They will learn I can shine the Savior's light. I can invite Jesus Christ into my life. And Jesus Christ is the only one worthy to be my Savior. They will even learn about some fantastic beasts! This podcast is Come Follow Me Kids. We are an LDS primary podcast. Welcome to the Come Follow Me Podcast for Kids! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we create this podcast for primary aged children (2-12) following along with the church's Come Follow Me Manual.

From Come Follow Me:Have you ever struggled to express to others what you felt during a powerful spiritual experience? Everyday language can feel inadequate to describe spiritual feelings and impressions. Perhaps this is why John used such rich symbolism and imagery to describe his majestic revelation. He could have simply stated that he saw Jesus Christ, but to help us understand his experience, he described the Savior using words like these: “His eyes were as a flame of fire,” “out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword,” and “his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength” (Revelation 1:14–16). As you read the book of Revelation, try to discover the messages John wanted you to learn and feel, even if you don't understand the meaning behind every symbol. Why might he have compared Church congregations to candlesticks, Satan to a dragon, and Jesus Christ to a lamb? Ultimately, you don't have to understand every symbol in Revelation to understand its important themes, including its most prominent theme: Jesus Christ and His followers will triumph over the kingdoms of men and of Satan.*********************The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

I have a friend who has 7 kids, all born in September. That means that they were all conceived around Christmas. We've often joked about this with her, but it turns out that they aren't the only ones who get especially horny during the holiday season. In fact, more babies are conceived in December than any other month! Why is this? That's what we're talking about in the episode. There are some biological factors, some psychological factors, as well as some social and environmental factors that are playing a role in this, but whatever the reason, it's a great time of year to connect sexually with your spouse!

**Content Warning: rape and self harm** It's well known that pre-marital s*x among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a huge sin. This is the shocking story of what happened to a member of 18 years old, who's "virtue" was stolen from her. Not only did she have to recount every detail of her traumatic experience alone to multiple men, she was eventually disfellowshipped for her "sins". Years later, after trying again as a faithful, devout, Mormon mom, Kris realized she just couldn't do it anymore.

These are your Morning Headlines... Lawmakers in congress are facing mounting pressure from corporate lobbyists to pass business tax breaks before the end of the year, but new analysis suggests those cuts would be far more costly than promised. Also, the 2023 Light the World campaign by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints launched Monday in New York City. Lastly, the Salvation Army in Pocatello is ringing their bells this season in hopes of raising 125 thousand dollars.

"A corollary to the pernicious falsehood that God is dead is the equally pernicious doctrine that there is no devil. Satan himself is the father of both of these lies. To believe them is to surrender to him. Such surrender has always led, is leading now, and will continue to lead men to destruction. Latter-day Saints know that there is a God. With like certainty, they know that Satan lives, that he is a powerful personage of spirit, the archenemy of God, of man, and of righteousness."

Is it possible to discover & even feel joy during times of distress, suffering, or pain? Yes. Peter demonstrates how, even as we face "fiery trials" or "trials of our faith," we can also rejoice, experience the love of God, and even develop our Divine Nature to become more like Jesus Christ.

Pastor Jeff Durbin encourages the church to love and evangelize Latter Day Saints.

From Come Follow Me:When John and Jude wrote their epistles, corrupt doctrine had already started leading many Saints into apostasy. Some false teachers were even questioning whether Jesus Christ had actually appeared “in the flesh” (see, for example, 1 John 4:1–3; 2 John 1:7). What could a Church leader do in such a situation? The Apostle John responded by sharing his personal witness of the Savior: “This is the testimony which we give of that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life” (Joseph Smith Translation, 1 John 1:1 [in 1 John 1:1, footnote a]). And then John taught about love: God's love for us and the love we should have for Him and all His children. After all, John was a witness of that, too. He had personally experienced the Savior's love (see John 13:23; 20:2), and he wanted the Saints to feel that same love. John's testimony and teachings on love are just as needed today, when faith in Jesus Christ is questioned and false teachings abound. Reading John's epistles can help us face today's adversities with courage, for “there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18).**********************The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

I'm speaking with therapist Jeff Lundgren, again, today about internal family systems. It's a therapeutic modality that he uses in his practice that I find fascinating.

I invite you to join us for this fascinating look into our minds.

