Episodes
In this episode, I continue with Doctrine & Covenants 88 and move into sections 89–92, “A Principle with a Promise.” I share the wrestle I had over releasing this episode that talks about the vaccine, why I ultimately felt impressed to publish it, and how it ties into following the prophet and learning by faith. We’ll look at what it means to submit our will to God, seek answers in the scriptures, and embrace the Word of Wisdom as ...
In this episode, I dive into Doctrine and Covenants 88, an amazing revelation about light, glory, and the peace Christ offers us, even when life feels hard. I share how this section came in the middle of challenges for the early Saints and how it teaches us to seek God’s will, not just our own. We’ll talk about what it means to be sanctified, why consolation is just as much a gift as joy, and how the story of the brother of Jared s...
This episode is about journals, how the spirit feels and how it testifies to us, and about standing in holy places.
From the manual:
Christmas Day is usually a time to ponder messages like “peace on earth” and “good will toward men” (see Luke 2:14). But on December 25, 1832, Joseph Smith’s mind was occupied with the threat of war. South Carolina had just defied the United States government and was preparing for battle. And the Lo...

In this episode, I sit down with Standard of Truth podcast hosts Dr. Garrett Dirkmaat and Dr. Richard LeDuc—two brilliant minds who somehow make 19th-century church history as fun as late-night comedy.
We talk about what makes a source reliable, why passion doesn't equal expertise, and how to respond when someone says, “If yo...
This is a new episode that I recorded quickly this morning before work. It briefly covers Doctrine and Covenants 76.
Shine on!
This episode includes the story about Levi Hancock and the preface to the Book of Commandments. I share the story of the Spanish Branch and my husband’s watch story from when he was young. It talks about being excited about the gospel, letting the Holy Spirit guide you in sharing the gospel, and raising your kids. And it talks about parenting.
In this podcast, Colton shares his journey of wrestling with faith after his mission—facing trials, addiction, and doubt. It was a deep, honest study of the Book of Mormon that brought him back. Through scripture, support, and the Spirit, he found renewed clarity and conviction. His story is a powerful witness of the Book of Mormon’s ability to anchor us in truth.

This episode is about righteousness. I discuss the importance of hearing the Savior's messages through the power of the Holy Ghost. We need Christ's love, and we need His help every day. Alone, we have a harder time in this confusing and deception-filled world. With Him and the sweet influence of the Spirit life can be filled with so much more JOY!
Here are the talks I mentioned:
This episode includes my interview with Finley Joseph about his and his family’s experience visiting one of our churches. I also speak a little on spiritual gifts and keeping a record.
In this episode of "It Feels Like Joy," I discuss the power of the scriptures and how turning to the Book of Mormon daily can help us develop a relationship with the Savior faster than any other method. You know me, I had to start there! And it's because it works.
