The guys jump right in with Brent to revisit the value and purpose of setbacks in our lives. Brent describes himself as "extraordinarily ordinary" and the lessons that he shares from his story are timeless classics, including:PerseveranceFocusing on who we become vs. what we doBeing enoughOvercoming our sense of inadequacyTaking risksLooking back, his "rich life" has come as a result of a hundred little choices that help him to build his character, his courage, and his faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throw in some powerful lessons on prayer and receiving personal revelation and you get an instant RMIT classic. Show NotesWho Said It..."Forty-three years old, and the war occurred half a lifetime ago, and yet remembering makes it now.

Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford President and CEO Gordon B. Ferguson was our guest on The Action Line Tuesday morning. Some of the items that were discussed included: -

To live selflessly seems like one of the most courageous and freeing decisions a person can make. A theme of selfishness and selflessness kept making its way to me, so I'm bringing the theme to this episode! Neil and I talk about the theme of selfishness or the “What's in it for me?” mentality and people embracing the opposite by being selfless. We discuss what it takes to change from one side to the other, selfishness to selflessness. Now, we're all human, and thinking about ‘self' is natural. For our talk, “selfish” isn't referring to the self-care version of “putting yourself first.” Selfishness in this episode is the kind of “selfish” that puts ‘self' at the expense of others. During the episode, I read quotes from Neal A. Maxwell and James E. Faust to help identify what it means to embody “selfishness.” They inspired me to consider the way people interact with each other and show up, myself included. Neil and I exchange examples of selflessness and deeply inspiring stories of sacrifice that I'm almost certain will leave you wanting to be selfless. Hear our childhood memories, heroic stories we know of, and awe-inspiring moments of selfless behavior. Going from story to story we dispel myths about the perception of success, competition, and worldly possession. Our perception of these ideas, usually influenced by society, impacts the way we interact with each other more than we think. We're taking time to deconstruct selfishness and build selflessness. Selfishness has layers: the deeds we do, what we wish for others, and more. Each layer is suffocating. More selflessness can be a freeing experience. While Neil and I talk, we find that sacrifice and personal growth are pathways to selflessness. The only thing left for us to do is make an effort to live selflessly like the stories in this episode.   Time Stamps: [00:38] - The first spark of inspiration for our talk today is from a Neal A. Maxwell quote that made us understand selfishness differently. [02:51] - Following the first spark, another spark of inspiration came that reminds me of the 1989 movie Field of Dreams. [04:33] - We should all strive to be genuinely happy for others. [06:26] - Neil expresses how cheering for others is so counterintuitive to the myth of success society sells. [08:25] - Worldly possessions are simply objects; our view about the objects is what gives us peace or makes us feel miserable. [10:15] - I share a personal story about my childhood, a grand piano, and the selflessness of my parents. [13:12] - By choosing to be more selfless, we're setting ourselves up to be more free. [15:35] - Neil gives credit to his admirable father who worked on personal growth over the years then reminisces about childhood. [17:28] - Neil tells the story of trying to hide a motorcycle ticket from his father. Was he able to keep the secret? [19:09] - I have such a strong memory of my grandpa's transition into a new life that positively impacted my life when I was younger. [21:36] - We take a lesson of selflessness from history in a story of the pioneers who travelled to the West during the 1800s. [24:30] - Being selfless is a heroic act. [27:29] - In tough and uncomfortable moments, we have an opportunity to show up selflessly. [29:47] - Are we willing to move closer toward a more selfless life?   Supporting Resources: “Repent of [Our] Selfishness” Talk by Neal A.

What do you do when you start to lose your faith? A lot of people we love are struggling with their faith right and grasping for truth right now. These are still really trying times as the world is still upside down. Today, we are sharing some simple steps you can take to strengthen your belief in God and build on a foundation of truth that will not let you down.  I’ve felt strongly compelled to share this message THREE times today and I hope it reaches whoever it needs to reach and that the stories we share today will strengthen your faith like they did mine. If you are feeling lost, alone, and far away from God, let this be a message to you that He is there and that He wants to bring you back in. God wants to envelop YOU in His LOVE.  Take whatever steps you need to let God into your life. Be humble and willing to let God direct you because he's just waiting to bless you and give you the direction, faith, joy, and peace you need. In this episode, you will hear: A story about a man who was nervous to marry truth and his action If it’s true, then what else matters? How you approach questions in life will determine the course of your life and the course of your faith and belief in God Not all questions are equal – Answer the primary questions first and then the secondary questions. How we receive answers to those questions is where our faith can come from. Learning the truth by the process of elimination and attempting to eliminate every doubt will never work.  We can't supplement spiritual connection with God with something else.  The gospel is truly simple. The times we're supposed to grow the most through our faith is Satan’s opportunity to bring people away from God. But it’s also God's opportunity to help you grow into the next phase of whoever you need to be. Overcoming self-doubt: God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies those who are called. Finding my confidence in my faith and trust in God Jesus Christ’s promise that when we build upon His rock, we will not fail Supporting Resources: “Stand Forever” talk by Lawrence E.

