  • possessed by love
    May 10 2026

    In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis reflect on Elder David A. Bednar’s talk All Who Have Endured Valiantly, sharing insights on fatherhood, discipleship, and the influence of living as an example for others. They explore how following Christ daily shapes not only our lives but also those who look up to us.

    The conversation reframes what it means to “endure to the end,” shifting it from something heavy or difficult into a life filled with the pure love of Christ. Instead of just getting through life, the hosts emphasize becoming “possessed” by Christlike love—where service, growth, and transformation happen naturally as we draw closer to Him.

    This week’s challenge: reach out to one person each day and check in on them. Through simple, intentional acts of love, we can move from being passive to truly living as disciples—giving love freely and, in turn, receiving it more abundantly.

  • the comeback story
    May 4 2026


    In this episode of This Is Kingdom: A Good News Brand Podcast, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis dive into Elder Gilbert’s talk “Come Home,” focusing on the power of returning to Jesus—and helping others do the same.

    TJ shares a personal story about a time he felt himself drifting and struggling to come back. What made the difference wasn’t a big moment, but a group of friends who simply welcomed him in. Their love and consistency helped him find his way back, showing how powerful it is to just be there for someone.

    That idea builds into a central theme: it’s not about calling people out, it’s about calling them up and calling them in. Small invitations, genuine friendship, and seeing the potential in others can change everything.

    Hollis shares a powerful story of a girl on the verge of leaving her faith who heard “I love you” at the exact moment she needed it, reminding everyone that God is aware of the details—and often works through simple moments and willing people.

    The episode ends with a clear challenge: pray for someone each day and look for a way to invite them closer to Jesus. Because sometimes, helping someone come home starts with something as simple as reaching out.

  • love bigger
    Apr 25 2026

    In this episode of This Is Kingdom, the group continues sharing their biggest takeaways from General Conference, and one theme stands out above everything else: Jesus. They reflect on how every talk pointed back to Him, and what it looks like when your focus becomes Christ in real, everyday situations.

    TJ shares how centering life on Jesus changes everything, and how making Him your focus can reshape your reality. Talon builds on that idea by talking about growth, using a personal story about realizing his potential wasn’t as limited as he once thought. Sometimes it takes stepping into a new environment to see that there is more available to you than you ever imagined.

    Grace shares a powerful line that became her one takeaway: “I can love even more.” What struck her most was that even an apostle realized his capacity to love was still growing. That idea shifts everything. Loving others is not something we ever max out, it is something that continues to expand as we follow Jesus.

    The episode ends with a simple but powerful challenge: set daily reminders asking, “How can I love even more right now?” Then act on the answer. Because the purpose of life is not just to learn about love, it is to become it.
