What happens when Latter-day Saints get together for a GAME NIGHT?? Find out as Jon and Steph play a Harry Potter/Gospel mash up game with good friends Jared & Lindsey Joyner called DUMBLEDORE OR UCHTDORF? :D We can't wait to share in the hilarity with you! Extra points if you know which book from the HP series that each Dumbledore quote comes from, or if you can name all of Uchtdorf's talks. ;) We'll give you the first one:

This episode gets real as we discuss what it is we individual believe as people. Outside of Church and doctrine, take away all the scriptures and Bible dictionary definitions, when it comes right down to it: what do we really believe?

Listen in while Jon and Steph discuss personal beliefs formed by more than just the Gosepl, and what it really looks like (and feels like) to live those beliefs on a daily basis.

We have talked about the idea of REVELATION and that Latter-day Saints believe it's possible, but how does that show up in real LIFE?? This week Jon and Steph talk about real relevant revelation happening in real-time! Try to say that three times fast. ;) As Julie B. Beck (former Relief Society General President of The Church) has said: “The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life, … It requires a conscious effort to diminish distractions, but having the Spirit of revelation makes it possible to prevail over opposition and persist in faith through difficult days and essential routine tasks. … We can feel certain that the Lord is pleased when we feel the Spirit working through us. With [personal revelation] we cannot fail; without it we cannot succeed.” (emphasis added. Excerpts from her talk, "And upon the Handmaids in Those Days Will I Pour Out My Spirit,” Ensign, May 2010, 11–12)

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." Exodus 20:8 -- yep, Latter-day Saints take the Ten Commandments pretty seriously, and the Sabbath Day is no exception! What is it like living in 2019 when you don't go shopping, out to eat, or work on Sundays?? It can be quite a challenge! But also a huge blessing. Listen in as Jon and Steph talk about our Sunday habits now, and how it was for us growing up. Does it take WORK to carve out a day of REST? You bet! Tell us all about your Sunday Funday--whether you grew up in a Christian religion or not. Is Sunday just another day of the week? Do you honor a Sabbath on another day beside Sunday? What makes it such a big deal? This is all about that LIFE ... with Latter-day Saints!

You may have heard the Christian community talk about GUILT--that feeling of responsibility for doing something wrong, of never being quite good enough, whether real or imagined. Do Latter-day Saints feel it too? Oh, you bet! This week we tackle the big "G" word, talking less about doctrinal beliefs and more about perceived experience and how we have felt it deeply affect our personal lives and our friends near and far. Can Christianity as a whole be damaging? Is it the teachings, or the culture of the people, or both? This is our longest episode yet, so strap in, get comfy, and listen in with Jon and Steph as we talk all about this LIFE as Latter-day Saints.

With a sick family at home, Jon flies solo for this short episode all about family history! You may have heard it called genealogy, or you may have heard it called that thing old people do to find more old people. But whatever it's called, family history is something of which Latter-day Saints do a lot. Whether finding long-lost relatives, learning more about personal heritage, writing your own personal history, or seeing if you can join the DAR or SAR, family history has something for everyone!

First comes LOVE, then comes MARRIAGE! (It's what brings us together today!) Now that you know all about our eternal companion interview process ;) -- see Episode 19 on dating -- join us as we jump into discussions on what Marriage means within the Church, as well as the process of ending a marriage. Is divorce ever allowed? What happens if your spouse dies? Can you be re-married again inside the temple after a dissolution of a prior covenant? There are so many layers, and we attempt to touch on them all briefly as well as sharing our own experiences with ourselves, family, and friends entering into marriage. This will definitely be expanded on in future episodes, so make sure to write to us with all your comments and questions!

Dating can be fun and confusing no matter how you approach it, and for Latter-day Saints it's even more unique! Explore the world of dating in a culture where the end goal is eternal companionship and you don't live together before marriage. You've gotta get creative when you don't drink and meet at bars, strive to only participate in wholesome entertainment, and try not to spend lots of money. ;) Hear about some of our first dating experiences, and what the standards are for youth in the church, and tell us about your best (and worst) experiences with dating! It's all about that LIFE.

What does it really mean for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be baptized? Can it be that different from other sects of Christianity? Do we still need to be performing baptism in our modern time? In this episode we explore one of the main ordinances of the gospel, discuss why it's so important to members, and talk about how baptism as a Latter-day Saint differs from other churches--including our own memories of baptism as 8-year-old children ;).

How are everyday LIFE situations (and even big milestone moments) affected when not everybody in your family agrees on one religion? In this episode we welcome Latter-day Saint wife and mom-of-three Breanna Baker to chat with us about her experiences growing up in a mixed-faith household, and how that has played a role in her adult life and raising her own family now. From daily prayers, to baptism, to serving a mission, to being married in the temple, and blessing babies in the Church, it is all intertwined with a Latter-day Saint lifestyle--which is so much more than just a Sunday practice.
