In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker continues the Eternal Warriors 4.0 series by teaching how to intentionally design the “presidential cabinet” in your mind—instead of letting fear, shame, and Satan’s lobbyists run the show.
Maurice explores how many Latter-day Saints live with anxiety, depression, spiritual stagnation, or quiet mediocrity, not because they’re weak, but because they’ve never been taught how to recognize and organize the voices in their own head. He introduces the idea of a spiritual “cabinet” made up of the historian, statistician, hope, charity, fear, the divine apprentice, and the lobbyist, and shows how to put faith, hope, and charity back in the lead with Christ as the true source of guidance.
You’ll learn:
How Satan uses isolation and the lie, “You’re the only one like this,” to shut down your growth
What it looks like to run a daily “cabinet meeting” in your brain with the Savior presiding
How to recognize when the “lobbyist” voice (fear, shame, panic, urgency) is hijacking your thoughts
Simple ways to use DAR/DPAR (Discover–Plan–Act–Reflect) with a partner or teammate to create progress
Why teaming up (fireside-style check-ins) is a spiritual weapon against discouragement and drift
How “beginning with the end in mind” leads to miracle-level passion projects where you seek and expect to be part of God’s work
If you’re an LDS disciple, spouse, or parent who feels stuck in your head, overwhelmed by self-improvement, or alone in your battles, this episode will help you name what’s going on inside, fight isolation, and move toward a life where you can honestly say: “I have used my gifts and talents to be part of miracles.”

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker dives into how small, simple, gospel-centered systems can transform your self-mastery—and why Satan works so hard to convince you it’s “too much” or “not enough.”
Building on the Eternal Warriors 4.0 framework, Maurice and his team review key principles like the war between remembering and forgetting, recognizing satanic lies and spin, understanding chemical levels, and using DAR/DPAR (Discover–Plan–Act–Reflect) in realistic, everyday ways. You’ll hear practical examples—from sticky-note to-do lists to budgeting and even pickleball practice—showing how self-mastery doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How the war between remembering and forgetting is a real spiritual battle, not just a personality flaw
Why Satan loves the lie: “If you can’t do it big and perfect, you shouldn’t do it at all”
Simple ways to turn everyday tools (like sticky notes, planners, or budgets) into DAR/DPAR systems
How to adapt Eternal Warriors tools to your personality, season of life, and energy level
Why small and simple efforts, repeated with faith in Christ, can bring about miraculous long-term change
If you’re an LDS parent, spouse, leader, or disciple who feels overwhelmed by self-improvement or “one more system,” this episode will help you simplify your efforts, recognize Satan’s discouraging narratives, and move forward with doable, grace-filled progress toward your passion projects and eternal goals.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker explores how to turn intrusive thoughts, exhaustion, and spiritual opposition into fuel for growth instead of proof that you’re failing.
Drawing from the Come, Follow Me lesson and recent general conference talks, Maurice explains how to reframe negative self-talk as deliberate spiritual opposition, not “just your own broken mind.” He walks through his process of creating “Notes to Self”—personalized, gospel-rooted reminders in written and audio form—to anchor your mind when Satan attacks with shame, depletion, or “you’re not enough” narratives.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to recognize intrusive, self-critical thoughts as spiritual warfare—not your true identity
Why exhaustion and burnout are often a satanic strategy, not a badge of righteousness
How customized audios and written “notes to self” can function as a personal iron rod during late-night anxiety and early-morning attacks
Why God expects you to rest and let divine compensation (ministering angels, teammates, and grace) cover what you can’t do
How to support youth and adults who are wrestling with questions, doubt, and truth-seeking without fear
If you’re an LDS spouse, parent, leader, or disciple striving for self-mastery, resilient faith, and Christ-centered emotional health, this episode will help you see your mental battles in a new light—and give you practical tools to fight back with the Savior instead of against yourself.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, host Maurice Harker dives into one of Satan’s most subtle but powerful tactics: the war between remembering and forgetting. Why is it so hard to remember spiritual impressions, goals, and revelations—even when we want to? And why do the worst thoughts tend to show up right as we’re falling asleep or just waking up?
Drawing on his Spiritual Psychology Masterclass, Maurice shares how he discovered and built “personalized iron rods”—practical systems that help you hold to the word of God when your mind is drifting or under attack. From missionary days with 3x5 scripture cards in Detroit to using modern text-to-audio tools as wake-up and bedtime “iron rods,” he explains how to turn reminder systems into spiritual weapons, not shame-filled “crutches.”
In this episode you’ll learn:
How Satan uses drifting, anxiety, and late-night/early-morning thoughts to derail you
Why even smart, faithful people forget critical truths and commitments
How to build personalized iron rods using scriptures, notes, and audio
How to use two-alarm systems and intentional listening to push back on fear-based morning thoughts
Why “affirmations” often feel cheesy—but intelligent reminders are powerful and doctrinally sound
How to see structure, tools, and supports as Christlike compensation, not weakness
If you’re an LDS disciple striving for self-mastery, stronger relationships, and spiritual clarity, this episode will give you hope—and concrete tools—to stop losing battles you’re not even aware you’re fighting.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker dives into the real-life battle between your thoughts, weaknesses, and Satan’s lies—and how God uses all of it to turn you into a powerful servant, not a failure.
Maurice explains why being “lazy,” “undisciplined,” or “scattered” is often Satanic spin, not your true identity. Instead of shaming yourself, he teaches how to build compensation systems—reminders, structures, and teammates—that actually make you more Christlike. You’ll learn the “seeds and weeds” mental gardening model, using simple tools like 3x5 cards to pull out destructive thoughts (“I’m inadequate,” “I’ll just fail again”) and replace them with truth, over and over, just like tending a real garden.
Key principles in this episode include:
Why using supports, structure, and people is not a crutch, but a Christlike way to work (“let them be one”)
How passion project teammates can cover your weak spots and give you confidence to move forward
The “seeds and weeds” method for catching Satan’s lies and consciously planting truth-based thoughts
How to replace unwanted behaviors (like overeating or numbing out) with healthy, intentional alternatives
Turning the DAR cycle (Discover–Plan–Act–Reflect) into a joyful, daily repentance and growth process
Using warrior chemistry—holy urgency and righteous anger at suffering—to push through resistance and serve others
Maurice also shares how to talk to others who are drowning in “weed thoughts” with love unfeigned, and how to start saying, “I have a dream, I don’t know how to do it yet, and I’m looking for teammates,” so you can become part of God’s miracle-making process—even while you’re still very, very human.
If you’re a Latter-day Saint striving to repair your marriage, build self-mastery, and push back against Satan’s lies, this episode will help you see your “weaknesses” as invitations to partner with God and His people.

