In this episode, I talk to Alan Russel, an entrepreneur and the Stake President of the Ogden YSA 2nd Stake. Alan is a successful businessman, but it becomes clear that his family and the gospel are where he focuses his time. I met him when I spoke for a stake devotional, and the spirit strongly impressed me to have him as a guest on the podcast. The spirit did not disappoint. I am sure you will feel the same way as Alan talks of his family, the events in his life, the gospel, and studying the scriptures. Please leave a rating of this podcast and review.

Have you found Him? Consider someone who may not yet have heard this invitation, possibly a loved one who has grown tired in their seeking and does not feel they have found the Savior. How can you help them to go to Him in haste?— Quotes & Links: Link to FIND HIM New Testament Study Guide:https://www.seagullbook.com/find-him-new-testament-come-follow-me-guidebook.html Link to Come to Bethlehem and See by Ganel-Lyn Condie: https://www.seagullbook.com/come-to-bethlehem-and-see.html “Thus personally invited to undertake a search for the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger, did these shepherds concern themselves with the security of their possessions? Did they procrastinate in their search for Jesus? The record affirms that the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us now go even unto Bethlehem. . . . “‘And they came with haste.' (Luke 2:15–16; emphasis added).” (Thomas S. Monson, in Conference Report, October 1965, 141).“In my mind, the shepherds represent valued helpers of our communities, the workers who take care of us—first responders, police officers, nurses, gas station attendants, and so many others—who work and watch often when most of us are sleeping the night away. God is just as aware of modern-day workers as He was aware of the Bethlehem field workers of Jesus's time. God watches over those who may at times seem invisible to the rest of society.” (Come to Bethlehem and See by Ganel-Lyn Condie)“So don't delay. Go in haste toward Jesus in your pile of laundry and bills. Go in haste in your anxiety and addictions. Go in haste to Him no matter where you are in life.” (FIND HIM New Testament Study Guide by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum, p.6)“If our sorrow and suffering strengthen our faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ, “[our] sorrow shall be turned to joy.” … The suffering in mortality will bring a greater appreciation of the blessings of a resurrected, perfect body. … Suffering to develop strength will not exceed our ability to endure to the end. … Trials give us the development of spirituality that we probably never would get if we didn't have the experience where the very jaws of hell gape open their mouth wide after us.” (1983–O:65, Robert D. Hales, Your Sorrow Shall Be Turned to Joy)—Talk of Him is presented by Seagull Book and hosted by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum.

In this episode, we talk about how our relationship with God strengthens when we make sacrifices in His name. Sacrifice can be seen as a negative term until we recognize that what we do blesses others and ourselves, as well as helps us to grow closer to God. We also talked about some blessings we've seen in our lives as we have paid our tithing. May we all be grateful for the blessings of our sacrifices and the love God has for us and all of His children!

Church of Jesus Christ Study Session seeks to generate reflection about areas in the Restored Gospel. Whether it's Come Follow Me, a General Conference talk or a recent Gospel Topic, hopefully you'll find something to keep the Spirit of Christ in your life. Twitter - @mattsroberts90 ldsstudysession@gmail.com You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'. Today we continue diving into the experience of Zeniff. We consider the lessons he learnt from the first invasion of the Lamanites and how this applies to us. We also reflect on the progress Zeniff made as a leader and what we can glean from his progress. Elder Robert D. Hales taught that ‘joyfully living within our means and preparing for the ups and downs of life’ helps us to ‘be ready for the rainy-day emergencies when they come into our lives.’ He added, ‘happy is the man who lives within his means and is able to save a little for future needs. As we live providently and increase our gifts and talents, we become more self-reliant. Self-reliance is taking responsibility for our own spiritual and temporal welfare and for those whom Heavenly Father has entrusted to our care’
Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: “Our ultimate goal is to become like the Savior, and that goal is enhanced by our unselfish service to others. Our ability to serve is increased or diminished by the level of our self-reliance.”

Welcome to the final episode of season 2. I am taking a short break from the podcast and will be back in September with more faith-filled interviews for you. In episode 63, my guest is Shelley Swapp. Shelley shares what she hopes her children will remember about her as a mom. Motherhood Challenges She also gives insights into the challenges her family has faced in the past few years. As a mother, she has watched her children deal with moving, brain injury, physical special needs, mental health challenges and faith crisis. No Checklist to Perfect Kids Shelley shares how she always believed there was a “checklist” of things to do as a mom. If she could just check all of the things on the list off, like family home evening, scripture study, attending church and the temple, etc., all of our children would turn out exactly as she planned. But Shelley shares how she has learned that’s not what the Gospel is about. She gives her insights on agency, something we fought valiantly for before we came to earth. Instead of a “checklist,” Shelley discusses how “The true test of motherhood is who I become and the true test of fatherhood is who my husband becomes and not who my children become.” She openly admits she and her husband weren’t perfect parents but can honestly say they have always loved their children. Preserving Relationships Shelley shares how she has persevered her relationship with her children, especially as some have chosen to leave the church. She shares how realizing our Heavenly Parents don’t sit in heaven wringing their hands has helped her to avoid worrying as well. She knows her children are on their own journey and it’s not about her. The Power of Scripture Both the Book of Mormon and the Bible have been huge helps to Shelley in her life as a mother. She describes the Book of Mormon as an entire book about families who were fighting valiantly to keep their children in the Gospel. She attributes the stories of Jesus found in the Bible to helping her get to a place where she can love and accept her children where they are. Her Son’s Perspective In preparation for the interview, Shelley spoke with her son who has recently experienced a faith crisis. She shares the advice he would gives to family members who are struggling to understand why someone would leave. Why Heaven is Close Ultimately, Shelley shares her testimony that heaven is so close. We can recognize tender mercies and angels here on earth. She acknowledges God’s hand in her life and knows He is helping her and her children.

