Latter-Day Try-Hards

What does it mean that Jesus Christ is the True Vine? How many different plant based analogies are in the scriptures?? Are the scriptures vegan?!? We answer only one of these questions today as we tackle the next try hard commitment to cling to Christ as our beacon and guide - what is he tellilng us we need to cultivate better in our lives? #lds #mormon #growth #jesusisking #christian

What does it mean to love everyone? And what does it mean to love someone specifically? Elder Causse gives a great talk regarding how we can best implement both of these approaches to love all and to love each person. The Try Hard commitment for this week? Pray to God about various individuals in your life by name to know who needs to be show individual love. Reach out to show love to at least one of those people as you are inspired. #lds #mormon #childofgod #charity #godlylove

We like to label ourselves in the world we live in. Not all labels are bad, but all fall short of one label: Child of God. We have divine potential because we have a Heavenly Father who is our God and Father. Let’s tap into that this week and connect more with our God to better know who we are and what God wants us to do! #lds #mormon #childofgod #divineidentity #truth

You want the proof of the truth of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ? Elder Holland is your guy. Per his testimony, the gospel is simple and full of evidences of the truth and goodness of God. How can we recognize that this week? Listen for the challenge at the end and we hope you join us in recording evidences of God. #lds #mormon #godisnotdead #jesus #truth

One of the most powerful tools at our disposal is the power of gratitude. No matter how bad things get, we can always find things to be grateful for. God will take those experiences and consecrate them for our good. God math is crazy in that way! #lds #mormon #thankful #jesus #gratitude

It's the small and simple things we do that help us become more like Christ, not the monumental achievements. Join the Try Hards today talking about Elder Cziesla's recent general conference address about "Simplicity in Christ" and join the challenge of the week!

Sometimes we are harder on ourselves than we ought to be. Elder Matthew Holland has some great words of wisdom for how we can do better at showing ourselves mercy. And there’s an important place to do that... #lds #mormon #mercy #jesus #temple

What better way to dig into culture and opinions and doctrine than by slamming down some hot wings! Today we tell some stories of our past as we’ve been a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we deliver some hot takes on some controversial issues, and end with some sincere testimony - all as the heat keeps building up. From Jalapeno to the dreaded Carolina reaper sauce, it gets toasty here. #lds #mormon #doctrine #hotwings #spicyfood

We know how Jesus feels about us burying our gifts. Anything we are given shall be taken from us if we waste it. However! If we share our gifts and talents, they will be magnified and begin to multiply - a beautiful blessing from God indeed! #godisgood #talent #jesuschrist #mormon #lds

As Elder Stevenson teaches us, Peacemaking is not a new or radical idea. However, we would argue that it is a radical practice. Just look at our online world and all of the bickering and contention going on. We gotta inject peace in this world! Join us for today's episode to get some challenges not so subtly from Elder Stevenson himself on how we can make peace! #lds #peace #jesuschrist #mormon #podcast

Elder Bednar's talk in 2025 General Conference takes some digesting. After following up on last week's commitment to family history and writing down our testimonies, the trifecta take on the great Elder Bednar's initially cryptic talk about being our own judges. After some marinating though, it finally cracks open and we get a better idea of how to repent this next week.

The Try Hards dig into Elder Brown's latest General Conference talk from October 2025. Our commitment this week is to put our testimonies down - seal them in stone for our future posterity!