November 11th, 1998, four missionaries and one senior missionary serving for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began a long trip to Las Vegas, NV from Elko, NV in a transfer van pulling a large luggage trailer.  They anticipated a long but easy drive down to Las Vegas.  During the night, snow had unexpectedly blanketed the ground.  Nothing out of the ordinary for Northern Nevada this time of year.  What they didn't realize is that it would have an impact on all of them and create a story to remember and tell for generations to come.  What is referred to as Missionary Miracle, a wreck that should have killed everyone involved, allowed for everyone come out alive and all walked away with the exception of Andrew Blamires.  Andrew suffered the most traumatic of the injuries with compound fractures on both femurs.  Andrew exercised faith and courage to go through surgery and therapy and eventually make it back to finish his missionary service.  Jared Murray, Jason Barnum, and Jackson Howell share their personal experiences from the wreck while sharing excerpts from a personal account shared by President Richard B. Whitaker of what he experienced while sitting in the missionary transfer conference the day before the wreck.  *********************The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

ABOUT JULIE DE AZEVEDO HANKSWEBSITE:  https://www.drjuliehanks.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/drjuliehanks Dr. Julie Hanks, PhD, LCSW. is a licensed therapist, coach, author, relationship expert, media contributor, blogger, speaker, and performing songwriter with 28 years experience counseling women, couples and families. In addition to owning  Wasatch Family Therapy, LLC and serving as executive director, Dr. Hanks is an emotional health and relationship expert and top online mental health influencer with an extensive and engaged social media following. As sought after media personality Dr. Hanks' advice has been interviewed for The Wall Street Journal, Cosmopolitan, Women's Day, Parenting, Reader's Digest, Redbook, and numerous other publications, and has appeared on-camera on Fox News, Fox Business News, KSL TV's Studio 5, Discovery Health, TLC, and Reelz Channel. After speaking to large women's groups of Latter-day Saint women on preventing emotional burnout for a decade and working with hundreds of women in her clinical practice who were overwhelmed and felt “never good enough”, Dr. Hanks felt compelled to write her first book The Burnout Cure: An Emotional Survival Guide for Overwhelmed Women. Her latest book The Assertiveness Guide for Women: How to Communicate Your Needs, Set Healthy Boundaries, and Transform Your Relationships draws from her years of clinical practice helping women to find their authentic voice in their lives, their relationships, and in the world. Grounded in attachment theory, this self-help book takes a comprehensive view of assertiveness and is filled with exercises and practical advice. As an award-winning performing songwriter, “Julie de Azevedo” has written dozens of songs, contributed to numerous projects, and produced 10 solo CD's over the past 30 years. Her most recent CD “The Gravity of Love” is a digital EP of 6 new songs about relationships. Dr. Hanks' most valuable experience has been “in the trenches” of family life as a wife to Jeff Hanks and mother of 4 children, 1 daughter-in-law, and 2 grandchildren. MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Paul begins by engaging in a conversation with Dr. Julie De Azevedo Hanks, who balanced her career as a recording artist with her pursuit of a Ph.D. in therapy. She specializes in working with clients who are Latter-day Saints or have connections to the LDS culture, assisting them in addressing social issues and ensuring their beliefs are applied in a healthy manner to avoid any harm caused by theology.Dr. Hanks responds to Paul's inquiry about why people from other faiths often perceive Mormons as exceptionally kind individuals with strong family values. They delve into the social dynamics within the predominantly homogeneous culture, particularly in Utah, where a substantial LDS population exists. Paul briefly touches upon the history of Mormons facing persecution, such as the extermination order issued by Missouri against the religious sect. He inquires about the possibility of a generational persecution complex. Dr. Hanks doesn't attribute it to a fear of persecution, but rather to a sense of familiarity. She notes that Latter-day Saints have demanding responsibilities and suggests that Mormons should openly communicate their values to friends and neighbors to establish mutual understanding of their boundaries and commitments.Paul highlights the unique aspect of the LDS Church, where individuals are actively assigned roles, integrated into small groups, and are actively involved in the community, unlike in most other churches where members need to initiate their participation. He emphasizes the absence of monetary compensation within the LDS Church and how this communal involvement provides a strong support system for every family. Dr. Hanks commends this support system and the sense of safety it fosters, with mentors guiding the youth in their service and teaching roles.The conversation shifts to the historical practice of polygamy within the Mormon community and its association with women's disenfranchisement and objectification during that era. They discuss the belief in eternal marriage, emphasizing that it lasts forever.Dr. Hanks and Paul delve into the declining church activity, which saw families conducting religious services at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also discuss the impact of scientific discoveries addressing questions that were traditionally considered mysteries of God in religious contexts. The internet is mentioned as a tool enabling individuals to research the controversial aspects of the Mormon faith's history. Paul queries Dr. Hanks about the possibility of people finding truth and happiness outside of the Mormon culture. She admits to being molded within the LDS faith but believes that truth can be found everywhere. Paul then questions whether Mormons are considered Christians, to which Dr. Hanks recalls being told she wasn't a Christian while attending a private evangelical school as a child. Lastly, Paul inquires about Dr. Hanks' perspective on the salvation of individuals who leave the Mormon faith or have family members who do so. She expresses her belief in the vastness of God's mercy and encourages avoiding placing limits on salvation for those whose experiences are different. ABOUT OUR HOST:ABOUT PAUL CARDALLWebsite - http://www.paulcardall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulcardallFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/PaulCardallMusic/X - https://twitter.com/paulcardallTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@pianistpaulcardall LISTEN TO HIS MUSICSpotify - https://shorturl.at/PQUW3Apple Music - https://shorturl.at/jkqsLAmazon - https://shorturl.at/nxGHU

