    Katie's Path to Forgiveness After Betrayal and Loss

    Forgiveness gets called a miracle for a reason. It asks us to do something that feels outside our own capability, and then it delivers peace that only the Savior can provide. In this episode of Temple Bound, host Will Humphreys sits down with Katie, an institute teacher who has spent years teaching The Divine Gift of Forgiveness by Elder Neil L. Andersen. Katie walks through what repentance actually means in its original Hebrew and Greek roots, why the Latin translation buried it in shame, and how two of the hardest experiences of her life, her father's arrest and her husband's addiction, taught her that forgiveness was never about the other person. It was about her own peace. Katie also shares how she and her late husband Brandon rebuilt trust after his struggle with pornography came to light, why she believes the real opposite of trauma is trust rather than peace, and how she found joy even in planning his funeral after he died unexpectedly of a stroke. She closes with practical guidance for anyone who feels too far gone for the Atonement, and for any parent, spouse, or bishop who wants to be a safe place when someone finally works up the courage to confess. Key takeaways: Repentance means to turn to God. The shame around it came from a Latin mistranslation, not from the original meaning of the word.Fear and pride are the Twin Bullies that stop repentance before it starts, even when they disguise themselves as humility.No one has sinned beyond the reach of the Atonement, no matter how far gone it feels.Forgiveness is not for the person who hurt you. It is for you, and it lifts a weight you may not realize you are carrying.The real opposite of trauma is trust, not peace. Peace follows once trust is in place.Saying "thank you for telling me" first can make all the difference when someone confesses something hard.Healing and joy can exist in the same moment, even in the middle of grief.If this episode means something to you, follow Temple Bound and leave a comment on the app you're listening from.

    Supporting Your Missionary Through Hard Times with Mission Coach Jennie Dildine

    Will Humphreys sits down with Jennie Dildine, a certified life coach and host of the LDS Mission Podcast, to talk about what actually helps missionaries before they leave, while they are serving, and after they come home. Jennie has spent seven years coaching missionaries and their parents through anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, and the transition home, and in this episode she breaks down what she has learned. The conversation is rooted in Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk Forget Me Not from October 2011. Jennie read the talk, replaced every mention of sisters with missionaries and elders and sisters, and found something she now teaches nearly everyone she works with: five things missionaries, and the people who love them, are not supposed to forget. In This Episode, Will and Jennie Discuss: Why Jennie became a certified life coach for missionaries and their parents, and the moment that convinced her this was her callingElder Uchtdorf's Forget Me Not talk and the five things it teaches missionaries never to forgetWhy worth was never tied to goals met, lessons taught, or how a mission looks from the outsideThe normalize, validate, and repeat method for what to say when a missionary wants to come homeThe missionary spiral, and how a single hard moment turns into guilt, shame, and frustrationSupport versus challenge, and how parents can find the right balance for their missionaryHow to prepare a missionary before they leave, including five things to teach before departureNavigating romantic relationships before and during a missionThe biggest myth about returned missionaries, and what actually helps them transition homePreparing Missionary Cheat Sheet: https://www.subscribepage.com/preparingmissionarycheatsheetmissionariesww Connect with Jenny Website: https://jenniedildine.com/ Instagram: @jennie.theldsmissioncoach Podcast: LDS Mission Podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0MnlUX55Lnvo66Ti13yYhk?si=03786b400bd74285 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lds-mission-podcast/id1573286056 Send us Fan Mail

    How the Temple Helps Missionaries Endure with Mission President Denny Barney

    Denny Barney recently completed his service as a mission president in the Iowa Iowa City Mission alongside his wife Nichole. In this episode of Temple Bound, host Will Humphreys sits down with Denny during Missionary Month to talk about what it actually takes to endure a mission, and what enduring is supposed to mean in the first place. What you will learn in this episode:  Why "show up, choose faith, trust the process" works as a daily framework for hard things, not just missionary work. The difference between acting charitable and becoming charitable, and why that distinction changes everything about spiritual growth. Why missionary purpose has to become personal, not just memorized. How ancient temple worship in places like Egypt and Guatemala connects to the pattern used in temples today. What Elder Bednar means when he says charity should possess us. How to talk with a missionary preparing to leave, or a child who has chosen a different path, without losing connection. Why the atonement of Jesus Christ is bigger than fixing sin, and how it applies to everything that feels unfair in life. Denny also shares a personal story from a recent family trip to Egypt, where standing at the base of the pyramids and inside the Karnak temple gave him a new appreciation for how deeply rooted temple worship is in human history, long before the Restoration. This episode is built for anyone connected to missionary service right now: a missionary in the field, a missionary preparing to leave, a missionary just home and figuring out life, or a parent walking alongside any of them.

