His House

Creating an Intentional Family with Emily Hilton

In this episode, I’m talking with my friend Emily Hilton, a mom of four under five (including two-year-old twins!), about creating family values and building a family life with intention. We talk about sitting down as a couple and deciding what you want your family to be known for, how those values can shape the way you raise your kids now and in the years to come, and how they can help guide the way you spend your time, money, and energy. We also talk about keeping your marriage a priority in the middle of motherhood, continuing to date your spouse, weekly planning, budgeting, and the little things that help you build the kind of family life you actually want. Emily shares so much wisdom on being intentional without making family life feel complicated—and on building a beautiful life in the middle of the chaos. Follow Emily on Instagram - @emhilton_

The Way of Heaven: Rethinking Ministering in Motherhood with Carly Dowdle

In this episode, my friend Carly Dowdle and I talk honestly about what ministering actually looks like in the thick of motherhood. How do we minister when we have little kids, limited time, and barely enough mental space to remember what we had for breakfast? How do we know what to do when ministering feels vague? And how do we love and serve people without turning relationships into another checklist? We talk about making ministering feel natural, connecting with people who are different from us, recognizing spiritual promptings, knowing when we're doing enough, and learning to see the women around us the way the Savior does. We also share the beautiful ways ministering has blessed both of our lives. Drawing from Kristin Yee's April 2026 message on ministering, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes ministering is simply noticing, reaching out, and letting God love someone through us. In the end, it's the effort and the sacrifice that transform us and bring miracles into our lives. Other talks mentioned: "For Him" by Joy D. Jones "Ministering as the Savior Does" by Jean B. Bingham "Ministering with the Power and Authority of God" Russell M. Nelson "An Especially Noble Calling" by Joy D. Jones

Life Lately: What I’m Loving + Learning

This episode is a little bit of everything—basically a catch-up on all the random things I’ve been thinking about, loving, doing, and learning lately. Talking about our big pregnancy announcement (!!!!), our recent trip to Nauvoo, and one of the biggest things I brought home with me: a completely different perspective on the law of consecration and what it actually means to become more like Christ. Then we’re getting into some of my favorite things lately—from scripture insights and family routines to easy meals, working out, date nights, kid outings, things I’m listening to, and a few things I’ve recently bought and loved. Hopefully it feels like we're sitting on my old gingham couch together chatting about life lately and all the things currently taking up space in my brain.

Seeking Revelation to Bless Our Families with Karli Brown

As moms, we spend so much time trying to figure out what's best for our children. We read the books, listen to the podcasts, ask our friends, and search the internet—hoping someone has the answer we're looking for. In this episode, my friend Karli Kidd Brown shares the story of her son Beckham's first year. From a cleft palate diagnosis during pregnancy, to a premature birth, a long NICU stay, surgeries, and months of G-tube feedings and scary reflux episodes, she found herself in a season where she needed more than advice—she needed God. This conversation isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning that our Heavenly Father knows our children perfectly and wants to help us care for them. Karli shares how she learned to recognize His guidance through some of the hardest moments of motherhood, and why seeking Him first has changed the way she mothers. Whether you're facing a major trial or simply wondering how to best love the children God has entrusted to you, I hope this episode reminds you that He is willing to guide you, one step at a time. You can find Karli on Instagram @beingkarlibrown Genesis 17 is the chapter I mentioned when God says "I will" multiple times and demonstrates that He is pulling the weight in our covenants.

Raising Kids to Love God's Word with Megan Belle Freeman Lund

In this episode, I'm joined by Megan Belle Freeman Lund to talk about creating a home where the scriptures are more than another item on the checklist—they become a natural part of everyday life. Megan shares the traditions that shaped her own love for God's Word, how those experiences influence her motherhood today, and the simple rhythms she uses to introduce her two toddlers to Jesus. From daily "Jesus time" with hands-on activities to embracing imperfect, grace-filled rhythms, this conversation is full of encouragement for moms in the thick of little-kid life. We talk about strategies for making scripture study approachable for young children, following their questions, building meaningful habits over time, and trusting that God can do something powerful with our small, imperfect efforts. If you've ever felt discouraged by short attention spans, missed days, or just the chaos of life, this conversation is a reminder that teaching children to love God's Word doesn't happen all at once. It happens through consistent, ordinary moments of faith—one story, one question, and one day at a time. You can find Megan on Instagram @meganbellefreemanlund!