Looking for an LDS primary prodcast? Well look no further. Welcome to the Come Follow Me Podcast for Kids! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we create this podcast for primary aged children (2-12) following along with the church's Come Follow Me Manual. This is a New Testament Bible Study podcast for children. If your children would like to be guests on our podcast email us at comefollowmekidspodcast@gmail.com and we will send you an assignment for a future week. This week we are studying 1st and 2nd Peter. Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory” The books 1st and 2nd Peter are letters from Peter to members of the Church in his day. But we can learn a lot from Peter! The children will learn “If you turn to the Savior when you face adversity, the problems you face will be a lot easier to bear.” “I can be happy even during hard times.” They will also learn “Heavenly Father wants me to be an example to others”. Peter taught that we are “the people of God” and that our good works can “glorify God.”

From Come Follow Me:Shortly after His Resurrection, the Savior made a prophecy that must have been troubling to Peter. He foretold that Peter would be martyred for his faith, being carried “whither [he] wouldest not … , signifying by what death he should glorify God” (John 21:18–19). Years later, when Peter wrote his epistles, he knew that his prophesied martyrdom was near: “Shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me” (2 Peter 1:14). And yet Peter's words were not filled with fear or pessimism. Instead, he taught the Saints to “greatly rejoice,” even though they were “in heaviness through manifold temptations.” He counseled them to remember that “the trial of [their] faith” would lead to “praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ” and to “the salvation of [their] souls” (1 Peter 1:6–7, 9). Peter's faith must have been comforting to those early Saints, as it is encouraging to Saints today, who are also “partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, [we] may be glad also with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:13).The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

At times in my coaching career, I've been asked by clients about the use of psychedelics in sex therapy. I know that this may be a controversial topic, but I think it's important to be given all of the information so you can make the decision for yourself. I am excited to have Jeff Lundgren on the podcast today to talk about it. This interview is fascinating! We talk about the history of psychedelics and their use in therapy. And Jeff shares some success stories he has witnessed in clients who used psychedelics to heal sexual dysfunction. Even if you've never been curious, I would still encourage you to listen to this episode to learn more about how to heal dysfunction in your life. Jeff Lundgren is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and holds a certificate as a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist Provider. Jeff is a member of the Mormon Mental Health Association and the owner of a private group practice in Millcreek - Oak Branch Counseling. Jeff lives in Salt Lake City.

