  • Less Scared, More Prepared: A Conversation About the Second Coming with Therapist Katie Ball (Ep. 72)
    Nov 12 2025

    In this important conversation, therapist Katie Ball discusses the significant lies that affect mental health, emphasizing the importance of faith and the Atonement of Jesus Christ as a solution.

    She outlines practical strategies for overcoming feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and hopelessness, and differentiating between guilt and shame.

    Within our preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, which has been prophesied to be a great and dreadful day, Katie helps us all understand the reality of how fear and faith can co-exist in the same person at the same time- and why that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

  • Fasting: A Principle of Power and Preparation (Ep. 71)
    Nov 5 2025

    In this candid and spirit-filled conversation, Jenny and Lee explore the law of the fast—why it matters, why it’s hard, and how it prepares us to meet our Savior.

    With honesty and humor, they share personal experiences, scriptural insights from Isaiah 58 and Doctrine & Covenants 59, and counsel from prophets ancient and modern.

    Together they are reminded that fasting isn’t about deprivation—it’s an invitation to draw nearer to Christ through discipline, humility, and joyful sacrifice.

    Whether fasting is your favorite spiritual practice or your most challenging one, this episode will encourage you to see it not as “starving with a prayer,” but as a sacred opportunity to strengthen your discipleship, increase your power, and open the heavens in your life.
