    Change can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes to things we hold sacred.

  • Blessed Are The Peacemakers

    In a world filled with division, anger, and constant conflict, Christ’s call to be peacemakers is more important than ever. In this episode of Built By Him, we discuss what it truly means to be a peacemaker—not just avoiding conflict, but actively bringing light, understanding, and Christlike love into difficult situations.

    Drawing from scripture, personal experiences, and the teachings of Jesus, we explore how peacemaking begins in our homes, relationships, communities, and even within our own hearts. Whether you're facing disagreement, struggling to forgive, or looking for ways to better represent Christ, this conversation is a reminder that real strength is found in choosing peace.

    "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." — Matthew 5:9.

  • Patriarchal Blessings: What Is This Personal Letter From God?

    In this episode of Built By Him, we explore the meaning, purpose, and personal impact of patriarchal blessings within the LDS faith. Often described as a “personal scripture,” these blessings can offer guidance, identity, and a sense of divine direction—but they can also raise questions about interpretation, timing, and expectations.

    We talk about what a patriarchal blessing is, how members prepare to receive one, and the role it plays over a lifetime. We also dive into the deeper themes—lineage, promises, and spiritual responsibility—and discuss how to approach these blessings with faith while staying grounded in real-life experiences.

    Whether you’ve already received your blessing, are considering it, or are simply curious about this aspect of Latter-day Saint belief, this conversation is about seeking understanding and recognizing how God works individually with each of us.

  • What is BYUtv's new show about HXP?

    In this episode, we talk about BYUtv’s new series Leap of Faith and why the stories behind it are so meaningful to us.

We share some of our favorite moments from the show, talk about people we know who were part of the experience, and reflect on how faith, service, and human connection can change lives. It’s a conversation about growth, perspective, and what can happen when people choose to take a leap of faith.

  • A Conversation with Anna Hoole: What If Conference Was Meant Just for You?

    General Conference just wrapped and Anna Hoole and the cohosts have thoughts. In this episode, they share their personal favorite talks, the moments that actually stopped them in their tracks, and what the Prophet said that they're still sitting with. When you step back and think about it, living in a time where Apostles of Jesus Christ speak directly to us twice a year is kind of unreal. This is an episode you don't want to miss!

  • Interviewing Talon Savage: Is this Me or the Spirit?

    That quiet nudge you felt and then talked yourself out of? That's exactly what this episode is about.
    Talon Savage, leader at HXP and host of his own podcast, joins us to break down a simple but powerful principle: the first thought is from God, and the second thought is the adversary planting doubt. Promptings come as impressions and feelings to do good, and they require action. The more you go for it without overthinking, the clearer that voice becomes. Stop second-guessing and start moving.
