Eric Weddle: From Retirement to Super Bowl in Six Weeks

It was a call Eric Weddle never would’ve anticipated when he hung up his jersey for what he thought was the last time two years earlier. But the Los Angeles Rams were in desperate need of a safety and asked if Weddle would don the jersey for one last run. Weddle certainly didn’t feel he was NFL Playoff ready, but he was in good physical shape and has never been one to pass up an opportunity. So with the encouragement of his wife and kids, Weddle left his carpool duties as a father for a time and set out on an unlikely quest to win a Super Bowl. When the Super Bowl was over, he happily returned to the carpool.

Kathryn Davis: Parenting and Teaching Teenagers

Kathryn Davis, host of the new Magnify podcast, does not claim to be an expert on teenagers but she does have a few teenagers of her own and she does teach a lot more in her seminary classes each day. She has also been involved for years with the EFY and now FSY programs, and even worked with Stephen Covey to help implement and train the "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" into her high school curriculum. In short, while Kathryn may not consider herself an expert, she has definitely spent enough time with teenagers to speak to what they are like and why she absolutely loves them.

Daniel Peterson: The Power of a Witness

David Whitmer, Martin Harris, and Oliver Cowdery. Those are the well-known names of three men whose witnesses of the Book of Mormon stood the test of time, even if their loyalty to the Church sometimes wavered. But who were they? What about these men enabled God to use them in Restoration? Why did they all, at various points, step away from the Church? And why did two of them come back? On this week’s episode, Daniel Peterson, an executive producer of the new movie “Witnesses,” discusses the significance of these men’s roles in Church history and why we should hold gratitude in our hearts for their lives.

Strengthening Our Humility with Maria Eckersley

Do we sometimes look at being humble as being self-deprecating or diminishing our strengths? Being humble doesn’t equal being unimportant. Humility isn’t shrinking out of sight or shying away from being strong, and it isn’t hating on yourself. When we are truly humble, we can appreciate our own strengths and lift others as well. Like the saying goes, “All ships rise with the tide.” Being humble is another way to know our divine worth and the divine worth of others as children of God.

By Sheri L. Dew

In my early twenties, I admitted to a friend and mentor that I could feel the presence of the Spirit but couldn’t discern specific answers. He asked me if I had asked the Lord to teach me His language—meaning, what it felt and sounded like when He was speaking to me. I hadn’t, but that night I began to ask the Lord to teach me the language of revelation.
