At the conclusion of 2023 — a remarkable year for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — Doug Wilks, Deseret News executive editor, and Hal Boyd, Deseret News editor and executive editor of Deseret Magazine, join the Church News podcast to discuss the news of the Church and how it intersected with national, local and government news this year. They talk about temple construction, dedications and announcements, the leadership of President Russell M. Nelson, the Church’s promotion of religious liberty, and Latter-day Saint humanitarian work and emergency response efforts. 

The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Get ready to embark on an intoxicating journey from pharmaceuticals to whiskey with Ashley Barnes, the master blender for EJ Curley and Company. Ever wondered what it takes to have the perfect nose for whiskey blends? Ashley reveals her intriguing transition into the whiskey industry and how she hones her sense of smell and taste to create the perfect blends. Sip along as we delve into the scientific art of whiskey blending, the impact of gender and hormones on our senses, and how Ashley's experiences with cooking and herbalism have refined her palate.

Nothing can beat a fine glass of whiskey, but what if I told you the glass could change the experience? We're joined by Martin Duffy, the North American representative for Glencarin's crystal glass company, who shares his insights about the importance of glass at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and in the whiskey making process . As we swirl our drinks, we compare and contrast the Four Roses whiskeys and discuss how pricing can influence taste perception. 

Finally, let's hop across the Atlantic to France, where Ashley shares about Two Worlds Whiskey, a French-inspired bourbon whiskey she co-created for the distinguished French palate. We discuss the unique sourcing and blending processes, and the concept of the French American Alliance. We wrap up with a sneak peek into Ashley's whiskey classes, her collaborations with other industry artists and a discussion about the voting process for the best 10 whiskey brands. Expect a film this year, and in the meantime, raise a glass to this riveting episode!

Q1 - Is there any evidence/ best practice on using chunking when reading?
Q2 - Can you please help me dot and dash the word pleased, as in I was pleased that happened?
Q3 - I struggle to monitor progress regularly in my year one class. What tips do you have to make that work? Where do you snatch the time to do it?

Today's amazing episode asks powerful questions about the church's role in ministering to stepfamilies. 

Church Leaders: What if you (your church) were known for that consistent soft landing where kids felt safe to express their hurts about their broken families?

What if you were the church that could roll out the welcome mat and say, "Come on in. We understand that life is tough for you as a blend. We may not get all your hurt, but we get that you have been hurt and we want to let you know that you are forgiven. It's safe here. Come on in.!"

 What if your congregation was known for welcoming and ministering to blended families?! What would change in your ministries & outreach?

Join Pastors Josh Groce & Bill Rogers, along with their wives, Kristy Groce & Jen Rogers as they explore these and other blending hot buttons and offer up some ideas about the theology of divorce.

What do you think? Do you agree? The church is a blended family made up of adopted people into the kingdom family where all brothers and sisters. By adoption, we are all brothers and sisters. Not because we were born that way--we've all been grafted in and that's a blended family!

Ever wonder what your stepkids are thinking?!  You're not alone, stepmom. We've got you, stepdad! The reason blending families feels so hard is because creating stepfamilies IS HARD!!!

From our guest: "We're humans. So it's going to be hard.  I don't even fault my dad or my stepmom or my stepdad for the way they handled the situation. They handled it the best way they knew how; it just doesn't have a great outcome, but we're humans. So, it's a learning process. I hope by me speaking that it can impart some kind of deep pondering on to the adults listening."

Whew! Powerful words from our next guest, Terri Smith, Founder of Freshen Up and stepdaughter of two families who experiences significant transitions as Terri's parents determined how best to raise her.  As stepparents still processing the impact of stepfamily dynamics, we appreciate Terry's nuggets of wisdom! Thank you, Terri for sharing with us on how to deal with the "stinky" situations of stepfamily living!

Psalm 31:24

Put liars in their place so you can focus on what is most important, your family unit.  Blended Life is riddled with lies, gossip, gaslighting and other hurtful and oftentimes destructive lashes of the tongue.  While this really can be hard for us adults, it's often detrimental to the children's well-being; they are the ones who really suffer.  Since we can't control our exes, or their new spouses, we must deal with the liars in our lives from the inside out.  On this episode of Blended Life we discuss how to put liars in their place for the children's sake.  Enjoy!

Truth Telling In Your Blended Family Life can be a tricky thing to navigate, especially when there's heightened emotions involved.  On this episode of Blended Life we discuss why telling the truth is important, what keeps us from doing so, and how to truth tell so that it creates connection and protects relationships.  We also talk about when and what truths you may want to hold onto and why we don't truth tell naturally, even when we know we should.  Enjoy!
