That Incorrigible Class

Broadcast Date: April 26, 2026
One of the greatest keys to our happiness is service. Over the years I’ve worked many different kinds of employment at varying rates of pay, and I’ve come to the conclusion that no one pays better wages than God, and provides a more rewarding working environment while doing so. May I share a story? “What! Me teach that class of…

The Master Teacher

Broadcast Date: April 26, 2026
In the time of Jesus, the Feast of Tabernacles was held in October and was one of the three great feasts that the Lord had commanded the Israelites to celebrate. Jesus delayed going up to the great feast effectively heightening the anticipation and speculation surrounding Him. “Where is he?” the people murmured among themselves.…

The Wisdom of Daniel

Broadcast Date: April 26, 2026
In Moses’ time God cared what His people ate and drank. But today – well, have we advanced so much that He’s no longer concerned with our diet? I promise you, He who never changes hasn’t changed, and He still cares. What we do to our bodies we do to our mind[s] and spirit[s]; what we do to our spirits we do to our bodies, as illustrated…

Erastus Snow

Broadcast Date: April 26, 2026
May 6, 1847 – along the Platte River on the Oregon Trail: 29-year-old Erastus Snow was given the responsibility to watch over the cattle belonging to the Mormon Vanguard Company as they journeyed west. The reason why – they were in buffalo country, and if those valuable cattle were not carefully guarded, they would wander into the…

Only God Gives A's

Broadcast Date: April 26, 2026
You know, sometimes life would be so unfair if we didn’t have an omnipotent friend for a friend, as this story illustrates. Bret entered the university majoring in English with his eyes set on going to law school, but he would have to get straight A’s in order to get in. Well, that’s all well and good, but unfortunately one of his…

Last Week

Allelopathy

Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
You know, sometimes you can learn some of the most important principles in the strangest places. It was about 25 years ago on a field trip in the deserts of Utah that I first learned of this interesting phenomenon of nature. We were studying Juniper trees and it was pointed out to me how no grass ever grows in close proximity to Utah Juniper. Now, that’s not because…

Karen, Kyle, and the Atonement

Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
Some two thousand years ago, the Savior of the world suffered in Gethsemane, died on the cross, and rose from the tomb. The Lord referred to these wonderful events by saying that He had “…finished my [his] preparations unto the children of men.” (D&C 19:19)Now that word intrigues me, ‘Preparations.’ What did He mean – ‘Preparations?’ It makes it sound like…

The Adulterous Woman (New)

Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
I have a question: How does God really feel about us. I mean, after all – we’re weak and fallen creatures prone to make mistakes. It seems to be a part of our fallen nature to be ungrateful and forgetful of all that He’s done for us. So with all of this, what are His feelings towards us, His unworthy children? There are many stories of the love of God, but there is…

Jack-knifed

Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
Not too long ago I was driving a truck along a road that I very seldom travel. I passed through a little town called Randolph, Utah, when all at once I was struck with a sense of familiarity. I was taken back 32 years ago along this same stretch of road when this experience occurred. I had taken a load into Evanston, [and] I was on my way home now empty. My normal…

Nothing to Fear

Broadcast Date: April 19, 2026
Not too long ago I came around a corner on a quiet Wyoming highway, and there were some horses all bunched up and running. Now, I looked to see why – and there was a small dog chasing them. Now he couldn’t have weighed more than 10 pounds, but he had that whole herd of horses on the run. It was a comical sight to see all those great big horses running from one little…
