What if the call you've been waiting for is already coming from God?In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis dive into the For the Strength of Youth lesson, “You Are Blessed by Priesthood Keys and Authority,” and explore what it really means to answer God's call.From accepting and investing in Church callings to recognizing the small “errands” God places in our lives, the conversation is a reminder that service isn't just about what we accomplish for others—it's also about who we become in the process.The crew shares personal stories about callings, serving in wards, experiences in Tonga, and finding closeness to God during busy seasons of life. Sometimes God's call can feel like one more thing on an already-full schedule, but stepping into His work may be exactly where we find Him.This week's challenge: If you have a calling, invest a little more into it. If you don't, look for an opportunity to serve. When God calls, answer.This Is Kingdom is a Good News Brand podcast.

Ready for a rant? Carl and Richard talk to Billy Hollis about the impact of artificial intelligence on software development. The conversation starts with a listener comment about going all-in on AI to speed up development radically, which raises the question of how much AI is the right amount. What's safe and what is reckless? And how will that position change over time? Are the problems we're having today just growing pains of the tools, or are they systemic to the technology? Lots to debate!

What does it really mean to become a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ?In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis share a big change coming to the podcast. Instead of following General Conference talks each week, the show will begin studying the For the Strength of Youth guide alongside the Church's youth schedule—not because these principles are only for teenagers, but because discipleship doesn't end when you graduate, come home from a mission, get married, or enter a new stage of life.Talon shares the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and a powerful response from the Lord: “Have not I sent thee?” When we see people struggling and wonder where God is, maybe part of the answer is that He has sent us to help.The group discusses why choosing Jesus is a lifelong decision, how our everyday choices shape who we become, and why the principles in For the Strength of Youth can help people of every age navigate an increasingly complicated life.Whether you're a youth, leader, returned missionary, young adult, parent, or simply someone trying to build a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ, this new chapter of This Is Kingdom is for you.This week's challenge: Send this episode to someone you want to study and grow with. Find people you can gather with, talk about Jesus with, and encourage as you work together to become lifelong disciples.

From chasing bumble bees in Alaska to understanding native bee populations nationwide, this scientist is on a mission to better understand these important insects. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Hollis Woodard. Hollis is a Professor of Entomology at the University of California, Riverside and PI — the Principal Investigator, i.e., the person leading the project — of the US National Native Bee Monitoring Research Coordination Network. She received a PhD in Biology in 2012 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she studied the molecular basis of social evolution in bees. She is broadly interested in native bee ecology, evolution, social behavior, and conservation, and has worked with laboratory-reared bees and the wild bees of Alaska, California, Maine, and Vermont — and is a collaborator with Xerces on the State of the Bees project.----Photo: (c) beaucheminalex (CC BY-NC)Thank you for listening!

Frankie works the overnight board at North County dispatch — the last desk on the last frequency in a building the county has already decided to close. Eleven years of talking strangers through the worst minute of their lives, and never once finding out how it ended. It is the coldest winter in thirty years, and the copper is already coming out of the ground. Then, at seven minutes past three, on a channel that was cut and half dismantled three weeks ago, the dead static goes warm. A calm, competent man's voice asks her to roll someone warm out to the Hollis ridge. The vehicle is there. The driver is there. He never is.

What if trusting life doesn't mean trusting that everything will become stable, coherent, or reassuring? In this episode, Vanessa explores change as both a spiritual and psychological problem: why we confuse trust with continuity, why change can feel like abandonment, and what it means to stay in relationship with reality as it keeps moving. Through Octavia Butler's “God is Change,” Heraclitus, Buddhist impermanence, process theology, attachment theory, meaning-making research, and Jungian transformation, we look at the grief and freedom of releasing the fantasy that life's job is to preserve the forms we love. Trust is not certainty that everything will work out; it is the willingness to remain present with what is real as it changes form.For educational purposes only.

