enLIGHTen

We had a wonderful kind of mission reunion today with guests Saren Loosli and Deborah Dushku who were both Sister missionaries in Bulgaria when I first joined the church  Within the context of missionary work and the gathering of Israel We talked about what it means to create a feeling of belonging in our community of faith. Much of that connection begins as we learn & remember how deeply and belovedly we belong to Jesus Christ. From there our love for God and others grows exponentially.

So much Joy and Jesus on our podcast today with guests John Hilton III and Lani Hilton as we talked about the our celebrations of Christ's atonement at Easter Sunday, Palm Sunday, Thomas Sunday and every Sunday.
 
There is so much to be gleaned about the and nature of our LIVING LOVING Savior as we ponder and talk and sing and testify of the events surrounding His sacrifice and resurrection . "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"

What a profound and joyful Holy Week discussion today with Shima Baughman.
We discussed the power of God's love to save through our willingness to turn, to hold on & to receive Him . We can't always see our way clear of how things will work out. But, when underwater it is enough to just hold on to Him until we are pulled clear.
He is risen with Healing in His Wings . His blood and His love turns back death and all darkness protecting, healing and lifting us with Him

What a fun hour today with Amanda @oil.in.my.lamp & Susan Stilovich @sstilovich as We talked about the the kinds of hugs that only God can give and what it means to connect to Him, to be with Him & to be loved by Him through our prayers

What a sacred spirit this morning with these two wonderful women Cindy Beattie and Mabel Boone . We talked about Guardian Angels God's covenant connection Finding and feeling after Him in His temple and His never-ending Light in our lives

What a remarkable light-filled morning on enLIGHTen with fellow artist Kate Lee as we got to talk about all the ways God lifts us, delivers us and infuses us with His light. Light isn't a competition, it's celestial collaboration. As we each get to hold light and share it in our own unique way it grows brighter and brighter until the day we get to thank Him in person. Every day til then it's enough to know: He is with us, He is for us & aint no shadow gonna keep that light from shining!

The Spirit of God like a Fire was burning during our discussion today with Clark and Kathleen Hinckley. We talked about the art "Gleam and Gather" in connection with President Russell M Nelson's talk "The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again". So many wonderful thoughts, stories, miracles & mercies we are seeing from both sides of the veil as angels come to visit and the earth and its people are prepared to receive their King

Why does God call us to go into the wilderness from time to time?
 
Yes it's to grow, to learn, and to gain experience. But, today on enLIGHTen my good friend Yarley Varley joined me talk about the INCREDIBLE JOY that is to be found there as well. Jesus went there first, and when we find Him there waiting for us and walking with us we begin to feel His Remarkable, Unassailable JOY which nothing can take away!

What a heartfelt and moving story of light, healing and learning to trust in God with Steven Sharp Nelson today. Life is not easy It's filled with difficulties and trials that test our trust. But leaning on Jesus makes it a whole lot easier. We let Him take the wheel and keep our feet one step at a time knowing He's not about to ever let go or lead us anywhere other than into His wondrous light

What a delightful hour today with two of my favorite musicians Jenny Oaks Baker & Hannah Baker. We talked about developing our gifts for God and how God often Orchestrates things in amazing ways that are so different than what we expected or planned for. And yet they outshine anything we could plan and teach us so much about God's wonderful mercy and divine design. Also a little bonus about the Hallel or song Jesus & his apostles may have sung at the Last Supper which one day would inspire Handel's Messiah