Hales, With all the Feeling of a Tender Parent, April 2004 General Conference Talk by President Henry B. Eyring, A Home Where the Spirit of the Lord Dwells, April 2019 General Conference This is the quote by President Eyring Shelley referenced in the interview from the talk above. “Some have tried with full heart for that blessing, yet it has not been granted. My promise to you is one that a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles once made to me. I had said to him that because of choices some in our extended family had made, I doubted that we could be together in the world to come. He said, as well as I can remember, ‘You are worrying about the wrong problem. You just live worthy of the celestial kingdom, and the family arrangements will be more wonderful than you can imagine.'” Listen to Shelley’s daughter share her story on episode 6 of the podcast, Still Tripin’ Read more about Shelley’s motherhood journey in an article she wrote on the Awaiting Rainbows website.

Time to recap General Conference! Which talks were your favorite? Also, Elder Robert D. Hales passes away. We remember one of the greats.
KSL Newsradio's Becky Bruce takes a look back at the life and legacy of Elder Robert D. Hales of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. A native of New York, the LDS apostle played baseball and served as a fighter pilot before his successful career in business and eventual calling to serve in the Mormon church.
Robert D. Hales - New Era Magazine - August 2017
We learn from the Fifth Article of Faith and from the Church Handbooks that "a person must be called of God to serve in the Church." Notice the preposition is “called of God,” not called by God. It's easy for leaders to assume that God has a calling board in heaven on the wall of His office covered with magnetic pictures of each person in your ward. We assume He has determined every calling in your ward and carefully placed individuals in specific auxiliaries, and He is waiting for you, the leader, to read His mind so that you put every person in his or her perfect calling so that your calling board matches His. This results in leaders straining to read the mind of God; or trying to figure out who was called by God, rather than who is called of God. Elder Bednar gave a similar message in the April 2017 General Conference when he said, "...a missionary is not called to a place; rather, he or she is called to serve." Likewise, a member of your ward is called to serve, and where they are assigned in your ward may not always be gift wrapped in revelation. I'll be the first to admit it’s a powerful experience when a specific person comes to the mind of the bishop, and he knows where this member should be called to serve. But leaders must also feel confident in placing individuals in callings per their own decision making capacity rather than expecting a clear revelation in every instance. Elder Robert D. Hales said, "I remind all of us that the Holy Ghost is not given to control us. Some of us unwisely seek the Holy Ghost’s direction on every minor decision in our lives. This trivializes His sacred role." This guidance can be applied to making decision in our wards and organizations. Often, revelation comes by leaders deciding with the good judgment the Lord gave him or her, and then considering it revelation. The life experiences and decision making ability the Lord has given leaders is a way He influences and directs through revelation. Once leaders recognize the autonomy they have in whom to select to serve, the more confidence they have to make a call and not fret when it doesn't work out, or the process is messy. That said, the following are key pitfalls some leaders experience in the calling process. My hope is that leaders can watch out for these pitfalls and act with confidence, minimizing the burden of trying to read the mind of God in every instance. Expecting Specific Revelation for Each Calling When leaders have the mindset of finding who is called by God rather than who is called of God, we tend to search for a specific name who could serve, rather than a list of options. This is often seen when the bishop is approached by the Relief Society president and the Primary president, both having received inspiration that a specific sister is to serve in her auxiliary. It may be that the Lord places the name of an individual in the mind of the leader not that the individual should be specifically called to that position, but rather, He is guiding you to consider someone you haven't, helping you arrive at a better decision. So, when two auxiliary leaders approach the bishopric with the same name coming from the same Heavenly Source, it is important for the bishopric to validate the auxiliary leader’s prompting that is part of the revelatory process, and know "that final responsibility to receive inspiration on whom to call rests with the stake presidency or the bishopric." (Handbook 2: 19.1.2) When the Bishopric Makes All the Assignments I often hear of bishoprics who spend most their meeting time discussing each calling in each auxiliary, without considering or including the input of the auxiliary leaders. They replace primary teachers, elders quorum instructors, Gospel Doctrine teachers, etc., without any input from the auxiliary leaders. There are many auxiliary leaders in the church who find out in ward business during sacrament meeting who is on their roster. Or,
