Manti Te?o was on top of the world when it came to football. In his senior season at Notre Dame, he was a Heisman trophy finalist who led the Fighting Irish to the national championship game. But off the football field, Manti was involved in an online relationship with someone he?d never met. It is now known as a famous catfishing scandal but at the time, Manti Te?o was just a college athlete who was trying to navigate a horrific experience in the public eye. On today?s episode, Manti discusses what he learned from the experience about the Savior?s love for us.

On May 29, 2021, US Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis took his wife and children to hike a portion of Mount Fuji, a famous mountain where he were stationed in Japan. On their way home, they planned to stop at an ice cream shop Ridge had visited during his time serving in Japan as a missionary years earlier. Ridge was mid-conversation with his 7-year-old daughter when he suddenly lost consciousness and consequently lost control of the car he was driving, resulting in the deaths of two people. Ridge was sentenced to three years in prison. His wife and family were determined to bring him home. This is their story.

Morgan Choi and her husband have lived in four very different countries during their young marriage.

?Being curious is such a positive thing, you?re asking questions about someone, you?re wanting to get to know them more and understand them and it can lead to friendship and growth.

Dr. Benjamin Bikman?s book has 4.8 stars on Amazon and 3,445 reviews. The researcher of metabolic health and BYU professor has developed a loyal fanbase by sharing evidence that shows that many major diseases have a common root?one that is easily fixed by conscious lifestyle changes. He calls his desire to share these things and their impact a crusade and on this week?s episode, he shares why, as a Latter-day Saints, that crusade is fueled by a firm belief in the Word of Wisdom.
?Maybe the deepest level of the Word of Wisdom is the sentiment of learning to control the power that we have within our bodies because in so doing we show to Heavenly Father our worthiness and our fitness?us being fit for or found worthy of being given greater responsibility and greater power.? ?Benjamin Bikman

Natalie Hill Jensen was a single adult when she attended her sister?s wedding. There, the sealer who is also an apostle of God told her that heaven would help her as she searched for someone to marry. That heavenly help did come as promised and it eventually included finding her husband but first, it came in the form of an invitation issued in a talk by Sister Wendy Watson Nelson, wife of our prophet, President Russell M. Nelson. On this week?s episode, Natalie shares how accepting that invitation continues to bless her life.

Tony Martin, a Nashville songwriter who has written 16 #1 country music hits, is a believer as a songwriter that anything you?re immersed in will show up in your writing. So, when you know that Martin has been called to be a seminary teacher three times and has taught Sunday School, it comes as no surprise that religious themes have, at times, snuck into the country songs he writes for a living.

BYU Marriott School Dean, Brigitte Madrian, has loved learning her entire life. In fact, she was in the 8th grade when she decided she wanted to get a PhD. Since then, she has worked at some of the most prestigious institutions of learning in the country. Still, she recognizes that this love for learning at such a young age is unique and knowing what you want to do with your life in the 8th grade? Even more rare. Perhaps that is why she is so passionate about helping others discover their own thirst for knowledge.

There is a man whose love inspires people during this time of year. Some might say it?s a man with a white beard who delivers Christmas presents to children around the world on a sleigh pulled by reindeer. But renowned Latter-day Saint painter Greg Olsen believes it is actually the Savior of the world who inspires Santa Claus himself. On this week?s episode, we talk with the artist about how he began painting in the first place but then why he chose to paint Santa Claus in addition to his many well-known paintings of Jesus Christ.
?Done in the right way, seen from the right perspective, Santa?that tradition?does carry on the mission of Jesus. Doing unto others, giving, serving, spreading love and cheer?it?s hard to separate those two.? ?Greg Olsen

In recent years, Michael McLean has encountered profound lessons about a father?s love. Although seemingly a shining light of optimism and success known for his work in the Latter-day Saint film and music space, McLean grappled with chronic depression, fostering self-doubt for an extended period. Nearly two decades ago, when his son came out and conveyed discontent about his upbringing, McLean's deepest insecurities seemed validated. Moreover, the silence from a perceived absence of God amplified his distress. On this week?s episode, we discuss McLean?s Forgotten Carols but, more importantly, how a loving Father never forgets His son.
?The Atonement is not some cool thing that happened back in Gethsemane. It?s ongoing. He?s not stopping His work until He?s got us all healed?until He?s brought us all home.? ?Michael McLean

