Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt guilty for saying no, even when you’re exhausted, this conversation is for you. We’re digging into one of the hardest tensions in Christian living: how to show real charity without being taken advantage of, and how to love like Jesus Christ without losing yourself in endless demands. We start with a simple but freeing idea: charity is not people pleasing. The pure love of Christ doesn’t mean letting others misuse you, ignoring unhealthy patterns, or...

Send us Fan Mail The world feels like it’s accelerating, and not always in a good way. Wars flare up, families strain, truth gets treated like a preference, and technology races ahead faster than our ability to process it. When you feel that tension, it’s easy to ask, “Are these the signs of the Second Coming?” I take that question head-on, and I frame the signs the way the Savior does: not as a code to crack for a date, but as an invitation to prepare with faith. I walk through several majo...

Send us Fan Mail Comfort isn’t always a blessing. Sometimes it’s the quiet condition that puts our spiritual life to sleep while we’re busy feeling “fine.” We dig into a danger that rarely announces itself: spiritual apathy that grows through ease, distraction, and just enough routine to keep us going through the motions without real connection to God. We walk through the Book of Mormon pattern of the pride cycle and why prosperity can create the illusion that we no longer need the Lord. Fro...

Send us Fan Mail Truth didn’t get weaker, but the pressure to treat it like a preference has never been louder. We sit with a hard question: why is it so difficult to stand for eternal truth in a culture that keeps insisting truth is negotiable? I walk through why objective truth matters, why “your truth” can quietly become a trap, and why aligning our lives to truth is the opposite of the modern message to adjust truth until it fits. From there, we talk about the real battle underneat...

Send us Fan Mail The hardest seasons of life can make you wonder if God has gone quiet or if you did something wrong. We go straight at that fear by walking through the Book of Job and the idea of the refiner’s fire: what if your suffering is not proof of abandonment, but a setting where God is shaping something holier in you? Job is called “perfect and upright,” yet he still loses nearly everything. That alone dismantles the myth that righteousness guarantees comfort, and it opens a better q...

Send us Fan Mail A tiny spiritual nudge can feel easy to dismiss, until you realize it might have been the exact help someone needed. I’m Todd, and I’m digging into a principle that has shaped my life: when we act on promptings from the Holy Ghost, we become more able to receive personal revelation. When we postpone, rationalize, or ignore those impressions, we can miss specific blessings and slowly lose spiritual sensitivity, even if we still have full agency to choose. We connect the dots ...

Send us Fan Mail When your “instruments” fail in the clouds, your body can swear you’re level while you’re actually turning into danger. I open with a real C-130 cockpit moment where two attitude indicators disagreed and the only way to survive was to trust the right reference. Then I connect that to modern spiritual life: identity confusion, anxiety, outrage culture, distraction, and dopamine addiction can make truth feel optional and emotions feel like facts. The anchor is a warning and a ...

Send us Fan Mail Memorial Day can feel like a holiday on the calendar until you’ve watched a grieving unit file onto an aircraft and stand over flag-draped coffins. I’m Todd, and I wanted to slow down and treat this day with the reverence it deserves, drawing from my time flying C-130s and carrying fallen service members on their first leg home. Those memories shaped how I see the American flag, why certain “debates” hit the heart differently, and why remembrance is never abstract when you’ve...

Send us Fan Mail What if one of the clearest lessons about God doesn’t come from a pulpit, but from a battlefield? We take a fresh look at George Washington and the word he returned to again and again: providence. Not luck. Not vibes. The steady belief that God’s hand can guide outcomes even when the situation looks impossible. We connect Washington’s story to LDS doctrine and modern revelation, especially how God speaks through the mind and heart in quiet impressions rather than constant sp...

Send us Fan Mail “Tithing is fire insurance” might be one of the most repeated lines in Latter-day Saint culture, and also one of the most misunderstood. I’m not interested in a fear-based reading of God that sounds like “pay up or burn.” I want to get honest about what the scriptures actually say, why the language is so intense, and what that phrase is really pointing to: a life that’s already aligned with Jesus Christ before the refining day arrives. We start in Doctrine and Covenants 64 a...
