    What do you do when life doesn't go the way you hoped? This week on ThisIsKingdom, Talon, TJ, Grace, and Hollis discuss President Emily Belle Freeman's General Conference message, "Best Days and Worst Days." Together they explore how Jesus Christ meets us in both our highest highs and our lowest lows—and why our response to life's hardest moments can shape who we become. From personal stories of moving across the country, humanitarian experiences, and unexpected trials, to powerful reminders that the morning comes and the shadows flee away, this conversation is for anyone who feels like they're walking through one of life's difficult seasons. No matter what you're facing today, there is hope. Christ doesn't waste our hardest days—He uses them to draw us closer to Him. 📖 Featured Talk: Best Days and Worst Days — President Emily Belle Freeman 💬 Challenge of the Week: When life gets hard, choose to turn toward God instead of away from Him.

    for the one who feels forgotten

    What if remembering someone’s name is one of the simplest ways to help them feel truly seen? In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis begin with an emotional farewell to Kit, a beloved studio team member, who shares advice about “value mapping” and aligning life decisions with the things that matter most. They then discuss Elder Clement M. Matswagothata’s talk He Knows You by Name, exploring how God personally knows and values each of His children. Through personal stories from Walmart, Chick-fil-A, and mission experiences, they reflect on the power of names and the impact of making others feel recognized. The conversation highlights how small acts of attention and kindness can mirror the way Christ loves and sees each person. This week’s challenge is to learn one new person’s name every day. Whether it’s a friend, coworker, neighbor, or stranger, taking the time to remember someone can help them feel the love and care that God has for them. 00:00 Devastating News 00:59 Kit's Life Advice: Value Mapping 02:25 He Knows You by Name 04:08 The Power of Being Remembered 07:27 Learning Names Takes Practice 09:01 Two People Named Hollis 11:47 This Week's Challenge 12:30 Closing Song

    For the one who wants to wake up excited

    What if you don’t need a different life, but simply need to live your life differently? In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis discuss Brother David J. Wunderli’s talk Jesus Christ Is Not Our Burden; He Is Our Relief. They explore what it means to truly walk with Jesus in everyday life, not just during spiritual moments, but through ordinary routines, goals, struggles, and seasons. The conversation highlights how inviting Christ into our daily lives brings greater purpose, excitement, and direction. Through stories about finding meaning, setting big goals, and choosing to be difference makers, they reflect on how walking with Jesus can transform even the most normal moments into something meaningful.

    for the one who needs strength

    What if the temple isn't just a place you visit, but a place where God equips you for everything you're facing? In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis discuss Elder Quentin L. Cook’s talk Keys, Covenants, and Easter. Grace shares how visiting Jerusalem and the Kirtland Temple deepened her faith, helping her realize that the Savior's promises are just as real today as they were in scripture. The group explores the idea that every temple around the world carries the same divine blessings and covenants found in Doctrine and Covenants 109. Together, they reflect on what makes a place truly sacred and how approaching temples, sacrament meetings, and even our homes with greater reverence can transform our spiritual lives. The conversation highlights powerful temple promises, including being armed with God's power, having His name upon us, and being watched over by angels. This week's challenge is to read Doctrine and Covenants 109:1–45 and mark every blessing and promise connected to the temple. By seeing what God offers through His house, listeners are invited to deepen their appreciation for sacred spaces and approach them with greater faith and intention. The episode closes with a tender children's hymn about preparing to meet the Savior.

    for the one who needs a friend

    In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis discuss Elder Gary E. Stevenson’s talk Lost Luggage, Redeemed Souls, exploring what it means to be more accessible and present in our relationships. Inspired by the story of an airport that hasn't lost a single piece of luggage in decades, they reflect on the simple but powerful idea of keeping your "handles facing outward" so others can more easily reach, connect with, and rely on you. Through personal stories and practical examples, they discuss answering unexpected phone calls, warmly welcoming people into your life, and overcoming the fear of being the one who reaches out first. The conversation highlights how genuine connection often begins with a simple act of initiation and why choosing to care is far more meaningful than trying to appear indifferent. This week's challenge is to perform one intentional act of initiation every day. Whether it's making a call, sending a text, extending an invitation, or starting a conversation, small efforts to reach out can strengthen relationships and reflect the way we connect with both people and God.
