enLIGHTen

Some days parenting feels like planting seeds...in winter. You pray. You teach. You sing. And nothing blooms. At least not yet…

President Henry B. Eyring reminded us that God magnifies small, faithful efforts in the home. And Tracy Y. Browning taught that Primary music can anchor truth deep in a child’s heart.

Persistence in prayer.

These are the light calling forth growth even when you can’t see it.

This week on enLIGHTen Gathering, I had the gift of sitting down with Tammy Uzelac Hall to talk about something that feels simple… but is often so hard to live: Trusting the hand of the Lord. What does it really mean to trust Him when prayers feel unanswered when the path feels unclear when the outcome isn’t what we expected. One of my favorite parts of this conversation was reflecting on the word AMEN. In Hebrew, it means to trust… to rely upon… to make firm. Every time we say amen, we are choosing trust. Choosing to place our lives in His hands. If you need a reminder that He sees you, guides you, and is working for your good — even now — this episode is for you. 🤍

Prayer is more than words 

This week on enLIGHTen  we talked about The Ministry of Angels and the power we have to invite that help

Because belief opens doors, prayer invites heaven and faith gives angels an invitation to enter our lives!

(Corrected Audio) - Today on the enLIGHTen Gathering, I sat down with Brad Wilcox @bradrwilcox 🤍 . We reflected on Brad’s wonderful reminder: “Don’t let the world change you when you were born to change the world.” . But to change the world we must be changed and transformed by the challenges we overcome by our covenants and our connection with God by Christ . Covenants don’t remove the struggle They transform it into growth . They aren’t about checking boxes. They’re about belonging to Him Becoming like Him And walking with God, day by day. ✨

Today’s conversation rested in the quiet power of the Shepherd. . The rod that protects. The staff that guides. Both symbols of love—not fear . Psalm 23 reminds us we are never walking alone. And as Elder Holland taught, Jesus never gives up on us— not in valleys, not in uncertainty, not in the moments we feel most unseen . Because He is the Good Shepherd. . Because He is “I Am He.” . We can trust Him with everything we face. . Even here. Even now. 🤍

Today's conversation felt like a sacred pause in the middle of a busy season 🤍 . This week on enLIGHTen I sat down with BYU Professor Eric Huntsman to talk about worship, tradition, and Advent— and how the season leading up to Christmas invites us to slow down and revisit the many witnesses of Christ’s birth . From prophets and angels to shepherds and seekers, Advent helps us remember that Christ did not come quietly or alone . These traditions don’t replace faith— they shape it, guiding our hearts to worship more intentionally as we celebrate His coming and look forward to His return.