Episode 258: Understanding Your Emotions for Emotional Resilience: Mastering Anger - Part 5Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast. This is the last of the 5-Part Series on Creating Emotional Resilience.This series was created from a class I took, you've heard about it in all the other episodes - in it we practiced different skills like healthy thinking patterns, managing stress, overcoming anger….all the good stuff. Take from it what resonates with you, that you may navigate your life with a bit more resilience. One step at a time. These are muscles we are trying to develop. Emotional resilience muscles.Today's episode is about one of our strongest emotions. Anger.It's a real emotion that we don't want to deny, but that we need to learn to navigate and choose thoughts and actions that create more peace in us rather than feed the anger beast. Stay tuned.As I am writing this episode we just completed the April 2023 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. As I sat and listened to the prophets and leaders I was surprised at how many talks were about not being contentious. Even the prophet himself focused his primary message on the topic of being peacemakers. In 3 Nephi 11:29-30 the Savior taught the Nephites: “There shall be no disputations among you…for verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another behold this is NOT my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.”Anger is something we all feel. It's an emotion that rears it's head when underneath we really feel resentful, disappointed, ashamed, hopeless, guilty, our expectations are unmet, we are embarrassed, frustrated, anxious, threatened, rejected, hurt, offended, heartbroken…there are a lot of underlying emotions and situations that trigger anger. Emotional resilience means that we are able to more effectively understand our emotions and manage them. This is a life-time of work, but a very important part of our work. This is part of living with awareness and moving toward higher ways of being.Let's consider a couple ideas.1. Anger comes from lots of various emotions, as I've just mentioned. Understanding that can help us get to the bottom of an angry situation so we can deescalate it and understand ourselves better. What I mean by this is that when you feel yourself getting angry, stop and consider what's causing the anger. Are your feelings hurt? Are you disappointed? Are you embarrassed? Once we understand what has us so upset we can navigate the situation better - sometimes even just understanding that can help you better communicate with the person you are angry with. For instance, let's say you've asked your husband to do something numerous times and he doesn't get around to doing it. You can spiral in the “Why doesn't he listen to me? Why can't he help? Why can't he see the wisdom in doing it this way?” etc. etc. or you can identify that perhaps you're feeling disrespected, resentful, unappreciated, hurt. With this knowledge you can then open a conversation, “When I ask you to help rake the leaves up over and over and it doesn't get done, I feel unheard, disrespected, hurt.” This approach shares a vulnerable insight into your feelings that focuses on you and doesn't focus on making accusations toward him At the very least this opens space for communication. People talking things out and striving to understand another's position on something is a tool to choosing peace and peacemaking over anger and...

President M. Russell Ballard the Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints... passed away last night. He was known as a welcoming figure for people of all faiths.

KSL's Top Story: Utah's state and federal leaders are reacting to President M. Russell Ballard's death.

How do you think about faith and hope when your prayers aren't answered? What about when they are?  Steph and her husband, Rivs, have the kind of story you might see in a blockbuster movie. Rivs was a professional endurance athlete who was suddenly put on life support with a mysterious lung disease. But then a confluence of shocking events occurred to get him the care he needed to survive. Steph grew up as part of the Church of Latter Day Saints, a faith that believed that if she prayed hard enough, miracles would happen. But then her dad died when she was 14. So how does she understand faith and hope and miracles after Rivs' survival?  In this conversation, Kate and Steph discuss:     How do you talk to kids honestly about life and death and hope?     How pain is a conduit for empathy      How to allow things to just suck and not feel pressure to find any brightsides     How to think about faith, hope, and miracles without idolizing certainty  Steph is someone who knows intimately that life sometimes just happens and that we have to learn to live alongside all of that pain and that joy and that love that somehow coexists.

You may not want to listen to this episode.  I tell a story that even my own mother doesn't know.  It's a near death experience I had in Zimbabwe when I was serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I relate this story to making decisions in our lives, not being scared to take action, and allowing our first attempts to not be perfect.   It's time to not listen to the negative people around us and just take action.  They aren't the ones who we're doing it for anyways.  We all have that higher reason WHY we are doing what we do.   - Spencer Ward     If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!

Today's conversation took place in two parts in two different locations on Saturday morning. In the first segment, we spent some time with Melinda Topham from JustServe.org and a few of the youth volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who came to Winchester CCAP to help pack Thanksgiving boxes, sort diapers and be personal shoppers during CCAP's Saturday free food giveaway. In the second segment, Shannon Ganoe & Melinda Topham from JustServe.org were joined by Melinda's 17-year-old son Zachary, her daughter Heather, and Heather's friend, Nicole.  We talked about the ease of using the JustServe app to find volunteer opportunities, the group gave examples of organizations that are looking for volunteers, and the "kids" told us about their experiences doing service projects. Melinda also gave details for the Light the World Community Christmas Celebration featuring live music, art, giving, and nativities from around the world. The event will take place on Friday, December 1, 2023 from 6pm - 8:30pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (399 Apple Pie Ridge Road.) The celebration is open to the public and free to attend. Melinda told us about the "giving poster" that will be highlighted at the event. You can view that by clicking here.

