Welcome to Meaning-Making 101 where we explore the crisis of meaning in our world today, and how we may help usher in an awakening from it.In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the ratcheting up of divisive rhetoric and political violence continues to accelerate. Regular people are increasingly pressured to take a side. Today we consider how easy it is to become like the very things we so passionately fight against. And we hope to offer another way: a radically independent stance that can act as mediator between the increasingly angry sides of this manufactured divide.This continues our coverage of the the fall out following the shocking d**th of free-speech advocate, and founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk.We pray that we as a country can rise above the inflamed divisions to see the heart behind every fellow human, and heal this growing divide before we downward spiral into civilizational collapse.Stay Tuned! At the end of this episode we take a look at some of the actual Good News going on in the world in our Good News Roundup!

Send us a textWhat does it mean to be truly meek? In this powerful exploration of meekness as a fruit of the Spirit, we discover that biblical meekness isn't weakness—it's strength under God's perfect control.We begin by examining pride as the root of most sin and the direct opposite of meekness. Pride drives us to assert ourselves when we should be submitting to God's authority and timing. It causes us to promote ourselves when we should be waiting for God's elevation.Moses emerges as our biblical archetype of meekness. Despite his privileged upbringing in Pharaoh's palace, when God called him to leadership, Moses responded with genuine reluctance: "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?" This stands in stark contrast to contemporary culture where believers with minimal spiritual maturity eagerly pursue platforms and positions of influence. Moses—one of history's greatest leaders—approached his calling with hesitation and dependence on God, while many today rush forward with self-assurance and minimal preparation.Through personal stories and biblical insights, we unpack how meekness transforms our daily interactions and decisions. One participant shares how stepping back from leadership in a women's Bible study—though difficult—allowed others to develop their gifts. Another describes how being placed in an unfamiliar field required humility to learn new skills, revealing that "it is God who qualifies us" for every task He assigns.The conversation takes a profound turn when we consider the judgment seat of Christ, where eventually everyone will submit to His lordship. The difference? The righteous submit in humble recognition of His authority, while the wicked submit through forced compliance. Their pride must be broken; ours is willingly surrendered.Join us for this transformative discussion that will challenge you to cultivate true meekness—not as self-deprecation, but as strength properly channeled through complete dependence on God. Listen now and discover how embracing meekness might be the most powerful decision you ever make.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Send us a textThe crucifixion of Christ stands as the definitive act of salvation, rendering all human additions not just unnecessary but dangerous. This profound teaching explores Paul's brilliant contrast in Galatians between circumcision and crucifixion—revealing how believers who try to supplement faith with religious works fundamentally misunderstand the gospel.When Paul declares that "those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires," he's making a revolutionary statement about salvation. The Galatians were being told they needed the minor physical act of circumcision to complete their salvation, while Paul points to something far more radical: spiritual crucifixion. Why would anyone settle for a small ritual when Christ offers complete transformation through his death?The teaching exposes our natural tendency to contribute something to our salvation—whether circumcision, baptism, Sabbath-keeping, or other religious practices. Each addition reveals our reluctance to accept that Christ's work alone is sufficient. As the message powerfully states: "There is nothing, absolutely nothing lacking that any man needs that was not accomplished by Christ."This episode features a moving testimony from a listener whose life was transformed by embracing this truth of grace alone. The genuine fellowship and brotherly love demonstrated throughout showcases what happens when believers unite around the pure gospel rather than religious performance.Join us for this stirring exploration of salvation's essence and experience the freedom that comes from trusting completely in Christ's finished work. Subscribe to continue growing in your understanding of God's grace and to join a community of believers committed to the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textThe ninth and final fruit of the Spirit—temperance—might be the most crucial of all. As our conversation reveals, without self-control, the other eight spiritual fruits cannot properly develop or manifest in our lives. This transformative insight shifts our understanding of temperance from just another spiritual quality to the foundational element that enables Christian character.What exactly does temperance look like in practice? We explore how it creates spiritual boundaries—a "city with walls" that protects our inner life without restricting our spiritual growth. This fruit operates primarily in the battleground of the mind, governing our thoughts, emotions, passions, and impulses before they become problematic actions. The temperate believer lives moderately, avoiding harmful extremes while maintaining spiritual vitality.The Apostle Paul exemplifies temperance beautifully. Despite his exceptional education and status as a former Pharisee, he demonstrated remarkable restraint by submitting to fishermen like Peter and James—men who would have been considered his social inferiors before his conversion. Paul's letter to Philemon further illustrates this fruit, as he chooses persuasion over command despite his apostolic authority.Our discussion takes an urgent turn when examining the state of biblical literacy among modern Christians. How many believers can engage in substantive conversations about core doctrines like resurrection? Why do so many avoid deeper theological engagement? The answer often lies in conviction—confronting biblical truth forces us to examine whether our lives align with that truth, which can be uncomfortable yet necessary for spiritual growth.For those seeking to hear God's voice today, one participant offers this powerful reminder: "If you want to hear God's voice, read scripture out loud." The Word remains our primary connection to divine wisdom and the pathway to developing all the fruits of the Spirit, especially temperance.