Receive His Word & Trust HIs Grace

Upheld by Heaven

What does it look like to draw on God's power in your daily life? This week on enLIGHTen, I sat down with Sarah Allen for a beautiful conversation about faith, covenants, healing, and the strength that comes through Jesus Christ. We talked about how keeping our covenants gives us access to God's power. Not because life becomes easy. But because we never have to carry our burdens alone. Again and again, we see that when we reach for Christ, He reaches back. Through the Holy Ghost. Through ministering angels. Through tender mercies. And through the peace that only He can give. If you've ever wondered how to feel more of the Savior's strength in your life, this episode is for you.

Faith through the Fog

Faith through the fog looks a lot like Choosing to take the next step Even when you can’t see the whole path . This week on enLIGHTen I sat down with the wonderful Maria Freeman and talked about what it means to trust Christ when life feels uncertain . We talked about foggy roads unexpected detours dreams that take years to unfold and a Savior who never leaves our side . One truth kept coming back again and again . Jesus is the way . Not just the destination but the guide beside us every step of the journey . Even when we cannot see the shore Even when the road feels unfamiliar Even when the answers have not come yet . He knows the path because He has already walked it . If you are walking through a foggy season right now this conversation is for you

The Law that Leads to Liberty and Love

What if obedience isn't about restriction, but relationship? This week on enLIGHTen, we explored how every commandment is an invitation to say, "God, I trust You." Jesus taught, "If ye love me, keep my commandments," and Elder Holland reminds us that Christ is the Lawgiver—the perfect giver of laws whose purpose is to increase our happiness and our capacity to love. The more I study the scriptures, the more I see that obedience isn't about losing freedom. It's about abiding in God's love, receiving more light, and trusting the One who sees farther than we can.

Let There Be MORE Light

What if one small ray of light could change everything . Today on enLIGHTen Jacqueline Andersen shared how Christ’s light doesn’t wait for our lives to be perfect before entering in . Before the world was fully formed God said “Let there be light” . And maybe that’s how He still works with us Not waiting until we have everything figured out Not waiting until the darkness is completely gone But meeting us right in the middle of it . We talked about opening the curtains to let light in Shabbat candles and what they symbolize how scripture becomes a lamp unto our feet and how even one small drop of light can begin to push back the darkness . One of my favorite reminders from today: “You can’t borrow light. You have to seek it daily.” . Whether through prayer the temple the scriptures serving others or simply choosing goodness again and again Christ is always inviting us closer to His light

Receive His Word & Trust HIs Grace

Sometimes God does not speak through the earthquake the fire or the storm. He speaks through a whisper. A quiet nudge a scripture that burns in your heart a feeling that will not leave. “Hear Him” means more than listening. It means trusting Him enough to follow. God will often lead us out of comfort and into growth. Not to punish us. But to sanctify us. The more intentionally we seek Him through prayer scripture the temple and stillness the more clearly we begin to hear Him.
