Hidden Wisdom

Meghan is joined by Julie Hawkes to discuss scriptural principles and examples for combatting anxiety. Specific discussion points include: 

• Zeezrom's battle with anxiety
• Promises and patterns for combatting mental health issues
• Challenging our assumptions
• Using language to elicit Christ's Atonement, or Satan
• End-Times anxiety scenario: Food Shortages

Julie Hawkes is the creator and owner of Life Balance, and is a mentor, speaker, and energy coach. 

She has helped hundreds of people reconnect to their hearts and God, have better relationships, manage anxiety and depression, and reach their goals.  She is passionate about what she does and gets so excited about the changes clients see in just a short time after working with her. 

Julie's deep love of the scriptures began 20 years ago when she got called to be the gospel doctrine teacher and panicked because she didn't know or understand what she was required to teach.  When it was time to teach the Old Testament she stood in front of the class and asked them to pray for her because she felt like reading the Old Testament was like trying to read and understand Russian, and she didn't understand any of it! As she studied she learned so much and felt so much peace that it fundamentally changed her life and created a lifelong love of the scriptures and the answers that can be found within.  

On a personal note, Julie was raised in South-East Idaho and has seven children and one grandson. She met her husband at the local grocery store and was tricked into going out with him (thank heavens!). They have been married almost 31 years. She loves sushi, chocolate, and mountain biking.

During his political volunteerism, in 2012 he wrote his first novel, Not Without Mercy the Black
Death, the heart-wrenching story of a family trapped in the middle of the Black Plague in 1348.His first book became a successful amazon best-seller. Two years later he followed up with a second book called, Not Without Mercy the Passage Home. The books detail how this family stayed together and overcame the most deadly plague in world history. In 2018 he wrote a non-fiction book called Man Against Messiah, the Sanhedrin Plot Against
Jesus, becoming an Amazon best-selling book. This book details the names and lives of the
actual Sanhedrin men who engaged in the illegal trial that resulted in the crucifixion of Jesus

His new book, Return From Rysa, co-authored by Richard Nelson, became an instant best-seller, shooting to number one in its category on Amazon. The book was written as a Religious-Fantasy-Fiction that teaches the Plan of Salvation from a benevolent alien race perspective. He wrote the book to reach out to the many millennials who are leaving the Church and to help people discover that God created worlds without number, and
he placed his children on all those worlds. This Earth is where the Son of God was born, brought the Gospel, was crucified, and resurrected for ALL of God’s children on worlds without number.

On December 10th of this year, Phill will be married to his sweetheart Shaun McKinney Wright for forty years. They are the parents of seven children and grandparents of 13.

Meghan spends this episode exploring the Sign of the Times that "...many shall come in [Christ's] name, saying—I am Christ—and shall deceive many". Using four examples of antichrists from the Book of Mormon, Meghan illustrates the qualities, characteristics, and behaviors of those who set themselves up as savior-figures, and strive to purposefully supplant the role of Jesus in individual lives.

Additionally, Meghan spends time discussing the important role of the Gift of Discernment and how this vital spiritual gift can serve to help us detect deception from the adversary, and these many other antichrists.

Drake Auna joins Meghan to discuss the various patterns and symbolism that give meaning and insight to the temple. Drake shares his story of progression, beginning with scripture study and principles of seeking revelation, to repentance and forgiveness, and through the sacred hallways of our modern tabernacles. He also shares interesting perspectives on the Hawaiian culture and how traditions reflect the native heritage of reformed Hebrew/Egyptian language, and a promised "white God" who is to come from the East. Drake's deep study of symbolism, languages, and the representative pattern of "line upon line, precept upon precept" will leave listeners with lots to think about and a yearning to return to the temple and strive to see the upward-facing ladders of spiritual truths there to teach us how to become like our Savior. 

Drake Auna is originally from Hawaii. He grew up a member of the Church and one of eight total children in his family. Drake served a full-time mission in Sacramento, CA speaking Spanish before returning to BYU-Hawaii. He studied Social Work in school before pursuing his career as an electrician. He also owns his own entertainment company in Utah where he and his family are now based. Drake met his wife Kylie at BYU-Hawaii and the couple are expecting their third child, a son to join their two daughters, later in May.

Marti Grant joins us for a deep and impactful discussion about finding your personal mission, especially through the challenges God grants you. Meghan and Marti discuss principles related to how to find your mission, or the work the Lord would have you perform to bless and benefit your own life, and the lives of those around you. They draw on personal experiences to illustrate how your experiences, interests, education, and inspiration can point you in the direction God would have you go.

Marti and Meghan also dive deep into the power our covenants can offer us in performing meaningful work. What does it mean to sacrifice? What does it mean to consecrate? When does being "anxiously engaged" turn into consecration? What blessings do we sometimes leave on the table by not allowing the Lord to make more of us than we are by ourselves? All this and more in this thought-provoking episode!

Marti Grant helps women improve their mental health and emotional resilience so that they can create joy for themselves no matter what life brings them. As a wife and mother of three, she likes to joke that she runs a residential treatment center for emerging adults.  The very first thing she remembers having a testimony of is that God answers prayers, and that connection with Heavenly Father is what has carried her through all of her trials. You can find Marti at 5minutesbetter.com and on Instagram @marti.grant.

Julie Cluff joins us for this episode all about healing from experiences of grief, and finding the hope that is to be had through Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Julie shares her deeply poignant experiences of loss including the death of her brother by suicide, divorce, and losing her two youngest children in a rollover car crash on Mother's Day in 2007. She illustrates her personal process of healing, including the miracles offered to her both before and after each instance of loss and pain.

Julie has exhibited discipleship throughout the experiences, and especially as she followed impressions to use her grief to benefit and bless others in similar situations. We discuss what tools and practices are available to those going through such heart-wrenching challenges. We rejoice in the doctrines of pre-mortality, the resurrection, and a God who does not punish, but who only blesses.

In an age when "mens hearts [are] failing them", this episode will help prepare all of us who may be called to pass through sorrow, as we focus heavily on our source of healing, truth, and relief, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