These are your Morning Headlines... President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, passed away at the age of 95. Also, Pocatello and Chubbuck School Board Trustees are considering their options after their 45-million dollar bond proposal was shut down last Tuesday. Lastly, The Church is once again sponsoring Light the World Giving Vending Machines.

My friend Seth Larson (BYU grad, Bolivia RM, active Latter-day Saint) joins us to bravely share his story. Seth talks about trying to date women in hopes of making the typical path work in the Church and his desire to have a family and fully participate in the Church. Seth talks about feeling suicidal and “sub-par” because of being gay and not being able to make that path work—and shares honest journal entrees with his feelings. Seth talks about being open with his parents and therapist leading to his decision to date men. Seth talks about going slow, being intentional, and involving family/friends/his Bishop in the journey. Seth talks about feeling (for the first time) warm, safe, and secure. Seth talks about how his hope increased and anxiety decreased as he opened his heart/mind to this path. Seth talks about how church and the temple became triggering for him and what his Bishop did to validate these feelings and minister to him. Seth talks about why he is currently in the Church—but not sure of his long-term future. Seth talks about the character of God and Jesus—and how Christ is not “waiting for us to turn around” before helping us. Thank you, Seth, for your courage to share your story in hopes of helping others. I learned so much from you. I encourage allies to listen to this podcast and then consider what we can do in our circle of influence to better support queer Latter-day Saints. And I encourage queer Latter-day Saints to listen to Seth's story to gain insights and principles to write your story with Christ. You are a good man, Seth. You have blessed many lives with your many gifts—something I believe will continue your entire life. This world is a better place with you (and all my queer friends) part of it.

“Be Ye Doers of the Word, and Not Hearers Only” This week we are reading the book of James in the New Testament. Welcome to the Come Follow Me Podcast for Kids! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we create this podcast for primary aged children (2-12) following along with the church's Come Follow Me Manual. This is a New Testament Bible Study podcast for children. If your children would like to be guests on our podcast email us at comefollowmekidspodcast@gmail.com and we will send you an assignment for a future week. The children will learn: Heavenly Father will help me learn truth if I seek His help. Primary children are only a few years younger than Joseph Smith was when he read James 1:5 and was inspired to approach Heavenly Father in prayer. In this episode we will build their faith that God will help them when they lack wisdom. We will also do a refresher for children about Joseph Smiths first vision. Then they will learn that “Faith without works is dead.” They will see the connection between what they believe and what they do. They will learn to be doers of the word and not hearers only. And finally they will learn I can choose to speak with kindness. The words we say to each other may seem unimportant, but as James testified, they can have a powerful influence, for good or bad. Thanks for listening to our primary podcast!

From Come Follow Me:Sometimes just one verse of scripture can change the world. James 1:5 seems like a simple bit of counsel—if you need wisdom, ask God. But when 14-year-old Joseph Smith read that verse, “it seemed to enter with great force into every feeling of [his] heart” (Joseph Smith—History 1:12). Thus inspired, Joseph acted on James's admonition and sought wisdom from God through prayer. And God did indeed give liberally, giving Joseph one of the most remarkable heavenly visitations in human history—the First Vision. This vision changed the course of Joseph's life and led to the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth. All of us are blessed today because Joseph Smith read and acted on James 1:5.What will you find as you study the Epistle of James? Perhaps a verse or two will change you or someone you love. You may find guidance as you seek to fulfill your mission in life. You may find encouragement to speak kindly or to be more patient. You may feel prompted to make your actions align better with your faith. Whatever inspires you, let these words “enter … into every feeling of [your] heart.” And then, when you “receive with meekness the … word,” as James wrote, be a doer of the word, not a hearer only (see James 1:21–22).The thoughts, ideas, and beliefs we express on this channel do not officially represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  For additional information or official statements, please visit the website below.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng#biblestudy #oldtestament #religion #churchofjesuschrist #ldspodcast #christianpodcast #missionary #lds #biblestories #christ #faith #faithinchrist #scriptures #bookofmormon #doctrineandcovenants #pearlofgreatprice #temples #houseofthelord #mormon #mormonbeliefs #chritiansandmormons #god #endure #ironrod #faithineveryfootstep #generalconference #prophets #followtheprophet #commandments #love #service #charity #keepstriving #keeponstriving #gospelgrowthandgoodtimes #become #newtestamentSupport the show

