Come Follow Me for Us

In this episode, I talk about Joshua, courage, and what it means to step into the Jordan before the waters part. I share Jen's powerful conversion story and how her faith reminds all of us that we can do hard things when we know the gospel is true. I also talk about Jericho, keeping the commandments with exactness, and trusting that when the Lord asks us to keep walking, the walls really can come down.

This week I'm talking about Moses's warning in Deuteronomy: beware lest thou forget the Lord. As the Israelites prepared to enter the promised land, the danger wasn't just hardship — it was comfort. It was receiving blessings and then forgetting where they came from.
I share thoughts about putting the word of God in our hearts, letting the Lord soften and heal us, remembering His hand in our lives, and opening our hands wide to bless others. When we choose God, serve His children, and remember Him in both our wilderness and our promised lands, He helps us make it home.

This episode is about the whining and complaining Israelites.  What's new?  I loved in the intro how it said, "...the children of Israel needed, not to cover the geographical distance but to cover the spiritual distance: the distance between who they were and who the Lord needed them to become." So it is with us!  If we stop complaining, we'll get to the land of milk and honey much faster and become who the Lord wants us to become.

Shelby Stroud is filling in for Melanie this week 
Shelby talks about the tabernacle, sacrifice, repentance, and what it means to offer the Lord a broken heart and a contrite spirit. With stories about fake pearls, seminary whiteboards, Sunday homework, and the unique gifts God gives each of us, she points us back to Jesus Christ — our High Priest, our scapegoat, and the One who makes us holy.

In this episode, I'm talking about Jesus Christ as our Advocate — not just someday at judgment, but right now, in the middle of our messy, mortal lives. I share what I learned while studying the word advocate, how the Holy Ghost helps bring Christ's advocacy into our hearts, and why staying close to the Spirit matters so much. I also share a personal scripture moment from 2 Corinthians 8 that reminded me the Lord accepts what we can offer, not what we can't. Christ is beside us, cheering for us, pleading for us, strengthening us, and helping us come home.
