Send us a text We all know someone, perhaps multiple someones, who suffer with some form of emotional disorder. Depression, anxiety, bi-polar disease, and the list goes on. My premise in this podcast is that all types of emotional disorder lead to relationship problems, and we need to recognize the disorder, get the help we need, and begin to move beyond the disorder to healthy, long lasting relationships. __________________________ Do you have questions or comments?

Send us a text President Russell M. Nelson once spoke to Church leaders about Hesed, covenantal love. In this episode, I ask questions that I believe President Nelson answers in this talk.

Send us a text A few years ago I wrote a book entitled Forgotten Saints: A Pioneer Story of Those Who Lived and Died without a Trace. In this episode I share an excerpt from Chapter 10 of that book. It's a story about how I imagined two young people falling in love in Nauvoo.