ABOUT KENNETH COPEKenneth Cope is an American composer and performer of religious music geared towards Latter-day Saints. Hisy first solo album, Heaven—Don't Miss It For The World (released in 1988), was created out of this desire to make music to help strengthen the youth of the Church. I also continued to work on EFY recordings. Then came Greater Than Us All (1989), with the songs “His Hands” and “Never a Better Hero.” In 1991, I released another contemporary album titled Voices, with the song “Face to Face.” Then came the theme-based projects: My Servant Joseph (1993) and Women at the Well (1995). These were followed by Stories from Eden's Garden (1998), A Prayer unto Thee (1999), Joseph Smith—the Seer (2000), and Hear My Praise (2002). In 2005, the record company released Face to Face—Kenneth Cope Collection. My most recent full album was born in 2008, titled All About You. And in 2012, I most recently created three new contemporary inspirational songs for the youth of the Church to go along with the year's youth theme…the EP is called Rise and Shine.Cope lived in Houston, Texas, during his high school years and attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Switzerland and France from 1980 to 1982. He currently resides in Salt Lake City, Utah and has served as a bishop.He has been closely associated with the music of Especially for Youth (EFY), with seven EFY albums having songs he composed.Kenneth and his wife have three children KENNETH COPE SOCIALSKenneth's Website - http://kennethcope.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kenneth.m.cope/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kenneth.cope SON OF MAN MUSICIAL SOCIALSSon of Man Musical - https://sonofmanmusical.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sonofmanmusicalKickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1606969623/son-of-man-the-musical-two-album-cast-recording ABOUT PAUL CARDALLWebsite - www.paulcardall.com/podcastFacebook - @paulcardallmusicIG - @paulcardallTwitter - @paulcardallYoutube - @cardall Paul Cardall, a Dove Award-winning musician, composer, and producer, has earned acclaim from Forbes, which notes that his music creates an atmosphere for relaxation, reflection, and meditation.

If you ask a muslim, “Who is Jesus?” he will say, “Jesus, peace be upon him, is a prophet of Allah.” And while Christians will agree, He is a prophet of God, He is not merely a prophet of God. And of course when they use the term Allah (God) they mean a very different thing than we do. If you ask a Latter-Day Saint, “Who is Jesus?” they will say, “He is God the Father's firstborn spirit-child in heaven and the spirit brother of lucifer. He was begotten on earth by God the Father by natural means, not by the Holy Ghost and is now one amongst many millions of other gods.” If you ask a Jehovah's witness, they will say, “Jesus is not God almighty, he is God's son. Jesus is God's first creation, inferior to God the Father. And Jesus is actually Michael the archangel.” Like any lie, satan prefers to sprinkle truth in amongst falsehood so as to feign authenticity. Jesus is the son of God. Jesus is a prophet of God, but He is not created. His origin is one of eternity, begotten of the Father. He is the firstborn of all creation, but this is a title of preeminence, not descriptive of a point of time where he came into being. Like the person of the Father, the son has eternally existed. And so when Christians are asked who is Jesus, we recite the Athanasian creed.

Ben grew up in the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) living with 2 moms and 28 siblings. He started working on a construction site around 8 years old and had his own crew by 16, despite only having a 3rd grade education from the private FLDS school. After realizing the outside world ISN'T all evil, he escaped the cult around age 18 and became the go-to person (along side his now-wife Wendy) for other “Lost Boys” to seek out for help.

Most of us will say that our marriage is our most important relationship.  Yet we often let things get in the way of making it great and our marriage gets put on the back burner.  Whether that is kids, work, hobbies, or church callings, we don't put enough into our relationship.  And that relationship is barely surviving instead of thriving.  And when our relationship suffers, often so does our sexual relationship. So in this episode, let's talk about 11 ways to make a marriage thrive. We'll discuss how these strategies can help both your marriage relationship and your sexual relationship because we often talk of sex as a need, but it's not a need like air, food or water is a need. But it is a need for the thriving marriage that we want.