In this episode...The guys sit down with Mr. Lupe Cordova to hear his story of faith and family. The cool thing about Lupe's family story is that there might not be another one like it. Lupe lets us in on his early plans for his life and how God had something a little different in the works. He models the principle of "letting God prevail in our life". Other topics that Lupe teaches the guys about include:Life PrioritiesMaximizing moments we haveFinding faith in tragedyBelieving in others AND telling them about itOvercoming addictionStruggling with infertilityFaith in adversityAdoptionFoster CareShow NotesWho said it..."It's not the daily increase but daily decrease.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints used to be more evenly split between the two major political parties, even supporting Democrats Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson for U.S. president. But something happened in the 1960s. Latter-day Saints began moving to the right and eventually became a reliably Republican voting bloc, a trend that continues to this day. Though there were many social factors behind this shift, one high-placed church leader may have helped shape Mormon political views for decades. His name: Ezra Taft Benson. A Latter-day Saint apostle and onetime church president, Benson held political positions that went further right than mainstream Republicans. He spoke out against communism — even calling Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. “Communists” — considered running on a presidential ticket with ardent segregationist George Wallace, and wanted to name a member of the right-wing John Birch Society to the faith’s top quorums. But he got plenty of pushback for linking politics and religion from other church leaders including David O. McKay, Gordon B. Hinckley and Boyd K. Packer. Matthew Harris, author of “Watchman on the Tower: Ezra Taft Benson and the Making of the Mormon Right” and a history professor at Colorado State University in Pueblo, joins us today via Zoom to talk about Benson and his influence on Latter-day Saint politics.

We share stories about learning to work hard, and lots of favorite quotations on the principle of work and the payoff you reap from your effort with anything in life. I dive a little deeper into what life looked like as I tried to become a piano prodigy from the age of 10-18 and Neil shares some of his most impactful takeaways from the years he worked serving as a missionary for our church.   Show Notes:   “Stick to your task” Quoted by Thomas S. Monson https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1972/04/finishers-wanted?lang=eng   “If you want a thing bad enough…” Quoted in a talk by Vaughn J.

“Does anyone stay together anymore?” And “is anyone actually happy in their marriage, or is it all smoke and mirrors?” These are some of the comments I saw on social media a couple weeks ago after the announcement of Dave and Rachel Hollis’s divorce. While we obviously have no idea what happened there, it sparked a lot of conversations in my life and even between Neil and me about what really keeps people together and what the makeup is of a happy marriage. Today we’re sharing some of the tips, advice and actionable takeaways that have greatly helped strengthen our marriage that we hope will help you too.   Show Notes:   Talk “In Praise of Those Who Serve” Dieter F.

Burton Howard https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2003/04/eternal-marriage?lang=eng   Talk by President Gordon B. Hinckley  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1997/03/a-conversation-with-single-adults?lang=eng   “There seems to be a superstition among many thousands of our young [men and women] who hold hands and smooch in the drive-ins that marriage is a cottage surrounded by perpetual hollyhocks to which a perpetually young and handsome husband comes home to a perpetually young and [beautiful] wife. When the hollyhocks wither and boredom and bills appear the divorce courts are jammed. … “Anyone who imagines that bliss [in marriage] is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. “[The fact is] most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. … “Life is like an old-time rail journey—delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. “The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride” (“Big Rock Candy Mountains,” Deseret News, 12 June 1973, A4).

Rodger Dean Duncan has been advisor to United States presidential cabinet officers in two administrations and to top business leaders in multiple industries. He’s author of several books including the award-winning, bestselling CHANGE-friendly LEADERSHIP, and co-author of Leadership for Saints. He also writes a regular leadership column for Forbes.com, a platform that reaches about 75 million readers each month. A descendant of 19th-century Baptist evangelists and a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he has served as bishop (three times), stake president, high councilor, and stake mission president. Today he is patriarch of the Liberty Missouri Stake and a sealer in the Kansas City Missouri Temple. In the early 1980s he served on the advisory council that first recommended that “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” be added as subtitle to The Book of Mormon. He is a father of four and grandfather to twelve. Highlights 04:05 How Duncan came to coauthor the book, Leadership for Saints, with Ed J. Pinegar 07:14 Much book content came from training meetings produced as a stake president and articles he wrote. 09:25 His conversion story: At the lockers after a lesson on the “Mormon trekkers”, a cute high-school classmate asked, “Would you like to know more?” 11:30 Techniques and models of leadership from impactful leader-mentors: A Waco, Texas bishop told him, “This morning, you failed the Lord…”, blessing his entire life. 14:55 Reproving with sharpness means with clarity, not harshness. 15:52 Train leaders and future leaders whenever you can. 17:49 Sources of Duncan’s passion for studying leadership include serving in student government and working as a political, business, and investigative journalist. 18:35 Young editor, Jim Lehrer, taught him to look at the gap between what a leader aspires to and what is accomplished. 19:41 Jim Lehrer also taught effective listening as an investigative reporter: “Count to five silently.” This leads to elaboration, new directions, and psychological space for self discovery. 23:52 He worked as a consultant to cabinet officers in two White House administrations, a laboratory for both effective and dysfunctional leadership behavior. 24:35 Paths at Purdue: After earning a PhD in Organizational Behavior at Purdue, a young man who heard him talk at BYU decided to follow his path at Purdue: his name? David A. Bednar. 25:49 Premortal memories: Experts may unknowingly teach gospel principles: premortal memories can translate into mortal teachings. 27:56 Councils: Therefore, now what? In the early 80s, he served on an advisory council that reported to the First Presidency. Their roll-up-your sleeves work sessions included George and Lenore Romney, Gordon Jump, Gordon B. Hinckley, Neal L. Maxwell, Bruce R. McConkie, Boyd K. Packer, and others. For example, one thing that came out of these included the recommendation to add a subtitle to the Book of Mormon (Another Testament of Jesus Christ). At the end of these varied discussions, Boyd K. Packer would simply say, “Therefore, now what?” to invite the council to seek what course of action they should take. 31:20 Councils are for counseling together. Make it safe for everybody in the room to offer an opinion. It’s foolhardy for a leader to try to take charge of everything and make all decisions. 32:11 One primary responsibility of a leader is not to create more followers but rather more leaders. The renewed emphasis to teach the gospel in the home requires a higher level of leadership in the home. 33:07 Three Time Zones: When you make a decision as a council or an individual, you should think in terms of time travel through three different time zones: (1) How will a particular decision square with the past? Decisions made and covenants made in the past? Expectations expressed by others? (2) How will a potential decision square with needs in the present? (3) How will that decision bless people in the future...

