Sean and Brian reunite with their co-host from season one, John Gonzalez to conclude season two of the podcast with their 100th episode.

Each of these former mission leaders share their parting counsel to return missionaries to help them in their quest to be lifelong disciples.

As you press forward, remember this inspired counsel from President Nelson: "Brothers and sisters, now is the time for you and me to prepare for the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Now is the time for us to make our discipleship our highest priority."

Do you ever wonder what is and what isn't church doctrine?

Would you like to better understand how to analyze something unsettling you have heard about church history?

Do you want to improve your ability to follow modern prophets?

If so, you are a latter-day seeker!

Anthony shares a transformative way to approach our seeking by being focused on faith, hope, and charity as opposed to their opposites fear, doubt, and pride.

He concludes with some powerful insights about what it can look like to live the temple covenant of consecration after your mission in the normal flow of life.

Do you find yourself doing anything possible to avoid pain? If so, you're not alone.

The problem is that happiness does not come from avoiding pain, rather it comes from trying to find meaning in the pain that we inevitably experience in life.

Join us as we talk about how to transcend pain and suffering through Jesus Christ with therapist Ron Squire.

Ron uses his extraordinary story of falling off a cliff while on a p-day excursion on his mission in Puebla, Mexico and its aftermath to teach powerful principles about how to find meaning in pain.

Quoting Jesus Christ, Carl Jung, Victor Frankl, C.S. Lewis, and even Wesley from The Princess Bride, Ron provides deep insights that you will not want to miss.

As you listen to this transformative episode, consider someone who is experiencing pain and suffering that you can share it with. It could change their life!

How are your efforts to continue to gather Israel since you have been home from your mission? Are you finding that it is harder than you thought it would be?

“Often, we women don’t realize that the power through which we accomplish ‘much good’ in our callings and in our homes is an expression of priesthood power. As a matter of fact, all the good that is done in the world is done through God’s power. . . . Knowing that women have access to that priesthood power strengthens us to be able to do what is asked in whatever responsibilities or assignments are ours.”

Jean B. Bingham, “Endowed with Power” (Brigham Young University Women’s Conference, May 2019)

In the talk “The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood,” Elder Dallin H. Oaks states, “We are not accustomed to speaking of women having authority of the priesthood in their Church callings, but what other authority can it be?”

Reyna Aburto (former 2nd Counselor in the General Relief Society Presidency, Institute teacher) Kathryn Davis (Institute teacher and host of the Magnify Podcast from Deseret Book) and Stephanie Kelly (Institute teacher), all current teachers at the Utah Valley Institute, discuss the power of the priesthood and how it applies to both men and women. Using quotes from current prophets and church leaders, these sisters will open your eyes to the strength and power God gives to all of His children who make and keep covenants with Him.

In the mission field it can seem like 80% of your life is in order and 20% is in chaos. When you get home those percentages often flip and you find yourself trying to re-discover a life of order in all the new chaos.

TJ Faamausili (Seminary teacher, This.is.Kingdom co-host) joins the podcast after being home from his mission for 6 years. He tells his story of a difficult initial transition home and how he was able to eventually create order, live in purpose, and be intentional about building relationships, including the most important relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