It was considered one of the biggest snubs of the Women?s World Cup in 2023. Ashley Hatch has been around the United States Women?s National Team since 2016, and even played in multiple games for the national team in 2023. And yet, when the roster for the Women?s World Cup team was released, Ashley?s name wasn?t on it. The tough thing is that, like many disappointments in life, Ashley doesn?t really have an answer for why it didn?t work out the way she?d hoped. She does, however, recognize that she has the power to choose how she responds to that disappointment.
?It?s an opportunity to either lean into your faith, lean into your testimony, or it?s an opportunity to lean away or push it away.? ?Ashley Hatch

Remembering those who have gone before us and recognizing that death is not the end?these are critical aspects of our faith as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are also at the core of the celebration known in Hispanic culture as Día de los Muertos. On this week?s episode, we learn more about how this celebration intersects with faith and tradition, and reminds us of the eternal nature of our family bonds.
?If we were just to learn about all of the experiences that the Nephites had with our Savior Jesus Christ?if we were to pass that down and we were to believe it and put it into action in our lives, we would be better people and we would have a better connection with our Savior so that?s why I think our ancestors are so important to celebrate.? ?Shiegrid Hernandez

McKay Coppins began covering Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential race and because the two shared a common faith as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, other reporters often looked to McKay, a very young journalist at the time, as a source on Romney?s religion. Over a decade later, Coppins? new biography profiles the Latter-day Saints? life and career in the public sphere.

The Osmonds reached what was arguably the peak of their fame in 1973. That year, the band made what many considered an interesting decision and released The Plan, a landmark album that explored the eternal nature of God?s plan and the role of Jesus Christ in salvation. Alan Osmond almost always sang backup vocals but, as the oldest of the Osmond brothers, was in many ways the leader of the brothers? group and the writer of many of the Osmonds? songs. In this episode, Alan shares the inspiration behind The Plan as we celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the album.

Sy Snarr?s son, Zachary Snarr, was a senior in high school when he was shot and killed by a complete stranger. After 17 years in prison, Jorge Benvenuto, the man who killed Zachary, wrote a letter to tell the Snarr family that he was sorry for taking their 18-year-old son and brother?s life. What happened next captivated listeners of KSL?s ?The Letter? podcast and, on this week?s episode of ?All In,? we explore the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ that is woven throughout the Snarr family's remarkable example of forgiveness.

In her freshman year as a vocal performance major, Emma Nissen received devastating news. Just nine weeks into her studies, she learned that her vocal cords were damaged and required surgery. She very easily could?ve felt, in that moment, that everything she?d worked for was falling apart. But she remembered a prompting she had earlier that week?a prompting to serve a mission?and how she?d told the Lord if he?d create a window of time for her to serve, she?d go. So she went and the rest, as they say, is history. On this week?s episode, we talk with Emma Nissen about how God?s window opened a door for her to share her music in a way she never could?ve dreamed possible.

According to a 2015 Pew Research study, 59 percent of Americans believe that science and religion are often in conflict. This perceived tension between the two can be especially challenging for students in fields such as biology, who may encounter scientific theories that seem to contradict their faith. As a biology professor at Brigham Young University, Jamie Jensen has seen firsthand how science can either deepen or diminish students? spirituality. In this week?s episode, she shares strategies for helping students approach science in a way that enhances their understanding of God?s wonders, rather than detracting from it.
?When you?re building a testimony and you?re gathering spiritual evidence, that evidence is still real, it?s still measurable, but the instrumentation we use is different. So instead of using thermometers, or rulers or calipers, we?re using our spiritual eyes, personal revelation, feelings that are inside, and it?s just as real, but it?s not as tangible.? ?Jamie Jensen

That baby boy was diagnosed with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, a life-threatening genetic syndrome that affects just one in 250,000 children and is only symptomatic in boys. The life expectancy was 3-5 years. There was, however, one possible way to save his life: He could receive a bone marrow transplant and his 7-year-old brother was a perfect match.
"I can't articulate it well, but I came to love Abraham as a mom because he was saved and needed saving. And I think of our Heavenly Parents who have this Son, who is perfect and they know He's going to do it and they know He's going to be awesome and then to look at us, like I look at Abraham, and realize he needs saving. He's not going to make it and there's just such a love that I can't explain for him for fighting, and for being saved by his older brother." ?Marilee Killpack

