Sharon Eubank: The good we can do today! Making a lasting impact through our service
We all want to help be God's hands, but with so much need in the world it can be hard to know where to begin, and even harder to know if what we do makes a difference. Sharon Eubank is here to help guide our efforts! She offers up a perspective shift to help us do the most good in the world through our individual service, and it doesn't involve donating a huge amount of money or trekking the globe. She also shares how to get to the heart of humanitarian work in our own communities, and the immeasurable good we can do in the world when we genuinely connect with each other as Christ would. Director of humanitarian services for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Sharon is also the author of a new book, Doing Small Things with Great Love: How Everyday Humanitarians are Changing the World.

Sheri Dew: Being Known as Women of God
In October 1999, Sheri Dew gave a landmark talk entitled "We are Women of God." The words she spoke then still ring true today: “It is by letting the world go and coming unto Christ that we increasingly live as women of God. We were born for eternal glory.” In this episode, Sheri Dew shares her personal learnings since giving this address, what it means to be a woman of God today, why it matters to think celestial more often, and how to get better at being active and intentional in our faith. She also revisits the invitation she gave the women listening in 1999 and modifies that invitation for us today, reminding all of us that our influence for good in this world is incalculable. Links: Listen to Sheri Dew speak in 1999: "We Are Women of God" Hear more from Sheri on the Magnify podcast: Sheri Dew On Being a Lifelong Seeker of Truth Join us at Lift Up Your Heart—a Magnify gathering with keynote speaker Sharon Eubank.

The real lives of women of faith—new research on what it really means to believe
A recent study by the Pew Research Center shared statistics that Latter-day Saint women are top of the charts when it comes to experiencing “a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being on a weekly basis.” We also report the “highest rate of being very happy.” To someone only paying attention to what media and popular culture might say, these statistics might be surprising. But we know why these numbers ring true: we live our faith daily and it really does bring us greater peace and happiness. Dr. Jenet Erickson, a fellow of the Wheatley Institute and a professor in the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University, recently dove into these findings and is here to share what she learned. The real stories of Latter-day Saint women are ones of peace, power, and strength that shine brighter than any viral trend. We are women of conviction who love and serve God and each other with all of our hearts.

Replenishing Our Spiritual Wells with Krista Isaacson
We can all relate to being caught comparing ourselves to others, and then wading through the spiral of negative thinking that often goes with it. Our goal on the podcast today is to remind ourselves that There’s a quiet kind of peace that comes when we recognize that we are enough because the Lord will magnify our efforts. Krista Isaacson is a writer and teacher whose article on LDS Living prompted this discussion. Krista serves as a Gospel Library App User Awareness Missionary, loves her mountain bike named Breezy, and collects too many vintage children’s books. And she’s going to help us to realize that our “all” is enough! Register now for Lift Up Your Heart! Follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our newsletter!
