Anchored

In this anchor point, Stephanie and Roseanne talk about the power of being remembered—and what it does to the human heart. Through examples from the scriptures and personal experiences, they explore how remembering someone by name, circumstance, or story helps people feel seen, valued, and loved. They discuss how moments of being remembered—whether through a simple word, a note, or a meaningful ge...

This anchor point is rooted in Elder William K. Jackson’s talk “Remembering the Sheep,” where he teaches the Lord’s pattern of accounting—not counting people as numbers, but knowing them as individuals. In the Lord’s kingdom, sheep are not managed in bulk; they are remembered one by one. Stephanie and Roseanne talk about how this principle applies directly to our stewardships—especially in preside...

Faith didn’t save Brandon from pain—it met him inside it. From a childhood marked by leukemia to adulthood shaped by uncertainty, unanswered prayers, and closed doors, Brandon learns that God’s silence is not absence. Jobs don’t come when asked. Healing doesn’t arrive on demand. Direction often comes only after the step is taken. As timelines stretch and fear presses in, quiet impressions begin to...

In this third Anchor Point inspired by Elder Gerrit W. Gong ’s message “No One Sits Alone,” we sit with a searching question: If someone is praying for a covenant keeper… would you be the one God sends? Roseanne and Stephanie share personal experiences of moments when they needed comfort—times when they needed someone to show up, to mourn with them, to sit with them, and to help carry what felt to...

In this Anchor Point conversation, we return to Elder Gerrit W. Gong’s message “No One Sits Alone” and explore a very present-day question: Who might be sitting alone while we scroll? Roseanne and Stephanie talk honestly about what authentic connection really looks like—and how it doesn’t come in just one form. Some of us connect by talking. Some connect quietly. Some reach out with words, others...

In this Anchor Point episode, we reflect on Elder Gong’s powerful message, “No One Sits Alone,” and ask an honest, heart-level question: There may be room for all—but is it safe to pull up a seat? Stephanie and Roseanne explore what it really looks like to sit with others in the Savior’s way—especially when the topics feel uncomfortable, tender, or controversial. Using Elder Gong’s invitation as a...

Mary Hailstone had always dreamed of serving God, but when she stepped onto her mission in Houston, the weight of fear, insecurity, and mental illness pushed her to the brink. One night, exhausted and hopeless, Mary found herself on the edge of ending her story forever. But Jesus was not finished with her. Through Spirit-led guidance, prayer, unexpected support, and the courage to seek help, she d...

In this Anchor Point conversation, Roseanne and Stephanie explore a simple but powerful question: What do you know of Jesus Christ? Life often brings questions we don’t have clear answers to—questions about our circumstances, our timing, our suffering, or the direction of our lives. In this episode, we talk about what it means to take those questions to the Lord, even when answers don’t come right...

In this anchor point, we wrestle with a powerful and timely question—and find peace in the answer. Drawing on Sheri Dew’s insight that “the prophet sees around corners,” we reflect on the profound blessing of having a living prophet in a world that often feels uncertain and unstable. We turn to the book of Moroni, where we are invited to hold fast to light, to cling to that which is good, and—agai...

In this anchor point, Sister Spannaus invites us to pause and honestly ask ourselves whether we are truly listening to the Lord’s prophets in our day. She encourages us to prepare our hearts to receive the words spoken in General Conference—not just in the moment, but long after the closing prayer. We talk about the power of returning to conference talks again and again, studying them prayerfully,...

Some love stories don’t begin with hope. They begin after it’s been broken. Dianne learned early that faith doesn’t always protect you from pain. Love came wrapped in promises that turned cruel, and prayer became less about answers and more about survival. Doug grew up in a quiet town with a loud kind of fear—where belief fractured under control, and escape felt like the only mercy. Years passed....

In this anchor point, we explore the powerful difference between trying to earn heaven and learning heaven. So often, we slip into believing that perfection is the requirement—that heaven is something we achieve through flawless performance. But the Lord’s plan was never built on us getting everything right. It was built on us continually turning to Jesus Christ. We dive into how repentance isn’t...