In 2005, her life changed drastically when she was diagnosed with transverse myelitis (TM). Within four days, she went from golfing, playing tennis, and working vigorously as the Superintendent of a local high school district to being a paraplegic (T-3 complete).Six months after her diagnosis she was back at work, using a wheelchair fulltime. Eighteen months later she decided to retire to have enough energy to enjoy her family (four children and 13 grandchildren) and to rebuild an active lifestyle. She competed in wheelchair tennis and then pursued table tennis with her eyes on the Paralympics. Currently she is training to compete in the 2028 LA Paralympics in wheelchair table tennis, saying, “My quest is to be the oldest Paralympian in history. It's a long shot; but why not!”Cindy has written numerous articles regarding living with a disability for New Mobility Magazine and authored a memoir, Parakeet Races and Other Stories, which is available through Amazon: https://rebrand.ly/cindy-ranii 00:00 Welcome00:53 Cindy's Diagnosis Overview01:37 Early Symptoms and ER Rush06:07 Hospital Transfer and TM Diagnosis08:51 Rehab Reality and New Life11:27 Accessibility Costs and Support13:17 Paralympic Table Tennis Quest17:52 Disability Community and Pride20:25 Finding Resilience Through Sport22:34 Mentors and New Athletic Path28:27 Work Return Then Retirement31:58 Writing Her Memoir37:09 Closing Reflections

In this message, we continue the Summer of Prayer by looking at Jesus' words, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Through the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, we see that forgiveness is costly, repentance is essential, and receiving God's mercy should transform the way we extend mercy to others.   Forgiveness does not mean the wound never happened, trust must immediately be restored, or reconciliation is guaranteed. It means surrendering the debt to God and refusing to let offense or bitterness keep you in bondage. Learn how to forgive quickly, keep forgiving when the pain remains, ask the Holy Spirit for help, and allow the process of forgiveness to make you more like Jesus.

The Author Events Series presents Ben Crump | Worse Than A Lie First 100 people to arrive onsite receive a free copy of the book. It's the night of November 4, 2008. America's first Black president has just been elected. And fifty-three-year-old Hollis Montrose-a Black ex–police officer from the suburbs of Chicago-has become the latest victim of a brutal attack. As the result of a traffic stop gone wrong, Hollis is shot ten times in cold blood, by four white men who could have been his colleagues back in his police days. Beau Lee Cooper was born serious, as if on an urgent mission with little time to waste. Raised in the tumultuous world of 1970s Texas, he always dreamed of becoming a lawyer and fighting for what's right, ever since he was a little boy reading To Kill a Mockingbird. And now, ten years into running his own law firm with his best friend and partner in crime, Nelson ''Nellie'' Rivers, and his suave right-hand-man, Brent ''Cape'' Capers, he feels he's finally making a difference. When Beau Lee learns about Hollis's situation, he's determined to help. Miraculously, Hollis survives the encounter, but the Chicago police department has already spun the narrative in its favor, and Hollis is given a wrongful prison sentence with an unreasonable bail. What really happened that night the car was pulled over? Was it random or was Hollis targeted? Beau Lee knows he's treading in dangerous waters, and finding evidence of the truth will be his biggest challenge yet, but with troubling powers at play, one innocent man's life hangs in the balance. Named to the TIME100 list of the 100 most influential people in 2021 and The NNPA Top Black Newsmaker of the 21st Century in 2026, Attorney Ben Crump is known as "Black America's Attorney General" and has established himself as one of the nation's foremost lawyers and advocates for social justice. He has represented families in the most high-profile cases in the country, including Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tyre Nichols, and Henrietta Lacks in a landmark medical reparations case. Crump is co-founder of DreamFi, a financial empowerment platform, and author of Open Season: Legalized Genocide of Colored People and debut novel Worse Than a Lie. As founder of Ben Crump Law, he continues fighting for justice nationwide.

