Join me on this episode as I interview my sister Kristi Bennett. She is throwing a Christian women's conference on May 23, 2020 in Raleigh, NC. We chat about her conference, what inspired her to do it, and what it truly means to go ALL IN with God on your everyday life!

Did you know that taking responsibility is part of agency? They go hand in hand. In this episode I discuss what that relationship looks like and how choosing to become 100% responsible actually gives us MORE complete use of our agency, not less. Go ahead and take a listen and let me know what you think!

I think we all could stand to be a little bit more selfish in our lives. Because if we don't care for ourselves first, we won't have anything to give to anyone else. Join me on this episode as I talk about what that looks like and give examples!

When you feel emotional pain what do you do? Get mad at God? Try to resist it? Do you know that emotional pain is supposed to be there? That pain is actually a good thing because it tells us something is wrong so that we can fix it? Yeah. It's a hard truth. Let's talk about it.

There is a higher level of being. A higher level of experiencing God. There are things we are doing in our lives that are keeping us asleep and preventing us from truly living the life that God wants us to live. Wake up, y'all! And let's go!

SHOW NOTES: 

Most of my material was based on this talk by Elder Uchtdorf from the April 2014 General Conference.

I love restoring furniture. I can take something lost and old and beat up and damaged and make it completely new-maybe even better than it was before. But it is a process. And we are in the middle of the process of the restoration of the gospel of Christ! 

In this episode I break down President Nelson's 2020 invitation to be a part of the Restoration. And let me tell y'all, it is exciting! I have some concrete, actionable ideas and some incredible insights so don't miss this one!

Have you ever set a resolution to read your scriptures every day for the rest of the year? Me too. Have you ever done it? Me either. I think I know why. And how to help you come up with a way to make better resolutions this year. 2020 could be the best year yet!

SHOW NOTES: 

Here is the talk by Elder Uchtdorf from 2016! It is titled "Of Regrets and Resolutions" and it is definitely worth the read!

I put 2 challenges at the end of the podcast! They are: 

1: Create 1 new spiritual resolution that you've NEVER come up with before

2: Reevaluate your resolutions and determine WHY you want to do them!

Don't forget to leave me a review on iTunes and let me know what your resolutions are for 2020!

What does it mean to worship? What does that even look like? And why does it even matter if we do it? Let's talk about it 

SHOW NOTES: 

Most of my core thoughts were from this talk by Bishop Davies entitled "The Blessings of Worship" from the October 2016 General Conference. It is a beautiful talk and you should go read it! 

Watch the newest LDS Nativity video here! Wait until you see how the wise men worship! It is worth waiting for!

Someone once told me that I had a "little" miracle. But I don't believe in those. And neither should you. Miracles are not defined by size. They're defined by God. Yeah. It's as amazing as it sounds. 

Have you ever thought, "I'm just a stay at home mom" or "I'm just a regular guy" or "Just one time won't hurt"? Well, "just" a stay at home mom raised Christ. And "just" a regular guy translated the Book of Mormon. And Lot's wife looked back "just" one time.
