The title for this episode might sound like an oxymoron, but in the D&C, Jesus Christ connects fasting with joy and rejoicing. So how do we fast in a more joyful way—in the Lord’s way? And could true fasting be the key to overcoming any bad habit, addiction, or obstacle in our life? 

Satan is not our favorite thing to talk about, but it is important that we understand who he is, how he works, and what his true desires are. In today’s chat we wrestle with the differences between our Accuser (Satan) and our Advocate (Jesus Christ). 

We believe that the Godhead is comprised of three, distinct individuals, but sometimes it is hard to know how to connect with each of Them. Today we wrestle with ways we can experience blessings from each member of the Godhead. 

The Priesthood is bigger, better than either of us realize. In today’s chat, we share some things we are learning about the Priesthood, and things we are still trying to understand.

Why does God choose to speak in symbols? In this episode we wrestle with symbolism; how to unlock it, and what happens when we embrace it. 

We talk a lot about aligning with and submitting to God’s will, but what does “God’s will” even mean? And what if His will has more to do with His heart and His desires than it does to some preset, master plan He has for our lives? Those are some of the questions we wrestle with in this episode. 

In the previous episode we wrestled with the idea of control. In today’s chat we continue that conversation and try to better understand what it really means to “be submissive.” Maybe a key to embracing submissiveness is to practice the principle of “watch and pray” more. 

So much of life is out of our control, and our desire to remain in control can often cause stress and frustration. In this chat we wrestle with what is in our control, what is not, and how to trust God more. 

So much of the gospel of Jesus Christ is about developing personal, and individual relationships with God and Jesus Christ, but can we actually develop those relationships isolated from other people? Today we wrestle with the idea of communal salvation and why it is so important that we gather, struggle, and learn together in groups. 

In today’s chat we share favorite insights from both the Bible and the Book of Mormon about Christmas and what it means for us personally. We talk about trees, fish, stars, and a baby who changed all of our lives forever.
