In this episode we were privileged to have Kurt Francom on the show from Leading Saints to talk with us on the sensitive topic of the rise of members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints deciding to leave or take a step back from the church. We talked about what our role is as leaders and friends when this situation arises, and how we ourselves as active members can stay in the church even through our crisis of faith. So many wonderful and interesting insights, and we hope you find something to take away from it! We definitely did!

After a many month long break we are back and once again talking about being rooted—specifically what it means, why we need to be, and a buffet of ways we are actively being rooted right now. We love hearing from you! Reach out to us on Instagram @outpostofheaven or via email [email protected].

A few weeks ago our Stake President asked us how we access the atonement of Jesus Christ. We gave some heartfelt answers and then spent the next several weeks being instructed by the spirit how we could better answer that question in the future. Let us know how you would answer this question!

In this episode we discuss something that has been in our thoughts and hearts really since the pandemic started in 2020 and that is— HOPE. What is it? What does it mean to have a perfect brightness? What does hope look like for us? How do we get more of it? And so on. Also! Our friends Braeden and Bonnie Hayes over at Liberty Youth Academy started a podcast called Abide in Liberty so when you’re done listening to this episode click the link below to visit theirs!

Woohoo! We made it to seven years of marriage! We talk today about some of our lessons from the past seven years and why Emily is so good at marriage. I mean She is basically perfect, drop dead gorgeous, and next level spiritual. How could she not be an awesome spouse?1?1

We sat down this week with Andrew’s maternal grandparents who just celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary! They share insights into the struggles young Latter-day Saint couples faced when they were first married and the things they did to overcome them. They then talk about how those lessons can benefit us today. Grandma also shares about a time she felt “like an elephant was crapping on (her) head” and grandpa’s witty response that has still remained a catch phrase in their marriage decades later. These great people are leaving a spiritual legacy and inheritance that is currently and will continue to bless their descendants throughout the eternities. We LOVE them and this episode.

Sometimes when world, national, or local news, or even our own lives get heavy and stressful all we want to do is scoop up our little family and escape into the woods somewhere and not associate with anyone. We have been calling this the "bunker mentality." As enticing as this seems, we know deep down that it isn't what Heavenly father would want us to do. When you're in a bunker, you can't project light or peace or faith, or anything. You're fear based. When you create an outpost mentality, your living a faith based life. We can live IN the world and not OF the world. LINKS www.instagram.com/outpostofheaven
