How does understanding the interconnected purposes of the sacrament, as presented in Doctrine & Covenants 27, deepen our appreciation for this sacred ordinance? In this episode Matthew O. Richardson, professor of Church history and doctrine, discusses several key themes and gospel principles related to the ordinance of the sacrament. He presents three specific purposes: remembering the past, specifically the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ; looking forward to future redemption; and providing safety and protection in the present. Further, he discusses the historical context and symbolism of the sacramental emblems and connects them to putting on the armor of God and illustrates its role in providing spiritual protection. In understanding the symbolism of these emblems, we can enhance our worship experience and foster a closer relationship with the Savior.     Publications:  “Sacramental Connections: Deliverance, Redemption, and Safety (Doctrine & Covenants 27)” originally published in You Shall Have My Word: Exploring the Text of the Doctrine and Covenants (Religious Studies Center, 2012)  “We Have Now Received the Atonement” in Shedding Light on the New Testament: Acts—Revelation (Religious Studies Center, 2009)  “The Savior's Love” in Our Savior's Love: Hope & Healing in Christ (Religious Studies Center, 2015)  “Losing the Sacred Perspective: Social Ethics and Character Development” in Moral Foundations: Standing Firm in a World of Shifting Values (Religious Studies Center, 2008)    Click here to learn more about Matthew O.

Modern culture tells us that the church should stay out of politics and, sadly, this sentiment is pervasive from both outside and inside the church. In reality, reading the Bible with any level of intellectual honesty will lead a believer to a clear mandate that Christians have not only a right but a responsibility to lean in to the political sphere and to bring the light of the kingdom to all layers of society!

Let's delve into a thought-provoking question.  What's your relationship with the word 'connection '? Whose opinions do you value when you seek out guidance?  When you have to make a big decision, is there someone you value and trust? Mentorship, a crucial aspect of personal and professional growth, is often undervalued. According to Mentorloop, 76% of people believe mentors are important, yet only 37% have one. This gap is significant and underscores the need for more mentorship opportunities. Across the nation, 86% of children ages 6 to 17 have at least one adult mentor in their school, neighborhood, or community who provides advice or guidance, according to the 2022 National Survey of Children's Health.   Deborah Heiser, Ph.D., is an Applied Developmental Psychologist specializing in midlife and beyond and is redefining what life after 40 looks and feels like.

Topic: Shedding Light on Solar Underperformance Moderator: Michael Eyman, Managing Director, Origis Services   Guest: Rhone Resch, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Solarlytics In Episode 22 of Power Players by Origis®, host Michael Eyman discusses some of the causes of solar asset underperformance and how to address it with Rhone Resch, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Solarlytics.  During their conversation, Resch and Eyman discussed some of the causes of solar asset underperformance and how to address it.

Welcome to Episode 43 of the QR Lab Podcast, where we dive deep into one of the most profound and contentious topics: the nature of belief and non-belief. In this episode, we shed light on atheism, exploring the perspectives of belief versus non-belief from multiple angles and dimensions. Is it more fantastical to believe in a creator, or does atheism require an even greater leap of faith? We critically assess the veracity and potential absurdities of both viewpoints, questioning what it truly means to believe in nothing—or to embrace a position of atheism. Join us as we navigate the philosophical terrain between faith and skepticism, examining whether it is belief in a higher power or non-belief that demands more from us. This episode isn't just about the clash of ideas; it's about understanding the underlying reasons that drive people toward belief or non-belief, and what those choices say about the human condition.

Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the award-winning podcast about anything and everything connected with nature, heard in 115 countries, 50 states, and all throughout the Carolinas. Honored with the Best of the Weeklies podcast award by the readers of the Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly, we bring you engaging and educational content each week.   In this episode, hosts Lori and Debbie are joined by Christopher Page for an enlightening discussion about light pollution and its impacts. Christopher reminisces about his childhood in North Carolina when the night sky was filled with stars, but laments the increasing light pollution and the light domes over cities at night. The hosts share their own memories of seeing the Milky Way with less light pollution.   Christopher introduces the Bortle scale, which measures light pollution from 1 to 9, rating Charlotte as an 8 or 9 and Matthews as a 7. They discuss an Audubon initiative aimed at reducing city lights during bird migration.   Christopher also shares his experiences photographing the northern lights in Virginia and the Milky Way on the coast, noting the challenges of capturing faint nebulae and star clusters. The conversation touches on how light pollution affects animals like sea turtles, migratory birds, and dung beetles, which use stars for navigation.   To help reduce light pollution, Christopher offers practical tips such as using motion sensors, shielding lights, and opting for warmer colored lights. The hosts and Christopher emphasize the importance of preserving dark skies and share fond memories of clearer night skies from their childhoods.   Christopher also provides information on how to access his astrophotography online and offers astronomy resources. Before concluding, he extends his photography services to listeners.   Tune in to learn more about the significance of dark skies and how we can all contribute to reducing light pollution.   If you have ideas for topics that you'd like us to pursue, send us a message either on our Facebook page or our website.

