Dave and Julie had six kids in three years: triplets, twins, and a baby boy. As parents, this couple's journey has been filled with joys and triumphs—many of which they struggle to remember in the blur of it all—as well as tears and feelings of inadequacy. But as their triplets turn eight and are baptized, the couple reflects on one of their greatest learning moments: that of true submission to what God is willing to give. “God does not care about my identity as a former runner, as a former professor, or any of those things. The identity that He cares most about is, Am I a follower of Jesus Christ? Do I take care of my fellow man?” Show Notes:  2:34- As Many As He’ll Send 6:34- 6 Kids In 3 Years 13:03- Sent To An Extended Family 18:50- Get Behind Me 25:44- Converted To Motherhood 31:02- A Mother’s Presence 36:32- Forever Changed 48:31- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

In his April 2021 general conference talk, President Dallin H. Oaks made a simple yet profound statement: "On contested issues, we should seek to moderate and unify." In a world that often feels so divided, coming together can feel close to impossible. But Judge Thomas B. Griffith, who was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals in 2005, is a believer that it is possible and the "how" is found within the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this week's episode, Judge Griffith discusses how to bring that gospel perspective as we engage in our communities. "Our political allegiances need to be way down the list in terms of importance. Our allegiance to the Savior and His work needs to be at the top of the list."

Taylor Ricks has often taken comfort in not just the stars of scripture stories, but also those characters who are so quietly present that we may not even notice them. Perhaps it’s because she has never felt like the star of the show herself. Or because there have been moments where she has wished no one would notice her at all. Unnamed scripture heroes have become trusted friends to Taylor—friends who have gotten her through incredibly difficult times. On this week’s episode, Taylor introduces us to a few of these friends and shares why they matter so much to her. “For me, the first part of being all in the gospel of Jesus Christ is finding Christ all in His gospel.”  Show Notes:  2:09- The Lad With the Loaves and Fishes 4:55- Quiet Heroes 8:09- Through the Breaking 12:26- Sitting With Others 15:12- The Target of Racism and Bullying 21:31- The People Who Prayed for Alma the Younger 25:24- Adoption and Being Chosen 30:47- Inclusion at Church 35:27- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

In April 2011, Elder David A. Bednar made an analogy in general conference of light switches and sunrises to personal revelation and receiving the Lord’s guidance in our lives. This landmark talk inspired Latter-day Saints everywhere in how they seek and recognize Heavenly Father’s presence in their lives. In the years since that address, Elder Bednar has spoken around the world about personal revelation. As he’s done so, he’s heard one question from Church members more than any other: “How do I know if it’s me or the Spirit?” In this week’s episode, we hear Elder Bednar’s answer to this question and discuss other thoughts related to the principles of revelation.  “You don’t have to do it all in one day—a little bit every day with God’s help.”  Show Notes:  1:42- Academic Learning Vs.

Former Young Women General President Ardeth Kapp and her husband Heber went through a lot during their 67 years of marriage before Heber passed away in May 2017. They worked together as president and matron of the Cardston Alberta Temple, were mission leaders of the Canada Vancouver Mission, and dedicated their lives to serving God in every calling in between. The Kapps also faced plenty of ups and downs in their marriage as they struggled with infertility and were never able to have children. In this episode, we speak with Ardeth about true partnership in marriage and learn from her example of how to choose faith and grace through thick and thin. “We need to be able to reinforce that statement of love and not just assume, ‘We’re getting along okay, we don’t have to repeat it.’ Yes we do have to repeat it!”  Show Notes 2:36- Dreaming of Ironing Clothes and Learning to be Obedient 6:10- "What Did We Learn from It?" 7:44- Infertility and Unforeseen Opportunities 12:24- How Does He See It?  13:30- Three Pieces of Advice 17:31- Treasured Letters 22:41- Giving Space and Letting Spouse Fly 25:46- Observing Qualities in Other Marriages 28:58- Never Alone 32:36- What Does It Mean to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Find the full episode transcript at ldsliving.com/allin.

Ronell Hugh has done marketing for some of the most well-known companies in the US, including Adobe, Walmart, HP, and Microsoft. His professional position and personal identity—first as a child of God and second as a Black Latter-day Saint—have given him a unique perspective on President Russell M. Nelson’s October 2020 call for Church members to “lead out in abandoning attitudes and actions of prejudice.” On this week's episode, we talk with Ronell about how we can each respond to the prophet's call and why he believes we shouldn't give up in our efforts to promote respect for all of God’s children. "This is about eternal Heavenly Father correctness, not worldly political correctness."

Moana Wolfgramm was just 12 years old when she and The Jets released their debut album through MCA records—an album that would produce top 10 charting songs and ultimately go platinum. She and her siblings were truly living the dream as they traveled the world and performed on some of the world’s biggest stages. But by the time Moana was 17, fame had taken a toll on her family and she felt as if they were already has-beens. As she tried to find herself again and the Wolfgramms had to decide if family was more important than money, Moana says one thing kept her grounded—her faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. “We had a big home and lots of cars and things but we weren’t quite a family. And now we’ve swapped it and realized that if you put family first and you put the Lord first, then everything else kind of finds its place."

Latter-day Saints may best recognize Russell Osguthorpe's name from his time as Sunday School general president. But they may not know he has a background in psychology and was serving as a stake president when he noticed that healthy attachment could be developed in relationships as long as a desire for improvement existed. Since then, he has been devoted to better understanding attachment theory from an academic, clinical, and spiritual perspective. In this week's episode, in honor of Valentine's Day, we'll discuss the importance of developing healthy attachments with God and with those around us. "We need to come to know God as He knows us. And we need to come to know His children as He knows His children. When we do that, we will be attached and [that attachment is] stronger than a relationship or a connection."

When Kerry Muhlestein received a PhD in Egyptology from UCLA, he had no plans to research the Book of Abraham. But when people kept asking him about the scripture’s origins, he decided to devote his time to finding the answers. Years later, Dr. Muhlestein is considered an expert on all things Old Testament and the Pearl of Great Price. He joins us on this week’s episode to help us get excited for this year’s Come, Follow Me study. “If you lose faith in the Restoration, you have lost—in some ways—everything. Of course, you can believe in Christ and not believe in the Restoration, but believing in Christ, in the way He is taught to us through the Restoration, gives us a chance for an exaltation and a peace in this life and a joy in this life that really isn't possible any other way.”   Show Notes 1:36- Egyptology 5:53- Historicity of Scripture 8:55- Symbolism 14:36- Finding God in the Old Testament 18:45- Getting the Most Out 20:43- Being Okay With Ambiguity 25:55- Lost Manuscripts 33:01- Witnesses 34:05- Translation 40:18- Evidence of Truth? 47:39- Book of Moses 48:55- What Do We Have To Gain? 51:37- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
