🎙️ Welcome back to another mini-episode of Two E’s in a Pod!

We’re keeping things honest, real, and rooted in the scriptures — just Ellis and Eddie diving into the kinds of questions young adults are actually asking and how the gospel meets us there.

This week, we’re in Doctrine & Covenants 77–80, and we’re talking about everything from faith and finances to stewardship, purpose, and Christlike welfare. What does it mean to be wealthy in God's eyes? Why does the Lord care about your job search, major, or bank account? And how do you follow revelation when every path seems uncertain?

 

This episode explores the power of asking sincere questions and trusting that God will answer. In Doctrine and Covenants 77–80, Joseph Smith models what it means to seek revelation with faith — and how the Lord responds with love, guidance, and trust.

Come study these scriptures with young adult Kennedy Casto, our hosts Ellis and Eddie, and Katie Young, a teacher at the Tempe Institute of Religion at ASU. Together, they reflect on how questions lead to revelation, what it means to live a consecrated life, and how God’s “It mattereth not” moments are really invitations to choose with confidence, knowing He’s walking with us.

🎙️ Welcome to the very first mini-episode of Two E’s in a Pod! We’re adding something new to the Come Study With Me lineup — short, honest, and uplifting conversations just between our hosts, Ellis and Eddie, that are focused on questions young adults are asking and how the scriptures might answer them.

This week, Ellis and Eddie dive into Doctrine & Covenants 76 — The Vision received by Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon in 1832. This revelation didn’t just expand our view of heaven — it reshaped our understanding of God’s love, mercy, and the eternal potential of every soul.

Along the way, we talk about how to catch the Lord’s vision for your life, what it really means to seek revelation, and how Christ is always at the center of the plan — even when life gets hard.

 

This episode dives into “The Vision” received by Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon in 1832—a breathtaking revelation that redefined heaven, revealed God’s expansive mercy, and offered a more hopeful view of eternity than the world had ever imagined. Come study these scriptures with young adult Christopher Allen, our hosts Ellis and Eddie, and Michel Safuan, the Director of Seminaries and Institutes in Brazil.

 

Life moves in seasons—and so does discipleship.   In this episode, we explore Doctrine and Covenants 71–75 and what it means to trust the Lord’s timing when the plan isn’t clear. We talk about spiritual seasons, why the Lord sometimes doesn’t give specifics, and how He still shows up with promises, power, and peace.    We also dig into what stewardship really means, how consecration sanctifies what we offer, and why God cares more about faithfulness than flawless results.   An honest conversation about purpose, patience, and being transformed by daily discipleship. Featuring host Ellis Sondrup with Bella Dushku, Douglas, and Brother Christopher Johnson of the St. George Institute.

In this episode, we explore the pivotal years when Joseph Smith received and prepared to publish foundational revelations—culminating in the Book of Commandments, a landmark moment in making God's word widely available to the early Saints. Come study these scriptures with young adults Brett Anderson, Austin Pence our host Ellis Sondrup, and guest expert Travis Searle, a BYU Religion Professor.

 

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things God asks of us—and He asks it of everyone.   In this episode, we dive into Doctrine and Covenants 64–66 and talk honestly about what it means to forgive “all men,” why it’s more about healing than forgetting, and how God meets us in the messiness of real life. We also explore how small, faithful efforts build great things and how the Lord speaks personally—even in chaos.   A powerful conversation on grace, growth, and letting go. Featuring host Ellis Sondrup with Isa Patey, Abram Magleby, and Brother Chad Olson, Director of the St. George Institute and licensed marriage and family therapist.
