Spark
chasing sunsets
I believe that each of us carries a divine spark—a light within us. But the adversary’s greatest hope is to dim that light. The purpose of this podcast episode is simple: to remind you of your infinite worth and sacred identity as a child of God. That’s exactly why Satan works so hard to distort your sense of self and limit your vision of who you are and who you can become through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He wants you to forget your divine potential. I know I’m not alone in sometimes struggling to connect with the title “child of God.” It can be hard to believe we’re worthy...

The Shining Moments
chasing sunsets
This week’s episode is inspired by hymn 226, Improve the Shining Moments, a beautiful reminder of the power found in truly embracing the present. In a world that constantly pulls us toward what’s next, we often overlook the joy that comes from simply being where our feet are. Through personal reflections and faith-centered insights, we’ll explore how slowing down and appreciating the season we’re in can transform ordinary moments into extraordinary, sacred experiences. We are incredibly blessed to know that we have something infinitely greater than anything the world can offer—the...

The Countercultural Trend
chasing sunsets
In a world that glorifies self-help and independence, we often neglect the power of true repentance. Society teaches us to avoid anything that challenges our ego, but repentance isn't about shame- it's about freedom. God doesn't insist on our suffering; he provides a way out through Christ. When we repent, we're not alone- we have the full support of heaven in our corner. It's time to drop our nets, let go of what's holding us back, and move forward within His Grace. I am so grateful for how rich God is in grace because I'll gladly and freely admit: I am rich in mistakes. Let's make repentance...

Rebrand
chasing sunsets
This year is all about rebranding myself. Moving to a new state felt like diving into the deep end, but it’s also a perfect way to start fresh. My word for this year is discomfort—and I’m learning to lean into it, trusting that growth and refinement will come through the process. Utah wasn’t on my radar in the past; honestly, it would’ve stopped me in my tracks. But now, I’m stepping into this new season full of excitement and gratitude. God, in His wisdom, “blinded” me to the fears that once held me back, allowing me to take this leap of faith. Leaving behind what I had worked...

The Reason
chasing sunsets
Christ is THE Reason. For the Season of Joy. The season that we all admire as a time of giving, surrounded by loved ones, and a time dedicated to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This year, the nativity struck me differently than it has other years, and that was because of the striking example of Mary- the mother of Jesus. I studied her character and her magnificent response to the mission Heavenly Father had granted her. She truly placed her trust in God's hand in advance of knowing what may lie ahead. She taught me that God can only transform what you put in His hand. Her confidence stemmed...

Cloud Nine
chasing sunsets
One of the beautiful purposes of this life is to be proven, tried, and tested. Our God beautifies the valleys that we endure by allowing our character to be heightened. In the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the last principle--Endure to the End--is arguably the most overlooked. Consistency in our faith and trust in God is vital for our overcoming of the seemingly impossible mountain laid before us. I know how daunting our trials may seem, but I know OUR GOD IS LARGER. The adversary hopes to convince us that our trials are useless when really they have the potential to be a stepping stone in our...

Battlefield
chasing sunsets
We are not strangers to the battlefield! We must remember that we witnessed the war in heaven and God was VICTORIOUS! One of the absurd lies satan places on us is that we are alone! Another crazy successful tactic of his is WORRY! Worry is when you feel the pressure of doing it all on your own! Worry is a form of idolatry because you believe you have the power to control an outcome when really, only God can!!! Instead of inviting the omnipotent to carry you through, you worry! The thought of being independent isn’t necessarily a defect because God was very intentional when creating us!...

Unfinished

The unfinished product. We are all incomplete. The Lord’s job is not finished!!! We are still under construction— God is still polishing and transforming us to perfect His masterpiece that you truly are!! and We have a role in that too! Kristen is a very well rounded and motivated person. She is someone who lives in constant evolution. Although she believes God created her beautifully, she knows she can reach her divine potential by putting forth the work necessary to achieve her dreams. She shares her experience as she recognizes the ceilings that were RESTRICTING her and preventing...

The Contagious Joy
chasing sunsets
There is a contagious tone of joy in my voice and I owe it all to the loving character of Christ. I am feeling more like myself recently so thought I would hop on a pod and share what is on my heart. Silly ol' me has been contemplating what tactics the adversary has (sadly) been successfully tearing me apart with. There is something so humbling about acknowledging my weaknesses within my valleys. It seems CLEAR AS DAY what the Lord has been trying to teach me, yet the obnoxious strategies the devil has played on me have left me feeling like I am in the dark. But don't you worry folks, I am...

Originated by Light
chasing sunsets
We are all originated by a spark of light. Light is a force that is so powerful that it can eliminate the fear that the world instills in our hearts. Time and time again we read in the bible that we are to be the light of the world, Jamey takes this call literally as he strives to lighten each moment with his upbeat, energetic spirit. Jamey speaks on the power of connection, chasing your own dreams and aspirations, normalizing casual conversation with god, enjoying life in God's boundary, contributing to the good of this world, and leaving a friendly impact on others.

We are incredibly blessed to know that we have something infinitely greater than anything the world can offer—the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Because of Him, we can fully embrace not only the moments we are in but also the ones that lie ahead. When we begin to see our present circumstances as precious and sacred, everything changes. We live differently, we love differently, and we begin to inherit the countenance of Jesus Christ.
