Hi, I'm Brynne B. Nelson, and this is the Tuesday Morning Principle Podcast. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My intention is to inspire and uplift with a variety of Gospel topics.
I have a book (The Tuesday Morning Principle: a Millennial's Guide to Daily Gospel Living) coming out on Amazon very soon. Keep a lookout for it, and I'll add a link as soon as I can!
The Tuesday Morning Principle is the idea that the Gospel of Jesus Christ should be practiced on a daily, average, ordinary-life basis, as well as tips on how to do that.
Some questions and answers:
1. What qualifies me to teach the Gospel?
You know, I’ve been asking myself this question for years. I could cite a lifetime in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints, or my education at BYU, or my righteous parents as reasons. But the truth is, I don’t think that those things “qualify” me, as such, to teach something as important and beautiful and complex as the Gospel. Instead, I offer you this—in Doctrine and Covenants 88:77, the Savior instructs His people, “And I give unto you a commandment that you shall teach one another the doctrine of the kingdom.” In 1 Nephi 19:23, the prophet Nephi refers to the importance of “likening” the scriptures unto ourselves. In the spirit of Nephi’s wisdom, I choose to liken the revelation from the Doctrine and Covenants to myself—I believe that we ought to “teach one another the doctrine of the kingdom,” and that includes me.
2. Why do I use such an informal tone when discussing Gospel topics?
For this answer, I’m going to paraphrase my explanation straight out of my own book: Some people may be bothered by my deliberately casual tone... To you I say: okay, then you aren’t required to follow along! This is not a work of scripture. I am not a Prophet. While I stay away from what I consider to be topics too sacred to discuss in this casual tone, if you’re worried, give up and don’t let the situation bother you. If you’re simply wondering why I talk and write so casually, the answer is this: this podcast is aimed at Millennials and beyond. An unfortunately large number of us are too afraid to try to read classic Church literature (for instance, Jesus the Christ—I know a lot of people who are terrified of trying to decipher the works of Elder James E. Talmage.) And while I don’t put myself on a level with those outstanding authors, if I can invite the Spirit or get people comfortable with the idea of reading Gospel-centered literature, I’ve done a good job.
3. Why a podcast?
Why not a podcast? I figure, they’re popular right now, and beyond that, I can hopefully reach more people than I could with just my book.
4. Who am I, anyway?
Well, I was born the youngest of five kids. I grew up in the Church, as I’ve mentioned—first in California, then in Utah. I’ve been married seven years (almost!) to a wonderful man that I’m sure you’ll hear about, and we have four kids under the age of six—three girls and a baby boy. I craft a lot, my favorite color is yellow, and I share just way too much about myself and my life, so if you follow this podcast, you’ll undoubtedly learn other tidbits! I’m a personality type “white” according to “The Color Code,” which basically means that I am motivated by a desire for peace in life. I can tell you that the quality I value most highly in myself and others is compassion, and I’m on an eternal quest to be a kinder, gentler me in every situation.
5. Can you contact me? What about following me on social media?
Yes! Absolutely! I’d love to hear from you. My religious account on Ins
