    Staying Faithful in a Confusing World, The Wheat and the Tares: a Conversation with Stone Stockman (Ep 91)

    What does it really mean to be “wheat” in a world full of tares—and what happens when we realize we’ve been both? In this powerful and honest conversation, we sit down with Stone Stockman, whose love for Jesus Christ is as contagious as it is sincere. Together, we dive into the parable of the wheat and the tares and explore the tension so many of us feel: how to love others fully without compromising our own discipleship. Stone shares deeply thoughtful insights on why people step away from faith, the difference between motives and reasons, and how we can respond with Christlike love instead of judgment. We also talk about spiritual burnout, the trap of “checklist righteousness,” and the freeing truth that our relationship with Jesus Christ is not about perfection—but about striving. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt (your own or someone else’s), struggled to balance truth and love, or wondered how to stay rooted when others walk away—this episode will meet you right where you are.Find and Follow Stone on Instagram @faith.set.in.stoneResources Used In This Episode:Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43Alma 29:1-3Alma 32:17-191 John 2:1-4Henry B Eyring, General Conference Oct. 1998 A Voice of Warning - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsNew episodes are released every Wednesday morning.To invite Jenny and Lee to speak at your fireside, devotional, Relief Society activity or other event, email them at [email protected].  They love invitations to speak either in person or virtually, and speak on a variety of topics including divine identity, how to lean on the Savior in both good times and hard times, and preparing for the Second Coming, both spiritually and temporally.ABOUT US:The Dents In My Armor is a podcast of BECOMING for LDS Women.

    Exposing Satan’s Playbook: The Recycled Lies That Keep Us Stuck In The Same Place (Ep. 86)

    Satan hasn’t needed new lies since the beginning—he simply keeps repeating the same ones. In this episode, Jenny and Lee explore some of the common lies the adversary uses to discourage, distract, and pull us away from Jesus Christ. From feelings of inadequacy to distorted views of our identity and worth, these patterns of deception show up again and again in our lives. Together they discuss how recognizing those lies helps us respond differently—and how choosing Christ allows truth, grace, and clarity to replace the adversary’s distortions. This conversation invites listeners to look more carefully at the messages they’re hearing, recognize the voice of the adversary, and remember that the Savior’s truth always leads us back to hope, identity, and peace.Resources:2 Nephi 2:112 Nephi 28:8Doctrine and Covenants 19:15-18Genesis 50:20Henry B.

    Choosing Christ When You Feel Unqualified: A Conversation with Kirstin Baxter (Ep. 85)

    What does it look like to choose Christ when life feels messy, unfinished, and overwhelming? In this deeply tender conversation, Jenny and Lee are joined by Christ-centered coach Kirstin Baxter to talk about discipleship in real life — motherhood, comparison, imposter syndrome, grief, identity, and the quiet work of becoming. Together, they explore what it means to partner with Christ daily, to embrace both our divine and human selves, and to recognize that growth never means outgrowing our need for the Savior. This episode is an invitation to stop striving for arrival, to release comparison and shame, and to trust that grace meets us exactly where we are.

    Weary, Willing, and Still Trying: A Conversation with Comedian Annie Ogden (Ep. 84)

    What does it look like to choose Christ when life is changing, questions are unresolved, and the future feels uncertain? In this episode, Jenny and Lee sit down with Annie Ogden for an honest conversation about discipleship in the middle of becoming. Together, they explore how covenantal living shapes our identity, how God works through uncertainty, and why choosing Christ often looks less like having answers and more like trusting Him one faithful step at a time. This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for clarity before committing, to let go of comparison and timelines, and to choose the Savior right where you are — unfinished, faithful, and becoming.Find Annie on Instagram @ogden_annieResources Used In This Episode:Henry B.