Stewarding a Home with Kynlee Hubbard

This week I'm talking with professional organizer and cleaner, Kynlee Hubbard, about moving from a mindset of perfection in the home to one of stewardship—seeing our homes not as spaces that exist to impress others, but as places we've been invited to cultivate with love, intention, and grace. From Monday cleans and ten-minute tidies to involving toddlers in housework and learning to be interruptible, this conversation is full of practical ideas and gentle reminders that our homes don't have to look like no one lives there to be places of peace. If you've ever felt like you're failing because you can't keep up, I hope this episode helps you breathe a little deeper and remember that Jesus is with us in the ordinary work of caring for our people and our homes.

Modesty, Finding Your Personal Style, and Divine Identity with Kennadee Limon

In this episode, I sit down with Kennadee Limón to talk about divine identity, personal style, modesty, and what it means to show up as your best self in this season of life. Kennadee shares her journey with Jesus, her struggles with perfectionism, and the powerful lesson that her worth comes from being a daughter of God—not from what she accomplishes. We discuss why individuality matters to God, how getting dressed each day can be a simple act of self-care, and practical tips for finding a personal style that helps you feel confident and like yourself again. Motherhood can make it easy to lose sight of who you are beneath the endless needs, routines, and responsibilities. And this conversation is about so much more than clothes..it's a reminder that trends come and go, but your divine identity never changes—and that being a mom is a role worth showing up for.

A Mother’s Love and the Savior’s Love: Lessons from Surrogacy with Myndie Tullis

You've heard this story through my eyes, but in this episode, you're hearing it from my mom's. After the complications that led to my emergency hysterectomy, my mom felt an unexpected impression while sitting by my hospital bed. As I was waking up from surgery, she voiced an impression that would change both of our lives: "You know I'll have your baby, right?" In this conversation on His House, my mom, Myndie Tullis, shares what happened next—from the spiritual promptings and confirmations that led her to become my gestational carrier to the lessons she learned about faith, motherhood, and trusting God through the unexpected. She opens up about those difficult weeks in the hospital through a mother's eyes, the experiences that gave her confidence she was on the right path, and how the journey deepened her understanding of Jesus Christ. We also talk about how God prepares us for mountains we don't yet see coming, the power available through covenants, and why a mother's love can teach us so much about the Savior's love for us. We also discuss lessons from nearly three decades of motherhood, the encouragement she would give to her younger self, and why she believes moms are often doing far better than they think. Whether you've followed our story from the beginning or are hearing parts of it for the first time, I hope this conversation reminds you that God prepares us for hard things, walks with us through them, and can turn even the most unexpected circumstances into something beautiful.

How Jesus Sustains Working Moms with Annie Eyring

In this episode of His House, Annie Eyring shares what life really looks like as a working mom raising three kids while supporting her family through her photography business during her husband's years in medical school. Together we talk about the pressure many women feel to do everything well, the guilt that can come from balancing motherhood and meaningful work, and how Jesus meets us in seasons that feel exhausting and overwhelming. Annie opens up about late nights editing after bedtime, learning to slow down instead of living in constant urgency, and the quiet ways God has strengthened and provided for her family over the years. This conversation is for the mom who feels stretched thin, stuck in survival mode, or wondering if she’s falling short spiritually. I'm hopeful this conversation can be a gentle reminder that God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking us to let Him walk with us through it.

Raising Compassionate Kids in a Divided World with Whitley Keleman

This week on His House, I'm joined by Whitley Keleman—a mother, professor, podcast host, and one of those people who makes you want to see the world more like Jesus does. From teaching a class on inclusion and belonging at BYU to creating her "Sit With Me" gatherings and podcast, Whitley has spent years intentionally listening to people’s stories, building bridges across differences, and helping others feel seen. Together with her husband and three kids, she’s also chosen a life of proximity—living abroad, immersing themselves in different cultures, and raising children to see and love people deeply. In this conversation, we talk about raising compassionate kids, creating a home where people belong, what living abroad has taught their family about joy and empathy, and how hearing people’s stories changes the way we see both others and God. This episode is a reminder that Christlike love often looks like slowing down, listening longer, inviting people in, and allowing ourselves to be changed by proximity to others. If you’ve ever wondered how to raise compassionate kids, create meaningful community, or better see people the way God does—this conversation is for you.

