In this episode, Jenny and Lee dive into the vital role of temples in preparing to meet Jesus Christ—both now and at His Second Coming.
Drawing on powerful teachings from President Nelson and other Church leaders, they explore why temple worship is more than ordinances and beautiful buildings. The temple is a place of refuge, revelation, and covenantal strength that helps us live in daily relationship with our Savior.
Together, they discuss personal journeys of growing testimonies of the temple, the promises tied to temple worship, and practical ways to deepen our preparation—starting with temple recommend questions, heartfelt prayer, and regular covenant living.
Whether you live close to a temple or far away, this conversation will inspire you to see the temple as a place to meet Christ today and build the confidence to meet Him when that sacred moment comes.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
