I Stopped Making Goals — and Everything Changed
From the video description:
I used to think I had a time problem.
Turns out, I had a priority problem.
For years, I made goals, plans, and resolutions — and still felt overwhelmed, busy, and frustrated that the things that mattered most kept getting pushed aside.
In this video, I share the simple shift that completely changed how I plan my year — not by doing more, but by getting clear on what actually deserves priority in this season of life.
This isn’t a resolutions video.
It’s about clarity, intention, and learning how to plan your life around what truly matters.
In this episode, I walk through:
• The question that changed how I plan everything
• Why goals alone weren’t working for me
• How I identify what actually gets priority (and what doesn’t)
• The planning mistake that kept me busy but not fulfilled
• How I protect time for the things I’ll never regret
If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but the important things keep getting crowded out — this video is for you.
Balance – A Glenn Rawson Story
From the video description:
What does a freezing winter run have to do with living the gospel? More than you might think.
Glenn Rawson loves pushing himself—running farther, faster, tougher, no matter the weather. One frigid 17-degree morning, determined to beat his distance and pace, he pressed on mile after mile even as his breathing became labored and his form broke down. He was running faster than he had strength. Hours later, his body paid the price—first his feet hurt, then his lungs, then everything. By evening, he was heading full steam into the flu, a pattern he’d repeated winter after winter, sometimes ending in pneumonia.
The scriptures command us to “improve our time” and press forward with steadfastness in Christ, yet also warn us to “not run faster than [we have] strength.” How do we balance pushing ourselves to be better while not pushing so hard we weaken ourselves? Glenn discovered that good is not just in what we do, but in how we do it. This simple story offers a powerful lesson about balance in our spiritual lives and reminds us that even in righteous pursuits, wisdom and order matter.
This presentation features the thoughtful piano music of Jason Tonioli, reflecting the principle of balance in all things.

This is why the Joseph Smith “storyteller” theory fails
From the video description:
Joseph Smith’s mother, Lucy, remembers him telling the family about Book of Mormon civilizations before the Book of Mormon was translated. Some critics interpret this as evidence that Joseph just made the book up, but is that what his family believed? Where was Joseph getting this information from? And does the “storyteller” theory make sense of the available evidence?
