TW: I mention that I experienced child abuse brieflyPicture a moment when you've made a mistake, and you're sure it's unforgivable. You don't want to do it again, yet you find yourself repeating the same errors. Our guest today, Brother Bradley R. Wilcox, author of The Continuous Atonement, addresses this very human predicament. His book presents a hopeful message, asserting that Christ's forgiveness is available to us even when we fall short repeatedly. We shift gears to discuss the latest updates in youth programs within the Church of Jesus Christ. Adapting to the complexities of the modern world, these programs are designed to channel discipleship and guide our youth in their spiritual journey. We delve into Steve Lund's insightful thoughts about 'the new eagle' and how these programs align with the Come, Follow Me curriculum. The interplay between head and heart in faith, we find, is a powerful compass.As we navigate life's ups and downs, higher principles often act as our guiding light. In the new For Strength of Youth pamphlet, we explore how faith, a blend of intellect and emotion, helps us to know Christ better. We also discuss the Aaronic Priesthood Quorum theme and the Young Women's theme—memorizing them can reinforce our understanding of identity and purpose. In conclusion, we discover the transformative power of prayer and testimony, and how they strengthen our bond with our heavenly father. Prepare to be inspired, enlightened and uplifted as we journey through this episode together.Brad is currently a professor in BYU's Department of Ancient Scripture.  Bradley R. Wilcox was sustained as the First Counselor in the Young Men General Presidency for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 1, 2023. Prior to his call, he had been serving as Second Counselor since April 2020.

It is easy to get caught in the hustle and ignore ourselves and others without even meaning to. But there is magic in getting more intentional about being present when we are in the presence of others! In this episode we explore the power of seeing ourselves and others as God sees us, and what that looks like in our day-to-day lives! Michelle Craig lives in Orem, UT, and currently serves as the First Counselor in the General Young Women's Presidency. She is a mom, a grandma, and loves chips and chocolate—preferably together! “When we are in the presence of other people it is a holy place.” Top Takeaways from this episode! God sees us as his beloved children. We have divine DNA! We always have access to heaven. It is important we set aside intentional time to be still and access that connection. When we share what we love about others with them we can help them see themselves how God sees them! How exciting! When we are in the presence of other people it is a holy place. Because people are holy! In times of doubt try asking God how he sees you. Trust that through Christ weak things can be made strong!  Something to think about: What is something we are doing that we should stop doing? What is something we are not doing that we should start doing?  Small and simple weekly challenge: Let's try putting away our phones when we are with other people and be intentional about communicating the good we see in them! Offer a sincere compliment that isn't based on appearance! Links: Eyes to See by Michelle See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gzim Ocakoglu, First Counselor on Mobility and Transport, Delegation of the European Union to the US (Washington, DC). Gzim explains how decarbonization of transportation is happening across the European Union and what that means. He discusses the goals of the EU's Green Deal, how the European Union and the United States are cooperating, and some of the differences and similarities. Finally, he touches on how Russia's aggression in Ukraine affects the EU decarbonization efforts. The EU aims to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The EU's Green Deal includes an ambitious package of measures to reach that goal, such as cutting greenhouse gas emissions, investing in cutting-edge research and innovation, preserving Europe's natural environment, and more. Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities. Road transport is by far the biggest emitter accounting for more than 70% of all GHG emissions, followed by maritime and air. Decarbonization of transportation – road, air, and maritime – is a key component of the EU strategy. In the United States, transportation surpassed electricity as the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2017, so decarbonizing the sector is key to addressing climate change. President Biden's initial proposal in the American Jobs Plan has been scaled back significantly in negotiations, and it remains to be seen how the recently passed Infrastructure Bill will help address the President's energy and climate strategy when it comes to transportation.

Over the past couple of days, faith leaders from around the world met for the G20 Interfaith Forum in Bologna, Italy, focusing on making friends and religious freedom. Boyd looks at what Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Sister Sharon Eubank, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had to say. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode we take a second look at Sister Sharon Eubank's talk from the October 2020 General Conference. Sister Eubank is the First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am a HUGE fan of Sharon Eubank and I get so much out of her talks, so I wanted to go back and study this a bit more and share some of my thoughts. My mission president was Elder Neil L Andersen, who is now serving in the Quorum of the Twelve. I remember that he would tell us missionaries to make the talks from General Conference our walk and talk for the next 6 months. I need to admit that when I was younger, I did not feel that anything said during the Womens' Conference was meant for me so I really did not pay much attention to it. It was not broadcast on the internet and I didn't go watch it at the stake center, so it was easy to ignore. I have repented for that and sometimes talks from women's conference are some of my favorites. I was a big fan of Sisters Sheri Dew and Julie Beck and started to listen more and more to the women's sessions. Now with it being streamed live on the internet, it's much easier to hear the talks. I really look forward to hearing from many of the general auxiliaries. As I said in the introduction, I've become a big fan of Sharon Eubank. Eubank is a familiar name to Utah natives. Mark Eubank was the white jacket-wearing weather guy on KSL TV. When the camera would go to him and you saw that he was wearing the white jacket, you knew that snow was coming. His son, I'm assuming Sharon's brother, Kevin Eubank, took over as the KSL meteorologist in 2006. Sister Eubank is currently the First Counselor in the General Presidency of the Relief Society. If you don't know what that is, it is the Church's organization for 6 million female members 18 and over. She continues her role as the president of Latter-day Charities, the humanitarian organization for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a side note, I would love to work there some day, so if anyone is listening from there, and you have a position open, shoot me a message! I know the glamorous life of selling cables must be a skill that could be used in Latter-Day Charities. I often joke that my company is a non-profit, but that is not by design! Haha. Especially in 2020…. Aye aye aye. OK. Tangent accomplished.
