In this episode, Jasmin Rappleye and I dive into the purpose and meaning behind the temple endowment and initiatory. We discuss why God uses symbolism, what ancient ritual teaches us about temple worship, the covenants we make, and why spiritual preparation matters before entering the temple. Whether you’re preparing to go for the first time or simply wanting a deeper understanding of temple worship, this conversation is meant to bring more context, clarity, and appreciation to something deeply sacred.

What does it look like to grow, dream, and build a beautiful life with God… without getting trapped in toxic perfectionism?

This week, I’m joined by Lizzy Jensen for an honest conversation about personal growth, goal setting, and learning how to catch God’s vision for your life. We talk about aligning your ambitions with Christ, creating systems that actually help you grow, and why the gospel of Jesus Christ doesn’t hold women back but it equips us to become! If you’ve been craving more purpose, more direction, or more confidence in the season you’re in, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to grow with God.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Jenet Erickson, BYU professor and researcher whose work on family, motherhood, and child wellbeing has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Today Show, to have a deeper conversation about the doctrine, culture, and research surrounding gender roles.

Is there room for the career-driven woman in the gospel?
What does “presiding” actually mean?
Are men and women truly equal in the Church?
And why do prophetic messages surrounding men and women sometimes sound different across generations?

Truly, this became one of my favorite episodes I’ve ever recorded. No matter your gender, season of life, or circumstance, I promise this conversation will leave you thinking more deeply about your divine role and identity.