You may have never heard of scrupulosity, but it is possible it has hijacked the religious experience of you or someone you love. In her September 2019 Ensign article, Dr. Debra Theobald McClendon wrote, ?Scrupulosity masquerades as a desirable, higher standard of righteousness and personal worthiness?but it?s not!? So, what is scrupulosity? How does it manifest itself? How is it treated? Dr. McClendon helps us answer all of these questions and more on this week?s episode.
?If it is a spiritual prompting, and you go through the things you need to repent, including a confession to an ecclesiastical leader if necessary, you will feel better. If it is driven by toxic anxiety, you will not feel better, because it's an anxiety issue. It's not a moral issue or a spiritual sensitivity issue.? ?Debra Theobald McClendon

Brooke Romney is a strong believer that we are wired for connection. Connection with those around us, connection with our families, connection with God??Humans are hard and friendship takes work,? Romney says, but she also believes the effort is worthwhile, ?His intent was never for us to walk any of these paths alone.?
?We?re craving what God really intended us to be. He never intended us to sit behind screens. He never intended even for us to just write articles about good things. He created us to do good things, to touch people, to connect with people. That?s what this is all about. And I think, because life has gotten so easy and so removed, sometimes we forget that and it?s what our soul wants so badly.? ?Brooke Romney

President David O. McKay once referred to meditation as ?one of the most secret, most sacred doors through which we pass into the presence of the Lord.? On today?s episode, we explore the many ways meditation and mindfulness already play an important role in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
?One of the things I?ve wondered is if people are not walking away from the gospel as much as (having) an impoverished experience of the gospel, where the gospel has become sort of like this devices that?s not working anymore. And rather than going for an upgrade and getting rid of the device, our hope is that if people could approach the gospel with fresh eyes and experience it as full of opportunities to stop, to pause, to interrupt the busyness, to interrupt the activity, that it might awaken something that has become dead, because anything...can die.? ?Jacob Hess

Samuel Brown is an academic, a shock trauma ICU doctor, and a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School. He has achieved much professionally, but it was not until his wife, Kate Holbrook, was diagnosed with cancer in her eye and he faced the risk of losing his beloved that Sam realized he had neglected things in his home. This realization was painful and required work to undo the hurt of the past, but together, he and his wife have rebuilt a home and a marriage they are grateful for and proud of.
Editor?s note: Kate Holbrook passed away on August 20, 2022 after a long battle with ocular melanoma. Our hearts and prayers are with her husband Sam, their children, and her family members and friends.

Scott O?Neil, CEO of the NBA?s Philadelphia 76ers, doesn?t have any hobbies. He is a husband, father, NBA CEO and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who believes prioritization is not a matter of balance but of being 100 percent present wherever he may be in the moment. He is the guy who smiles and says hi to every person he passes, calling many of them by name, and the recent convert who believes we all need to do more to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
?We need to do more. We need to be less insular. We need be more loving. We need to be more open. We need to be more assertive. We need to leverage social media. We need to leverage the people we know, the influence we have, and we need to do a better job because this gospel is too special and we need to do a better job sharing it.? ?Scott O?Neil

After a very successful career in network news, broadcast journalist Jane Clayson Johnson was finally the wife and mother she had always dreamed of becoming when she found herself overcome with a darkness she didn?t recognize. On this week?s episode, Jane discusses the clinical depression that blindsided her and what she has learned from interviewing over 150 Latter-day Saints who are also facing this difficult challenge.
?I never thought that I would be grateful for a journey through depression. But it has strengthened my understanding of grace and I feel as though I have a hope in the atonement that is brighter than I ever could have imagined.? ?Jane Clayson Johnson

A quote by Marcus Aurelius, a scripture in Jarom, and the writings of Paul led Adam Miller to ponder the question of what life would look like if we chose to die in Christ now and experience ?an early resurrection.? This week, we look at how turning our lives over to Christ before death has the potential to change everything.
?You know how it is when you?re so absorbed in doing what you?re doing? When you so love what you?re doing, when you?ve so lost yourself in caring for whatever the task is, or whoever the person is you?re with, that you just lose all track of time and simultaneously lose all track of yourself and feel in the end, enlivened and empowered? That?s it. That?s life in Christ. And the trick is to learn how to do that, not just every once in a while but to live our lives like that from dawn until dusk in Christ.? ?Adam S. Miller

