Hear Him Heal YouA Morgan Message: Let God Handle your Housing CrisisHave you ever wondered why we often look to the distant past for examples of God's miraculous power instead of recognizing it in our own lives? This deeply personal episode explores how modern miracles unfold when we have eyes to see them.Morgan shares the unexpected journey of finding housing as his lease deadline approached with alarming speed. Between juggling two jobs and church responsibilities, discovering he had mere weeks to find a new apartment seemed overwhelming.

Morgan and Joel dive deep into one of today's most misunderstood religious topics: the priesthood and the divine roles of men and women in God's plan.Starting with a chance question from a missionary convert's friend, they explore how our cultural backgrounds and misunderstandings about terminology create unnecessary confusion about priesthood roles. The conversation reveals how Satan attacks both men's and women's divine responsibilities—convincing women they don't need to be mothers while telling men they don't need to be providers or priesthood ho...2025-07-1126 minHear Him Heal YouThe Militant Faith: Defending Truth in a World That Fears ConflictThe forgotten militant history of Mormonism reveals a legacy of spiritual and physical defense that should inspire believers today. Join hosts Morgan and Joel with special guest Ross Bracken (LatterDayAvenger on Instagram) as they uncover the surprising warrior heritage that shaped the early Church.From Joseph Smith's pepper box pistol at Carthage Jail to organized militia groups like the Nauvoo Legion and Danites, early Saints understood the necessity of defending their faith. Historical events including the Battle of Crooked River, the Battle of Nauvoo, and the Utah War represent significant military engagements largely absent from typical Sunday...2025-07-0120 minHear Him Heal YouTrust Falls with GodHave you ever considered that our modern understanding of faith might be missing a crucial element? In this illuminating episode, Joel explores a revelation that changes everything about how we approach our relationship with God: the Hebrew Bible doesn't actually have a word that directly translates to "belief" as we understand it today.What ancient Israelites had wasn't casual belief—it was deep trust, loyalty, and relationship. God wasn't an abstract concept requiring intellectual acceptance; He was a living reality they trusted daily. This single shift in understanding transforms faith from a passive mental state into an ac...2025-06-2508 minHear Him Heal YouAre You Competing or Connecting? Overcoming the State of OppositionEver wondered why pride is called the universal sin? We're diving deep into what pride really means beyond the obvious arrogance and boasting we typically associate with it. Pride, at its core, is about enmity—a state of opposition between ourselves and others, and between ourselves and God.This episode uncovers the surprising ways pride manifests in our daily lives that we often miss. It's not just about looking down on others (the traditional "top-down" pride), but also about looking up with envy and comparison (what we call "bottom-up" pride). From fault-finding and gossiping to feeling inadequate an...2025-06-1626 minHear Him Heal YouWhen Religious Lines Blur: Maintaining Unique Latter-day Saint IdentityHave you ever found yourself blurring the lines between your Latter-day Saint beliefs and those of other Christian faiths?

This special "Morgan Message" explores how these similar-looking words create profound confusion in our spiritual lives, often leading us to wear our mistakes as permanent identities rather than temporary states.Drawing from personal experiences leading addiction recovery classes and navigating my own repentance journey, I've witnessed how misunderstanding these concepts can keep us from progressing spiritually. When we believe our mistakes make us worthless rather than temporarily unworthy, we decline callings, withhold our testimonies, and stop pursuing greater spiritual blessings.

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the profound difference between the peace Christ offers and the peace the world promotes.Many of us mistakenly believe peace comes from avoiding responsibility, eliminating stress, or creating perfect external circumstances.

In this illuminating episode, Morgan and Joel tackle what they humorously call "the breakup dilemma" – our tendency to blame God for choices we're afraid to own.Through personal stories and scriptural insights, they explore how God designed us to be agents unto ourselves. Rather than commanding our every move, He wants us to learn, grow, and develop judgment through making our own decisions. The hosts discuss how our emotions, kn...2025-05-0735 minHear Him Heal YouCareful...it might just be a CultWhat if the biggest threats to your faith aren't other religions, but the everyday things competing for your attention and loyalty?

Don't Forget about the ResurrectionWhat does it truly mean to have a resurrected body? On this Easter Sunday special, Morgan and Joel dive deep into the profound implications of Christ's resurrection beyond the forgiveness of sins.

That uncomfortable space between divine prompting and human reluctance is where Morgan and Joel take us in this profound exploration of spiritual growth.Through the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with God, they reveal how our greatest blessings often lie on the other side of our deepest resistance. Jacob's struggle left him with both a physical wound and a new identity—Israel, meaning "let God prevail." Similarly, our own wrestling with God's will can transform us...2025-04-0530 minHear Him Heal YouMore Than Just a Work of His HandsWhat if understanding your true identity could fundamentally transform your life? This episode dives deep into the revolutionary concept introduced by Joseph Smith's First Vision—that God is a corporeal being and we are His literal children, not merely His creation. The implications of this doctrine are profound. When we grasp our divine heritage as "gods in embryo," we begin to view ourselves differently. This shift in identity directly influences our behaviors, choices, and ultimately, our destiny. Unlike other religious traditions that place an unbridgeable gap between humanity and divinity, the restored gospel teaches that God's investment in...2025-03-2634 minHear Him Heal YouThe Law of Doing It so Many TimesHave you ever felt like your spiritual efforts are just spinning wheels—praying, studying scriptures, attending church, yet wondering if you're actually progressing?