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered what really happens when we neglect God's Word? This eye-opening conversation delves into the critical role Scripture plays in the believer's life as "the sword of the Spirit" - our essential spiritual weapon for both defense and offense.The discussion reveals a profound truth using the Garden of Eden as a cautionary tale. Notice how Satan's first question to Eve was "Did God really say?" - directly challenging her knowledge of God's instructions. When he detected her addition to God's command, he found his opening to twist Scripture further. This same pattern threatens believers today: when we lack grounding in Scripture, we become vulnerable to deception, and sin finds its foothold.Perhaps most alarming is the epidemic within Christian circles of believers becoming teachers before they've become proper students of God's Word. This rush to teach without adequate study leads to arrogance, defensiveness when challenged, and an inability to explain one's beliefs. True discipleship requires the humility to be a lifelong student before presuming to teach others.The conversation also brings clarity to commonly misunderstood concepts like blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (the ultimate rejection of God by unbelievers) versus grieving the Holy Spirit (what believers do when they sin). But the most liberating insight centers on Paul's profound statement in Galatians 5:23: "against such there is no law." Those led by the Spirit, who exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, naturally fulfill the law's intent through Spirit-empowered living.Ready to experience the freedom that comes from being grounded in Scripture rather than bound by legalism? Join us as we explore how salvation comes through faith alone, and how the regenerated believer has "died to the law" to live according to a new operating principle: the law of faith rather than works.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textDive into the heart of Paul's letter to the Galatians as we explore the transformative message of justification by faith alone. This powerful exposition of Galatians 5 confronts one of the earliest and most persistent threats to the gospel—the tendency to add human works to God's free gift of salvation.When the Galatian church began incorporating circumcision and other requirements alongside faith in Christ, Paul delivered this passionate defense of gospel purity. As he declares, "If you add anything to justification by faith, whatever it is you add, once you add it, that is no longer the gospel that saves." This stark warning remains profoundly relevant today as many still struggle with the simplicity of salvation through faith alone.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we examine the final fruits of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22-23: faithfulness, meekness, and temperance. Unlike some of the more outwardly manifested fruits, these three focus on the believer's inner character. Faithfulness here refers not primarily to our faith toward God but to our reliability in relationships with others—are we dependable people whom others can trust?Meekness, often misunderstood as weakness, actually represents strength under control. Just as Moses was called the meekest man on earth, this quality reflects the humility to restrain one's power appropriately. The panel offers illuminating perspectives, including the analogy of a powerful horse willingly accepting a rider's guidance.Throughout the discussion, Paul's liberating declaration echoes: "Against such there is no law." Those led by the Spirit produce fruit that no law could ever condemn, freeing believers from the burden of legalism and releasing them into the freedom Christ secured. Whether you're struggling with legalistic tendencies or seeking to understand the transformative work of the Spirit, this exploration of Galatians offers clarity and encouragement for your spiritual journey.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Matt Miles is a Political Science professor at Brigham Young University–Idaho and a co-host of This Week in Mormons and the Latter-day Lens podcasts. Links Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Religious Identity in US Politics The Latter-day Lens podcast This Week in Mormons Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights This discussion centers on a research-backed framework for measuring religiosity, moving beyond traditional metrics to focus on the transformative effects of faith on an individual's life. Beyond the Three B's: Traditionally, religiosity has been measured by "the three B's": Behavior (what a person does), Belonging (their social connections), and Belief (their convictions). Matt Miles argues that these are insufficient measures of genuine faith. The Fourth B: Becoming: A more accurate measure is "religious becoming"—the extent to which a person has been transformed by their faith. This concept suggests that true religiosity is not just about actions but about internal change. Four Aspects of Transformation: Based on his research, Miles identified four universal traits that indicate "religious becoming": Transcendence (a connection to the divine), Humanity (love for others), Justice (a belief in fairness), and Temperance (humility). Faith and Political Tolerance: The research shows that individuals with higher scores in "religious becoming" are more politically tolerant. They are less likely to view those with opposing political views as a threat, in contrast to those whose faith is measured only by the "three B's." Challenges of Genuine Change: The episode highlights the difficulty for leaders and parents in discerning whether someone has truly been transformed by the gospel or is simply going through the motions. Leadership Applications Leaders should focus on teaching a "holistic gospel" that emphasizes the principles of "becoming," rather than just providing a checklist of behaviors. This encourages genuine internal change over external compliance. The discussion suggests that the Church is effective at teaching "transcendence" (connection to God) but could improve at teaching "humanity" (love for others) and "temperance" (humility). Leaders can apply this insight by creating more opportunities for members to serve others and develop empathy. The research on political tolerance can help leaders foster more charitable and understanding discussions within their wards and stakes, particularly on sensitive topics.

