My friend Chris Bissett (lives in Raymond, Alberta Canada, married father of 5, serving in Bishopric) joins us to share his story including: Realizing he is gay before his mission—learning how to balance his faith and his sexuality alone and dealing with the shame. Navigating things in the church that were helpful and some other things that were hurtful “Rage praying” and getting an answer “God was OK with me being gay” Coming out to his wife Becky in the first year of their marriage—wanted to be honest and have a relationship on trust While his wife is very supportive, he recognized he didn't give her a choice, learning that a marriage of love needs to be built on truth (authenticity) and choice. Helpful meeting and getting great advice with Elder Holland early in their marriage Eventually couldn't keep being gay on the “back burner”—needed to come out more openly Taking away the shame—living with confidence How he moved from seeing being gay as a “sacrifice” to moving toward “consecration” and using being himself as a gay member to build Zion His powerful Wayfare Article called “Light in a Watery Darkness, Finding a Way with Consecrated Identity” (see show notes). Chris shares a super insightful story with unique insights and perspectives—all coming from a place of no-shame, integrity, and confidence. I learned so much from Chris.

Faith to Ask; Faith to Accept by Autumn Dickson One of our people from this week's readings is Elisha. He is the prophet who was called after Elijah. We don't get many of his words or sermons, but we do get to read about many miracles. One of those miracles includes a Shunammite woman who took care of Elisha. The Shunammite woman recognized Elisha as a man of God despite the fact that she lived in an idolatrous nation. Elisha and the prophet before him, Elijah, both worked to address the sins of the northern kingdom of Israel, but it only went so far. Widespread problems still occurred. Yet despite the widespread sin, the Shunammite woman chose faithfulness. She constrained Elisha to come in and eat one day. After that first time, he came in to eat as often as he passed by. The Shunammite woman takes it farther and convinces her husband to make up a room for Elisha, and Elisha stays for them some time. Because of her kindness, Elisha prophesies that she will have a son. The son later dies from a tragic reaping accident, and the Shunammite woman goes to see Elijah. 2 Kings 4:22-23 22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. 23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. Her son has died, and she wants to go to the prophet. Her husband asks, “Why are you going to the prophet? It's not a religious day.” She simply responds, “It will be okay.” She moves quickly to find Elisha and finds him at Mt. Carmel. Elisha sees her coming and sends his servant to meet her. 2 Kings 4:26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. I want to draw your attention to two details that speak volumes for this woman and teach us valuable lessons about approaching prayer. Detail one. Her husband didn't make the connection between the death of his son and his wife's desire to go and see the prophet. This implies that it didn't even cross the husband's mind to ask the prophet for a miracle. It occurred to the wife though. How often do we pray for miracles? What is our mindset towards miracles? When something tragic happens, does it even occur to us that we can ask for a miracle? Maybe we believe in miracles, but maybe we don't even think to ask for them. It makes me think of the quote from Elder Holland, “God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can't if you don't pray, and He can't if you don't dream. In short, He can't if you don't believe.” It certainly didn't occur to the husband to dream and ask the prophet to bring back his son. This isn't a pronouncement of judgment on the husband, but it does reflect the strong faith of the wife. She had enough faith to dream up something miraculous in response to the tragedy. When her son died, she went for the prophet to ask for help. As I look back on my life, I think I got the concept of faith wrong sometimes. When something tragic would hit, I would often despair and think God was mad at me or I would try to press myself into faithfulness and acceptance of whatever the Lord was sending my way. Perhaps tragedy was the Lord's way of softening my heart sometimes, and it is always the appropriate response to accept what the Lord sends your way. But faith isn't just about accepting. Sometimes the Lord sends tragedies (or allows tragedies) because He wants to bless us directly. It draws us to Him. He wants us to have enough faith that we feel comfortable approaching Him in humility. There is power in humbly approaching the Lord. You see His hand when you've asked Him for it. My husband is super handy. I'm convinced he can fix anything, and apparently, my kids are likewise convinced. Whenever they break something that matters to them, it is placed on dad's desk. And he does fix it. Conner often fixes it. One time, near the end of a pregnancy, we were all gathered in the kitchen. I turned to my husband and said, “I think my water just broke.” I didn't realize my oldest was even listening, but she didn't miss a beat. Before my husband could respond to this life-altering detail, my daughter called out, “It's okay mom! Dad can fix it!” We all laughed pretty hard, but as I write this particular post, I actually find myself in tears. My kids trust their dad. They have faith in his abilities to fix things. They have so much faith that my daughter's immediate response to the word “broke” is to call for her dad's help. I hope that I can keep building my faith until my response is that immediate. What tragedy or uncertainty are you facing right now? What miracle can you pray for? What's your happy “ending” for this particular episode in your life? Have you prayed for it? Perhaps sometimes we simply forget to ask for a miracle, and other times, perhaps we're simply afraid the answer will be no. The second detail I want to point out can likewise help with this. Detail two. She responds with, “It is well.” The Shunammite woman, in the face of horrifying tragedy, responds, “It is well,” two times. When her husband asks and when Elisha asks, that is how she chooses to respond. Her son had just died but when asked if everything is okay, she says, “It's okay.” I don't think the woman was trying to downplay the tragedy. I don't think this is one of those quintessential stories where you ask someone if they're okay, and they sigh really big and say, “It's fine,” when it's anything but. I believe the wife was declaring trust in the Lord. I believe she was saying, “It's going to be okay. I can ask the prophet to save my son, but if not, it will still be okay.” As I mentioned before, maybe it's hard to ask for a miracle when you're scared of a “no.” When Elisha tells the wife that she is going to have a son, she responds with, “Please don't lie to your handmaid.” This could signal a lack of faith, but the fact she calls herself his handmaid is significant. She is calling herself his servant. She is saying “I serve you. Please don't lie to me if this isn't a real thing, but I'm your servant.” So even the Shunammite woman was afraid to ask at some point. However, turning to the Lord, even when He is going to say “no,” can still be a cathartic experience if we approach it with the right heart. Demanding a miracle sets us up for failure because the Lord won't take away every hardship. But turning to the Lord with a specific type of heart will always bless us. We find this type of heart in the Shunammite woman. Her heart trusted in the Lord's ability to fix things, but she also declared that it would be fine if He chose not to. She would trust Him. We talked about the blessing of the first detail, but the second detail can be just as important. When the Lord says no, we're willing to say “okay.” This faith enables Him to bless us even when He won't fix things. It is this humble, trusting attitude that allows Him to comfort our hearts with the life-altering facts that we have a powerful God who orients His every action towards giving us what's best for us. We trust that He can fix anything. We trust that He loves us. We trust that if He chooses not to fix something, He's got a good reason and all things will be made up to us. Even when He has told me no, I have found special comfort when I've responded with, “Okay.” I testify that prayer is healing. I testify that it brings great blessings into our lives. Building that childlike faith that the Lord can fix anything is powerful in our life. It brings joy and hope. Building that faith even farther brings a mature faith that withstands even the hardest of tragedies on earth. It is the kind of faith that will carry us. It is the kind of faith that can't be brought down because it leads one to trust that He will fix it, even if it's not immediately. I testify that He can and will fix everything. Trusting Him soothes and carries us in the meantime. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas. She served a mission in the Indianapolis Indiana mission.

