Chocolate Cake Bytes

In this episode, Fan Favorites (or Family Favorites?) Annette and Allison join in the discussion about Personal Revelation.

If I have received personal revelation, what should I do with that information or knowledge?

What is my obligation to share, encourage, or force you to follow my path?

How do I know it's an answer from God...or if it's just my own feelings, hopes, desires, or anxieties?

Join our conversation.

Mosiah 3:19 says the Natural man is an enemy to God. 

What does that mean? What is a "natural man?"

I have no idea, but I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Maybe my ramblings will resonate with you. Maybe not. Give it a listen and let me know.

Annette is back! In this week's conversation, we start by considering how helpful it is to push others (and what about ourselves?) to just go through the motions.

I remember hearing, "If we can just get him on a mission, he'll be fine," or "if we can get her to graduate Seminary, she'll gain a testimony."

Does encouraging (or forcing, in some cases) the "right" behavior create the end result we want?

Shawn Rapier is the host of the amazing Latter-day Lives podcast (http://latterdaylives.com) and is our co-host this week!

What if someone you love has lost interest in the Church? What does that mean for you and for your "Eternal Family?"

Shawn has eight(!) children, who all have varying levels of interest and activity in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He shares some comforting perspectives on how to navigate the often-difficult life journey when someone we love decides they're not as committed to the Church as we might think they should be.

Seventeen episodes in, and I've learned a few things. And I've re-learned some things. And a few things have been reinforced.

In this week's episode, I share a few random thoughts about how the conversations we've shared over the past couple of months have shaped my own perspective about Gospel Living.

How do we reconcile the  need to establish our own personal boundaries (and respect the boundaries of others) with the idea of revelation and inspiration in extending and accepting callings, assignments, and the like?

New co-host and favorite sister-in-law Cindy joins old co-host and favorite daughter Allison in discussing how we can overlay boundaries with our duties as members of the Church.

What should we do when someone's choices have some impact--from negligible to immense?

How you dress might affect other people's thoughts.  What is your obligation when it comes to "modesty?"

How you interpret counsel from prophets or scripture might make me uncomfortable. So I should tell you when you're wrong...shouldn't I?

This week we talk with Annette, the most-referenced person on the podcast, and the oldest of Ken's sisters. She has some opinions that might make you smile, or cringe, or maybe even think.

Thanks, Ryan for the rating and review!  

Sometimes I think, "What if I'm wrong about what I think?"

I might be. There are people who disagree with me on nearly every subject.

But what I mean is what if I'm wrong about how to go about getting answers to prayers? Or about how to pray? How to recognize revelation...or even my life's purpose?

This week, I share some ideas where I wonder if I'm thinking about things backwards.

"That's a good question." 

What if in your Sunday School lessons, personal study, or family discussions, you could ask, ponder, and answer questions that made you think and feel deeply?

Questions that require something beyond "Go to church, say your prayers, read your scriptures?"

Ken, Mark, and Allison talk about a couple of ways that might help deepen your own gospel insights.

We are often curious about the details of someone's life:
   * When is the newlywed couple going to have kids?
   * Why is the recently-departed missionary home already?
   * Why did that family have ANOTHER baby? Don't they know it's time to stop?
   * That couple has been dating for a few weeks now. Are wedding bells in their future?

And more.

Our natural curiosity can prompt questions to (and about) people in our circles, but many times, fielding those questions is painful. And, do we REALLY have to know?

Join us for another conversation with Mark!