Guest BioReverend France A. Davis, pastor emeritus, of the Salt Lake City's Calvary Baptist Church, served his congregation as its pastor for over 45 years. In late December 2019 he stepped down. Still active in his congregation, still serving, he remains an influencer for his faith, and for Utah's Civil Rights efforts, and for the state's growing African-American community. Davis came to Salt Lake City in 1972 to teach and to attend graduate school at the University of Utah. He was appointed instructor in Communication and in Ethnic Studies, earning a distinguished teacher award from the university. Davis also retired as an adjunct associate professor in 2014.Davis has published several books, including a memoir, with co-author Nayra Atiya, entitled: France Davis: An American Story Told (see links below). Among numerous awards and recognitions, he was given an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Utah in 1993, the Salt Lake Community College in 1997, Dixie State College in 2002, an official citation from the Utah House of Representatives, in recognition of his outstanding service to Utah in 2006. He also received among other awards the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award, given to him at the FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC in 2014.SummaryDavis spoke to “Speak Your Piece” host Brad Westwood in detail about his first coming to Utah, his interactions with Utah society and its predominate church, the African American story in Utah--in Salt Lake City and Ogden--with the story beginning long before the Mormon Pioneers arrived in Utah. He describes his career efforts at furthering civil rights; what African American life was like in predominantly white Utah (including during Utah's pre 1970s, so called, “separate but equal” society), and his half century of service to the Calvary Baptist Church.  At the end of the second segment, Davis outlined what he describes as four essential actions Utah society must take, to further economic opportunity, equality and justice, for all of Utah's citizens.   Davis also describes his first Salt Lake City landlord, who after meeting him in person, rejected renting to him, despite paying an advance deposit. Davis also described his very first encounter with a LDS Church leader (which thereafter became extremely productive) when a security detail asked him to leave an airport elevator, so that the “president” could use it first. Davis refused, and awkwardly remained in the elevator with whom he later discovered was with LDS Church “president” Harold B. Lee.   With insightful personal detail Davis describes placing a marker on USU Price Campus in 1983, for African American miner Robert Marshall who was lynched and buried there, in Price, Utah in 1925, with a thousand spectators (Davis' life was threatened by coming to Price); how Salt Lake City's African American community was largely destroyed with the coming and enlargement of I-15 Freeway; Utah government's launching with his and other's insistence, of the Martin Luther King Commission; and finally his working relationship with Utah's governors (starting with Calvin Rampton and ending with Governor Gary Herbert) and with various LDS Church Presidents (starting with Gordon B.

I interview Rick Thompson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, on how to help full-time missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who struggle with pornography issues. These missionaries aren't immune to the temptations and struggles of pornography, yet, they often suffer in shame and silence because of their calling as representatives of Jesus Christ to preach His gospel. In this podcast, Rick talks about ways to support missionaries who are preparing to serve, those serving, and those who come home with struggles. Resources: 1.

It demands strength and vitality. It demands mental sharpness and capacity. … Missionary work is not a rite of passage in the Church. It is a call extended by the President of the Church to those who are worthy and able to accomplish it. …Good physical and mental health is vital. …There are parents who say, ‘If only we can get Johnny on a mission, then the Lord will bless him with health.’ It seems not to work out that way. Rather, whatever ailment or physical or mental shortcoming a missionary has when he comes into the field only becomes aggravated under the stress of the work.We simply must face up to the facts. President Gordon B. Hinckley speaks about physical and emotional challenges missionaries may have before serving missions.

Music acts as a through line or soundtrack for many of our lives. Snippets of a song can take us back in time or propel us forward. Certain lyrics may be our “go to” tools if we need cheering, calming, or a good cry. This service will be a chance to reflect on the many ways music plays a role in our lives. #UU #YEG 1 Welcome by Karen Mills 0:00 2 Prelude “Music of My Dreams” by Jeff Funk, sung by Chorealis 2:25 3 Opening Words “We Summon Ourselves” by Gordon B.