The Art of Documenting Motherhood with Ashley Teresa

In this episode of His House, I sit down with motherhood and film photographer Ashley Teresa to talk about seeing and capturing the beauty of the mundane moments of daily life. Ashley’s work captures motherhood in a way that feels deeply nostalgic, honest, and sacred—reminding us that the quiet moments we often overlook may actually be the ones worth remembering most. We talk about how film photography has taught her to slow down and become more present, how documenting everyday life can help us honor what God is giving us right now, and why the mundane moments of motherhood carry so much meaning. This conversation is an invitation to see your life differently — to notice the beauty already surrounding you, experience God in the ordinary, and embrace the life you’re living right now as the beautiful one. Whether you’re a mom in the thick of repetitive days, someone longing to be more present, or simply craving a slower and more intentional way of living, this episode will leave you inspired to notice, document, and cherish the sacredness woven into everyday life.

In that first year navigating heart failure as a brand new mom, she walked through an incredibly heavy season of health challenges and loss.

When Easter Becomes Real with Katie Gallardo

This week, I sit down to talk with Katie Gallardo about Easter and how it has become real to her over the past year. A year ago, Katie was a healthy mom of two little boys, living in San Francisco and filling her days with the beautiful chaos of motherhood. Today, she is a cancer survivor and a below-the-knee amputee after being diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma jsut days before Easter. In this conversation, Katie shares what it looked like to walk through diagnosis, chemotherapy, and amputation—all while raising young children—and how her relationship with Jesus Christ deepened. We talk about the questions that come when life doesn’t go the way you planned, what it means to worship God through pain, and how to notice the small miracles when you’re still waiting for the big ones. Because this episode is centered on Easter, we spend time talking about the Resurrection—not just as a doctrine, but as something deeply personal. What does it mean that Christ overcame death when you’ve had to face it so closely? How does “He lives” change when it becomes real in your own life? If you are in a season that feels heavy or uncertain, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone—and reminds you that Christ is present in all of it. And for those listening who aren't in the middle of a trying season, I hope this makes Easter feel a little bit more real. Happy Easter! To follow Katie's journey, you can find her on Instagram.

This week, I sit down with Dre Savage—wife, mom, and design lover—to talk about what it looks like to co-design an intentional life with God.

We talk about drifting versus choosing, the small areas of life we quietly neglect, and how learning to invite God into everyday decisions has changed the way she approaches her time, her relationships, and her priorities. If you’ve ever felt stretched, directionless, or unsure if your life reflects what matters most to you, I hope this episode reminds you that it’s never too late to start living more intentionally with God.

Learning the Heart of Jesus from Our Children with Abby Wuthrich

Throughout scripture, Jesus didn’t just tolerate children—He welcomed them, blessed them, and even pointed to them as examples of the kind of faith that belongs in the kingdom of God. In this episode, I'm joined by Abby Wuthrich—mom to 4, including cute Selah who deals with a variety of disabilities due to Congenital CMV—to talk about the surprising ways our children can teach us about the character of Christ if we slow down enough to notice. Through stories from motherhood— both beautiful and incredibly hard—we reflect on what it means to trust Jesus with the parts of life we never expected. One of the truths that kept coming up in our conversation came from Camille Johnson's thoughts shared in the 2026 Relief Society Devotional—we can do hard with Jesus, or we can do hard alone. The hard doesn’t disappear, but when we walk through it with Him, something sacred begins to happen—the hard becomes holy. This conversation is an invitation to pause, pay attention, and maybe even learn about Jesus from the little ones in your home.

A Few of My Favorite Things (Winter)

Welcome to the Favorite Things series! This will be a seasonal episode where I share a few things I've been loving lately, from routines and outings to insights from scripture. Here's a few of my favorites from winter: Currently changing into these pajamas as fast as humanly possible every night and then rereading my favorite childhood book series. Making this white chicken chili on repeat for months now and it's still just as good. Went on a 36-hour girls’ trip with few friends and it was just what I needed. Just a reminder to hang out with your girls outside of playdates. Implementing as much as I can from Hunt, Gather, Parent and already seeing such a difference in my home. Been thinking about the Hebrew word "avodah" which connects the ideas of work and worship. It’s helped me think differently about the ordinary things of life—motherhood, routines, caring for a home—and how those things can actually become a form of worship. Thanks for listening! Hope these episodes can feel like sitting at a favorite things party with friends and exchanging ideas for how to bring a little extra joy to your life.