Send us a textTravis of The Holy Rebellion joins us in remembering Jeffrey R. Holland and the impact he had in so many lives.  Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was a beloved apostle and senior leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known for his powerful testimony of Jesus Christ, his teaching ability, and his lifelong commitment to strengthening the faith of Latter-day Saints. He was born December 3, 1940, in St. George, Utah, and early in life served a full-time mission in Great Britain, an experience that shaped his devotion to missionary work and discipleship. Before full-time Church service, Elder Holland was deeply involved in Church education. He earned degrees in English and religious education from Brigham Young University and a master's and Ph.D. from Yale University. He served as Dean of Religious Education, Church Commissioner of Education, and as the ninth president of BYU, where he emphasized gospel learning and helped expand educational opportunities. In April 1989, he was called as a General Authority Seventy. A few years later, on June 23, 1994, he was ordained a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, one of the highest governing bodies of the Church, charged with being a special witness of Jesus Christ to the world. As an apostle, Elder Holland's ministry touched many globally.

It would be hard to list my favorites from this weekend. . You could have heard a pin drop during Elder Holland's Amazing Grace. . I won't forget that. . And the tears that streamed down my face through the last song, because didn't we all need the heartfelt reminder that all is well? . But there was one line that captured my heart. . At the very end of a powerful weekend filled with the word of God. . This is real. . And then the sweet invitation I was hoping would come. . Let us be a part of it. . We have so much to discuss. . Who's in?

Life gets messy—shoulder surgeries, fear, uncertainty, and the weight of a fallen world. But what if repentance isn't about indictment and guilt, but about relationship and invitation?In this week's conversation, Scott and Deb open up about struggles, discouragement, and the relentless tug-of-war between despair and hope. Through scripture, personal stories, and Elder Holland's powerful reminder that we are never beyond the reach of divine love, they explore how repentance is less about shame and more about turning—turning toward Jesus Christ, who meets us in the middle of our mess.Whether you've misunderstood repentance in the past or you're longing for peace in tumultuous times, this episode offers a refreshing and hope-filled perspective on what it really means to come unto Christ.

Journey of Wisdom Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/journey-of-wisdom The Jared Halverson experience shows how deeply feminism has entered the church. Nothing Jared said in his very short video was worthy of the online backlash he received. This is eerily similar to Elder Holland's "Musket Talk" at BYU. People attacked him for things he never said. His later interview with a few women of the church focused on women being heard which had nothing to do with his video. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

They highlight the processes of personal revelation and the importance of fear not and doubt not in one's journey of faith. The Lord assures that if asked sincerely, the Spirit will confirm truths by providing peace to one's mind and heart.SPARK 1: SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED================OBJECT LESSON: “In Your Mind and in Your Heart”: Unfolding Mysteries FlowersEtsy Printable Link: [LINK SOON!]QUESTIONS: - What do you think it means for us to stand by Joseph?

Holland's tender and hope-filled message, “An High Priest of Good Things to Come.” Together, we'll reflect on what it means to trust in Christ's promises, especially when the blessings we're longing for feel far away.Elder Holland's words remind us that no matter where we are in our story, Christ is walking with us. Christ's Atonement offers us light, strength, and the assurance that good things are ahead.This is a conversation about holding on, trusting in God's timing, and leaning into the hope that only the Savior can bring.
