Jesus Will Say to All Israel, ''Come Home''

In this special "Thoughts to Keep in Mind" episode, Tess Frame is joined by Caitlyn Hawker to explore one of the central themes of the Restoration: the gathering of Israel. Together, they discuss what it truly means to be part of Israel, emphasizing that Israel is more than a place or a lineage. It is a people who choose to let God prevail in their lives. Drawing on teachings from President Russell M. Nelson, they reflect on how the gathering of Israel is happening today through conversion, covenant making, and everyday discipleship. The conversation highlights the role of women in this sacred work, beginning in the home and extending into their communities. Tess and Caitlyn explain that gathering Israel isn't reserved for full-time missionaries or large public efforts. It happens through teaching children, ministering with love, strengthening families, making and keeping covenants, and creating places where the Spirit can dwell. They also discuss how Zion is built wherever faithful disciples choose to follow Christ, making every home, ward, and temple community part of God's gathering work. Throughout the episode, they offer practical invitations inspired by President Nelson's teachings, encouraging listeners to deepen their personal conversion through scripture study, temple worship, meaningful ministering, and reducing distractions that pull them away from the Spirit. This episode reminds us that gathering Israel begins with allowing God to prevail in our own hearts, and from there, our influence naturally reaches our families, communities, and the world.

2 Kings 2–7, There Is a Prophet in Israel

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore 2 Kings 2–7 and the ministry of Elisha, showing how God continues to guide and bless His people through prophets. From healing the waters of Jericho and multiplying oil for a widow to raising a child from the dead and feeding a hungry crowd, Elisha’s miracles point beyond themselves to Jesus Christ. Tess and Becky reflect on how God’s power is often revealed through ordinary people and simple acts of faith rather than dramatic displays. The conversation centers on Naaman’s healing and the invitation to trust God even when His instructions seem surprisingly simple. Rather than performing a spectacular miracle, Elisha tells Naaman to wash in the Jordan River seven times, teaching that God’s greatest blessings often come through humble obedience. Tess and Becky connect this to modern discipleship, reminding listeners that daily scripture study, following prophetic counsel, and acting on spiritual promptings may seem small, but these simple acts sustain faith over time. They also highlight the quiet influence of women throughout these chapters. A widow, a faithful mother, and a young servant girl each become instruments in God’s work, demonstrating that spiritual influence rarely depends on position or recognition. This episode encourages listeners to trust the prophet, recognize God’s presence in everyday life, and expect miracles as they faithfully follow Him, one small step at a time.

1 Kings 12–13; 17–22, If the Lord Be God, Follow Him

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore the ministries of Elijah and the spiritual division taking place in Israel. As the nation drifts toward idolatry under King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, Elijah calls the people to make a choice: will they follow God wholeheartedly or continue wavering between competing loyalties? Through stories of drought, miracles, and personal revelation, the conversation centers on what it means to trust God when circumstances are uncertain. A major focus is the widow of Zarephath, a woman who chooses faith when she seemingly has nothing left to give. Tess and Becky reflect on her willingness to sacrifice her last meal and trust God’s promise of provision. They connect her story to modern discipleship, discussing how faith often requires letting go of something familiar before we can see what God has prepared in its place. Through personal experiences, they explore the challenge of recognizing revelation and trusting divine guidance, even when the path forward is unclear. The episode also highlights Elijah’s experience after the dramatic miracle on Mount Carmel. Despite witnessing fire from heaven, Elijah ultimately hears God through a still small voice. Tess and Becky discuss how personal revelation looks different for everyone and how learning to recognize God’s voice is often more important than receiving dramatic signs. This episode offers encouragement to trust God with sacrifices, seek personal revelation, and remember that faithful hearts matter more to God than worldly power or recognition.

2 Samuel 11–12; 1 Kings 3; 6–9; 11, Hear Thou in Heaven Their Prayer

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore pivotal moments from the lives of David, Bathsheba, and Solomon, focusing on the condition of the heart and the reality that even faithful people can drift when they stop intentionally turning toward God. Through stories of repentance, wisdom, temple worship, and personal failure, they reflect on what it means to remain devoted to God throughout every season of life. The conversation highlights Bathsheba’s story with compassion and hope, reminding listeners that God sees women whose lives are complicated by loss, disappointment, sin, or circumstances beyond their control. Though Bathsheba’s story includes tragedy and pain, it does not end there. Tess and Becky emphasize that God was not finished with her, and He is not finished with us. They also discuss how David and Solomon, despite their extraordinary spiritual experiences, demonstrate that past faithfulness never replaces the need for daily discipleship. As they explore Solomon’s temple and eventual downfall, the discussion turns to the battle for the heart. What we give our attention, affection, and devotion to ultimately shapes who we become. This episode encourages listeners to continually return to God, build lives centered on covenant relationships, and remember that His grace is always available to those who keep turning back toward Him.
