A Higher Joy

2025 was a great year so many amazing things happened. I am so grateful I did the podcast for 1 year stright. I felt a strong pull to do it. I am grateful I can look back on this yeat and know that I finished my goal but I am also not scared to change and start soemthing new or continue on what I previously have been working on and in this case I am going to start working on my book again and hope...

When we combine works, words, belief, and thoughts we can transfer for the world. We become new creatures, we become someone who God has created us to be. We begin to find purpose in everything that we do. Take a listen and find out how. A Higher Joy

Patriarchal blessings are such a gift and I am so gratful that I have been blessed to receive mine. They are able to help navigate you through life decisions, help you better understand what you were life in the pre-mortal life which is pretty amazing. I hope you take the time to listen and if you haven't received your blessing I would encourage you to get it. A Higher Joy

Most people don't fall away from the church by simply making one huge decision to leave. Majority of people fall away because they stop doing the small things. When we choose to act in faith even when logically it may not make sense we can know and understand that God keeps his promises to bless us when we keep his Commandments. Let us all just make one more better decision today so we can st...

When things seem so chaotic, frustrating, and hard sometimes you truly need to be knocked up on the side of the head to be reminded that Jesus does weep with us when we hurt, lonley, self critical, etc that he wants us to know that we cares for us. Try not to physicallt get his upside the head to learn this lesson but for me, something physical needed to happen to help me to understand this. A Hig...

When we choose to be honest two very important things happen. One we ourselves feel peace, and second we are showing God that we love him. Having intergiry in all that you do even when things would be so easy to lie about is so important to remain truthful. Having a business there are a lot of things that you could justify not paying beause truthfully some of the things business charge you for are...

Everday we make decisions! If you are a normal human being 95% of the time you make good decision throughout the day. We choose to get up, help our kids get ready, we go to work, we do the laundry, we eat food, we are honest, we are kind. Most of these are habits we have developed with time and we don't really have to get up everyday and ask ourselves, am I going to be kind today? But somethi...

Agency is one of the best gifts that we have been given, the choice to choose what we want in life is pretty divine and perfect. If we chose Satans plan then he would force us to do everything the way he wants us to do it. An analogy that I love is, you are walking down a path and its a good path, what the spirit does is invites us to turn on the path for more light and knowledge, the spirit doesn...

So grateful we went on our vacation. When  work would say you can’t leave but you family is needing you, it’s important to remember that sometimes you just need to leave and take time with your family. And the opportunities that come are far greater than what I would have guessed.  A Higher Joy

Our kids earned a trip to Florida for reading a certain amount of pages in the summer and I am so grateful they did.  Often times I think it’s easier to say something and not follow through, but I am so happy we followed through on this because keeping a commitment is so important even sometimes more important than the vacation.  Also remember that we are disciples of Jesus Christ at all times and...

In our life there are so many times where we fall, we make mistakes, we beat ourselves down and we can literally beat ourselves up to a point where we become mentally sick. This episode invites you to turn to the Savior and listen to him instead of the voices in our head. We are our worst critics and its so imortant to seek understanding from our mistakes, choose to be humble rather then prideful....

This is a quick reflection of what 30 mins of silence and being with my own thoughts can do. I feel like God really does know when we need a few minuets to just BE. Being present with ourselves allow God to intervene. He never gives us to much to handle and he gives us things that will help us grow but not overwhelm us. I love him for that. I am so grateful that I am a daughter of God!  A Higher J...

We are all learning on this earth and there will never be enough time to learn everything but we have the opportunity each day to make changes or try new things. This week what I learned was inviting people to try something, whether that be coming to church, going to an church activity, going to lunch, is giving people the oppoutunity to change and you will never know if that will be the turning p...

We discuss how Charlie Kirks Legacy of being a man of God was radiated through all areas of his life. He wasn't a man of business, or of debate, he was a man of Truth. We can all take a page from his book and evaluate our life to see if we are being the same person weather it is business, parenting, member of a church, a trade in work. Let us all walk a little straighter and understand that T...

What I am coming to discover is that feelings your feelings is good even if they are hard feelings. I felt a lot of Anger, disgust, frustrating this week and in the best I would have pushed in under the rug because I hate feelings those, and I feel like I am sinning if I do have those feelings. But what I have come to know is that if we allow ourselves to feel then we allow healing.  Also I took m...

A quick update on Ian and I's Journey with out new business and then a symbolic take away on how K-Pop Demon Hunters is preparing us for the second coming. We may be surrounded by demons and if we can remember that those demons only have power to to bruise our heal and we have Power to Crush their head then we win everytime. We have more power then we know and as we unveil our faces and have...

Often times I think our Heavenly Parents are mysterious not in a weird way but in a way that keeps us always asking questions, pondering on life and to help keep our testimony strong. God truly can be a tutor for our life if we allow him to. This episode is a bit of a journal entry of what happeing in the Brady Bunch house hold but I felt inspired to talk about that and that is where I think God i...

When we make the same mistake over and over and we keep beating ourselves us, our Savior wants us to turn to him because he forgives us second by second. What our Heavnely Parents care more about is, where do we fall when things get hard. Do we fall to them or do we turn to addiction, self hatred, sin, etc. The Savior always invites us to turn to him and we can change, and he can help us know wher...

As Sons and Daughters of our Heavenly Father we are allowed to draw upon the power of heaven to help us. We are all in need of more guidance, we all have questions, we all need help so lets utilize what God gave us. The power of the Priesthood is real and we can ask for blessings from worthy Men who hold the priesthood. Never shy away from asking for a blessing they are here to help us. The answer...

As children of God we are designed to create, experiment and grow in our own divine way. That is the beauty of each individual, we all have unique gifts and prespectives that give light and life to others. As we stay rooted in our Savior Jesus Christ and continue to graft good branches into our roots, we can produce good fruit. By their fruit ye shall know them, how true is that scripture. Another...

There are so many similarities between woman and trees. Tree's are grounded, they are firm, they are rooted, they have a taproot, they are beautiful, they create shelter, they provide food, they are always growing, they stand still, they comfort. If we think about a woman now we can say that all the same qualities of a tree resemble a woman. When we noursih out taproot (our Savior) and stay p...

Awake and Arise Put on thy Beautiful Garments oh Daughter of zion.  Awake, my sons, put on the armor if righteosness, shake off the chains with which ye are bound.  These two scriptures are invitaions to both man and woman to take upon ourselves the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are to be one with the Savior and as we become one with the Savior we can become one with our spouse. Being a fami...

When I think about Heaven, I think about people. If there was no one there to greet me that would be such a sad reunion. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I do have knowing that there is life after dealth and I get to live with my family and freinds forever.  Another great blessing is knowing that in whatever kingdom of glory we are in God doesn't leave us comfortless, he gives us Angel...

As we begin to truly understand that we are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother miracles begin to happen. We start to see how involved our parents really are in our life and as we continue to have spiritual moments with them we come to not only feel, but to see, touch, hear them. The moon is so symbolic of our Heavenly Mother who watches over us at night and gives us ligh...

Joy is such an incredicle emotion and one that should be felt more often. I often think sometimes we feel that its wrong to feel Joyful when all around us things are going wrong. But I am not talking about a joy that comes from going on the next vacation, or buying the next cool toy. I am talking about a peaceful joy that feels your heart and causes you to clap for joy. For me those feelings come...
