Summary

In this episode, Corrine and Neil share the spiritual spark that came from revisiting one of Corrine’s favorite reads—At the Pulpit, a collection of powerful discourses by Latter-day Saint women. One particular talk led them into a heartfelt discussion about the difference between simply going through the motions and being truly anchored in the principles of the gospel. Together, they reflect on how easy it can be to drift spiritually when our faith is based more on practices or traditions than on personal testimony and truth. Corrine opens up about a recent moment that helped her see temple garments in a completely new light, and Neil shares how a mission experience taught him to separate procedures from eternal principles. Because the gospel was never meant to be memorized and recited—it was meant to be lived, loved, and understood from the inside out.

Last night I was reading in one of my favorite books.

0:13.3

This is like a nightstand book that I often will just pull out and read if I need just a little bit of, you know, some inspirational or

0:23.1

reading that isn't too, it's not too complex or deep, but it's very uplifting. It's a book

0:31.4

called at the pulpit. And it's just all of these, it's 185 years of discourses by Latterty St. Women. And it's just all of these beautiful

0:40.3

talks by women that I really admire, some of whom I feel like just shaped the way that I thought

0:46.9

and the way that I was raised as a child and an adolescent and even now as an adult. So I was reading one of one of these talks,

0:57.3

and it's by Ardith Cap, who has a really interesting life. She was not able to have children,

1:02.8

but she was called to be the general young women's president in our church, which is a huge

1:09.2

responsibility. It's like you're in charge of

1:12.2

millions of teenage girls, basically. Like, you are at the head of that organization. And she didn't

1:19.0

have children. And I, this is a side note, but I remember hearing in an interview with her that

1:24.6

she was questioned by some people, like, are you, do you have what it

1:31.2

takes to do this because you don't even have your own children? And she was set apart by,

1:36.5

which means like she received a special blessing where, um, you know, she was given promises and,

1:42.1

um, and the power and authority to have this

1:48.2

calling by our at the time president of the church, Gordon B. Hinkley, who I feel like we've talked

1:55.8

about him so many times, but I feel like he raised us, like he raised me as a child of the 90s and

2:00.5

early 2000s.

2:01.3

And he said to her in that blessing that she would have the opportunity to raise her children during the millennial for that thousand years when Satan was bound.

2:12.1

And anyway, I thought that was really powerful.

2:14.3

And I've always just really loved her.

But I was reading this talk