    Choosing Christ in the Gap: Where Growth, Trust, and Miracles Begin (Ep. 83)

    When life doesn’t move as quickly or cleanly as we want it to, it’s tempting to rush past the discomfort and “fix” the gap. In this episode, Jenny and Lee explore what happens when we try to eliminate the very space where Christ is meant to do His finest, most miraculous work. Tune in as they share their personal experiences, scripture, and draw heavily from President Dallin H. Oaks’ recent devotional at Brigham Young University. They talk about the sacred role of waiting, growth, humility, and trust — and why the gap between where we are and who God is helping us become is not failure at all, but a consecrated, holy space. This conversation invites us to stop running, start trusting, and choose Christ right where we are.Resources Used In This Episode:Proverbs 3:5 Coming Closer to Jesus Christ | Dallin H.

    Turning Our Hearts Toward Our Ancestors: Choosing Christ Through Family History (Ep. 80)

    In this episode of The Dents in My Armor, Jenny and Lee continue their season-long conversation about choosing Christ. This conversation explores family history—not as a task rooted in the past, but as a present-day act of discipleship. They reflect on how family history and temple work find hearts, deepen relationships, and teach us how the Savior loves. This conversation invites listeners to see remembering, recording, and turning hearts as living practices that connect generations, offer divine help, and bring peace during seasons of disappointment or uncertainty. Choosing Christ through family history becomes less about doing more and more about belonging—learning who we are, who we’re connected to, and how small, faithful efforts matter now and eternally.Resources Used In This Episode:John 5:3-8 (KJV) Malachi 4:6 (KJV)Jeffrey R.

    Children of the Covenant: Choosing Christ Everyday (Ep. 79)

    Join Jenny and Lee continue their season-long conversation about choosing Christ by focusing on covenants—not as checklists or pressure, but as a living relationship with the Savior. They explore how covenants create safety, strength, and space to practice discipleship in real life, especially when life feels heavy, uncertain, or imperfect. This conversation reframes covenants as a gift that supports agency, growth, and belonging, rather than a standard we have to perform our way into. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of commitment or unsure how covenants fit into your everyday life, this episode offers a gentler, more grounded way to understand what it means to choose Christ through covenant relationship—one ordinary day at a time.Resources Used In This Episode:D.

    The Sacrament: Choosing Christ, Again and Again (Ep. 78)

    In this episode of The Dents in My Armor, Jenny and Lee center their conversation on the sacrament—not as a routine or checklist, but as a living, weekly invitation to choose Christ again. They reflect on how the sacrament invites presence rather than performance, covenant rather than perfection, and returning rather than restarting. This episode explores how the sacrament meets us in our real lives—our questions, weariness, growth, and desire to come back to Christ honestly, not impressively. As part of the season-long conversation about choosing Christ, this episode reframes the sacrament as a sacred pause: a place to remember, reorient, and receive grace—again and again.Resources Used in the Episode:Gospel Topics, The Fall, Church WebsiteDavid A Bednar, Always Retain a Remission of Your Sins, April 2016 General ConferenceJeffrey R.

With warmth and wisdom, they highlight the essential role of holy habits, the need for community and covenant connection, and the sustaining power of partnering with the Savior during life’s challenges.Embrace the discomfort of growth, lean into divine guidance, and find peace in the promises of Christ, even amid spiritual darkness.References Used In This Episode:Matthew 11:28-30Luke 15:20, 28Philippians 2:10-16Doctrine & Covenants 50:40-46Russell M Nelson, Overcome the World and Find Rest, General Conference, Oct 2022Russell M Nelson, Think Celestial!, General Conference, Oct 2023Russell M.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

A podcast of BECOMING for LDS Women. Using sources of truth, Jenny D. Webb and Dr. Lee Burdge unfold Gospel topics in relatable conversations about how the challenges of mortality are completely conquerable when you draw upon the powers of Heaven. Laugh and cry along with them as they tackle topics like relationships, parenting, growing older, loss, love, faith, and joy. Jenny and Lee firmly believe that the dents we sustain in our armor as we fight life’s battles do not define us, but are merely evidence that we can stand firm in our faith, and like the Savior, overcome the world.

HOSTED BY

Dr. Lee Burdge and Jenny D. Webb