In 1830, the same year the Church was organized, a former slave named Peter became the first documented Black member of the Church. Nearly 200 years later, Mauli Bonner first heard Peter?s story when he started exploring his own faith as a Black member of the Church. This journey led him to Paul Reeve, a professor at the University of Utah who has studied Blacks in Church history extensively. On today?s episode, Mauli and Paul explain not only the importance of the stories of early Black Latter-day Saints, but also how their stories can strengthen our faith and our testimonies of the restored gospel.
?The beauty of it all is that we are here now and have an opportunity to learn and do something good. That?s what we have control over. We can?t change what was, we were not there. But we are here now.? ?Mauli Bonner

After nearly 40 years of teaching religion, Robert Millet still had some questions regarding the Holy Ghost. For example, how does our doctrine regarding the Holy Ghost differentiate The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from other religions? Or what does the right to constant companionship of the Spirit really look like? It was this curiosity that led him to begin researching and eventually writing his latest book, The Holy Spirit. On today?s episode, he shares the unique insights he found along the way.
?Something as fundamental as God and Christ and the Holy Ghost really just cannot remain a mystery. ?This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent? (John 17:3). If it?s life eternal to know God, heaven help us if we don?t even have the means of coming to know God because God is in some ways pushed off the stage, because Jesus takes center stage.?

How has the world?s perception of Eve affected women throughout history and what is the cost of misunderstanding her choice in the garden? Can the restored gospel help us make sense of Eve?s choice? Could adopting Eve?s perspective of mortality bring increased joy into our own lives? Melinda Wheelwright Brown seeks to address these questions and more on this week?s episode of ?All In.?

How do you follow the Savior?s example if your child has left the Church or is struggling with their faith? What?s the balance between giving your child room to use his or her agency while showing your love for them? In this week?s All In episode, parenting guru Justin Coulson explains how the Savior?s teachings about love, compassion, and mourning with those that mourn apply to the family. Whether we?re a parent or not, we can all learn from the Savior?s example of how to ?Suffer the little children to come unto me? (Mark 10:14).
?Sometimes in our angry moments, or in our tired moments, or, let?s be honest, in our selfish moments, we might be less loving than we could be towards our children. Sometimes we feel inclined to hurt rather than to help, or...we?re neutral or ambivalent, or we shrug our shoulders and say ?Whatever?. But He doesn't. The scriptures tell us again and again, His hand, His arm is stretched out still.?

A 2020 First Presidency Message reads, ?The sacred teachings, promises, and ceremonies of the temple are of ancient origin, and point God?s children to Him as they make further covenants and learn more about His plan, including the role of the Savior Jesus Christ.? Learning more about God?s plan and the role of a Savior in that plan are things that all of us desire but religious rituals can be difficult to understand and the prospect of wearing sacred temple garments may cause apprehension. But the temple carries with it great promises from God and on this week?s episode, we discuss the many blessings that are available to us as we choose to make promises with Him.
?Temple worship provides a way to put the Lord first, to stay oriented to Him, to love Him the most, to love Him first.? ?Jennifer Lane

Growing up in Australia, Gaye Strathearn faced a dilemma familiar to many faithful families: how to balance Sabbath day observance with the demands of the world. As a young girl, she worried that her non-member father might feel left out as the family spent hours at church. But as she grew older, Gaye began to see the Sabbath not as a burden but as a sacred opportunity to connect with God and with loved ones. Now, as a respected gospel scholar, Gaye has compiled a collection of essays exploring the commandment of the Sabbath from its origins on Sinai to its relevance in the 21st century.
?If this is a part of our covenant journey, all of us are at different places on that covenant journey and our understanding of the Sabbath is going to be at different places. And so let?s have people grow into their understanding.? ?Gaye Strathearn

On New Year?s Day 2023, as many people were waking to the excitement and endless possibilities of a new calendar year, Conlon and Rachel Bonner awoke to find that their nine-month-old son Joshua had passed away. The youngest of their six children, Joshua had been a source of light and love since joining their family in 2022, and now they were left to figure out how to live without him. For the Bonners, this meant focusing on how to live their lives with faith pointed toward a future when they will be reunited with Joshua again.

