This week, we’re talking about the power of words— how Christ Himself is the Word, how through words God spoke light into being, and how our own words still hold creative power. . With Yarley Varley and her sweet daughter, Taytum we explored how words can heal or harm, build faith or fear, and how choosing truth and kindness aligns our voice with His. . Heaven and earth may pass away, but God’s words remain. They shape eternity— and when we speak with love, so do ours. . May we remember today that every word carries light— and the closer our words echo His, the brighter our lives will shine.

This week, we’re talking about what it means to honor—both the parents who gave us life on earth, and the Heavenly Parents who gave us eternal life in spirit.

In this week’s enLIGHTen episode with my dear friend, Anna Miller we explored what it truly means to be proved and strengthened in Christ— to walk through refining seasons not alone, but with Him beside us. We talked about how His love doesn’t spare us from the fire— it stays with us in it. Every trial, every “proving,” can polish our hearts the way pressure and heat turn carbon into a diamond. Because in His hands… the proving becomes the shaping. The breaking becomes the brightening. The weight becomes the witness of His strength within us. When we let Him walk with us, He turns what feels impossible into something eternal— something brilliant. 💫 May we trust the process, embrace the proving, and let His light make us shine.

An enLIGHTen conversation with Beth Martineau @saltandhart

In today’s enLIGHTen episode, I sit down with my dear friend Beth Martineau to open our hearts to what it really means to have Christ open our eyes—

We talk about how easy it is to go through life looking but never truly seeing…

When He anoints our eyes with light,

Because SEEING through Christ isn’t about sharper sight—

He helps us notice the unseen miracles,

May we let Him open our eyes again and again,

Today, we looked deeply at God’s goodness with Brandee Sanders and her daughter Ellie  — an hour of lifting truth.

When life feels like you’re sinking, weighed down by the sea-weed of what’s gone wrong, the light of His mercy reaches in. Brother Holland reminds us: “This awe-inspiring mercy … is perfectly suited to you, designed to relieve your individual agonies and heal your particular pains.”

Too often we beat ourselves up over our imperfections, forgetting the One who made mercy for us.

But here’s the promise: Seek Him with your whole heart. Stay the course. Look to His light in His Holy House. And your soul will be buoyed beyond whatever storm you’re riding. Because you are seen. You are known. You are loved. And in Him, you will rise.

Today I got to sit down with Rachelle Chase who just returned from serving as a mission leader in Chicago. We spoke about how we can find rest even in the most crazy and trying times. God doesn't promise "comfortable." But He absolutely promises to comfort us in our afflictions, to walk with us, to lift us and sustain us beyond anything we could do alone. Because of our covenants we can trust those promises and walk in the joy of His light no matter what is going on in our lives and the world around us.

What are you trusting God with right now? 🙏✨ Today I had the honor of speaking with Sister Rebecca Fredrick, who’s serving as a mission leader in the Bogotá Colombia South Mission. She shared how moved she has felt seeing the trust these young missionaries have in their leaders. And we talked about what it really means to trust in the Lord — The shield of faith, Linking our faith together and how God takes our vulnerability and reshapes it into gratitude and power Faith isn’t something we just have — It’s something we choose to grow into. And in that growth, we come to know Jesus Christ. We feel His power.

Today I had the privilege of talking with @michelledcraig3 about the joyful transformation that is Holiness. 

Maybe holiness isn't about proving we're good enough to God... Maybe it's about surrendering our imperfect offerings — and allowing Him to make them part of Him. It doesn't happen automatically. But if we're willing, it does happen. That quiet, radiant transformation — being magnified through His light and moved by His love

Can waiting actually increase our joy? 🤔✨

It’s active pursuit —Patiently seeking Him, Speaking of Him, Staying rooted in His perfect light and goodness.

What does it feel like to be rescued by Jesus? Today Gale Teuscher and I got together to talk about the power of Christ’s Atonement — to rescue us, to lift us, to heal us and bless us.

Even in life’s storms, He fills our hearts with His peace and His joy. But it doesn’t stop there — His power fills us with capacity to:  heal, bless, lift, and to join Him in the work of The Great Rescuer!
