Sharla Goettl: How Temple Covenants Quiet Fear and Unlock Confidence

Hosted by Cassidy Beck | Verses & Visions: Creative Conversations

What if the answers to our deepest fears were already written into the promises God has made with us?

In this tender and wisdom-filled episode, Cassidy sits down with author, seminary teacher, and lifelong youth leader Sharla Goettl to explore how temple covenants aren’t just symbolic rituals — they are practical, powerful anchors for everyday life.

From wrestling with self-doubt and not feeling “good enough,” to learning how covenant living increases spiritual confidence, Sharla shares how scripture study, temple worship, and intentional discipleship have transformed the way she sees herself — and the way she sees others.

Together, Cassidy and Sharla talk about faith, influence, imposter syndrome, youth leadership, and how covenant promises help us become more effective in every role we care about most: parent, creator, teacher, friend, and disciple.

This episode is a gentle reminder that God isn’t negotiating against our desires — He’s guiding us toward the truest version of ourselves.

If you’ve ever wondered how temple covenants apply to real life or struggled with feeling “not enough,” this conversation will meet you right where you are.

🌿 In This Episode, We Talk About:

• How temple covenants answer our most common human fears

    💛 A Personal Takeaway

• One of the most beautiful moments in this conversation is Sharla’s reminder that we don’t have to choose between what we want and what God wants. Our Heavenly Father already knows our deepest desires — and His plan is designed to fulfill them, not restrict them.

  Covenants aren’t about limitation. They’re about becoming.