From an unexpected phone call that led them to consider adoption for the first time to the deliberate effort and patience required for their second adoption, the Laneris share their journey and reflect on the miracles that brought their family together.
?Yes, the Lord does love effort. But even if you put in all your effort and it doesn't work out, that doesn't mean it's impossible. It just means that the Lord also has His timing in his way.

Why are we the way that we are? This is a question licensed clinical psychologist, author, adjunct professor, and entrepreneur Kimberly Teitter has often explored?both in herself and in others.

Join us on a journey with Astrid Tuminez, President of Utah Valley University, as she shares the two pivotal moments that transformed her life as a little girl growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood in the Philippines. First, an opportunity to enroll in a school run by Catholic nuns allowed Astrid to read and write. Second, a chance to be taught by missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about her divine identity as a daughter of God. This powerful combination of secular and spiritual knowledge opened up a whole new world of possibilities for young Astrid. Today, President Tuminez leads Utah Valley University with the belief that education has the power to transform lives.

Cameron Smith was just a college student when he happened upon a job listing for a little-known pancake company called Kodiak Cakes. Today, the company is one of the leading pancake brands in the United States. But how did they get there? Recognized as the company's "secret weapon" who helped get Kodiak Cakes on the shelves of retailers like Target and Costco, Cameron shares how great outcomes have come from simply asking the right questions. And more importantly, he marvels at how through it all, the Lord has been able to make more out of his life than he ever could have dreamed of.
?I think in that moment what I brought was probably like a little stone?and then together, we built this sling. And then we decided, ?Alright, let?s start working on this and let?s see what we can do with this.?

As a little girl, Marie Vischer Elliott spent three years in a concentration camp under unimaginable conditions. She remarkably survived but her little brother, Georgie, died shortly after they were released due to what he endured in the camp. Years later, as a young mother, Marie was introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which not only helped her heal from what she experienced during the war but also gave her hope of seeing her little brother again. On this week's episode, Marie's story teaches us a powerful lesson about the devastating nature of war, the transformative doctrine of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the blessings of the temple.

March Madness is in full swing and, in 1981, Danny Ainge experienced his "one shining moment? in the NCAA Tournament when he scored with two seconds left on the clock, helping BYU advance to the Elite Eight. It was the highlight of a remarkable college basketball career, but only the beginning of his professional career in sports. Still, Ainge doesn?t take credit for his success. He insists that the Lord has placed angels?ordinary people setting an extraordinary example?along his path to help him every step of the way. In this episode, we talk about the power of positive influences in our lives that guide our paths and why Ainge believes the people we surround ourselves with have the ability to make all the difference.
?There have been angels waiting for me, directing me.? ?Danny Ainge

Emily Robison Adams remembers the feeling well?like she?d been put in a cast iron pot with the lid placed on top, unable to feel God?s presence in her life. Shaken and disoriented, she tried everything she could think of to reach Him, and yet she felt nothing. God was silent. But at her mother?s encouragement, Emily wrote down what she was experiencing through this supposed silence, and in the process she began to believe that God wasn?t silent at all?He was just being quiet, providing the necessary space for Emily to learn and grow. On this week?s episode, Emily shares some of the principles that began to shift her paradigm and renew her belief that God really does know what each of us needs.

Ryan Leavitt doesn?t know if the new 988 lifeline would?ve made a difference for his sister-in-law Lizzie, whose long battle with mental illness ultimately took her life in 2014. But when Leavitt was given the opportunity to work on the legislation that ultimately led to the new easy-to-remember hotline, he viewed it as a way to not only honor Lizzie?s life but also to hopefully preserve the lives of so many who face the heartbreaking realities of suicidal thoughts. On this week?s episode, Leavitt discusses the hope that comes through the gospel of Jesus Christ, not only through the resurrection but also as we each seek to do all we can to ?lift up the heads that hang down.?

For years, Liz Wixom Johnsen helped families decorate their homes as a talented interior designer. And for years, Liz dreamed of a home that was like theirs?not because of the decor, but because of the families within those walls. As a single woman, she often longed for a home life that looked different than the one she had. But she also learned that true homes come in many different shapes and sizes. And when she married a man with eight children and her home was instantly dramatically different, that knowledge became invaluable. On this week?s episode, Liz shares what she?s learned about embracing the homes?and the lives?God has prepared for each one of us.

?God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation.? ?Thomas S. Monson, ?In Quest of the Abundant Life?