In this episode of Stories of Hope in Hard Times, Tamara K. Anderson interviews Hannah Coles. Hannah shares how she overcame her own internal struggles after her daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia.Learning A New Identity After A Dyslexia DiagnosisHannah’s BioHannah Coles is a mom to 4 amazing children and has been married for over 18 years. She has been homeschooling her kids for over 12 years and absolutely loves it. She’s a voracious reader with an ongoing goal of reading 100 books each year. Hannah loves learning and teaching, and considers herself a teacher at heart, whether that’s at home, at church, with music, and in her career as a life coach. She loves being able to uplift others and help with their suffering.Hannah’s Story100 Book GoalHannah says this fun and exciting goal of reading 100 books a year wasn’t hers. She heard an author being interviewed, and the author mentioned that he read 100 books per year to help him get ideas as a writer. Hannah thought that sounded fun, so for the past 8 years she has made that goal. Sometimes in December she has to do a lot of reading to catch up and make her goal. Hannah says reading has been a great blessing in her life. She reads fiction and nonfiction alike, but she does stay away from dark and scary books. She says picking a favorite book is hard, but if she had to pick one it would be Wonder. Wonder a middle grade book that she says touched her heart and made her cry several times. She also loves the movie, but says that of course, the book is always better.Dyslexic DaughterHannah’s third child has dyslexia. Hannah says that when her oldest daughter was born, she got lots of one-on-one attention since she was the only child. She read very early, and everything was great. Her second child, a son, was reading early as well, finishing Harry Potter by the time he was six. Hannah says she was giving herself a pat on the back, thinking she was a great mother and teacher and homeschooler. Then when her third daughter was started getting close to being school age, Hannah had a little bit of a panic. She realized they were behind on reading. Every year Hannah would notice that she wasn’t improving in her reading. At eight years old she was still struggling to read at a first grade level. Hannah just kept thinking something couldn’t be right and felt like an unsuccessful mother and homeschooler.The ChallengesHannah would be helping her daughter read a paragraph, and the same word would come up multiple times in the paragraph. Every time, her daughter would have to stop and really struggle to get the word. Hannah says it was a painstaking process to read. So she went to the school to see if they could help. They told her they couldn’t, and that she’d need to go to a doctor. Well, her doctor told her that she needed to get help from the school. For years Hannah went back and forth between school and doctor. Eventually Hannah and her family moved. Through divine design within the first week of living in their new home they met a family who had a child with dyslexia. The mother told Hannah she needed to go see an ophthalmologist to get her daughter tested.Hannah’s daughter was tested and diagnosed with several forms of dyslexia, and the knowledge and awareness that Hannah and her daughter both had helped them start to navigate through the journey.Different Types of DyslexiaHannah says that there are a variety of forms of dyslexia and they stem off of a handful of major forms; surface, phonological, visual, primary, and mathematical. Hannah found out that there was dyslexia on both sides of her family that could have contributed to her daughter’s diagnosis.Hannah’s daughter wasn’t even able to follow the lines on a page and she would constantly lose her place. The doctor walked through how Hannah’s daughter was reading and it made much more sense. Hannah found the entire process fascinating. Her ophthalmologist told her that there was also a vision problem that was creating difficulty for her daughter. They continued with testing, got special glasses, and continued doing therapy at the doctor’s and at home. This helped strengthen and align her eyes. She didn’t have vision problems except for when she was reading, because she needed the very narrow focus.Hannah’s Daughter TodayHannah’s daughter is doing a lot better now but she still struggles a little. She has an IEP, and Hannah’s mom does homeschooling through a charter school so they have plenty of resources. The diagnosis helped Hannah’s mom get her the teaching she needed. Her daughter also was able to get weight off her shoulders and understand that nothing was wrong with her, and communicate what she needed from her education. It increased her confidence, her understanding, and her ability to read. Hannah’s daughter was diagnosed when she was 8, and she’s now ten. And she’s doing absolutely amazing.Hannah’s Feelings As A MotherHannah felt like a great mom with her older two kids, which she says was completely prideful of her. She made their success about her, and was attaching their results with who she was. So when her daughter with dyslexia came along and wasn’t having good results, it hit Hannah’s identity. She started questioning if she was a good enough teacher and mother, wondering what she should be doing differently. Hannah says she made it about her again, and that was difficult. She needed to separate her journey from her daughter’s journey.Hannah says it’s easy to put your identity in your kids, but that creates problems. Kids have their own agency, we can be the best teacher in the world and they can still choose not to learn. They can still choose not to enjoy or to listen. Hannah says understanding how to separate her journey from her children was crucial for her. She says she had to redefine what made her a successful mother. Before, success was based on what her kids would produce and their results. She had to learn that being a successful mother meant loving her children wholeheartedly, providing for them and protecting them. Hannah says she now knows she’s a good mother because she lets her children have agency while constantly loving, and guiding them.Lessons Hannah Learned From Dyslexia1. Reframe thoughts and expectationsShe learned that benchmarks aren’t what success looks like. She had to reframe and recognize that everyone learns at different times and paces.2. Stop “catastrophizing”Hannah was instantly worried her daughter would never get a job, and worried what people would think of her. She worried about judgment. She had to stop creating an imagined catastrophe and focus on what she could do to help her daughter.3. Everything is going to be OKHannah learned she didn’t have to answer every fear, but she could just tell herself that everything was going to be OK in the end. Journeys are different, and that’s all OK.4. So what!?Hannah had to ask herself if all the scary things she was imagining actually