When Christopher Columbus brought tobacco to Europe, it became a miracle drug. It was used for over 250 maladies (e.g., warts, asthma, ulcers, arrow wounds, toothaches, bad breath, deafness, tonsillitis, nosebleeds, epilepsy, etc.). From 1790 to 1830, alcohol consumption rose in America. Most men and some women and children drank alcohol regularly. Steven Harper recorded that in 1820, the upstate New York region near Joseph's home made a lot of corn whiskey and exported 65,277 gallons and 69 tons of beer. However, by 1830, temperance movements across the states—including a 239-member society in Kirtland—began attacking alcohol, tobacco, and other social ills (Harper, Making Sense of the D&C, 322-323). Several other food issues were discussed in local newspapers. A 19th-20th century contemporary of the Saints, Catherine Beecher, spoke against tea and coffee specifically as dangerous as alcohol. On February 1, 1833, four weeks before Joseph received this revelation, a Kirtland distillery (1819- 1833) closed due to a local temperance society's work to decrease their clients (P.H. Peterson, 13). It was part of a national organization, with the nearby larger city of Albany, NY, boasting twelve temperance societies. Joseph subscribed to local newspapers that also denounced alcohol consumption. It was a national issue, and it was on Joseph's mind. These local issues, and Emma's request, probably contributed to the Prophet Joseph's desire to learn the Lord's will on the subject. The Word of Wisdom differs from regularly published temperance society claims as it never claimed to be a cure for a list of ills, nor the cause of many illnesses (including cholera). Temperance societies also built on biblical warnings like Ephesians 5:18, that denounces excessive use of wine, or Proverbs 23:2 on gluttony (and 23:21; Deut. 21:20; Luke 21:34). Revelation in Kirtland, Ohio On February 27, 1833, Joseph met on the upper level of the Whitney's Store with a group of about 22 Saints for an institute-style class called "the school of the prophets." Zebedee Coltrin remembered that Joseph received this revelation in an adjoining room with only two or three others present, right before the school met. When he entered the school of the prophets, he had the revelation in his hand. As he began to read, all but one were using tobacco, but all put down their pipes as he read. Also at the School of the Prophets a remarkable vision occurred in which several members of the group saw Jesus Christ and/or Heavenly Father. Eye witness accounts are explored in this video podcast. Finally, information on the Apocrypha is given and Dr. Wilson goes into detail about each book including the ones she considers to be her favorite. Join Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson as she examines these exciting elements of Church history.

The right time to do the hard thing, the courageous thing, the right thing? It's right now.

Guilt is about the past and the past is the one thing we cannot change. All we can do is do better now.

True curiosity demands action. It challenges your assumptions, expands your worldview, and pushes you to do something with what you learn.

What good is courage if not in pursuit of justice? And how can we know what is just and right without wisdom? And without temperance and self-discipline, how will we have the strength both to acquire wisdom and to apply courage?

“Why do you wait?” Seneca asks us. “Wisdom comes haphazard to no man.”

Like the Cardinal directions, the four main points on the compass—north, south, east, west—the four virtues are a kind of compass. A guide to what to do, who to be, how to behave, how to respond in every situation. 

Most people are enslaved and controlled and directed by their ignorance. Their impulses. Their temper. Their desires and delusions.