The time has come, where we get to hear from yet another, member of the "House of Hoopers" also known as the Whitings.  As you may recall, I've had the blessing and honor of speaking with Trent and Amari on episode 238 of the show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-238-amari-and-trent-whiting-house-of-hoopers/id1195653965?i=1000553709136  And then not too long later, I spoke with Amber Whiting, on episode 254: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interview-with-amber-whiting-head-coach-byu-womens/id1195653965?i=1000568434066  Now is our chance to hear from Jace, who is currently playing basketball at Boise State University and is in his Sophomore year.  This interview is jam packed with insight that will be FANTASTIC for younger athletes!  Jace talks about his days growing up overseas while his dad was playing professionally, and what he took from being around his dad (Trent) all those years. Learning to respect and appreciate 'the grind' of the game. We also discuss the AAU experience for Jace and one of the turning moments for him as a basketball player that occurred.  Another very important topic of conversation, is Jace's mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served a two year mission preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, and returned home and went to play college basketball. We'll discuss his mission and how it helped him in his journey. We'll talk about getting back into basketball shape upon returning home, and chat about how that transition went getting back into the regular world.   And of course we'll discuss his time at Boise State thus far and what it has been like. What some of his favorite moments have been. Who his favorite teammates and competitors have been. And much more... Oh and we'll get his insight on 'who the best Whiting hooper really is in that house haha"  This is such a great interview and I'm super grateful for Jace's willingness to join me amidst his busy schedule.

Welcome to Come Follow Me Kids! We are a New Testament Podcast for children. We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we create this podcast for primary aged children (2-12) following along with the church's Come Follow Me Manual. This is a New Testament Bible Study podcast for children. If your children would like to be guests on our podcast email us at comefollowmekidspodcast@gmail.com and we will send you an assignment for a future week. This week we are studying Hebrews 7–13 “An High Priest of Good Things to Come” Hebrews 7:1–6 can provide an opportunity to introduce to the children the blessings of the priesthood. We will also learn cannot see. Even though we can't see Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, we can develop faith in Them and Their promises, following the examples of faithful people described in Hebrews 11. And finally we will touch on the fact that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will help us and never leave us.

I think we all want to have an intimate marriage, but we often miss one important step in achieving that. To have an intimate marriage, we must understand and make room for both partners' wants and desires, without judgment or shame. But what I often see happening is that one partner thinks their wants and desires matter more than the other partner and they expect their partner to accommodate them. Or, I also see that one partner suppresses their wants and desires or preferences to accommodate their partners. This can create resentment, anxiety, and guilt. So, why do we do this and what can we do about it? That's what we're talking about in this episode.

My friend Marcus Bowers (BYU grad, two master's degrees, never married/straight, early release missionary, once suicidal, Iraq veteran) joins us to bravely share his story. Marcus starts with coming home from his mission after two weeks (because of his emotional health) and feeling his path was not to return to full time missionary service and how we can better support early release missionaries. Marcus then talks about getting on with his life (education, military, and his profession) and his journey with mental health issues which culminated in suicidal ideation leading to a stay in a psychiatric ward. Marcus talks about the importance of normalizing mental health struggles, so people feel safe opening up and getting help. Marcus shares what he'd say to his younger self and others feeling suicidal. Marcus then talks about why he stays in the church and resources he used to navigate his own faith crises. Marcus talks about his service in his mid-singles ward and how we can “break the mold” to help all of God's children feel welcome, needed, valued, and included. Marcus talks how he feels whole, not broken, while still being a work in progress — and not waiting to be married. Thank you, Marcus, for being on the podcast. You are so brave. You are a remarkable man doing much good in our church community and society. Your story helps others. Thank you for your courage to be on the podcast.

McKay Coppins began covering Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential race and because the two shared a common faith as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, other reporters often looked to McKay, a very young journalist at the time, as a source on Romney's religion. Over a decade later, Coppins' new biography profiles the Latter-day Saints' life and career in the public sphere. In anticipation of the book's release, we talk with Coppins on today's episode about the faith that is deeply embedded into both he and Romney's lives.  Show Notes  2:08- Varied Latter-day Saint Characters5:04- “I'm Actually a Member of This Church”7:27- Folding Into Faith11:27- The Latter-day Saint on the Campaign Trail16:22- Sharing Faith in a Secular Biography22:24- Refusal to Denounce Faith28:50- A Young Missionary in France35:24- More To Your Life Than Making Money40:38- The Worth of Integrity45:21- By Their Fruits49:10- Legacy53:03- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  “I realized in that moment that I could do both.