happened, so what? Then she would carefully answer the question and found the outcome didn’t really matter because she loved her daughter no matter what.5. Take things one at a timeHannah had to learn to “pick a number” instead of worrying about everything all at once. She would pick one thing to worry about or address, and just focus on that.6. Take care of yourselfHannah was worried about her children so she wasn’t taking care of herself the way she needed to. She was projecting her fears and anxiety onto her daughter, and it showed up in her needing to have her daughter meet a certain pace or expectation. When Hannah took care of her fears and anxiety, she kept those feelings away from her daughter, and felt much better. Hannah uses the analogy of pouring from an empty bucket. She had to giver to herself first so she had enough to give to her children. Filling her bucket too thought work and lots of effort and time.7. Everyone has hard daysHannah says it was important to recognize that her husband and other people in her life also had hard days. She had to get to a place to notice and appreciate what other people were going through as well.8. Validate and appreciateValidating and appreciating ourselves and others is key, Hannah says. We want other people to thank us and high five us, and we can do that for ourselves. Most of the time other people can’t give you all the things you need. You have to be able to give that to yourself.Spiritual GrowthPrayerHannah journaled to help get over the thoughts and fears she was going through. She also prayed, a lot. She says a quote from Gordon B. Hinckley helped her. An interviewer once asked him how many times a day he prayed. He said he just prayed once, because the entire day was a long conversation with God. Hannah loved this idea, and recognized that’s what she was doing all day too. It was a constant conversation asking for guidance and help.Personal RevelationHannah got a lot of personal revelation that helped her feel love, and get answers. She always felt comforted that everything was going to be OK. She felt that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and that she wasn’t trapped in a cave.God’s Time FrameShe also learned that God’s time frame is different than her timeframe. She says God has an abundance of time and she had to put herself in that mindset instead of her finite perspective.Love Is The AnswerHannah is a firm believer that love is always the answer. We show up as our best selves when we’re stemming from love. Because fear and lack and scarcity, they’re not encompassed in love. Love is all certainty, hope,  assurance and encouragement. Hannah says when she showed up with love instead of lack, it made all the difference. It helped her to stay present and not be distracted. When she was motivated by love, it was all about her daughter and what she needed from her mother. She could let go of the worldly expectations of what things should look like and to really just embody the abundance that, that God offers. Love is always the answer.Advice For OthersThe biggest piece of advice Hannah has is to get children tested if you’re concerned. Hannah says testing and learning everything you can can help you unlock what your children are seeing and be able to help them find success. She also says that when you learn more about something, you remove a lot of the fear out of it.Hannah teaches The Three C’s which are curiosity, compassion, and charity. These are helpful when dealing with struggles and working to understand someone else. The more you sit with curiosity and allow yourself the space to be curious, it leads to compassion. Hannah had that curiosity to get tested and learn about her daughter’s reading. When she understood what her daughter was going through, it instantly lead her to compassion. She could put herself in her daughter’s shoes a little bit and feel how she felt. Compassion always leads to charity, which is love. For Hannah, charity is the pure love of Christ. That love is showing up for other people as your best. So curiosity leads to compassion, which always leads to charity.Career As A Life CoachHannah didn’t really know what a life coach was, and wasn’t looking for it when she stumbled on it. She was struggling with inadequacy and feeling like she wasn’t good enough with her identity shift. She felt like her life looked great from the outside, but the inside was a mess. One of her good friends told her about the podcasts she was listening to (Hannah didn’t even know what a podcast was at the time!) and encouraged Hannah to download the app and listen to it. So she did it to appease her friend, and she found a podcast that resonated with her.One of the top podcasts that came up was the Life Coach School with Brooke Castillo. So she started listening to her and one of the first things Brooke said is that she’s a life coach. Hannah was confused, and admits it sounded hokey. By the end of Brooke’s episode, Hannah was sold. She learned that the things in her life that she was struggling with were optional, that she could transform the hand she was dealt. Hannah says that transformed her life. When people know that they don’t have to suffer and they can choose how they feel about their circumstances, it can transform their lives too. She is very passionate about helping people find that peace and understanding in their lives.There Is Always HopeWe can’t choose our circumstances in life, Hannah didn’t get to choose that her daughter had dyslexia. But Hannah can choose how she interprets that. She can make it a problem, or understand that it’s part of life and it doesn’t have to be a problem.Hannah has several Bible verses that have helped her on her journey. One is 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” This verse has been an anchor for Hannah because anytime she is feeling afraid, she realizes that feeling isn’t from God. God gives us power to overcome our struggles, He gives us love so we can be filled with that warmth and peace. We don’t have to struggle or create more of a struggle than there needs to be. We can feel love and peace.Hannah’s Resource RecommendationsHannah says that everything we do is practicing, including the thoughts we choose to think. Hannah uses the Ponderize App to have her scriptural reminder pop up on her phone several times a day. If her thoughts are wandering down a different path, her reminder comes to help her refocus.Mindset by Dr. Carol S. Dweck is a great book to read. It focuses on a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset. The book goes into depth about these concepts and how a growth mindset helps you overcome challenges. It helped Hannah figure out her journey with her daughter.Hannah also loves what Audrey Hepburn says: “Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m possible.”You can reach Hannah at www.thecatalystcoaching.com or on social media.Facebook: Hannah ColesInstagram: The Catalyst Coach

