There's lots of people in life that have expectations of us such as teachers, bosses, parents. At times, those expectations may feel like to much pressure to handle. One of the biggest pressures we face may be the expectations that God has for us. We'll discuss how Jesus did not give us high expectations (also known as His "higher law") to give us stress but instead to help us reach for true joy.

Sometimes, God will tell us what we should do and other times what we should not do. However, other times He won't answer us right away and wants us to wait. One of the most difficult parts about waiting is uncertainty, which can make waiting patiently difficult. We'll discuss how God uses the time we are waiting to teach us valuable lessons.

Sometimes it's hard to accept the fact that God chastens us for our mistakes. We want God to love us for who we are and leave us as that. However, the truth is that God truly loves us as we are but loves us too much to leave us as we are. We'll discuss how God chastens us because He loves us and wants us to be the happiest we can be.

Latter-day Saints are one of the few denominations of Christianity that believe in modern prophets. Many people question why we need them if religion is about a relationship between just you and God. We'll discuss the role of prophets through scriptural history and discuss why they are still needed today.

Everyone defines success differently. Some think it's in wealth, others think it's in a career, and others may think it's in a family. Wherever you find success, you might also find it difficult to obtain. We'll discuss how coming closer to God will help us find success in all aspects of our lives, even the non-religious parts.

The world seems to be growing more spiritually dangerous. It's filled with temptations and distractions that could lead us to sadness if we are tricked by them. Learning from the war chapters of the Book of Mormon, we'll discuss the valiant attributes of the stripling warriors and how we can apply the same to our lives.

Many Christians may wonder why the scriptures talk about war if it's a book about loving others and coming closer to God. Specifically in the Book of Mormon, a large portion is dedicated to war. This episode features guest KC Knoop who served in the US military for 20 years and offers a unique perspective on being a Christian in the military. We'll discuss how no matter the situation, Christians can always stick by their beliefs in Christ.

Shame is a generally misunderstood topic. While guilt is feeling bad for your actions, shame is feeling bad about yourself. We may feel shame because of our past mistakes, unmet expectations, or comments from others. Whatever our reason may be, God wants us to overcome our shame. We'll discuss how embracing our divine heritage will help overcome our shame.

We'll discuss the scripture that inspired our podcast. We feel that sometimes we think of real life and religion as two separate worlds and tend to live and then look to God. We'll discuss the importance of looking to God first then living and the importance of centering our lives on Jesus Christ.
