/DCS6t6NUAGQ?si=is2mmErbfKbrwfJm  ...and the bit about femininity being like water: https://youtu.be/nX8ONTCCeCM Get affordable, continuous help for those chronic pain points in your key relationships here: https://bit.ly/monthlyrelationshipcoaching Extend our reach ✔️ PayPal: https://paypal.me/eekbin?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US ✔️ Venmo: @justinmbird The Relationship textbook

Introducing Paige. She is a woman, and she's bringing both femininity and dynamism to this work of understanding masculine and feminine dynamics at scale. Still influenced heavily by Byron Katie, we launch from Katie's statement that "the world is the reflection of the mind." Paige exposes my lingering bitterness from divorce, fields my big bold man jokes adeptly, and yawns while I bounce excitedly between all the places I see the A-B | B-A relationship pattern. And somewhere in there we address the fact that the characteristic of reflecting is feminine, and we discuss why. Probably she should have her own show, and I should be her occasional guest, but ... this is a man's world, and I'm the man

I'm chatting with my friend, Paige, and she says she has a sore spot in her relationship with her 10 yo son. We do Byron Katie's work together, and the soreness turns to silliness. Can you hear your own sore spot with a loved one in this dialoge? You can also turn yours to laughter with The Work. Byron Katie has come to end suffering.

The Grand Design can be visualized a number of ways. One of those ways is the torus.

As I was singing Hymn 183 today, I thought, “Yes, we take the symbols of flesh and blood in remembrance of Christ's suffering. But that just completes the circle, which began when He came to earth and went to the cross in remembrance of our suffering. God said, “who will go down to this earth, aka hell, to learn what I know, so that you can become like Me?” And a bunch of us raised our hands. And we came down, and immediately we began bleeding, and dying and being torn. And God saw our faith, and loved us, and said, “I'm gonna go down, right in the middle, and to the very bottom of where you are, to be with you, so that you know that I have not asked anything of you which I am not willing to do.” And so He loved us first, in remembrance of our suffering; and now we love Him last, in remembrance of His. And this is how the two of us become one.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wheretwobecomeone/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wheretwobecomeone/support

I'm trimming down the top 3 "Come Follow Me" podcasts this week from nearly 7 hours to one long gym session, or two "at least I made it" gym sessions, for your convenience. It was tough to do, but I've taken the best insights from the book of Galatians in the New Testament for the week of Sep 25 - Oct 1 from the podcasts "Unshaken" with Jared Halverson, "DON'T MISS THIS" with Dave Butler and Grace Freeman, and "Scripture Central" with Tyler Griffen and Taylor Halverson, so you can taste the flavors of the best LDS Come Follow Me material on the internet, without having to sit through all 7 hours yourself! I hope you enjoy! We're in Galatians, learning to see how a divisive and masculine law establishes the beautification of feminine mercy.

Someone saw my logo and said, "you need to check out Jared Halverson's talk on proving contraries." So I did. And it's SO good! Jared hosts the popular “Come Follow Me” podcast titled "Unshaken". In this fireside, originally given for the Highland Utah East Stake, called the Seeking Truth Devotional, Halverson makes sense of the AB|BA paradox and gives traction to that universal relationship formula, in a way that I haven't been able to yet. He will do more to help you find balance, and navigate this polarizing society than any other teacher in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, that I've heard so far.

Do you struggle with the limitations of your spouse? Are you looking for ways to love that spouse, in spite of his or her weakness? Meet Orin and Chartina Voorheis. They've been married 20 years. The goodwill between them is strong. The idea of an interview with them entered my mind precisely when a newly married man, whose wife brought undisclosed mental illness into their marriage, asked me what a reasonable baseline functioning requirement might be for him to have of her. In some ways, they are a unique couple; but in the metrics of marital success, Orin and Chartina are standard bearers. 03:55 - how they met 13:58 - Orin's injury 23:07 - disabilities of spirit and body 26:06 - their communication 30:58 - masculinity and femininity 39:45 - positive sentiment 46:36 - her decision to marry him Get affordable, continuous help for those chronic pain points in your key relationships here: https://bit.ly/monthlyrelationshipcoaching Support the cause ✔️ PayPal: https://paypal.me/eekbin?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US ✔️ Venmo: @justinmbird The Relationship textbook

This is my 1st call with Orin and Chartina Voorheis. I thought of them when someone asked me what the baseline requirements of a spouse should be. They've been married 20 years, both are happy individually and with the marriage, and this makes them authorities on sustainable relationships. You and I can learn a lot about marriage, and life generally, from the Voorheis'. Orin was shot in the head while in Argentina, as a young missionary. He and Chartina married in 2002.

No component of a long-term, romantic relationship is weightier than sex. Males and females come at this union from opposing ends of the same trail: males begin at sex and move toward relationship fulfillment; females begin at relationship and move toward sexual fulfillment. The idea is for both to enjoy both. In order for that to happen, each must understand where the other is coming from, have patience and compassion with the other's process, and hold fast in the knowing that both want the full experience.

A trick to get unstuck, when you want something of your partner, but feel like you're not getting anywhere. Transition your requests from labels to action. Often, when we want to make an alteration in the relationship routine, we seek to alter the behavior of our partner. Even though seeking to alter our own behavior is the most effective approach to moving the relationship forward, after we've personally achieved the willingness we want from our partner, it becomes a wonderful experience to make requests and have them fulfilled. Although we can never coerce their behavior, there is much we can do to influence it. If you're struggling to influence your partner into a behavior that would make life more wonderful for you, perhaps your not offering specificity. We'll commonly make requests using labels, such as, “be more kind,” “love me,” or “don't be like that!” When we use these labels, we know what we mean, but are you sure they know what you mean? Not usually. Words reference meaning we've attached to past moments. We use words like cars to transport the feelings we've associated with those past moments, in hopes of sharing those parts of ourself with our partner, for in sharing what's alive in us, our joys are doubled and our pain is halved. We think of 2 or 3 specific experiences, and then put them in the car, and then drive it toward the one we want to know us. The problem is that once the car leaves your brain and enters the brain of your partner, 2 or 3 different experiences exit the car. The meaning that exits the car, or the word, once it enters the brain of the other, is from their past experience. They use that same word to reference other specific, observable incidents. Speaking of specific, commonly shared, neutral incidents, is the way to get through that. I believe that most people want to make or keep like wonderful for you. Most are drawn to meet a need once they see it. But Words are more often blockage points than transmission points in human communication. Seeing a need is often harder than meeting a need. Transitioning your requests from timeless labels to time-bound action generates real-time love. Actionable requests force your relationship into the present moment, while timeless labels send your relationship into the ever-ache of past disappointments and future expectations . The saddest outcome of using labels in your requests, instead of specific actions, is that the one you want to move forward with CAN never know what he or she could have done to stay with you. Their brain simply unpacks different meaning from all the labels you've offered. I'd love to hear about your success, so drop me a note or send me a voice message.
