Eyres on the Road BYUradio

Today the Eyres, fresh off of a retreat with their four soon-to-be missionary grandsons, talk about the interplay between family and church, and how, in an ideal world, religion supports and backs up families. They believe that it is families that are eternal, not churches, and that we are all part of families here on earth and part of God's family for eternity.

How do we get ourselves and our kids in touch with the Spirit or Higher Intelligence of God, to help us discern truth from error and give us the security and comfort we need? The Eyres suggest that there are four portals (abbreviated PTL) that get us "in" to the Spirit: Joy, Love, Peace, and Beauty. Today, they discuss these four portals as both the passwords into the Spirit, and as the manifestations of the Spirit.

(Saren, left, as a 5 year old in England) In their ongoing effort to introduce podcast listeners to their children who they talk about so often, the Eyres interview their first daughter Saren on today's episode. Saren's stellar Wellesley/Harvard education, her LDS mission to Bulgaria, and having 5 kids of her own in five years launched her into a life of service to other parents and families and to coaching and speaking to parents worldwide through her organization, poweroffamilies.com

(Shawni, middle, as a child in London) On today's show, Richard and Linda interview their daughter Shawni, well-known blogger (71toes.com) and podcaster (In the Arena with the Eyre Sisters) about her life, her family, and the motivation behind her ongoing work to help and improve parenting and families. Briefly covering Shawni's life from childhood through her education, her mission, and her own marriage and family, the conversation stems into encouragement for all parents.

The Eyres are in Laguna Beach today and In this new episode they continue their series on "3-letter lessons" and focus on OBS or Observe. Really seeing, truly noticing, and the effort to be acutely aware is the key to all learning and all becoming. Jesus taught us to "watch and pray" and the better we get at observing the more we will have of gratitude, calmness, love, beauty, peace, perspective, inspiration, and joy.

The Eyres cast today from the South of Italy, the "boot" as it is called, where Richard is playing in an international senior tennis tournament. They are traveling with their son Tal, featured on last week's podcast with his new book DAD MODE, and his Swiss wife Anita who is a noted personal coach. Tal and Anita tell "their story" which includes a year long "humanitarian honeymoon." See more at TalEyre.com and AnitaJoosEyre.com.
