As this week wraps up, I’m reflecting on the close of another Pathways Institute term and some remarkable experiences I’ve shared with my West African students. What does it mean to truly exercise faith? I dive into the story of the man with palsy from Mark 2, exploring what it might have felt like to be asked by Jesus to rise, pick up his bed, and walk. Would you leap up boldly—or would you be tentative, testing your strength with each small movement?

This episode is all about those pivotal moments when our faith is called into action—sometimes boldly, sometimes with caution. I share my thoughts on the leap from uncertainty to confident trust, wondering how each of us would step out if we were in that man's place. Where do you fall on the spectrum between cautious faith and bold, ambitious belief?

I’d love to hear about your own experiences with faith—how do you take those first steps when there are no guarantees? And as always, if you have feedback or want to share your thoughts, reach out. Let’s keep digging into the sweet, faith-filled moments that make life so delicious.

This week, I’m back in my own space after a whirlwind of travel, and I’m reflecting on what it means to find stability when everything seems to change at lightning speed. From airport delays to marathon mountain climbs, this episode dives deep into the unexpected twists that life throws our way, and how a steady, guiding presence can make all the difference.

At the center of our conversation is Elder Holmes’ talk, “Jesus Christ Is the Way.” I share a personal story about my friend CJ, who is blind, and the remarkable systems and support (including a sighted guide) that allow him to navigate life’s challenges. But what if Christ isn’t just the guide—what if He’s actually the path itself? This idea has me asking how we lean into His support and access the comfort and assurance only He can offer, especially when plans fall apart. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences—how do you hold onto your Guide when life takes an unexpected turn?

Join me as we unpack these questions, and let’s keep moving forward, holding on to the Savior who’s more than a guide—He’s the very way through every mountain and marathon we face.

This week, we're talking about the power and discomfort of making decisions—big or small. Ever noticed how being out of your element or off your routine can throw off your sense of control? That happened to me this week while traveling, and it made me think deeply about how we handle choices when life feels unsettled.

The heart of this episode is a raw look at the idea that our greatest power lies in choosing for ourselves. Too often, we avoid decisions, hoping life will sort itself out, or we surrender our authority by letting others (or our own Rationalizer voice) decide for us. What actually happens when we don't choose? Is "not to decide" really a decision in itself? These questions shaped my week—and this conversation.

If you've ever felt stuck between options or intimidated by the pressure to get it “right,” this episode is for you. My challenge for you this week: make a decision, no matter the size, and feel the momentum that comes from moving forward. And if you want to dig deeper into the philosophy of decision-making—or even disagree with me about whether not to decide is to decide—reach out. Let’s get ambitious together.