In this anchor point, we reflect on Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s teaching that trials are not evidence of God’s absence—but often evidence of His trust in us. Rather than weakening our faith, the challenges we’ve already walked through have strengthened us, refined us, and prepared us for what comes next. Together, we take time to look back and recognize how the Lord has been at work through previou...

Faith doesn’t stay alive by accident—it grows through practice. Elder Uchtdorf reminds us that when faith begins to sputter, the answer isn’t shame or withdrawal, but intentional discipleship: a renewed hunger to learn, to seek, and to practice turning toward the Lord. Faith is sustained as we actively engage—studying the scriptures, listening for His voice, and choosing again and again to trust H...

Misty’s life was unraveling. Addiction, homelessness, and heartbreak had pushed her to the edge. At her lowest, when the weight of guilt and despair seemed unbearable, Jesus whispered to her to run, to survive—and she did. Alone and searching for a way out, Misty experienced unexpected miracles: a stranger offering shelter, small acts of kindness that defied explanation, and the quiet guidance of...

If the Atonement were only for you—would Jesus Christ still have chosen to suffer? In Anchor Point #3 with Elder Eyre, we explore what it truly means to develop a personal relationship with the Savior, not just a general belief in Him. This conversation invites us to move beyond abstract faith and into a living, individual relationship where we come to know both who He is and who we are through Hi...

In this conversation with Elder Eyre, we explore the difference between quieting the mind and quieting the soul. Elder Eyre invites us to consider what it really means to quiet the soul—not by forcing silence, but by creating space to be with God.  As Stephanie and Roseanne reflected on his teaching, they discussed how spending intentional moments with God—including time in the scriptures—has the...

In Anchor Point #1 with Elder Eyre, we explore a foundational gospel question that shapes every decision we make—where we seek our validation. When we truly know who we are as sons and daughters of God, it changes how we listen, choose, and move forward in faith. This conversation focuses on learning to seek vertical validation rather than horizontal approval. Instead of measuring our worth by the...

He never planned to walk into that chapel. He certainly never planned to steal a Book of Mormon from a Marriott hotel. And he was the last person— the very last —who ever imagined he’d fall in love with the gospel he once mocked. But God has never been limited by the stories we tell about ourselves. From a childhood marked by rejection, to LGBTQ advocacy born from trauma and survival, to the momen...

How much faith does it really take for the Lord to work a miracle in our lives? In this anchor point from Elder Kearon’s talk, we explore a comforting truth: miracles are not reserved only for those who feel spiritually strong or perfectly consistent in scripture study, prayer, or temple attendance. What matters most is where our focus is—and when our focus is on Jesus Christ, that is enough. Some...

Have you ever wondered if you’ve messed up too many times for things to really change? In this Anchor Point episode, Stephanie and Roseanne reflect on a powerful message from Elder Kearon and sit with the honest question so many of us carry: How many times is too many? We talk about the Atonement of Jesus Christ as more than a reset button—it is the plan, the opportunity, and the gift that allows...

What if new beginnings aren’t rare moments—but daily invitations? In this anchor point conversation, Stephanie and I reflect on Elder Kearon’s General Conference message, “Jesus Christ and Your New Beginning,” and talk honestly about do-overs, grace, and what is truly possible through Jesus Christ. We explore the idea that new beginnings don’t just come once. They come every day. Every week. As of...

Jasmin has always chased the questions others are afraid to ask. Raised on the East Coast, with one side of her family rooted in Argentine Catholicism and the other in LDS pioneer tradition, she grew up in a home where scripture study started at 5 a.m., and curiosity was a way of life. As a teenager, her most pressing question was simple, yet profound: Does God exist? Hard conversations with frien...

In Anchor Point #3 of Be Reconciled to God, Elder Kelly R. Johnson uses the image of a cherry shaker to teach a powerful truth: life will try to shake us—but we do not have to be shakable. In this conversation, we focus on what makes us unshakable through our connection to Jesus Christ, and what choices can leave us more vulnerable to doubt and fear. Being shaken doesn’t mean we are weak—but what...

In this anchor point from Be Reconciled to God, we are reminded of Enos’s powerful experience with forgiveness. After wrestling before God, Enos asked a simple but eternal question: “How is it done?” The answer was clear—his sins were forgiven through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This moment anchors us back to the core of the gospel. Forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation do not come through o...
