Sisters: Latter-Day Voices

Hi! We are sisters, Candice and Clare, and we are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who are looking forward to connecting with like-minded people about how to strengthen our testimonies of Jesus Christ and follow Him better. We do not claim to be scholars or perfect members and Latter-Day Voices acknowledges that not every journey looks the same. By having honest conversations about our trials and triumphs, sharing and learning from life experiences, we can hopefully find the joy in this journey of life. This podcast is a place for connection, understanding, and strengthening faith through our Savior, Jesus Christ.

    When Our Understanding Gets in the Way

     Sometimes our own understanding can become the biggest obstacle to faith. In this mini episode, Candice and Clare talk about trusting God when life does not make sense, remembering that He sees the full picture, and finding peace through Christ. With personal stories, a few laughs, and an uplifting quote from Jeffrey R. Holland, this episode is a reminder that good things are ahead. Jeffrey R.

    Untangling Culture and Doctrine

     In this conversation, we’re joined by guest Lauriann for a thoughtful discussion on untangling culture and doctrine and how easily the two can become blended in everyday church life. She shares personal experiences from growing up in the Church, teaching Gospel Doctrine, and living in different places that helped her recognize what is truly eternal versus what is cultural. Together, we explore how that clarity can bring more compassion, less judgment, and a more Christ-centered way of viewing parenting, church experiences, and one another. Sisters with Latter-Day Voices websiteTranscript Fair Use & Disclaimer This podcast may include brief quotes from outside sources used for discussion, education, and commentary under fair use.

    Moses’ Origin Story- Brain Rot (Part 1)

    Candice retells the story of Moses like you’ve never heard it before… in full brain rot. From river basket beginnings to plagues and a Red Sea moment that hits different, this mini episode is chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly meaningful. But beneath the slang and laughs is a real message, sometimes the scriptures can feel just as confusing as teenage lingo, and we need the Holy Ghost to truly understand them. Sisters with Latter-Day Voices websiteFair Use & Disclaimer This podcast episode may contain brief quotes from external sources, used in a positive and respectful manner for discussion, education, and commentary.

    House vs Home, Creating a Christ Centered Home

    What really makes a house a home? Is it square footage, decor, and dream features like fountains and secret gardens, or is it something deeper?In this episode, we talk about the difference between a house and a home and what it means to create a Christ centered home in a very imperfect world. From childhood dream houses to real life routines with kids, we share honest thoughts about consistency, safety, creativity, and inviting the Spirit into our everyday spaces. We talk about the shift to home centered, church supported worship, what we can control when our homes do not feel peaceful, and how even a tent in the wilderness can become a sacred place.Home is not something you buy. It is something you build. And it starts with love.Clickable links belowDavid O McKay quoteTemple1 Nephi 2:2-41 Nephi 17:3, 21Matthew 8:20Sisters with Latter-Day Voices websiteTranscript Fair Use & Disclaimer This podcast episode may contain brief quotes from external sources, used in a positive and respectful manner for discussion, education, and commentary.
