    Building a Spiritual Presidential Cabinet: Ending Isolation & Designing Your Mind with Christ

    In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker continues the Eternal Warriors 4.0 series by teaching how to intentionally design the “presidential cabinet” in your mind—instead of letting fear, shame, and Satan’s lobbyists run the show. Maurice explores how many Latter-day Saints live with anxiety, depression, spiritual stagnation, or quiet mediocrity, not because they’re weak, but because they’ve never been taught how to recognize and organize the voices in their own head. He introduces the idea of a spiritual “cabinet” made up of the historian, statistician, hope, charity, fear, the divine apprentice, and the lobbyist, and shows how to put faith, hope, and charity back in the lead with Christ as the true source of guidance. You’ll learn: How Satan uses isolation and the lie, “You’re the only one like this,” to shut down your growth What it looks like to run a daily “cabinet meeting” in your brain with the Savior presiding How to recognize when the “lobbyist” voice (fear, shame, panic, urgency) is hijacking your thoughts Simple ways to use DAR/DPAR (Discover–Plan–Act–Reflect) with a partner or teammate to create progress Why teaming up (fireside-style check-ins) is a spiritual weapon against discouragement and drift How “beginning with the end in mind” leads to miracle-level passion projects where you seek and expect to be part of God’s work If you’re an LDS disciple, spouse, or parent who feels stuck in your head, overwhelmed by self-improvement, or alone in your battles, this episode will help you name what’s going on inside, fight isolation, and move toward a life where you can honestly say: “I have used my gifts and talents to be part of miracles.” 🔗 For deeper, gospel-centered training, visit: LazarusLectures.com – Marriage repair workshops & Lazarus Lectures LifeChangingServices.org – Self-mastery, Eternal Warriors, and healing programs Created by faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but not officially affiliated with the Church.

    Small & Simple Spiritual Systems: DPAR, Sticky Notes & Beating ‘Not Enough’ Lies

    In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker dives into how small, simple, gospel-centered systems can transform your self-mastery—and why Satan works so hard to convince you it’s “too much” or “not enough.” Building on the Eternal Warriors 4.0 framework, Maurice and his team review key principles like the war between remembering and forgetting, recognizing satanic lies and spin, understanding chemical levels, and using DAR/DPAR (Discover–Plan–Act–Reflect) in realistic, everyday ways. You’ll hear practical examples—from sticky-note to-do lists to budgeting and even pickleball practice—showing how self-mastery doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful. In this episode, you’ll learn: How the war between remembering and forgetting is a real spiritual battle, not just a personality flaw Why Satan loves the lie: “If you can’t do it big and perfect, you shouldn’t do it at all” Simple ways to turn everyday tools (like sticky notes, planners, or budgets) into DAR/DPAR systems How to adapt Eternal Warriors tools to your personality, season of life, and energy level Why small and simple efforts, repeated with faith in Christ, can bring about miraculous long-term change If you’re an LDS parent, spouse, leader, or disciple who feels overwhelmed by self-improvement or “one more system,” this episode will help you simplify your efforts, recognize Satan’s discouraging narratives, and move forward with doable, grace-filled progress toward your passion projects and eternal goals. 🔗 For deeper, gospel-centered training, visit: LazarusLectures.com – Marriage repair workshops & Lazarus Lectures LifeChangingServices.org – Eternal Warriors, self-mastery, and healing programs Created by faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but not officially affiliated with the Church.
