Understanding GOD'S PLAN for FAMILIES Amid Today’s DECLINING BIRTH RATES

Jan 02 2025 31 mins  
In this episode, the Eyres review a current article they wrote at latterdaysaintmag.com on the factors that influence couples in deciding whether to try to become pregnant and have a child; and then Richard and Linda expand the discussion to what declining fertility means to the economies and cultures of developed countries around the world.

"REPLENISH": Could Breaking the Primal Commandment Threaten the Planet and the Plan?

Dec 27 2024 31 mins  
The Eyres dive deep in this episode into the question of declining birth rates and the seeming inability of developed countries around the world to replace their populations and maintain their work forces. The macro societal question of "demographic winter" is also a personal question for many couples who are trying to decide whether or not to have children. Also see cover story th

The WRAPPINGS and the GIFTS at CHRISTMAS

Dec 19 2024 31 mins  
Richard and Linda talk about a different kind of gifts on this episode--spiritual gifts in the form of new insights and eternal truths that they believe were part of a "Restoration" that occurred to start the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A God-initiated restoration is very different than a man-originated reformation and the Eyres discuss that difference today. (Corr

FAMILY-CENTRIC SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS

Dec 12 2024 29 mins  
Linda and Richard are in Phoenix this week and involved in discussions about how all parents worry about Social Media and Screen-Time, but not enough of us know about all the good and family-prioritizing influencers that are out there. How do we find the "good stuff" online, even as we are trying to protect from the bad? Then the Eyres turn to Christmas, and shifting the family foc

SENIORS (aka MASTERS)

Dec 06 2024 29 mins  
Today the Eyres do a deep dive into the questions of ageing, of relevance, of diversity, and of the enormous and growing (but undervalued and underused) asset of those who are over 70. If you are a senior, how do you stay relevant in your family, in your church, in your community? And if you are younger, how to you honor and tap in to the wisdom? Maybe, as in sports, we call the ol

KIDS, GRATITUDE, and COUSINS

Nov 29 2024 30 mins  
On the morning after Thanksgiving, Richard and Linda talk about their day of gratitude with their family and the guest family of refugees from Guatemala who joined them for the holiday. Is gratitude inversely related to how much we have? Why do those with less blessings seem to appreciate them more? Two of the Eyres' grandkids join them for part of the podcast.

R&SCF

Nov 22 2024 29 mins  
In the Eyre family, R&SCF stands for Relationship and Spiritual Creation Facilitation. Richard and Linda have adopted a deliberate goal of getting their grown children away from their normal routine and responsibility for short R&SCF adult trips where communication and goal setting (spiritual creation) is fostered and facilitated. They are on a R&SCF trip at an ancient hacienda in

JOY, HUMOR, UBUNTU, MISOGI, NAMASTE

Nov 15 2024 29 mins  
The Eyres start off today's show with a discussion of joy and humor and whether or not they are depending on the favorability of life's present circumstances. They then move to three words which shed light on the subject: an African word, a Japanese word, and an Indian word.

HOLIDAYS!

Nov 08 2024 31 mins  
Richard and Linda discuss the Holiday Season and how our families can make the Gratitude of Thanksgiving lead into and prepare ourselves and our children for the true meaning and Grace of Christmas. "Gratitude," the Eyres say, "Is not just the Path to Happiness, it IS Happiness in its most obtainable form," and they read a little from the book they wrote a few years ago: DAILY THAN

3-Letter Lessons, ALM and WIN

Nov 01 2024 28 mins  
Casting from Las Vegas today, the Eyres finish a discussion they started last episode about the 3-letter lesson ALM referring to the acts of mercy and compassion that Jesus called alms. An act of service or lifting is called an "almdeed" in the New Testament. They then juxtaposition that word with the 3-letter lesson WIN which is a blessing when we make it a win-win, and a curse wh