In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of Eternal Warriors) helps you learn how to never be “spiritually bored” again—and how to fight back when Satan uses anxiety, depression, distraction, and “I’m just lazy” thinking to shut you down.
Maurice introduces key Eternal Warriors 4.0 principles, showing how passion projects—big, faith-based missions that matter to you—can become instant tools against feelings of worthlessness, boredom, and discouragement. Instead of just trying to “stop a bad habit,” you’ll learn how to aim your life at something powerful, and then build systems that help you actually follow through.
Using stories from his own life and work with Latter-day Saint individuals and couples, Maurice teaches:
The “war between remembering and forgetting” and why forgetting your goals is not a personal weakness, but a Satanic strategy
How to use reminder systems (alarms, 3x5 cards, written plans) as spiritual weapons, not crutches
The DAR cycle (Discover, Plan, Act, Reflect) and why planning specific times and places is like declaring war on Satan’s interference
How to plan for failure with backup plans and still move forward
The chemical scale and why moods (low motivation, “I’m just lazy,” “I’m broken”) are one of Satan’s favorite tools
How to catch Satan’s lies, write them down, and create truth-based rebuttals so he can’t reuse the same tricks
If you’re an LDS man or woman trying to rebuild your marriage, overcome addiction, or develop real self-mastery through the gospel of Jesus Christ, this episode will help you see your mind, your schedule, and your “forgetfulness” in a whole new spiritual light.

What if the very things Satan uses to whisper, “you’re too broken, too messy, too late” are the exact things God wants to use to bless His children?
In this episode of the Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher Podcast, Maurice Harker (founder of Life Changing Services and creator of the Spiritual Psychology Masterclass) dives into the psychology behind fear, perfectionism, and “I’ll just mess it up” thinking. From mission stories in Detroit to the story of Martin Harris and the 116 pages, Maurice explains how perfect love casteth out fear and why God invites us into His work knowing full well that we are still in process.
You’ll hear powerful insights on seeing yourself as one vital chess piece on God’s board, learning when to move and when to “hold still,” and why your anger at the pain in the world is actually a form of Christlike love when it drives you to get tools to those who are suffering. Maurice and Markel also share about their new “Phase 3” effort—a project to turn deeply wounded, resilient Latter-day Saint women into an army of healers and creators who bring hope to others.
🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:
How Satan uses tiny drips of fear and shame to keep you from writing, speaking, posting, or leading
Why God’s work will move forward—and why you’re still invited (not required) to help
How perfect love casteth out all fear when you study and serve with real people’s pain in mind
The vision of a battalion of “broken” disciples doing miracles together
The chessboard analogy: when God asks you to move, and when He asks you to stay put
How to see your trauma, divorce, or failure as training for a future mission—not disqualification
If you’ve ever felt like, “I want to help, but I’m too flawed and I don’t know what to do,” this episode will help you see your place in God’s battlefield and give you courage to pick up your small, simple tools and get to work.
