FAMILY 🤍 Of all the things we build in this life, few matter more than the relationships we build with one another. And they take work. They take forgiveness. Time. Teaching. Listening. Putting down our phones. Showing up again and again. This week on enLIGHTen, Megan from @defense_of_family joined me for a beautiful conversation about why family is worth fighting for. We talked about the prophetic power of The Family: A Proclamation to the World, the influence of parents and grandparents, the strength that comes through our ancestors and the temple, and the hope Jesus Christ gives us when our families don't look exactly as we hoped they would. One thought has stayed with me: Today is not eternity. God sees beyond the struggle we're experiencing right now. He sees generations. He sees what came before us and what can come after us. And through Jesus Christ, He is still working in our families—even when we can't yet see how the story will end. Family really is God's masterpiece. So put down the phone. Make the call. Sit around the table. Tell the stories. Say you're sorry. Go to the temple. Love the people God has placed in your life. Fight for what lasts forever.

CONFIDENCE.

The world teaches us to "believe in ourselves.

When Elisha declared, "They that be with us are more than they that be with them," nothing about the visible circumstances had changed. But heaven was already present.

This week, my son London Timothy @london_timothy joined me as we talked about ancestors & angels - courage & covenants along with Elder Holland's unforgettable message Cast Not Away Therefore Thy Confidence,

If you've been needing courage lately I hope this conversation reminds you: You are never fighting alone.

This week we explored what it truly means to Shine Not so much to draw attention to ourselves— but to reflect Jesus Christ . Jason Paul @latterdailysaints reminded us that disciples are like the glass on an overhead projector . The glass isn't the source of the light— it simply allows Christ's light to be seen more clearly . Our calling isn't to become the light . It's to let His light pass through us . Brooke Johnson @whyiloveamerica Shared how gratitude for God, America's founding, and those who sacrificed before us gives us courage to preserve freedom for the next generation . Freedom isn't something to admire from afar— it's something to protect, teach, and live . Together we discovered that shining begins with personal repentance, grows through gratitude, and becomes brighter as we courageously stand for truth

What if belief is more than simply agreeing with truth? What if belief is trusting Jesus enough to step onto the bridge before you know how everything will work out? Throughout history—from Abraham to Moses, from the Pilgrims to the pioneers, from Alma's people to our own families—God has always invited His children to walk forward by faith before they could see the destination. Jesus never promised a life without storms. He promised Himself. As Alma taught, when people turned to Christ, "their souls were illuminated by the light of the everlasting word" and "their souls did expand." Belief changes us. It loosens chains. It enlarges hearts. It fills darkness with light. If you're carrying something heavy today... Hear His invitation: "Be not afraid, only believe."

This week I got to visit with

Today I sat down with Judge James Jones to talk about The Constitution and what it means to Stand Fast in Liberty.

To stand fast means to hold your ground when truth is challenged, to remain faithful when culture shifts, and to trust Christ enough to keep standing even when you're standing alone .

Freedom has always required faithful people.

May we stand fast in the liberty Christ has given us and use that freedom to build His kingdom with courage, conviction, and love.

.

May we never forget the One who gives us both agency and the hope to become more through Him

What if the mountain in front of you isn't moved all at once. But one seed at a time. Today on enLIGHTen, my dear friend Rebecca Frederick reminded us that faith is a superpower. Not because faith is always big. But because God magnifies even the smallest offering. A prayer. A scripture. A choice to trust. A desire to believe. A seed. By small and simple things are great things brought to pass. Sometimes the miracle isn't that the mountain disappears. Sometimes the miracle is that Christ gives us strength to keep climbing. Don't underestimate today's small act of faith. God grows mustard seeds into sheltering trees. When we receive His grace with trust He Grows us too!

What does it look like to draw on God's power in your daily life? This week on enLIGHTen, I sat down with Sarah Allen for a beautiful conversation about faith, covenants, healing, and the strength that comes through Jesus Christ. We talked about how keeping our covenants gives us access to God's power. Not because life becomes easy. But because we never have to carry our burdens alone. Again and again, we see that when we reach for Christ, He reaches back. Through the Holy Ghost. Through ministering angels. Through tender mercies. And through the peace that only He can give. If you've ever wondered how to feel more of the Savior's strength in your life, this episode is for you.

Faith through the fog looks a lot like Choosing to take the next step Even when you can’t see the whole path . This week on enLIGHTen I sat down with the wonderful Maria Freeman and talked about what it means to trust Christ when life feels uncertain . We talked about foggy roads unexpected detours dreams that take years to unfold and a Savior who never leaves our side . One truth kept coming back again and again . Jesus is the way . Not just the destination but the guide beside us every step of the journey . Even when we cannot see the shore Even when the road feels unfamiliar Even when the answers have not come yet . He knows the path because He has already walked it . If you are walking through a foggy season right now this conversation is for you
