April 7-13Parley Parker Pratt was 16 months younger than the Prophet Joseph and he was born about 140 miles east of Palmyra, New York. Parley was born curious about religion. He said to his father one day when he was 18 years old and they were laboring together in the forest:"Father, how is it there is so manifest a difference between the ancient and modern disciples of Jesus Christ and their doctrines? If, for instance, I had lived in the days of the Apostles, and believed in Jesus Christ, and had manifested a wish to become his disciple, Peter or his brethren would have said to me, 'Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for REMISSION OF SINS, and you SHALL receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.' I should then have known definitely and precisely what to do to be saved. "Now, father…I believe in Jesus; I wish to serve him and keep his commandments… How…can I observe the ordinances of God and keep his commandments?"“To these inquiries my father could give no satisfactory answer…I still continued to ponder upon these things, and to search the Scriptures to learn how to be saved.” (Pratt, Parley P. Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt, Revised and Enhanced Edition, edited by Scot Facer Proctor and Maurine Jensen Proctor, Deseret Book Company, Salt Lake City, 2000, pp 10-11.)Parley would not rest until he could discover the right path to the Lord Jesus Christ.

In our community, we believe women can be a force for good in their circles of influence. One way they can do that is by being seekers of truth. In this episode, Laurel Day, President of Deseret Book Company, sits down with Sheri Dew, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of Deseret Management Corporation, and she opens up about the life lessons she has learned through continually asking questions. Sheri left a mark on all of us when she served in the General Relief Society presidency. She's the author of many books including the recent Prophets See Around Corners as well as Insights From a Prophet's Life: The Biography of Russell M. Nelson.   Join us at the Lift Up Your Hearts events this fall by heading to our website magnifythegood.com/events and register now with code PODCAST10 at checkout!

We are inundated with so much content everyday--both good and bad--and sometimes it's hard for something to breakthrough the noise. This conversation with Laurel Day, President of Deseret Book Company, and Sharon Eubank is one of those that we hope breaks through for you. Sharon redefined big concepts in this conversation like: what it means to be a humanitarian, what a miracle really is, and the power and purpose of our covenants.    Many of us first became aware of Sharon when she served as a former counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sharon has an incredible view of the world through the work she gets to do in the humanitarian efforts for the Church and she is also a former business owner.     Register now for the "Lift Up Your Heart" events happening this fall.

Neylan McBaine, until just recently, served as both founder and CEO of Better Days 2020, a Utah non-profit organization, created with the intent of popularizing women's history through education, legislation, events and the arts. Neylan has become a leader in speaking and writing about women's leadership and the U.S. Suffrage Movement, with a specific focus on Utah and the West, and the early role that the Western states played in the national movement.  In today's podcast we'll be discussing Neylan's book titled Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of Suffragists in Utah and the West published in 2020 by Shadow Mountain, an imprint of the Deseret Book Company. The intent of the Shadow Mountain is to publish works that speak to a national audience. Neylan's book is compelling, a work of history with the aid of historically based fictional arch that follows through the entire book, which makes real historical figures, events and circumstances more understandable. Neylan's work is “a shot across the bows,” with the intent of urging historians and thought leaders to consider a glaring omission in the story of the Women's Suffrage Movement, which is the vital story from the interior West, most particularly from Utah.  I think another audience for this book is everyday Utahns that want to understand women's history in Utah. 2020 was the 100th anniversary of a majority of US states that ratified the 19th Amendment, which extended to “most” US female citizens, not to people of color, not to Native Americans, but to white women, the right to vote. Women of color, Native Americans, all had to wait, in some cases in the 1960s to vote without legal roadblocks and harassment  As you can see the story of full franchising of all Americans, is a complex story. And this story in Utah has every more layers of confusion and conflict. 2020 also marked the 150th anniversary of the Utah Territory legislature's bill giving women 21 years or older the right to vote. Utah's northern territorial neighbor Wyoming, passed the right to vote, as well the right to hold public office, some months before Utah. However two days after Utah's bill was passed, Seraph Young, a grandniece of Brigham Young, cast her ballot in a Salt Lake City municipal election, becoming the first woman in the country to vote under an equal suffrage law.  This story is just the tip of the iceberg where Utah and women from surrounding states made vital contributions not only to their local efforts but also national efforts. If you would like to buy a copy of Neylan's book Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of the Suffragists in Utah and the West, we will put this information on our show notes.

Tung is also the creator of Ruby on Jets. Jets is a Ruby Serverless Framework, allowing you to to create serverless applications with Ruby. It includes everything needed to build and deploy applications to AWS Lambda. Tung explains how Jets works and that even before AWS Lambda supported Ruby, Jets used a shim to run Ruby. The shim was written in a language that is natively supported by AWS Lambda and called out to Ruby. Tung describes this process using the dream in dream concept in the movie Inception. Since AWS Lambda has started supporting Ruby, Jets has since moved to the official AWS version of Ruby. They discuss Tung’s decision to open source Jets and his end goal with it. Tung explains he created Jets because he needed it, he wanted to run Ruby functions without managing a server. So by building tools like Jets he is able to help his clients and his consulting company. By open sourcing them, he is able to give back to the community. Tung talks about the development process of Jets and explains that he has already re-written Jets a couple of times. Finally, for people who want to find out more about Jets, Tung directs them to the documentation and support links on the Jets website and the YouTube videos he has posted.