Wheeew what a doozey! We cover Mormon Money from the 1930s to the 1980s. When this much money gets involved and a church grows to have a significant international presence, money begets politics and politics feed money. Once Franklin S. Richards died another needed to carry the Mormon Money torch; here enters Henry Dinwoodey Moyle, a man with grand ideas and exponential growth intentions. He rolls out new missionary programs, local “baseball baptisms” sports leagues, carbon copy chapels, the new 28-story Church Office Building, and a litany of other aggressive expansion programs. After bankrupting many companies and chewing through untold resources, Moyle died leaving the church $32 million in debt but on a good path toward global expansion. N. Eldon Tanner, with the help of Marion Romney, takes the helm of Mormon Money and rights the sinking ship by filling leadership with more businessmen and lawyers than ever before. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also began to gain a national political foothold with George Romney running for President and subsequently being appointed Nixon’s HUD Secretary. Gordon B. Hinckley is brought in as Tanner’s protege to take the Mormon Money colossus rampaging across the planet. Part 3 will discuss the recent revelations concerning the church’s $100 billion in holdings and Ensign Peak Advisors.

Each time we take the sacrament, we covenant to keep God's commandments and always remember Him." How often, though, do we actually remember Christ? Support the show.

Most days, we try to provide episodes that will help explain Mormon doctrine (doctrine from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). But every once in awhile, we release a totally random, slightly strange episode. And that's what you're getting today! In this episode, we share unusual (little known) stories about the prophets in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons). There are 17 prophets and we talk about ALL OF THEM. Have you heard the stories we mention? Let us know in the comments below! The prophets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are as follows: Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, Joseph F. Smith, Heber J. Grant, George Albert Smith, David O. McKay, Joseph Fielding Smith, Harold B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson, Howard W. Hunter, Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, Russell M. Nelson

This is part one of a group of episodes I plan on doing for this podcast, where we focus on those beautiful lessons that our loved and adored prophets have taught us mostly in their examples of love, sacrifice and truth!! So come along with me today as I talk about the lessons I have learned from Joseph Smith, Spencer W. Kimball and Gordon B. Hinckley

¿Estás impidiendo que alguien venga a Cristo? ¿Qué estás haciendo con lo que Dios te ha dado? Estas son las preguntas que respondemos en el episodio de esta semana de EstudioEn15. Estamos acercando a los últimos momentos de la vida de Jesús. Hay muchas grandes lecciones para estudiar en la lectura de esta semana. Para ayudarles a comenzar sus estudios esta semana, este episodio analiza las lecciones aprendidas en la historia de Zaqueo en relación con la historia del Mendigo Ciego. También hablamos de la Parábola de las Minas y los Talentos. Notas: Para ayudarles con su estudio de la Entrada Triunfal y la Limpieza del Templo, pueden escuchar nuestros episodios anteriores titulados "Pascua de Resurrección - Domingo y Lunes” https://anchor.fm/estudioen15/episodes/Pascua-de-Resurreccin-Domingo-e3nvkf https://anchor.fm/estudioen15/episodes/Pascua-de-Resurreccin-Lunes-e3o77v I. Zaqueo y el Mendigo Ciego “Hace sesenta y tres años, mientras prestaba servicio misional en las Islas Británicas, mi compañero y yo le enseñamos el Evangelio a un joven a quien tuve el placer de bautizar. Era una persona culta, refinada y estudiosa. Me sentía tan orgulloso de aquel talentoso joven que acababa de unirse a la Iglesia; pensaba que él reunía todas las cualidades para algún día llegar a ser un líder entre nuestra gente…. A él se le dio una pequeña responsabilidad en la rama en Londres. Al no saber lo que se esperaba de él, cometió un simple error. El que estaba a la cabeza de la organización donde el prestaba servicio era un hombre al que puedo describir mejor como una persona parca y dada a la critica. En una manera un tanto despiadada, confrontó a mi amigo que había cometido el error. Esa noche, de aquel salón alquilado, el joven salió lastimado y herido por su oficial superior Se dijo a sí mismo “Si esa es la clase de personas que son, entonces no volveré”.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “Los Conversos y Los Hombres Jóvenes,” Conferencia General, Abril 1997) José Smith - Historia 1:28 “¿Por qué razón habremos de ser tan crueles e hirientes con los demás? ¿Por qué no extendemos nuestra amistad a todos los que nos rodean? ¿Por qué hay tanta amargura y hostilidad? Eso no es parte del Evangelio de Jesucristo.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “La necesidad de más bondad,” Conferencia General, Abril 2006) II. La Parábola de las Minas y Talentos Doctrinas y Convenios 82:3 “Los hombres y las mujeres que entreguen su vida a Dios descubrirán que Él puede hacer mucho más con sus vidas que lo que ellos mismos pueden hacer. Les dará más gozo, ampliará su visión, avivará su mente, fortalecerá sus músculos, elevará sus espíritus, multiplicará sus bendiciones, aumentará sus oportunidades, confortará sus almas, les dará amigos y los colmará de paz. Quienquiera que pierda su vida al servicio de Dios hallará la vida eterna” (Ezra Taft Benson, “Enseñanzas de los Presidentes de la Iglesia: Ezra Taft Benson,” Capítulp 1: El Gran Mandamiento: Amar al Señor, 2014) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/estudioen15/support

