My amazing friend Dri Marshall kindly stepped in to fill a gap in my Holy Week programming that I didn't know that I needed! She teaches me so much! Wednesday of Holy Week is a day that we don't actually know a lot about. We don't have a very clear idea of how the Savior spent His time-maybe He was teaching, performing miracles, spending some time by Himself...maybe all of these above. With that in mind, Dri shares with my that things that she learned from her study of this important day and she tells me about some of the traditions from her home country of Brazil. I love her parting thoughts, that when we don't know what the Savior was doing, we can ask ourselves, What Would Jesus Do? And then we will probably have a pretty good idea of what He was doing on that day.Dri's Previous Episodehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2035065/12027995-episode-19-the-scholar.mp3?download=true

Elder Castleton was born with half of his heart. How's that for an opening line? He wasn't expected to survive his birth, but he did! Huge miracle! Because he wasn't able to participate in sports, he leaned into music and becamse very accomplished as a musician. With a desire to serve the Lord, he was called on a prostelyting mission to Chicago. After a very short time, it was determined that he needed to return home and shift his mission a little bit. He ended up on oxygen and now lives at home serving as a service missionary. But there's more, those musical talents that I mentioned? Yeah, Heavenly Father had plans to use those talents in an unexpected way. With permission from his mission leaders, Elder Castleton felt inspired to begin writing Christian rap and posting it on social media. Not the usual space that you would find a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but he's doing amazing work and reaching people who may otherwise not hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. All the while inspiring people with his positivity and faith. Rapping Missionary YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@RappingMissionaryMy Favorite Rapping Missionary Songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gu9nifUU4M&list=OLAK5uy_nulzZPfPD-VtT7DKyHwq_GMBuqjyiSyEEScripture Quoted In The Episodehttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/4?lang=eng

**This is a throwback episode of The Little Lessons Podcast. It was originally published on November 3, 2022**I love having the chance to sit down and talk with good friends! And for this episode I got to do just that. Megan Pizarro is the Relief Society President in my ward (she oversees the women's organization in my church congregation) and she is also a dear friend. She's also been one of the biggest supporters of this podcast and for that I am so so grateful! In this episode, Megan and I talk about her calling as the Relief Society president and the very important lessons that she's learned along the way as she served the women in our ward and as she has learned to rely on  Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the people that she serves alongside. We also discuss some of her unique life experiences that  help her be more effective at reaching out to those who are struggling and showing empathy to all of those that she encounters. She has an amazing story that it truly inspiring!

Shaun Barrowes is an Emmy nominated composer and musician who has played with Imagine Dragons and competed on American Idol. I met him when he was the pianist in primary when I was the Primary President. Seriously, our primary was the happening place to be!! It was like having our own Billy Joel in the primary every Sunday. Well, he has now taken his creative talents into the realm of writing and it's a perfect fit. As the author of The Paradise Planet book series, he has taken world building to new levels. In this episode we talk about the inspiration behind this series, the world building aspect of writing and composing the score, and the hand the Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost have played in making this project come to fruition. Run, don't walk, to get the audio book-you can get a physical copy, but I highly recommend the audio. Thank me later!https://www.paradiseplanets.com/

Look, I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but if you don't have a friend like Linda Crawford then you are absolutely doing wrong. That's all there is to it. Linda is a Superfan of many things-her family, the gospel, he Savior, The Denver Broncos and U2 (although our opening question may leave you wondering about that last one). I am so blessed by her wisdom and her strength. I needed this interview-I hope you enjoy it as much I did!
