In this powerful conversation, Sharla Goettl joins us to explore how covenants with Jesus Christ give us access to real, spiritual power—power to overcome fear, stand firm in faith, and live with confidence in an increasingly uncertain world.

We talk about:
    •    What covenant power actually is (and what it’s not)
    •    How Jesus Christ transforms fear into faith
    •    Why remembering our covenants changes how we face trials
    •    How disciples of Christ can live boldly, faithfully, and with purpose

This episode is for anyone who feels stretched, weary, or searching for deeper spiritual strength—and wants to anchor their life more fully in Jesus Christ.

Travis of The Holy Rebellion joins us in remembering Jeffrey R. Holland and the impact he had in so many lives.  

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was a beloved apostle and senior leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known for his powerful testimony of Jesus Christ, his teaching ability, and his lifelong commitment to strengthening the faith of Latter-day Saints. He was born December 3, 1940, in St. George, Utah, and early in life served a full-time mission in Great Britain, an experience that shaped his devotion to missionary work and discipleship. 

Before full-time Church service, Elder Holland was deeply involved in Church education. He earned degrees in English and religious education from Brigham Young University and a master’s and Ph.D. from Yale University. He served as Dean of Religious Education, Church Commissioner of Education, and as the ninth president of BYU, where he emphasized gospel learning and helped expand educational opportunities. 

In April 1989, he was called as a General Authority Seventy. A few years later, on June 23, 1994, he was ordained a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, one of the highest governing bodies of the Church, charged with being a special witness of Jesus Christ to the world. 

As an apostle, Elder Holland’s ministry touched many globally. He frequently spoke at General Conference, sharing heartfelt sermons on Christ’s love, the power of the Atonement, and the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. In 2025, he spoke about the evidence of God’s works and testified of the Book of Mormon’s impact as a spiritual guide.

Elder Holland was set apart as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on October 14, 2025, a role in LDS Church governance that places him next in line to lead the Church under its established order of succession when the Church president passes. 

Throughout his service, members remembered him for his steadfast testimony of the Savior, his ability to lift the weary with compassionate words, and his unwavering devotion to gospel principles. His life and teachings have been a source of encouragement and dedication for countless Latter-day Saints around the world.

The Christmas Truce of 1914 happened during World War I along the Western Front, when British and German soldiers paused fighting on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. What began with simple gestures—singing carols, shouting holiday greetings across trenches, and placing candles on trees—turned into something remarkable as troops cautiously came out into “no man’s land.” Instead of bullets, they shared food, exchanged small gifts, showed pictures of family, and even played friendly soccer matches. They also used the moment to bury their dead with dignity and mourn together. It wasn’t ordered by generals or governments; it was an act of simple human decency from ordinary soldiers tired of violence. Though the war soon resumed and such truces were discouraged afterward, the event stands as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, people can choose peace, compassion, and brotherhood.

Have you been called to a proselyting mission and been reassigned to a service mission?  Have you had to come home early because of complications you didn't expect.  Have you had a son or daughter experience this?  

For Elder Dalton Howell, an unexpected turn in serving The Lord would not deter him from continuing his service as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  

We sit down with Elder Howell and discuss the trials of having to come home from his mission due to medical conditions but still choosing to serve.  

Elder Howell talks about his decision to serve, preparing for his call, receiving the call, leaving, and then being reassigned to his home ward.  

He is grateful for close friends and cousins that have helped him find the positive in the situation and understanding that even though it's not what he wanted, he is still serving.

In this episode of Saints in the South, we welcome a special guest — a devoted Southern Baptist — to join us for an open and genuine discussion about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Mormon faith, doctrine, and beliefs. This conversation opens the door for mutual understanding, honest dialogue, and unity among followers of Jesus Christ.

Together, we explore thought-provoking questions such as:

Are Mormons Christian?

Do Mormons still practice polygamy?

What is heaven, and what are the three degrees of glory?

What is baptism for the dead?

Once saved, are you always saved?
...and more!

Our goal isn’t to debate, but to build bridges of faith — to discuss both our common beliefs and meaningful differences with love, respect, and open hearts. We believe that through understanding and conversation, all Christians can come together under the banner of Jesus Christ for a greater good.

🎙️ Join the conversation, strengthen your faith, and keep on striving!

In this episode, Jackson and Kenny talk with published author, respiratory therapist, father, and Latter-day Saint, Jeff Borders!  We discuss his book, "The Antichrist Playbook"... Do you have children or young adults? If so, you NEED this book!  Jeff breaks down the methods that the various 'antichrists' in the Book of Mormon used to lead people away from the Savior, and how Satan uses these same strategies in the world today to lead people away from the truth of God.
