June 02, 2023 Keith Tanner Ep. 698 The Cultural Hall
Keith Tanner was a Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Specialist for 7 years and Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for 10 years. He has a B.S. in Computer Science from Westminster College and has been a computer programmer/analyst for 40 years, currently working for Automatic Data Processing.
Spiritual Principles of Emergency Preparedness
#1—The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior. (Boyd K. Packer, October 1986)
#2—All things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal…. for my commandments are spiritual. (D & C 29:34, 35)
#3—Just as there have been calamities in the past, we expect more in the future. What [should] we do? … It was not raining when Noah built the ark. But he built it, and the rains came. The Lord has said, “If ye are prepared ye shall not fear” (D & C 38:30). (Gordon B. Hinkley, October 2005)
#4—For decades, the Lord’s prophets have urged us to store food, water, and financial reserves for a time of need. The current pandemic has reinforced the wisdom of that counsel. I urge you to take steps to be temporally prepared. But I am even more concerned about your spiritual and emotional preparation. (Russell M. Nelson, October 2020)
#5—For the time soon cometh that the fulness of the wrath of God shall be poured out upon all the children of men; for he will not suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous. Wherefore, he will preserve the righteous by his power, even if it so be that the fulness of his wrath must come, and the righteous be preserved, even unto the destruction of their enemies by fire. Wherefore, the righteous need not fear. (I Nephi 22:16, 17)
#6—The Church is…among the first responders when tragedy strikes. …. Last year alone, the Church carried out more than 100 disaster-relief projects around the world, helping victims of hurricanes, fires, floods, earthquakes, and other calamities. (Russell M. Nelson, October 2019)

May 15, 2023 Bethany Comerford Ep. 695 The Cultural Hall
SECRETS OF A RECOVERING CONTROL FREAK: HOW I FINALLY LEARNED TO LE GOD LEAD ME by Bethany Comerford
Using the serenity prayer as a guide, the last line is obviously the most important. Heavenly Father absolutely wants us to use our agency to make decisions and plans for ourselves, but sometimes those aren’t the same plans He has for us. Are we willing to accept that when the time comes? The sooner we do, the happier we can be.
ACCEPTING THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE…
One metaphor is called “Holding on to the Branch”–we do this when we want something so badly, but it’s not meant for us, at least not right now. Trusting God will help us let go of that “branch.” This would describe the first line of the serenity prayer.
We need to replace “coincidence” with “tender mercy.” Calling those uncanny moments or incidents coincidences removes God from the picture. If we believe He is an active part of our lives, we need to “see” His hand at work in our lives.
God’s timing is always perfect, ours isn’t. Sometimes we have to accept that what we want will take longer than expected–that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
Instead of asking “Why me?” when we’re faced with a trial, ask “Why NOT me?” God absolutely gives us more than we can handle so that we will turn to Him for help. When we do, He teaches us about ourselves, shows us our weaknesses, and also connects us with others to help us. This is where we grow closest to the Savior and truly understand the need for His atonement.
CHANGING THE THINGS I CAN…
Faith vs. Fear: Who wins? It’s important to understand what faith really means.
Learning to adapt to life’s curve balls. Instead of asking why, instead ask, “What is the lesson here?”
We have to “stay in motion”–God will not MAKE us move, but He can make other things around us happen when we start moving.
CONCLUSION
Heavenly Father cares about even the tiniest details of our lives. He’s the only one who truly knows our capabilities–let him be the guide.
About Our Guest:
Bethany Comerford is a Certified Faith-Based Life Coach. She wrote a book in 2020 called Secrets of a Recovering Control Freak: How I Finally Learned to Let God Lead Me, where she shares the plans she’d set for her life (all good and worthy things!), and how none of them happened according to her plan, but how it was even better.
She served a mission in the Dominican Republic while her future husband, Cam, was serving in Ohio. They got married 4 months after his return. They struggled with infertility for 4 years & then secondary infertility for 2 years. They now have two daughters (ages 14 & 10). Their younger daughter was recently diagnosed with Autism level 3 and severe intellectual disability.
In the book, Bethany shares how she learned to trust that Heavenly Father knows more than we do and that He also cares about the little things that mean a lot to us.
Check out her book, Secrets of a Recovering Control Freak: How I Finally Learned to Let God Lead Me.

May 10, 2023 Matthew Webster Ep. 693 The Cultural Hall
Matthew Luke Webster born and raised in Utah, youngest of 8 and experiencing life discipleship to Christ to its fullest. As a gay-member of the LDS Church it’s taken 35+ years to know what self-love is and what the savior did for him. Abuse, addiction, adultery, depression, divorce and near death hasn’t stopped him from fully embracing not only who he is, but what Christ has done for him and for all mankind.
Self-proclaimed adversity expert. Willing to admit at times he needs course correction from God, he spends his days working in the corporate world while spending evenings, nights and weekends coaching, facilitating, and encouraging others to come unto Christ and be healed. You can find him on Instagram on his personal profile and on his professional coaching one.
From nude beaches to temples, there isn’t a place in the world he fears judgment of others while he proclaims Christ is the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God.

Anderson alleges the city did not allow a competitive bid process when they allowed the church to build the sewer extension that will eventually connect with 1500 new neighboring homes.
City said it didn’t make sense to split up the sewer extension among other builders, and having the church’s contractor do it is cheaper. (The church did the bidding for the project already)
