56 Episode – And a Child Shall Lead Them

Some of my greatest lessons have come from children. We are told, in the scriptures, to become as a little child. Why is that? And what does that mean?

55 Episode – King Benjamin – Lessons on Leadership

King Benjamin has some great reasoning behind why he chose to rule the way he did. And these can easily be applied to leadership, and also to parenting.

54 Episode – Peace Does Not Mean Easy

I think we sometimes confuse peace with ease or comfort. Because something is hard or uncomfortable we decide to leave it behind. “It’s not for me.” That’s not what the Savior meant when He said, “My peace I give unto you” (John 14:27).

48 Episode – Comparing Miracles

Neither Moses nor Enoch was a very good public speaker. Yet the Lord chose both of them to lead large groups of people. And He provided a way for both of them to accomplish their tasks. He provided two very different ways for them to accomplish their tasks. Why didn’t they receive the same miracle?
