The Impeckable Perspective

The concept of a Heavenly Mother is long standing doctrine within the LDS faith, but may be a new concept to other Christian faiths. However, that doesn't mean there is no controversy and cultural influence about our Heavenly Mother. There are truths and myths, largely perpetuated by the culture of our church, about Heavenly Mother and today's episode clears all of that up.

It only make sense that we have a Heavenly Mother for w...

Fresh off of the April 2022 General Conference, today we draw our inspiration from President Nelson's talk on spiritual momentum. There are 5 specific suggestions he has for creating and maintaining your own personal spiritual momentum, and it is something that everyone can do.

Our favorite suggestion, the first time Luann and I agreed on something :), is recognizing miracles in your life. I talk about the amazing miracle I get ...

In this concluding episode in our series on boundaries, we discuss setting boundaries with yourself. Probably the most difficult of all the boundaries because when we set boundaries with ourselves, the responsibility to follow the boundary falls directly on us. Not so easy.

The most common areas in our lives where we struggle with setting personal boundaries is with money, our relationships, our own behavior, food, our time, and...

Today's episode tackles boundaries and children. Probably one of the most important episodes in our boundaries series for so many reasons. Setting proper boundaries for our children not only helps them to learn how to set responsible boundaries, it also helps them understand the Atonement.

We discuss the main reasons why kids need boundaries which is the foundation for understanding how to help them set their own. Improper bound...

In this episode, we finish discussing the ten laws of boundaries. We cover the following laws:

The law of motivation - setting boundaries out of love, not fear

The law of evaluation - consider what things will look like in 10 minutes, 10 days, and 10 months from now

The law of proactivity - proactive vs reactive boundary setting

The law of envy - an envious mindset feels that the only good things are the things you don'...

In this mini-series within a series, we discuss the 10 laws of boundaries. In part 1, we discuss the first four laws: the law of sowing and reaping, the law of power, the law of responsibility, and the law of respect.

Laws are nothing more than boundaries in all aspects of life. When people aren't following these laws, they aren't setting boundaries in their lives. We discuss how the boundaries of God, the Church, and the church...

In this, the third episode of our boundaries series, we demystify common boundary myths. There are many myths about setting boundaries that we all buy into, usually because we have been taught them from childhood and don't know any different.

Busting through myths and gaining clarity on boundaries will help each of us set strong and healthy boundaries that protect us and bring happiness.

This episode is the second in our boundaries series. Today, we discuss recognizing boundaries in our own lives. We explain the boundaries that already exist in our lives naturally, the importance of understanding what is our responsibility and what is not our responsibility in order to set proper boundaries. We also delve into how boundaries apply not only to this mortal live but also to our eternal life.

This episode wouldn't b...

Today's episode is the first in a series about boundaries. This is a topic that everyone struggles with at some point and to some degree. Luann sees this in her therapy session with clients on a daily basis. It needs to be discussed so we have taken on the challenge!

In this first episode, we focus on mindset. One of the biggest issues people face with setting boundaries is they think that they may be offending others or being s...

Let's talk about humility! If there is one thing that we all struggle with on the daily, it is remaining humble. There are many factors that challenge humility and push us towards pride constantly. It is a battle we face ongoing.

We discuss the six features of humility in this episode and corresponding gospel principles that go along with them. It is great insight to how you can implement ways to avoid pride and receive awesome ...

Given the choice, most Christians would want to let God prevail in their lives. We all know how important that is to our faith, yet are we truly letting God prevail? And what does that really mean?

This episode looks at the things in our lives that keep us from fully going all in and letting God prevail. The natural man in all of us is one of the biggest culprits. The natural man urges us to become a slave to our desires, passio...

One of the most misunderstood aspects of Christianity is the concept of an adversary, or Satan as we commonly refer to him. This episode is dedicated to demystifying who Satan is and what his role is in our lives.

God's plan of Agency, or the freedom to choose, requires opposition for it to work. For example, we cannot choose good if there is no evil. So Satan has a specific role in this great plan, but he operates under st...

There are many factors that make us feel separated from God in this world. After all, we are physically separated from Him due to the fact that we left His presence and came to this world for our mortal journey. But are we really separated?

Things like the adversary, the natural man, and the culture of the church make us feel like we are separated and alone in this life. Only Satan, and those that chose to follow him, are t...

Today we have a first where I had no idea what our topic really meant before we started recording. The concept of doing versus being is a bit elusive and sometimes confusing. Basically, it is a balance between who you are and how you act - the trick is to get the two to align.

Doing is easy because it is measurable, for example setting a goal. Being, on the other hand, is like trying to measure your soul. No real yard stick for ...

In today's episode we discuss the one topic that I struggle with the most, submitting your will to the Lord. I don't know why this is so difficult, but it is for many. For me there is an inherent sense of loss of identity when I think about what it means to submit your will to the Lord.

But I love being wrong about things like that! There is a strong message in the world that we have to do things on our own in order for us to ha...

And the best part is I am the guinea pig for the meditation episode!

Marriage has been around since the dawn of time and exists in every culture in some way, shape, or form. Indeed, marriage is an eternal principle and has been ordained of God. It is a source of joy and happiness that cannot be experienced any other way.

So why do half of all marriages fail? No one sets out getting married with the goal of getting divorced. There are many reasons for the failure of a marriage, but with a few simp...

Pornography is pervasive, addictive, and has become a normal part of our society and our lives. It is everywhere in its various forms. Pornography has become a global pandemic in its own right and has devastating effects on families, marriages, and our personal lives.

Shame is the foundation for any addiction, including pornography. When we are shamed, we are made to feel that we are "the mistake" instead of "I've made a mistake...
