The Belief that Keeps You From the Blessing of Repentance
Send us a textWhat thought comes to mind when you hear the word repentance? For me, it has almost always been sin. Or more specifically, seeking forgiveness from sin. Is that what you thought?Well guess what? Repentance is actually a very diverse multifaceted word.Christ not only atoned for the sins that we will inevitably commit while we are on this Earth, he also atoned for our heartaches, burdens and pains of living in a fallen world. In today’s podcast we explore that definition and what it can mean to us when we apply it in multiple ways.

Rim to Rim, My Spiritual Experience: Part 1
Send us a textI LOVE a good challenge so I decided to plan and train to hike the Rim to Rim trail in the Grand Canyon. As I began to train, I heard the whisperings of the Spirit like I had before telling me I needed to share my journey.I have been putting it off and questioning whether anyone would be interested in my experience or if I would even have enough to share.So I decided to start exploring and letting the Spirit teach me what He wanted me to share.Immediately right off the bat I had 3 significant lessons I have learned so far in my 2 months of training.And that’s what I am going to share with you today.Download the worksheet to put these lessons into actionhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/episode-45Join the waitlist for the Spiritual Survival Course https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/spiritual-survival-courseSeeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelationMy entire store of Mental Health Products are on SALE for General Conference.

How Your Internal Battles Block Revelation
Send us a textWe all have a natural man inside of us. It is supposed to be there. The natural man is the opposition that was placed inside of you at the fall of Adam and Eve.YOU are not broken because you have the natural man, God placed it inside of you. It’s purpose is to allow you to have agency to choose God. But the goal isn’t to try to get rid of the natural man (that won’t happen in this life).It is to get to know HOW YOUR natural man is working against YOU.Elder Bednar said that, “Understanding the intent of an enemy is vital to effective preparation for possible attacks.”That enemy is the natural man. Listen in as I explain how to understand your natural man and how to combat it.Join the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching Programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelationSeeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelationFollow me on Instagram @nikiolsencoaching for daily inspiration and guidancehttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoachingMy entire store of Mental Health Products are on SALE for General Conference.

Being a Receiver of the Gospel, Not a Doer
Send us a textI discuss the pitfalls of being a doer and not a receiver in the Gospel in today's episode.Now you might be thinking what the heck is a receiver and a doer?I made those terms up because I have seen this phenomenon happen with many women I work with. I want to help you understand this phenomenon and how it can alter your perspective of the gospel. We all have a doer inside of us that wakes up and causes us to start treating the gospel like a checklistThe problem with this doer mentality is that you are trying to attain something that isn’t possible and will always feel like you are failing.Join us for the 5-Days to “Hear Him” Challengehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/hearhimSeeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelationFollow me on Instagram @nikiolsencoaching for daily inspiration and guidancehttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoachingMy entire store of Mental Health Products are on SALE for General Conference.

Heavenly Mother, can we talk about her?
Send us a textShow Notes: I have only been studying and learning about Heavenly Mother for the last few years. Prior to that, I had no idea how valuable it would be for me to learn of Her and find my divine nature and potential in her. Rutger Clawson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1898 until his death in 1943 stated, “It doesn’t take from the worship of our eternal father to adore our eternal mother anymore then it diminishes the love we have for earthly father to include our earthly mother in our affection rather we honor women when we acknowledge Godhood in her eternal prototype”I feel so much value in who I am and my divine potential as I read that quote. I hope you find that same value as you listen to today’s episodeJoin the Spiritual Survival Course waitlist for January 2022https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/ssc-waitlist-2022Click the link below to download today’s handout of all the amazing quotes from the episode.https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/episode-39A Mother There”: A Survey of Historical Teachings about Mother in Heavenhttps://byustudies.byu.edu/article/a-mother-there-a-survey-of-historical-teachings-about-mother-in-heaven/Follow me on Instagram @nikiolsencoaching for daily inspiration and guidancehttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoachingMy entire store of Mental Health Products are on SALE for General Conference.

The Power of a Relationship with Each Member of the Godhead
Send us a textWhy would I want to individually build a relationship with each member of the Godhead? If you are wondering that then listen as I discuss that teaching that each member has a unique power that is designed to benefit us in a specific way.M Russell Ballard said, “We must always remember that our true happiness depends upon our relationship with God, with Jesus Christ, and with each other.”It is important to remember these benefits and powers that each member of the Godhead provides so you can work on receiving them, utilizing them and building on them.