    Temple Prep for a Generation That Wants Proof with JD and Kendra

    JD and Kendra Dockstader have taught temple prep for three years, and they've watched the class change right along with the kids sitting in it. This episode is for parents, temple prep teachers, and anyone trying to figure out how to talk about the temple with a generation that gets most of its information from TikTok before it ever gets to church. JD and Kendra walk through what they actually teach: the five covenants, the difference between worthiness and perfection, and why leaning into symbolism works better than starting with Solomon's Temple. They talk about covenant path versus life plan, why comparison is the real threat to these kids, and what it means that the temple manual most wards are using was written in 1978. Will, JD, and Kendra also get into something bigger than curriculum. Kids are being trained to see the temple through influencer content whether their parents opt in or not. The conversation covers what that training looks like, how to counter it without being combative, and why moral authority (living it, not just explaining it) is the most convincing lesson a parent gives. Topics covered: Why the standard temple prep manual hasn't kept up with how youth learnTeaching the five covenants without making them feel like a surpriseWorthiness versus perfection, and why kids confuse the twoCovenant path versus life plan, and the pressure of doing things in a certain orderSymbolism as a teaching tool, from the altar to the clothing to the building itselfHow proximity to a temple (or distance from one) shapes a family's relationship with itAdvice for anyone newly called as a temple prep teacherIf you're a parent wondering when to start these conversations, or a teacher trying to figure out how to reach kids who already think they know what's inside, this one gives you a real starting point.

    Sadie Hamblin on the Doctrine of Christ

    In this episode of Temple Bound, Will Humphreys sits down with Sadie to talk about what changed. She walks through the five elements of the doctrine of Christ (faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end) and teaches it live, the way she would teach a friend on her mission. Sadie also opens up about growing up with OCD and perfectionism, the health crisis that nearly kept her from serving, and why her transition home has felt different than most returned missionaries describe. She shares the rocks, pebbles, and sand framework she now uses to prioritize temple attendance, and the simple daily habit any member, missionary or not, can start today to build real conviction in the doctrine of Christ. Topics covered:  Doctrine of ChristLDS mission baptismsReturned missionary transitionTemple attendance, faith and repentanceOvercoming the adversary, OCD and faithBook of Mormon studyHer Journey from Jacksonville Florida mission.If you're preparing for a mission, supporting someone who is, or you're newly home and trying to keep your fire burning, this one is for you.

    Eva Timothy on Light, Creation, and Covenants

    What does it mean to grow up in a country where faith is forbidden, where your father could go to jail for painting the Beatles on the kitchen wall, and where your hunger for God has nowhere to go? For Eva Timothy, that was not a metaphor. That was childhood in communist Bulgaria. In this episode of Temple Bound, host Will Humphreys sits down with fine art photographer and founder of the Enlighten podcast, Eva Timothy, whose story stretches from the cement rooftops of Sofia to the altars of the Salt Lake Temple. Eva shares how the fall of the Berlin Wall opened Bulgaria to missionaries, how a picture of the Savior on a street board stopped her mid-walk and changed her life forever, and why she believes that every person on earth has been given a creative gift from God. Eva is known for her award-winning series The Lord Is My Light, a photo-painting collection displayed in institutions including the Smithsonian. Her work uniquely omits the face of the Savior in every piece, a prompting she received when the series began, so that every viewer can place themselves into the moment with Christ. This conversation covers: The reality of growing up under communism with no religious freedom and no First AmendmentHow Eva found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through a chance encounter with missionaries in a parkHer first prayer ever, offered during sacrament meeting in a rented room above a soccer stadium in BulgariaWhy photography literally means to write with light, and how that shaped her entire artistic visionThe concept of chiaroscuro, the Renaissance technique of using darkness to make light more brilliantHer mission president's challenge to create something for Jesus, and the seven years it took for that prompting to become The Lord Is My LightWhy she never shows the Savior's face in her art, and what that invites the viewer to doThe painting Lord Save Me, depicting Christ pulling Peter from the water, and what it means to be held with both handsThe temple as a masterclass on creation, and how going to the house of the Lord empowers our creative giftsDoctrine and Covenants 109:22 and the promises given to those who come forth from the temple armed with God's powerHow repentance and the Spirit are essential ingredients in the creative processAdvice for people who believe they have no creative gifts, and why that belief is a lie from the adversaryHow to seek your gifts through prayer, patriarchal blessings, and the things that make you lose track of timeIf this episode touched something in you, please follow Temple Bound and leave a comment on the platform you are listening on.

    What do you do when a temple marriage ends in divorce and you wonder if God still has something beautiful ahead for you? Scott and Lori answer that question with their lives.
