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.

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.
