48 Episode – Comparing Miracles
Neither Moses nor Enoch was a very good public speaker. Yet the Lord chose both of them to lead large groups of people. And He provided a way for both of them to accomplish their tasks. He provided two very different ways for them to accomplish their tasks. Why didn’t they receive the same miracle?

Where Are You Going For Answers?
47 Episode – Where Are You Going For Answers?
When you have a question or need advice or are trying to make a decision, who do you talk to? What people are at the top of your list? Family, close friends, a social media group? What about Heavenly Father? Is He the first person you turn to, or is He more of a last resort? There are examples in the scriptures of people who turned to Him first, and people who turned to Him only out of desperation, or not at all. And there is a definite difference for how things worked out for those people.