My dear friend Bob Verstege (in his early 60’s) shares his remarkable life story joining the church at age 14, serving a mission in Chicago, breaking off an engagement to a women knowing he is gay, finding his husband Jay (also a RM and a world renowned cardiologist) and spending 25 years together. Bob also shared the tender story of Jay dying from Alzheimer’s, caring for him all those years, being at his bedside during his passing and their close relationship with Heavenly Father. It’s a beautiful love story. After Jay died, Bob continued to feel impressions from Heavenly Father including to return to the Church where he is a member in good standing and serves as the Ward Clerk in his ward. Bob wanted to add a few comments below that he had run out of time to say. "Strength lies in differences, not in similarities." Stephen R. Covey I want listeners to know this is my journey and path I took, it isn't a path or an example that people should emulate or feel that I'm dictating to others. I appreciate and respect everyone's journey. Though I'm a big advocate for the Church and the blessings that come along with it, I do realize there's paths that are joyful, satisfying and spiritual without being a member. I'm grateful for anyone that receives love, joy and peace through other avenues. Another point I would like to make is when you listen to the podcast, I would have you focus on the teachings of Christ, because that is who I tried to emulate and the others who were involved tried to emulate Christ's teachings as well - we tried to show empathy, charity and love for each other. One of my favorite scriptures is 2 Nephi 32:3. Lastly, I brief recognition for some others; my former bishop in Linwood, Bishop Darrin Bird, a great servant of the Lord. The wonderful brothers and sisters of Fountain Hills and Linwood wards, who support and love me. Then a special appreciation for two cherished friends, Brother Jorgensen and Brother Dean. They became my first friends as I return to the church. Each of them loved, supported and encouraged me. Even though they had no stewardship over me, and they personally don't understand my story, they allowed me to share with them without their judgement. I look at them as an example of faithful members of the church who inspire me to do better, much love to them both. "Love is the security for which children weep, the yearning of youth, the adhesive that binds marriage, and the lubricant that prevents devastating friction in the home; it is the peace of old age, the sunlight of hope shining through death...Love, like faith, is a gift of God. It is also the most enduring and most powerful virtue." Gordon B. Hinckley Thank you Bob for sharing your journey. It brings honor to your good husband Jay and helps us better understand a loving Heavenly Father.

In a few different places in his account, Luke refers to "certain women." These women were mentioned specifically, and often mentioned in connection with the Savior and the Twelve. In today's episode we'll discuss the qualities that these sisters possessed, and what we can learn from them to apply in our own lives. We'll also get some insights from Linda K. Burton and Gordon B. Hinckley. Questions: 1. In what ways did these "certain women" minister unto the Savior? 2. What characteristics do you think they possessed that made them so dear to the Savior and led to them being mentioned specifically in Luke's account?

TNB Commentaries 032: Flash Gordon (B-Movie March!) by Nerd Blitz

In my return from hiatus and on my 3 year anniversary of starting EXMO LIVE, I celebrate a special Thanksgiving show by discussing how grateful I am to be out of the cult and to have extricated my family from the cult. My kids will thankfully NEVER have to suffer like I did or be subjected to the horrific, perverted, sexual interviews from perverted, sicko Bishops, who should be on the sex offender registry, after getting arrested, charged & convicted. Everything they do is directed by the Prophet & the big 15 who are proud of & strongly encourage this behavior, as I have proven. The Bishops & Stake Presidents still have the choice to do it or not & proudly choose to do it & are NOT innocent victims that we should feel sorry for, as many naively or stupidly claim. It's vile and disgusting! I also discuss what a nutjob their current "PROPHET" Russell M. Nelson is and how he is literally destroying & gutting the church. He has picked up where Gordon B. Hinckley left off, removing anything left that was enjoyable by the members. It's only about him & keeping the things HE enjoys personally. If it makes HIS life more enjoyable, then spending the "widow's mite" on it is worthwhile. He is arrogant, condescending, probably senile & doesn't care who he hurts in his rule of terror, that will only get worse. He is also a gay/LGBTQIA hater and very proud of it, as he confirmed on January 10, 2016, in Laie, Hawaii. Anyone that knows all of this & then supports Nelson & his cult, supports hate, plain & simple! It is my honor to expose their hate, lies & fraud! Stay tuned!

