Peacemaking seems to mean more than merely avoiding contention. In this episode we chat about our natural tendency to choose either “fight or flight” when we encounter conflict, and a pattern of choosing a morally creative third option instead. 

The Savior and church leaders have warned about foolishness, but why? Is foolishness really a big deal? In this chat we wrestle with what foolishness means, what it looks like, why it’s an important topic, and how to gain the gift of true wisdom. 

D&C 19 is one of the most fascinating passages we have in scripture. We use that section as the backdrop for this episode as we wrestle with questions about repentance, God’s nature, Christ’s suffering, Eternal punishment and whether or not God really “punishes” sinners. 

Who, when, and where to marry are some of the most important decisions we’ll ever make. In this chat we wrestle with principles related to dating, marriage, revelation and agency. 

In this episode we chat about what we know from scripture about temple sealings and how to make a marriage truly celestial. 

Anciently, and in our day, the temple symbolically represents a journey back into God’s presence. In this chat we discuss The Day of Atonement, symbols of the tabernacle, praying with uplifted hands, conversing with the Lord at the veil, and being encircled in His arms.  

In this episode we chat about the sacred, ritual clothing worn by temple priests and what it really meant to be “consecrated” in their service. Hopefully this conversation unlocks powerful truths for those who have been endowed in the House of the Lord, and excites those who are preparing for that experience. 

In this chat we explore the initiation rites of old testament priests in an effort to better understand the washing, anointing, and clothing rituals in the modern-day temple endowment. 

One of the most profound, yet misunderstood, blessings of the Savior’s gospel is the Temple Endowment. In this episode we chat about different themes that can dramatically increase our understanding and appreciation of the endowment ceremony. 

Could something we see as a curse actually be a gift? Can we develop spiritual gifts that are not natural to us? Are spiritual gifts different than talents? These are some of the questions we wrestle with as we explore the topic of spiritual gifts.
