Are we living in the last days? What signs of the Second Coming have already been fulfilled—and which ones are still ahead?

In this episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with Jared Davies from the Christian Homestead YouTube channel to discuss the signs of the times, prophetic interpretations, and how modern prophets help us understand scripture.

We explore fulfilled prophecies, the mysterious 144,000, events unfolding in Israel, preparations for a future temple in Jerusalem, and why many signs of the Second Coming may happen more naturally than we expect.

Rather than predicting dates, this conversation focuses on paying attention and keeping your eyes open to what is happening around you and the world right now.

If children are ‘useless,’ then what does that say about how we define worth?

In this episode, we talk about the profound blessing of raising children — including children with disabilities — and why their lives are never a burden, never “less than,” and never without purpose.

We also react to the powerful Brigham Young University speech, “Why Children Became Useless,: Faith and the Future of the Family” and unpack what our culture gets wrong about the value of children.

Children are not useful because of what they produce.
They are valuable because of who they are.

This conversation will challenge you, soften you, and remind you what really matters. Motherhood doesn’t make life smaller. It makes it sacred.🤍✨

In this inspiring episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with Erica to talk about the 12-Step Addiction Recovery Program within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — and how it truly transforms lives.Erica shares her deeply personal story of addiction, divorce, grief, childhood wounds, codependency, and the heartbreaking loss of her father to suicide. Through it all, she discovered that the 12-Step program isn’t just for “extreme” addiction — it’s a divinely inspired pattern of healing for anyone whose life feels unmanageable.We talk about:• How childhood trauma shapes adult patterns• The difference between addiction and the root wounds beneath it• Why honesty (Step 1) is the beginning of freedom• How God stretches our wounds so they can finally heal• The power of anonymity and safe spaces• What it means to truly surrender to Christ• Why the 12 Steps mirror the repentance processWhether you struggle with alcohol, food, relationships, control, shame — or simply feel stuck in destructive cycles — this episode will show you that change is possible.The 12 Steps are not about shame. They are about identity. They are about remembering who you are as a child of God.If you’ve ever wondered whether the 12-Step program is inspired… this conversation might answer that for you.Resources:
