Russell Nelson taught,  

The more you learn about the Savior, the easier it will be to trust in His mercy, His infinite love, and His strengthening, healing, and redeeming power. Your growing faith in Him will move mountains—not the mountains of rock that beautify the earth but the mountains of misery in your lives. Your flourishing faith will help you turn challenges into unparalleled growth and opportunity.”

Our guest, Jacob Cochran, will help us understand our need for a Savior so that it will be easier to trust Him and grow the faith we desperately need to move the mountains of difficulty in our lives. 

Dieter Uchtdorf explained that, 

“Being grateful in times of distress does not mean we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges.”

“True gratitude is an expression of hope and testimony. It comes from acknowledging that we do not always understand the trials of life but trusting that one day we will.”

Our guest today, Lori Marett, will share her experience of losing her husband to a terminal illness and how gratitude helped her feel God’s love and peace in the midst of her afflictions.

The Savior’s approach is the opposite, He says “come unto me all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If we come unto Christ and allow Him to, He takes our marriages by the hand  and guides us through the downpour. When burdens are beyond are ability to shoulder, He carries us. 

Today’s guests, Kim and John Sorich, will both share their journey through Kim’s breast cancer and how they created a deeper and more meaningful marriage because of it.

We want our children to experience joy. But without values to guide our children’s decisions, joy will elude them. 

Can joy be taught? Is it a choice or a condition experienced on rare occasions?  And how do you teach to children of varying ages without it becoming a lecture?

Our guest, New York Times bestselling author and world renowned speaker, Linda Eyre, will help us answer these questions.

When we live in truth, we accept what is. When we live in illusion, we attempt to deal with what isn’t. In other words, we deny truth—things as they really are—and get mired in how we think things should or should not be. Ours becomes a world of wishful thinking.

Today’s guest, Sherrie Mills Johnson, teaches this in her book “Count it all Joy.”

She says, “while you are busy throwing punches at illusion, real life goes on all around you—unexperienced and unenjoyed—and problems go unresolved.”

In this podcast, Sherrie will walk us through the pit of illusion to the other side, where we will come to understand the difference between necessary pain and unnecessary pain and discover that joy is ours for the choosing.

Sherrie has also published more than one hundred-fifty articles, essays and short stories in various magazines and as chapters in books. 

David  McKay taught that, “No success can compensate for failure in the home”

Most of our regrets and guilt will not come from our lack of achievements, success, or possessions, they will come form our inadequate efforts within our family relationships.

Our Families have the potential to bring greater joy into our lives than anything else. 

What can we do to stop the breakdown of family relationships and facilitate greater joy and peace. 

Our guest, New York Times bestselling author and world renowned speaker, Linda Eyre, will help us answer that question.  She teaches, “The bottom line is we must turn our hearts to our children and our families. …Strong families are still attainable, but only by parents who passionately pledge themselves to doing what it takes to build and bolster, to protect and prioritize their families—only by parents who consciously set out to make their family culture stronger than peer culture, the internet, the media culture, and all other cultures that swirl around their children.”

Tara McCausland mother, Rhyll Croshaw, shared her story in a previous podcast—The Sorrow Of Betrayal Trauma, which has blessed the lives of many. Today we will hear the story from the perspective of a child in the hope of blessing others who struggle with or are impacted by sexual addiction. 

You will be touched by this story as you learn more about what trust really is and isn’t, how you can access forgiveness and avoid the dangers of shame. 

Guest Tara McCausland teaches us beautiful insights, 

“In all of this darkness sometimes people can get stuck there in the darkness. But I really do believe all things no matter how messy and painful can be turned to our good if we give them to God. 

There are so many people who are hiding in the shadows. Both those who suffer from addictions and those who suffer from betrayal trauma, because there is so much shame connected to this challenge. 

Shame damages us, but if we can understand that connection and love for ourselves and others— are powerful remedies to peoples challenges, we will stop living in shame and stop shaming others and the love that can heal can be more manifest in our lives.” 

There is help and there is hope for the addict and those betrayed. There are resources to help you find peace and joy in you life a if you reach out. Click on the link below:

Our guest, Marcia Price, can empathize with those who may experience intense emotions over lost or unfulfilled dreams.

From an early age, she envisioned life as a happily married woman with a large family. She was blessed to have only one biological child which was one of the greatest blessings of her life. She wanted to have many more children, but that didn’t happen for her. And then through a failed marriage, her fairy tale story seemed to dissolve before her eyes. She was heartbroken.

But God hears every prayer and knows the righteous desires of our hearts. Some blessings come soon, some come later in life and others don’t come until mortality is over. Our guest today will share her miraculous story—a story of a righteous desire being fulfilled at an unexpected time and in an unexpected way. Her story demonstrates that with God nothing is impossible.

Today our guest, Gove Allen will address this question, by walking us through the seven founding values which make us Americans. He will help us understand our roots and how these foundational virtues became the bedrock of America.  

These values are what give us our identity as Americans and make us great. Without them we are no different than any other country. 

Five of the founding values have lost their original meaning in  the hearts of many Americans. 

D. Todd Christofferson warned, 

“A thriving society can fail in time if, it abandons the cardinal virtues that uphold its peace and prosperity.”

We need this podcast to be shared with every American in the hope it will inspire each of us to reaffirm and embrace these seven virtues in our lives. We are a nation at risk. God bless America!
