    Come Follow Me: Fear Not, Trust God, and Let Christ Carry You with Kristen Smith

    What if reading Isaiah wasn't about understanding every symbol or verse, but about discovering a clearer picture of who Jesus Christ is? This week, Heather is joined by Coach Kristen Smith to discuss Isaiah 40–49 through the lens of life coaching. Together, they explore Isaiah's repeated invitations to "fear not," trust God, and recognize the ways Christ strengthens, carries, and stays with us through difficult seasons. Heather and Kristen discuss: How fear can become an invitation to trust and dwell with God What it means to intentionally "wait upon the Lord" How Isaiah describes Christ as a shepherd who gently carries His people Why covenants can be viewed as a sacred relationship of belonging with God How fear of differences can create distance in our relationships Why learning to listen to people who think differently can actually deepen connection You don't have to understand everything in Isaiah to find something meaningful there. Sometimes simply looking for Christ in the words can change what you see.

    Come Follow Me: Finding Rest, Peace, and the Spirit in Everyday Life with Jen Maher

    What if some of the sorrow, fear, and uncertainty we experience comes not from our circumstances, but from the thoughts we've learned to believe? This week, Heather is joined by life coach Jen Maher to explore Isaiah through the lens of coaching and everyday life. Starting with Isaiah's promise that the Lord can give us "rest from thy sorrow," Heather and Jen talk about what it means to recognize the influence of the Holy Ghost, find peace even when life feels chaotic, and question the thoughts that pull us away from who God tells us we are. In this episode, you'll hear: How recognizing peace can help us become more aware of the Spirit Why you don't have to believe every thought that enters your mind How thoughts influence our feelings, actions, results, and beliefs Why our worth in God's eyes doesn't rise and fall with our successes or failures How Isaiah's imagery of the desert blossoming like a rose can teach us about our own spiritual growth Heather and Jen also explore how coaching tools can help us better understand our brains, regulate our reactions, cultivate Christlike love, and become more intentional about the thoughts we choose to believe. As you study Isaiah this week, consider where God may be inviting you to find rest, question an old belief, or blossom into more of who He already knows you can become. And if you'd like support doing that work in your own life, visit LDSLifeCoaches.com to connect with a coach who can help.

    Come Follow Me: From "Woe Is Me" to "Here Am I" with Michelle Keil

    What if becoming more like the person God created you to be didn't require fighting against who you are right now? This week, Heather is joined by life coach Michelle Keil to explore Isaiah 1–12 through a coaching lens. Together, they pull practical lessons from Isaiah about the way we speak to ourselves, how we respond when life genuinely feels scary, and what it might look like to transform the patterns that once protected us rather than judging ourselves for having them. In this episode, Heather and Michelle discuss: The difference between seeing yourself clearly and condemning yourself for what you see How Isaiah 7:4 can teach us to find steadiness before allowing fear to make our decisions Why listening to our bodies can be an important part of receiving inspiration and navigating difficult circumstances How perfectionism, people pleasing, control, and overfunctioning may have once served a purpose What Isaiah's image of turning swords into plowshares can teach us about transforming old patterns instead of declaring war on ourselves Growth doesn't have to begin with "What's wrong with me?" It can begin with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to let God reshape what's already there. Listen in and discover what Isaiah might teach you about becoming more of who you already are.

    Come Follow Me: Trusting God When You Don't Know What Comes Next with Jenn Zingmark

    What does it really mean to "trust in the Lord with all thine heart" when life looks nothing like you expected? In this Come, Follow Me episode, Heather talks with LDS life coach Jenn Zingmark about the wisdom found in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and how these teachings can help us navigate uncertainty, difficult relationships, fear, grief, and unexpected seasons of life. Together, they explore: Why trusting God doesn't require knowing how everything will work out How focusing on your "next right step" can calm overwhelm and help you move forward Why faith and fear can coexist, and which one we can choose to act from How a "soft answer" can change difficult conversations without requiring us to ignore our real feelings Why grief deserves to be honored rather than rushed What Ecclesiastes teaches us about accepting the different seasons of our lives These scriptures remind us that life is not always perfect when we follow God, but it is better when we trust and follow Him. Heather and Jenn bring a coaching perspective to that invitation, showing what trust, intentional communication, and acceptance can look like in everyday life. Listen in and discover how these ancient words of wisdom can become practical tools for whatever season you are navigating right now.

    297. Come Follow Me: You Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made with Karen Papin

    What if one of the most powerful ways to quiet comparison, anxiety, and self-doubt is to remember how God sees you? This week, Heather is joined by life coach Karen Papin to explore Psalms 102–103; 110; 116–119; 127–128; 135–139; 146–150 through a life coaching lens. The Come, Follow Me lesson centers on praise, trusting God through suffering, following His path, and remembering that He knows our hearts. Heather and Karen explore what those truths can look like in our everyday emotional lives. In this episode, they discuss: How praise and gratitude can train our brains to notice the ways God is already showing up in our lives Why being present with difficult emotions can bring greater peace and clarity How prayer and connection with God can help us find calm when we feel emotionally overwhelmed What Psalm 139 teaches us about being fully known and still fully loved by God Why comparison itself may not be the problem, but what we make that comparison mean about ourselves The importance of receiving love instead of always being the one who gives Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows our thoughts, weaknesses, mistakes, strengths, and potential, and still sees us with wonder. As you study Come, Follow Me this week, consider this question: What might change if you could see yourself the way God sees you?

    Come Follow Me: What David Teaches Us About Feeling Our Feelings with Alicia Davis

    What if the emotions you're trying so hard not to feel aren't actually a problem to solve? This week, Heather is joined by life coach and seminary teacher Alicia Davis to explore the Psalms and what David's words can teach us about experiencing the full range of human emotion. The Psalms give us something we don't always see so openly in scripture: people expressing fear, grief, worry, hope, joy, and everything in between. Through a coaching lens, Heather and Alicia discuss what happens when we stop judging our emotions and instead get curious about what they're trying to teach us. They also look at Psalm 49 and offer a new perspective on comparison. Rather than allowing comparison to lead to shame or jealousy, what if we used it to discover something about ourselves? In this episode, you'll learn: Why feeling difficult emotions can help us move forward instead of keeping us stuck How naming and understanding emotions can build emotional resilience What the Psalms can teach us about recognizing how the Spirit speaks to us How curiosity can interrupt a comparison spiral Why comparison might reveal something you want, need, or feel called to pursue The Psalms remind us that experiencing emotion is part of being human and part of becoming who God created us to be. Listen in and discover how allowing, naming, and learning from your emotions can deepen both your emotional and spiritual growth. Download her Spirit Wheel HERE.
