You know when you pray...and the heavens seem silent?

You're in good company.

Enos was eventually told by the Lord he would get whatever he asked for.

What would it be like to have that kind of access to the blessings of heaven?

But, Enos didn't start there.

He started on his knees, with lots of problems and weaknesses....and heard nothing but silence when he prayed.

So, what happened?

How did it change?

In this episode, I talk about Enos' struggle with the Lord and how it relates to the struggles every single one of us go through.

I talk about how those answers came and what we all should know about those times answers don't come.

I worry about my kids. I try not to, but that human brain of mine does it anyway.

I notice when my kids feel weighed down.

I notice when they are irritable (it's hard to miss),

I notice when they have doubts.

And I want to help.

Jacob felt the same way about his people.

He noticed they were starting to struggle.

So, he taught truth...

and THEN he shared a story.

I've heard this story a dozen times,

but I always read it from the perspective of Heavenly Father doing whatever it takes to help and save his children.

That's all true.

But, as I ready the story this time,

I looked for what heaven wants me to see as a parent.

And, my friend,

I will never ready this story the same way again.

It is absolutely beautiful.

I see my role as a parent more clearly.

I see 3 vital things I can do when my kids struggle.

Most importantly, I learned WHY HEAVEN LOVES THE ICKY PARTS OF LIFE...and how I, as a parent, can too.

Oh, how I love this parable now.

I'm so excited to share it with you!

Anxiety is an uninvited part of my life.

Apparently, it was for Jacob, too.

And yet, he was an incredible leader with amazing faith.

How did he do it?Even when he worried?In this episode, I talk about what Jacob worried about. It's the same things we often worry about as parents.

I also talk about what he did to continue living his mission, serve the people he loved, and not get frozen by worry.

I learned some powerful insights from his example.

If you've every worried about someone you love, you'll love this episode.

I hope this episode helps you love your life, live your mission, and raise kids who do the same!

If you've ever shed tears over your kids, you're in good company.

As parents, we want so much for our kids to be happy, successful, and to have faith.

But sometimes, they struggle.

In this week's episode, I share 3 simple tips Nephi gives for helping our kids not push away from the gospel...and helping them come to know Jesus.

After all, if they know Him,

our job is a whole lot easier.

They learn what they are most likely to do when...so that they can defend themselves and win.

Life is no different.

Ok, so it actually is different...because the stakes are so much higher.

But the same principal applies.

If you want to win, it's good to know what you're up against- and have a good defensive plan.

In this week's podcast, I share Satan's Gameplan - as described by Nephi.

He saw what would happen to his people and how Satan would lead them to dwindle in unbelief. 

That's like seeing the video of a game before it ever happens. 

Gold. 

And just like a sports team, Satan uses his favorite plays over and over again.

He used them on the Nephites, and he will use them on you and your kids.

Only, you'll see him coming - and know what to do- because Nephi gave you a sneak peek into his playbook.

Nephi knew it. And so, he copied several of the writing of Isaiah into his writings.

But what do they all mean?

They speak of our day. So do the promises they contain.

In this week's episode, I talk about some of those prophesies and promises. I also talk about very similar words given to us in a recent general conference. The words are written for us, and the promises are beautiful!

You hate being wrong.

And messing up. 

And yet, we all do it every day. 

And sometimes, it's the same mistake over and over again. 

We criticize our spouse or get too busy to do the most important things. 

When we talk about repentance and forgiveness, we know we can be forgiven when we change. 

But what if you can't make yourself change?

What if you want to, but you just keep doing those same little things you wish you could stop? 

In this week's episode, I talk about the chains of hell.

We all experience them.

They hold us back in one way or another.

Sometimes it's little things, and sometimes it's not. 

Either way, chains stop us. 

I share a simple, 3-step process that can help you break those chains and finally feel free.

Free to feel joy and be all God made you to be!

Nephi struggled with feeling enough.

At one point or another, we all do.

He had been shown visions, talked with angels, witnessed miracles.

And yet,

He still fell short of who he wanted to be.

And, in the moment of sorrow after losing his dad, the feelings overwhelmed him.

He couldn't make himself do what he knew he should do.

He was frustrated with where and who he was.

He cried out, "O wretched man that I am!"

In this episode, I talk about Nephi's struggle to feel "enough." I talk about the key step Nephi took to escape the overwhelm and despair he felt - and how that same step can rescue us from our greatest moments of discouragement or despair.

Nephi called down the power of heaven. You can, too.

Whether you are watching this to supplement your study of the Come, Follow Me weekly scriptures, or you are just wanting to strengthen yourself and your kids and teens spiritually and emotionally, I hope you love this episode!
