Like we talked about in last week's episode, "Lessons From A Spiritual Arsonist," there are certainly times to teach formally, but sometimes the best lessons come in the moment, right from the heart.

#91 - Surprise! We are hours away from having baby girl and couldn't let the night get away without expressing our gratitude and testimonies of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.

And please, if any of you are struggling, please talk to someone. We need you. We all have a part to play -- and yours is just as important as anyone else's. Love you. Talk to you soon.

#88 - President Jeffrey R. Holland said, "... God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection ... I testify that both of those prayers were heard and answered by a divinely compassionate Heavenly Father, even if the prayers ... were not answered the way I asked." 

In this episode, Jason shares a recent Institute lesson where the class discussed how we can better Hear Him if we seek to improve our communication with Him.

#87 - In our continued discussion of the "wonder of the temple," Jason & Allie talk about how the temple really does bring increased power into our lives and allows us access to all of the blessings given to Israel. We hope this inspires you to take pride in your "birthright" here on this cruise ship called Earth and to come spend time with the Lord in His House.

#86 - President Nelson said, "I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy house—then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples.” 

In this episode, Jason and Allison begin a multi-episode discussion of, as President Holland called it, "the wonder of the temple." We hope these episodes will help you love Jesus and His House more than ever, as His House is a place where He can and will make himself more known, clear and obvious to all of us.

#85 - On the title page of The Book of Mormon it says its purpose is "to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations." 

In this episode, Jason shares his institute lesson from last week where many of the students bore witness of Jesus Christ and how he's become known to them through the Book of Mormon. It's powerful and we hope we enjoy it. 

Also, come join Jason at institute on Thursday nights at 7:00 p.m. at 2150 E Bengal Blvd. The topic, starting September 12, is "Hearing Him & Gaining Positive Spiritual Momentum."

#84 - President Packer said, "You are growing up in enemy territory … The adversary is in homes, entertainment, the media, language—everything around you. In most cases, his presence is undetected.” Thankfully, we have The Book of Mormon to expose some of the enemy's most common tactics and strategies -- especially his lies. 

In this episode, Jason & Allison discuss how powerful and subtle his lies can be, and how the Truth from Jesus will bring the comfort, direction, protection, and confidence we seek.

#81 - Two years ago this month we published our first episode of this podcast! It is entitled "Why We Believe." In it, we shared some of our main reasons for having faith in Jesus Christ and believing in His restored gospel. A lot has happened in the last two years, so we thought it would be worthwhile to talk about why we still believe, and how He has been with us through the ups and downs since that first episode. Please share this with whoever it could help!

#80 - In honor of Father's Day yesterday, we wanted to share some thoughts on how we know The Father -- our Heavenly Father. To know Him is life eternal, and there's no better way to know and love Him than by looking to the example of His Son, Jesus Christ.

#79 - Happy Summer! In a recent post, I read "Success is becoming the kind of man your ancestors would be proud of, and your descendants will be grateful for." Today we talk about how that legacy, that success we yearn for, is found nowhere better than in the footsteps of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

#78 - In this institute lesson, Jason provides an example of The Book of Mormon expounding upon one of the parables from the New Testament - the Wheat and the Tares, via the story of Abinadi and King Noah. Truly, The Book of Mormon was written for our day.

#77 - "Black clouds may also form in our lives, which can blind us to God’s light and even cause us to question if that light exists for us anymore. Some of those clouds are of depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental and emotional affliction. They can distort the way we perceive ourselves, others, and even God. They affect women and men of all ages in all corners of the world," said Sister Reyna I. Aburto.

She continued, "As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have made a covenant with God that we “are willing to bear one another’s burdens” and “to mourn with those that mourn.” This may include becoming informed about emotional illnesses, finding resources that can help address these struggles, and ultimately bringing ourselves and others to Christ, who is the Master Healer."

In this episode, Jason & Allison discuss and testify of Jesus's divine empathy and how living our covenant, as described by Sister Aburto, can be the key to parting those dark clouds that hang over us, and allow The Light to shine again in our lives.

#76 - In this institute lesson, Jason's class discusses ways they have reached out to the Lord in faith, and subsequently been made whole from that action, trust, and confidence in Him. 

They also discuss King Benjamin's example of how remembering that God is great, and our own nothingness, can help us stay out of the pride cycle and lead to our greater prosperity and blessings.

#75 - "In our service in the Lord’s church we should remember that when is just as important as who, what, where, and how," said President Oaks in his 2002 BYU address, "Timing." "The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith means trust— trust in God’s will, trust in His way of doing things, and trust in His timetable. We should not try to impose our timetable on His," he said. 

We know this can be hard. Trusting not only in His will but His timing for you and your life can be exhausting. But we testify that it works out,  much better than you can imagine, as we keep ourselves fastened to Him, His covenants, commandments, and yes, even his will  -- and especially His timing. In this episode, we share some of our own experiences with His timing and we hope it blesses those who need to "hear Him in the wait."