Three retired loggers, five encounters, and a run of deep timber none of them could ever explain. In this episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories I share firsthand Sasquatch accounts I gathered over the better part of two years from three men who spent their working lives cutting timber across the Pacific Northwest and the Mountain West in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.You'll meet them by first name only, the way they asked, as Earl, Roy, and Hollis, three plainspoken men with no books to sell and every reason to keep quiet, who finally set the weight of what they saw down in front of me.Earl was a young choker setter in the Oregon Coast Range in 1958 when something started emptying the crew's lunch buckets and turning up in head-high brush twenty feet away, and three years later, in 1961, he was pinned in a wall tent on a Cascade lake while a slow, heavy weight walked the gravel behind his head.Roy was a redwood faller in Northern California in 1963 when he looked up a hillside gallery of old-growth and watched a near eight-foot figure lay its hand flat against a trunk and knock twice, and heard two knocks answer from across the canyon. Hollis worked the Idaho panhandle and western Montana, where eyeshine paced his truck on a one-lane logging road in 1971, and a scream came down off the slope above a river camp in 1974 that emptied that camp by first light. I came up a skeptic, and I went looking for the place each story breaks. These three didn't break the way a made-up story breaks. What surfaces in all of it, from men who never met and never compared notes, are the same small, specific things: the dog that walks backward into the tent, the smell that arrives a beat ahead of the sight, the wood knocks answered across open ground, and a thing that watched men work and chose, over and over, to let them walk away. Listen for the details, and decide for yourself what these old men carried out of the woods.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis discuss Elder Gary E. Stevenson's talk Lost Luggage, Redeemed Souls, exploring what it means to be more accessible and present in our relationships. Inspired by the story of an airport that hasn't lost a single piece of luggage in decades, they reflect on the simple but powerful idea of keeping your "handles facing outward" so others can more easily reach, connect with, and rely on you.Through personal stories and practical examples, they discuss answering unexpected phone calls, warmly welcoming people into your life, and overcoming the fear of being the one who reaches out first. The conversation highlights how genuine connection often begins with a simple act of initiation and why choosing to care is far more meaningful than trying to appear indifferent.This week's challenge is to perform one intentional act of initiation every day. Whether it's making a call, sending a text, extending an invitation, or starting a conversation, small efforts to reach out can strengthen relationships and reflect the way we connect with both people and God.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis discuss Elder Jorge T. Becerra's talk Tithing: Putting God First. They explore the idea of being “double-minded” and how living with one foot in and one foot out can leave us stuck, confused, and searching for clarity.Through stories about relationships, faith journeys, and personal experiences, they talk about the power that comes from making a decision and fully committing. The conversation highlights how peace, purpose, and spiritual growth often come after choosing to go all in with God instead of staying on the fence.This week's challenge is simple: write “God, I'm all in today” on a sticky note each morning and place it somewhere you'll see throughout the day. Small daily choices can strengthen your relationship with God and help you live with greater intention and meaning.

Hollis is one of those wise women I stumbled upon while scrolling Threads, and wondered: what is she doing over there and how can I be in her world?! Between her astrological insights and her design eye (yes, she's the design wiz behind my recent social media/email design glow up), she's become one of my favorite people to think out loud with.In this episode, we use astrology as an actual roadmap to understand our inner worlds (and why it's not just some fun personality quiz). We get into: ✨ why your chart is a fingerprint but transits are what you DO with your hands✨ how to access any zodiac archetype even if you have no placements in certain houses✨ why your moon sign is the single best entry point to understanding your body, your creative cycles, and how long anything is going to take you (mind-blowing info, NGL).We also get into Hollis leaving Instagram (SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.), Uranus entering Gemini cosmic weather report, and why vibe coding feels like a very on-brand sign for this transit.Plus: secret societies, invisible communities, and why building something slowly might be the most radical thing you can do right now.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis discuss Elder Michael John U. Teh's talk Follow the Prophet; He Knows the Way. Using the analogy of athletes, from orange eaters to gamers to all-stars, they explore the difference between simply showing up and fully committing to living the gospel. They share practical ways to become "gospel all-stars," including daily repentance, acting quickly on spiritual promptings, and making time for God at both the beginning and end of each day. The conversation highlights that going all in with faith is not about appearances. It is about consistency, effort, and choosing discipleship every day. This week's challenge is to start each morning with a spiritual "hype-up" message before beginning your day. Small intentional choices can help you get off the bench, step into the game, and experience the joy that comes from giving your all.

In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis reflect on Elder David A. Bednar's talk All Who Have Endured Valiantly, sharing insights on fatherhood, discipleship, and the influence of living as an example for others. They explore how following Christ daily shapes not only our lives but also those who look up to us.The conversation reframes what it means to “endure to the end,” shifting it from something heavy or difficult into a life filled with the pure love of Christ. Instead of just getting through life, the hosts emphasize becoming “possessed” by Christlike love—where service, growth, and transformation happen naturally as we draw closer to Him.This week's challenge: reach out to one person each day and check in on them. Through simple, intentional acts of love, we can move from being passive to truly living as disciples—giving love freely and, in turn, receiving it more abundantly.
