Cydni and Sher

Send us Fan MailRepentance shouldn't feel scary. It should feel like coming home. This week Cydni and Sher try to reframe repentance. Repentance isn't about shame, punishment, or keeping a running list of everything you've done wrong. It's about turning away from sin and turning toward God. They dig into what Elder Neal A. Maxwell and Sister Tamara Runia have to say about it, why Rudy the dog getting stuck behind the bed is actually a perfect metaphor, and why Cydni still wishes we could just sacrifice a dove and call it good.

Send us Fan MailFaith is not just something you have, it is something you build. This week Cydni and Sher dive deep into what faith actually is, where it comes from, and why the Hebrew word for it, emunah, means something much bigger than belief. They walk through the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11, talk about the man who waited 38 years by the healing pool, and ask the question that changes everything: do you have the faith to not get what you want? This week's episode is "Faith Is Your Craft" and we are so glad you are here!This Week's ChallengeReframe how you see your faith and become the craftsman of it.

Send us Fan MailWhat do the Spartans at Thermopylae, George Washington at Valley Forge, and a herd of buffalo all have in common? They all faced the storm head on — and so can we. This week Cydni and Sher dig into what it actually looks like to be a disciple of Christ when there is no way out, only through. They talk about Elder Neal A. Maxwell's extraordinary lesson that not shrinking is more important than surviving, how to reframe the arrows flying at you as shade worth fighting in, and why the gospel basics are really just Spartan training for your soul. There is also a lot of Cydni bringing heart and chaos, which AI apparently told her is her entire job description.

Send us Fan MailCourage is just the starting point. This week Cydni and Sher talk about what courage is actually building toward — a deep, rooted, unshakeable confidence in God that holds even when life shakes you to your core. Cydni shares something deeply personal about her own testimony, her healing journey, and how she learned to shrink her fears and grow her faith. Sher brings the history — William Tyndale, Elizabeth Elliot, and pioneer ancestors who gave everything for the gospel they believed in. And there is a beautiful look at the Hebrew meaning of the word faith that will completely change how you think about it.

Send us Fan MailApril 2026 General Conference fell on Easter weekend, and the messages were deeply Christ-centered and personal. Cydni and Sher discuss the talks that moved them most, the quotes they can't stop thinking about, and what they felt inspired to change. Cydni opens up about a silent prayer and how President Eyring's talk answered something she didn't even know how to ask. Sher reflects on the image of the Savior praying for each of us by name, and why that changes everything. Along the way there are a few laughs, a forgotten outline, and an amazing statistic about General Conference.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we learn Sher has been hiding under a blanket, Cydni's 16-year-old just got his driver's license, and somehow both of those things tie perfectly into this episode about courage. We're talking about why God literally commands us not to fear, what Daniel in the lion's den can teach us about daily habits, how a tornado saved Washington DC, and why living small is kind of an insult to the gospel. There's also a story about a Costco tire guy who will make you want to live bolder starting today. Courage isn't the absence of fear — it's the mastery of it.

Cydni and Sher dig into the Resurrection, what love and hope actually look like when life gets hard, walking with Christ the second mile, and why reassurance might be the most underrated word in the gospel. There's also a hot Pilates class, a dog named Rudy, and Cydni nearly saying "resurrection" wrong about four times.

Send us Fan MailPalm Sunday is one of the most joyful moments in the Easter story—crowds cheering, palm branches waving, and people shouting Hosanna! But within just a few days, that same city would call for Jesus to be crucified.  In this episode, we step back and look at the history and symbolism behind Palm Sunday and why so many people misunderstood who Jesus really was. As we focus on the basics of the gospel, Palm Sunday reminds us that discipleship comes from developing our own testimony and choosing to follow Him with humble hearts.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the key to preserving freedom isn’t politics — but parenting?  n this episode, we go back to the basics. From modern prophets to America’s founders, the message is the same: agency is sacred.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Cydni and Sher discuss God’s command to teach our children and what that really looks like in real life — shower curtains, messy days, and all. Drawing from Elder Taniela B. Wakolo’s talk “God Loves His Children,” they explore three ways God parents us: through relationships, through prophets, and through loving correction. They talk honestly about grace, consequences, guilt versus shame, and the importance of co-parenting with God. Ultimately, they remind us that we teach best when we love first, point children to the Savior, and trust God with the rest.  This episode is "Teach with Grace and a Backbone" and we are so glad you are here! This Week's ChallengeThis week, prayerfully identify one youth in your life who needs extra love and intentionally do something meaningful to help them feel seen, valued, and cared for.Sponsor: Finley Law Firm -  Comprehensive Estate Planning Be prepared for the expected and the unexpected.Take the first step to peace of mind now.Click here for a free consultation with Chris Finley.
