Hey everybody, before we jump into the episode, I wanted to let you know about a really special event that's coming up on Palm Sunday, which is March 29th.

We're going to be gathering in the tabernacle on Temple Square at 7 p.m. for a Palm Sunday musical celebration.

This year, the Salt Lake Central Steak is sponsoring the Luke's Choir and Orchestra, and it's going to be a beautiful evening of sacred music as we begin

Holy Week together. This event is free and open to the public, and we would truly love to see

you there. Hey, everybody, this is Aubur Chavez from Faith Matters. From time to time, we like to

share episodes from other shows in the Faith Matters Network that we think you'll really love.

And today we're highlighting one of our new favorites from Article 13.

That's the podcast hosted by Zach Davis.

If you haven't discovered it yet, Article 13 is one of the most beautifully produced things

that Faith Matters does.

The title comes from the 13th Article of Faith, and that really captures the spirit of seeking

that you'll experience in these episodes. These are rich, deeply researched explorations that bring together cutting-edge

scholarship and spiritual wisdom to ask big questions about how we live. In today's episode,

drawing on research from thinkers like Seth Kaplan and Pete Davis, we hear a compelling case that

one of the central challenges of our time is a growing

fear of commitment. Our culture tells us that the best life is the one where we keep our options

open. But the irony is that the things that make life richest, friendships, tight-knit neighborhoods,

shared projects, belonging, all become possible when we choose to commit to one another, real,

rooted, showing up again and again community.

And even though our tradition is built around covenant relationship, we're living in the same cultural waters that pull us toward busyness, mobility, and individualism.

This episode is both a diagnosis and an invitation. It's full of ideas and stories that make you want to get up and knock on a neighbor's door,

join something local, or start something new in your own community. We hope that it sends you back