On this edition of Mormon Stories Podcast, we are honored to interview award-winning documentary filmmaker Helen Whitney about her life as a documentary filmmaker, her work on the 2007 PBS documentary "The Mormons," and her new film about mortality entitled "Into the Night." In Part 1, we discover that throughout her career, she has maintained a deep interest in spiritual journeys, which she first explored with her documentary The Monastery, a 90-minute ABC special, about the oldest Trappist community in the Americas. Helen followed this film with a three-hour Frontline documentary for PBS, John Paul II: The Millennial Pope, and in 2007 she produced The Mormons, a four-hour PBS series that explored the richness, complexities and controversies surrounding the Mormon faith. Following the Sept. 11 attacks, she produced Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero, a two-hour documentary that examined how religious belief – and unbelief – of Americans was challenged and altered by the spiritual aftershocks of 9/11. In Part 2, Helen shares intimate details about the making of the highly-impactful documentary "The Mormons." She also provides her non-Mormon perspective of the faith and many anecdotal interactions with LDS General Authorities including Boyd K. Packer, Jeffrey R. Holland, and Gordon B. Hinckley that our listeners will find very intriguing. In Part 3 we learn about her new project, Into the Night: Portraits of Life and Death, a two-hour feature documentary, featuring fascinating, unexpected voices from various walks of life: old and young, believers and nonbelievers, the dying and the healthy, well known and obscure. However varied their backgrounds, all are unified by their uncommon eloquence and intelligence, and most important by their dramatic experience of death. Into the Nightis a two-part documentary, with Part 1 available now for streaming on Hulu and for rent on Youtube.

In 1848, five years before Japan opened its closed society to the West, a lone American in a whaleboat landed on the country's northern shore, drawn only by a sense of mystery and a love of adventure. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow Ranald MacDonald as he travels the length of Japan toward a destiny that will transform the country. We'll also remember a Soviet hero and puzzle over some security-conscious neighbors. Intro: In 1794, two French Hussars began an episodic duel that would last until 1813. In 1945, the Arkansas legislature accidentally repealed every law in the state. Sources for our feature on Ranald MacDonald: Frederik L. Schodt, Native American in the Land of the Shogun, 2003.

The week, Chris and Jeremy set sail for the high seas and board the Black Pearl in search of women, revenge, and treasure. They are joined this week by Captain Jack Sparr- wait, that's not right. Let me try this again: this week your boys are back and are ready to tackle three very odd Supernatural episodes. First up: GHOST SHI-uh, I mean "Red Sky at Morning," which is about GHOST SHIPS and Sam getting hit on by CLASSY LADIES and Dean getting hit on by Bella. Next we jump into "Fresh Blood" and we catch up with friend of the show, Gordon B. Lurkin, who is somehow out of prison and on the hunt for Sam and Dean. Also: a lil bit o' the good ol' ultra violence, mate. Finally, we wrap up this week's episode with "A Very Supernatural Christmas," which does something truly gross with Sam's fingernails. I wish I was kidding. Go to Monster of the Week (http://www.monsteroftheweek.cool) to find previous episodes and links to our social medias. DO IT NOW!

The boys are back, but unfortunately we're missing one boy. Stephen is taking a break from the show a bit, so it's up to Chris and Jeremy to hold it down and cover our next three episodes. Good thing they're all three great episodes to talk about. First up: "Croatoan", in which Sam and Dean discover that demons have taken over a whole town and somehow made everyone's blood smell like sulphur. Then we move onto "Hunted", and see the return of everyone favorite horrible person, Gordon B. Lurkin. Finally, we briefly get into "Playthings", but it doesn't have much really necessary plot to talk about outside of a super drunk Sam. Nice!

This year marks the thirty-third anniversary of the 1978 revelation extending the priesthood to "all worthy males" in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since that day, little has been said by Church leaders on any topic related to the ban, including the reasons for the ban, the doctrinal justifications for the ban, and the process by which the ban came into existence in the first place. Even without such clarifications, the Church has nevertheless successfully grown in Africa and in U.S. inner cities with large African-American. Mormon Matters is very pleased this week to for the chance to mark this anniversary by hosting a dynamic discussion of this ban and the revelation that ended it between four black Latter-day Saints. Guest host, Dustin Jones (who will be familiar to many listeners who have heard his Mormon Stories podcast telling of his own experiences growing up black in the Church) recently convened a panel consisting of himself and three fellow seasoned and opinionated black Mormons--Keith N. Hamilton, Darron Smith, and Marguerite Driessen--who, like him, have spent the last three decades learning about and attempting to understand the LDS Church’s "negro doctrine." Collectively the group is made up of three outspoken lawyers, one unabashed sociology Ph.D., three high priests, two former bishopric counselors, three former stake high councilors, two current BYU adjunct law professors, one former BYU professor, and a Relief Society president. We at Mormon Matters are honored by this opportunity to "listen in" on their spirited (both in its "faith" connotation as well as hinting at their lively differences of opinion!) discussion of their individual interpretations of Official Declaration 2; statements made by Brigham Young and Bruce R. McConkie, Gordon B. Hinckley’s 2006 statement on “racial slurs,” the process by which the Brethren received the revelation and what they see as the best way to move beyond the Church’s history. For each panelist, dealing with this history is ultimately a matter of faith, however, as this discussion shows very well, the swing of the pendulum between faith and fact is an interesting dynamic that all black Mormon must balance for themselves.
