Meeting Jesus Christ in His Holy House: A Place of Refuge, Relationship, and Preparation (Ep. 63)

In this episode, Jenny and Lee dive into the vital role of temples in preparing to meet Jesus Christ—both now and at His Second Coming.

Drawing on powerful teachings from President Nelson and other Church leaders, they explore why temple worship is more than ordinances and beautiful buildings. The temple is a place of refuge, revelation, and covenantal strength that helps us live in daily relationship with our Savior.

Together, they discuss personal journeys of growing testimonies of the temple, the promises tied to temple worship, and practical ways to deepen our preparation—starting with temple recommend questions, heartfelt prayer, and regular covenant living.

Whether you live close to a temple or far away, this conversation will inspire you to see the temple as a place to meet Christ today and build the confidence to meet Him when that sacred moment comes.
