    S1.E29: How to Respond When a Loved One Leaves Their Faith, Difficult Conversation With Christian Courage | Part 2 with Jared Halverson

    How do we respond when someone we love leaves the Church?How can believers and former believers speak to each other with honesty without hatred?Can interfaith dialogue exist inside families, friendships, and marriages? In the second half of this conversation with Jared Halverson, we discuss one of the most emotional and difficult realities many people face today: navigating relationships when faith changes. Jared also shares his powerful and moving testimony at the end of this episode. It is my hope that this conversation will give us all more tools to be more effective peacemakers in helping one another come unto Christ. Talk by Robert D.

    S1.E28: Faith, Criticism & the “Cult” Question | with Jared Halverson part 1

    In this episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with Jared Halverson for a conversation about LDS faith, criticisms, and the media portrayals of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He dives into the tactics of the antagonistic points of view and how we can respond to take advantage of the unique "Mormon Moment" we are living in. This part 1 is especially useful if you are getting into conversations with others about cults and how to respond if someone accuses you of being in one. This episode is being split into 2 parts, the second will be released separately. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist To contact me email: lauren.befaithful@gmail.com Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/thrive License code: DQPKTZFA0CUZARSW

    S1.E26: What Most People Get Wrong About Joseph Smith | with church historian Ronald Barney.

    What really happens when you spend decades studying Joseph Smith? In this episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with historian Ron Barney, who has dedicated nearly 50 years to researching the life and teachings of Joseph Smith—including his work on the Joseph Smith Papers Project. We dive deep into some of the most asked (and often misunderstood) questions: Did studying Joseph Smith ever challenge his faith?What is the truth about polygamy and early Church history?How should we approach difficult or controversial topics?Can you study everything—and still believe? I learned so much in this conversation, I am so excited to share it with you. Ron's testimony and knowledge is refreshing and faith strengthening.

    In this Easter-focused episode we dive into the final hours of Jesus Christ's life and explore the sacred path known as the Via Dolorosa—the road He walked from condemnation to crucifixion through Jerusalem. Joined by author Dr. Trina Boice, we discuss the historical, spiritual, and deeply symbolic significance of this path, often called “The Way of Suffering.” Together, we reflect on what Jesus endured—His trial before Pontius Pilate, the crown of thorns, carrying the cross, His falls, and ultimately His crucifixion and resurrection.

    S1.E24: Signs of the Second Coming: Are we witnessing Prophecy & the Last Days? | Jared Davies from Christian Homestead

    Are we living in the last days? What signs of the Second Coming have already been fulfilled—and which ones are still ahead? In this episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with Jared Davies from the Christian Homestead YouTube channel to discuss the signs of the times, prophetic interpretations, and how modern prophets help us understand scripture. We explore fulfilled prophecies, the mysterious 144,000, events unfolding in Israel, preparations for a future temple in Jerusalem, and why many signs of the Second Coming may happen more naturally than we expect. Rather than predicting dates, this conversation focuses on paying attention and keeping your eyes open to what is happening around you and the world right now.

    S1.E23: The War on Children and Preserving the Family | Reaction to BYU Speech "Why Children Became Useless"

    If children are ‘useless,’ then what does that say about how we define worth? In this episode, we talk about the profound blessing of raising children — including children with disabilities — and why their lives are never a burden, never “less than,” and never without purpose. We also react to the powerful Brigham Young University speech, “Why Children Became Useless,: Faith and the Future of the Family” and unpack what our culture gets wrong about the value of children. Children are not useful because of what they produce. They are valuable because of who they are. This conversation will challenge you, soften you, and remind you what really matters. Motherhood doesn’t make life smaller. It makes it sacred.🤍✨ Link to BYU Talk: https://news.byu.edu/intellect/why-children-became-useless-faith-and-the-future-of-the-family Link to Neal L Anderson Talk: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/04/21andersen?lang=eng For more information visit: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=engorWebsite: https://www.ComeUntoChrist.orgTo contact Be Faithful email: lauren.befaithful@gmail.com Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/thrive License code: FMIVPSJJEHFW0ABE
