Emily Inouye Huey’s father was born in a prison camp during World War II. His parents were imprisoned simply for the color of their skin and suffered terrible injustices. Still, Huey’s father and other ancestors chose to move forward following the war, refusing to harbor resentment or bitterness—passing on to their children and grandchildren the hope of a much brighter future. Today, Emily is an author who wants to make sure their victory over the atrocities of war is known and that their legacy lives on.

The complexities surrounding conversations of racism today are numberless but the root of the solution is the two great commandments: love God and love your neighbor as yourself. On this week’s episode, we talk with Abe Mills and Stephen Jones, two black Latter-day Saints, about their experiences with racism within Church culture, the faith of those who came before them, and why they don’t hesitate to share their faith in Jesus Christ.

"Understanding what He did for us, it gives us hope, which we live in a world with a lot of people that have no hope or they’ve lost their hope—whether it’s hope in equality, hope in fairness, hope in whatever—they’ve lost their hope, but the gospel has taught us hope because we know what Jesus Christ did for us. It has taught us understanding because we know Christ was the example of understanding, and on top of that, it has taught us forgiveness, or how to forgive, in a time where forgiveness is needed greatly." -Abe Mills

Since becoming president of Brigham Young University last year, Shane Reese has often referenced a number of talks given by prophets and apostles. This is not a mistake. He has expressed determination to follow prophets, seers and revelators as he leads BYU.

“If we’re not unique, if we’re not different, if we don’t provide value other than just a great educational opportunity, then I can imagine that the Church could feel like they could give students scholarships to go to any other school for about the same return.”

Rebecca Connolly is an author of stories but she is well aware of who the Author of the best stories is and it is in Him that she has placed her trust. From choosing to quit her job in order to write full-time to writing love stories and continuing to believe in them despite having yet to find a love story of her own, Rebecca has placed her pen firmly in the hand of God. On this week’s episode, we talk with Rebecca about discovering her own story as she tells the stories of others, some fictional but some real heroes whose stories are worth telling.

“Walking the path of discipleship and following in His way is going to give us blisters and it is going to tear up our sandals and it’s going to put a lot of travel dust on our feet. But the Savior is the One who washes our feet and our blisters will become calluses.”

There have been seasons when Sister Bonnie H. Cordon was a working mom and other seasons where she was able to choose to stay home. Today, she is a working grandmother who feels that the Lord has given her a miracle she didn’t know she needed in the form of an opportunity to lead Southern Virginia University. On this week’s episode, we discuss with President Cordon, the former Young Women general president, the Lord’s ability to direct us from season to season if we’ll just say yes.

Jill Geigle has dedicated a great deal of time throughout her life to preparing children and families to face the challenges of a modern world. Specifically, she is passionate that, because all of us will come into contact with pornography at some point, we should prepare our families to be pornography-resistant rather than seeking to protect them from pornography. On this week’s episode, Jill shares with us four principles that will help you implement this preparation in your own home.

45:05- Teach the Doctrine of Jesus Christ
51:22- What Does It Mean To Be All In?
“The Doctrine of Christ is an attachment cycle that Heavenly Father has given to us. He wants us to attach to Him. We have a problem, we cry out to Him in faith and repentance and He answers us with covenants and with the Holy Ghost.”
