Blue eyes. Blue jeans. And a knock at the door. In a world where truth can feel disguised and deception wears a friendly face, how do we tell the difference? This week we talk about President Dallin H. Oaks’ powerful devotional and why the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost is no longer optional — it’s essential. From AI confusion to Civil War history to soda-fueled humility at the gas station, we laugh, we learn, and we lean hard into the basics: prayer, scripture study, service, patience, and turning to Christ.

This Week's Challenge
Stop saying we should pray and study more — decide that we must seek Christ daily and intentionally invite the Holy Ghost to guide our lives.

In this episode, Cydni and Sher dive into what the Founders believed it really takes to remain free: homes where the scriptures are opened, families who pay attention to current events, and schools that teach children how to think and govern themselves. Blending American history, scripture, and real-life parenting, they explore why freedom doesn’t sustain itself—it must be taught, practiced, and passed on. This episode is "Where Liberty is Found" and we are so glad you are here!

This Week's Challenge
We challenge you to increase your appreciation for the education available in our modern time, and above all, to connect yourself to God so you can have the spirit of discernment with you as you read and learn.

In this episode, Cydni and Sher discuss God’s command to teach our children and what that really looks like in real life — shower curtains, messy days, and all. Drawing from Elder Taniela B. Wakolo’s talk “God Loves His Children,” they explore three ways God parents us: through relationships, through prophets, and through loving correction. They talk honestly about grace, consequences, guilt versus shame, and the importance of co-parenting with God. Ultimately, they remind us that we teach best when we love first, point children to the Savior, and trust God with the rest. This episode is "Teach with Grace and a Backbone" and we are so glad you are here!

This Week's Challenge
This week, prayerfully identify one youth in your life who needs extra love and intentionally do something meaningful to help them feel seen, valued, and cared for.

What does it really mean to have a divine identity—and is it something we’re simply born with, or something we choose? In this episode, we explore what it means to be a child of God, why agency matters, and how choosing Christ shapes who we become. Through scripture, conference teachings, and honest conversation, we talk about belonging, becoming one with God, and why our divine identity is the foundation of the plan of happiness—even on the messy, imperfect days.

This Week's Challenge
This week, choose to live like you are God’s child, trusting that He can work with you exactly as you are.

We’re sticking to the basics this year, and it doesn’t get more basic—or more important than this: who we are and why we’re here. In this episode we talk about creation, eternal life, and divine identity. Along the way, there’s laundry, meetings in heaven, and a reminder that no matter how basic we feel, we are truly His sons and daughters. This episode is "Created with Purpose," and we are so glad you are here!

This Week's Challenge
This week, create something—small or simple—and do it intentionally as a reminder that you are a child of an eternally creative God.

Have you ever met someone who felt instantly familiar—or heard music, smelled something, or recognized truth in a way that felt deeper than logic? In this episode, Cydni and Sher go back to the basics and explore the idea of the pre-existence: where we came from, why truth feels familiar, and how cultures, philosophers, and prophets across history have asked the same questions. With humor, honesty, and a whole lot of heart, they talk Plato, world religions, President Uchtdorf, the Light of Christ, and why remembering home might be the key to peace, hope, and joy on this journey. This episode is, "Why Truth Feels Familiar to the Soul" and we are so glad you are here!

This Week's Challenge
This week, notice what feels deeply familiar—truth, beauty, peace, or goodness—and choose to lean into that light instead of dismissing it.

After a full year of studying joy, happiness, and what really makes life meaningful, we thought it was time to pause and reflect. In this episode, we recap the lessons that stuck with us most—from faith and service to relationships, purpose, gratitude, and even those desert seasons we’d rather skip. Backed by scripture, science, and real life (plus a few laughs), this conversation is a reminder that happiness isn’t something you stumble into—it’s something you practice, pursue, and build one choice at a time. This episode is "What We Learned About Happiness After a Year of Chasing Joy" and we are so glad you are here!

This Week's Challenge
This week, choose one small habit—gratitude, service, or connection—and practice it daily as an intentional act of pursuing joy.

New year, new storms, same question: how do we find joy? Sher and Cydni take a page from General Patton—yes, the tough-as-nails WWII general—and his three-step formula: Plan. Work. Pray. From battlefield weather prayers to everyday chaos, we explore how preparation, effort, and faith can turn life’s storms into victories…with a little humor along the way. This episode is, "Plan, Work, Pray" and we are so glad you are here!

This Week's Challenge
Make a plan, put in the effort, and invite God into what you can’t control.