Takeaways Dad Degree is a platform that offers guidance and a sense of community for parents. Michael started Dad Degree as a way to share his experiences and help others avoid the mistakes he made. Fatherhood can be a challenging journey, and it's important to have support and a sense of belonging. Many fathers struggle with bonding with their children and feeling like a dad, but it's a common experience that can take time. Society often overlooks the challenges and emotions that fathers face, and it's important to have open conversations about fatherhood. Difficult experiences can bring couples closer together and strengthen their bond. Communication is key in any relationship, including parenting. Positive communication and active listening are essential for building strong bonds with children. Being present and engaged in a child's life is crucial. Spending quality time, creating meaningful experiences, and making memories together are more valuable than material possessions. Parenting in today's society comes with challenges, such as the influence of technology and social media. It is important to set boundaries and have open conversations with children about these topics. Breaking negative cycles and ending harmful patterns is necessary to create a loving and supportive environment for children. Reflecting on parenting styles and making positive changes can have a lasting impact on a child's well-being.

Andrew Lewin interviews Chris Nelson and Lewis, two surfers and filmmakers, about the impact of the surfing industry on the environment. They discuss the evolution of the surfing industry, the challenges it faces in aligning with environmental values, and the need for more sustainable practices. They also highlight the role of smaller, more environmentally conscious brands in filling the gap left by larger, mainstream brands. The conversation touches on the use of petrochemicals in surfboards and wetsuits, the environmental impact of travel for surfing, and the need for greater awareness and action within the surfing community. The documentary film explores the environmental and health impacts of neoprene production in Cancer Alley, a predominantly black community in the deep south. The film highlights the historic layers of environmental racism and the increased cancer risk faced by the community. It also exposes the complicity of the surf industry in supporting the petrochemical company responsible for the pollution. The filmmakers aim to raise awareness and drive consumer-driven change by promoting the use of natural rubber as an alternative to neoprene. The film is currently in post-production and will be released soon.

In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court addressed the abortion pill, but only to establish clearer guideposts as to when doctors can challenge the FDA in a federal lawsuit. The case revolved around private plaintiffs who objected to relaxed rules around abortion pills but failed to demonstrate a personal injury, lacking standing as a result. This decision sets an important precedent: individuals must show clear harm, not just moral or ideological objections, to challenge government rules through the court system. Join The Lieb Cast as we explore the implications of this ruling for future attempts to sue agencies based on policy disagreements alone.

Hi all.  It is Beth here.  I have Scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease. I was diagnosed just 8 months ago in September 2023 after 3-5 years of trying to figure out all of my vague symptoms.  I am the Master of Ceremonies for this event and I am inviting you to join me for the National Scleroderma 5k walk/run:  "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma". It is on Saturday, June 8th, 2024 from 8-11 am at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am using my voice as both a doctor and a patient to raise awareness of a bigger issue:Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease, but autoimmune diseases are COMMON. They are underrecognized.  They difficult to diagnose and treat. Early recognition is key to preventing disability and unnecessary suffering.There are over 100 autoimmune diseases. Some autoimmune diseases are rare but there are a LOT of very common ones like Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus.  Even diseases that are not “known as” autoimmune disorders are autoimmune in nature —Type 1 diabetes, Celiac disease, Guillain Barre syndrome, Inflammatory bowel disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis (the most COMMON cause of hypothyroidism). Taken altogether, 1 in 15 people has an autoimmune disease. Alone we are rare. Together, we are everywhere. Walks like this are meant to help people feel less alone by being surrounded by others who are like them. On June 8th, we walk to raise awareness and support for Scleroderma.  AND every day, we can share our stories and support one another as an autoimmune community that includes over 50 million people in the United States. Please come walk/run with us if you or someone you know lives with an autoimmune disease.To register for the walk:1.           Go to https://scleroderma.org/steppingout/2.           Under “Upcoming 2024 Stepping out to Cure Scleroderma Walks”, select the “Rocky Mountain Chapter” 3.           Click on Salt Lake City, June 8th, 20244.           Please join MY TEAM! Click on “Join a team” and enter my team name: “Phoenix Rising”. Why? A phoenix is a mythical bird that lives for 500 years. When it comes time to die, the phoenix bursts into flames and then rises from its own flames to be reborn. Autoimmune diseases are disorders of inflammation – fire in your body. That fire can consume you or you can be reborn from it. Please share!

Join us for a candid discussion with Matt Murphy, a former US Army Green Beret turned advocate against human trafficking and child exploitation. Matt sheds light on the dark realities of these issues, their intersection with technology, and the urgent need for action. Join the conversation to explore how we can protect our children, preserve our humanity, and navigate the complexities of the modern world. Highlights:"Parents don't parent anymore. They prioritize being cool or keeping up appearances over being a parent." "If all you were doing was just like waging a moral war, it was about what's right and what's wrong and not about the ultimate reason behind it.” “If we can't collectively rally behind protecting our children, then we've lost the essence of humanity.” Timestamps:00:00 - Prioritizing Parenting Over Keeping Up00:30 - From Green Beret to Anti-Trafficking Advocate03:10 - Shining Light on Dark Realities: Urgency in Combating Exploitation25:16 - Impact of Social Media on Children's Exposure to Harmful Content30:31 - Challenges of Maintaining Real Relationships in a Digital Age31:41 - The Danger of Online Predators Manipulating Children into Sexual Exploitation1:20:01 - The Decline of Constructive Conflict in Society1:20:54 - Polarization and the Potential for Civil Conflict1:22:17 - Lack of Critical Thinking Skills in Today's Youth1:45:26 - The Impact of Social Media on Societal Paralysis
