  • The Deceiver and the Discerner

    The Deceiver and the Discerner
    Jan 18 2025
    On this episode, the Eyres talk about the incredibly deceptive world we live in today--where AI can make it appear that someone we know and trust said something he never said at all. How do we combat deception, and how do we teach our kids to do so? How do we recognize a wolf in sheep's clothing? Is there a spiritual power we can tap into that discerns truth from error.

  • From INVISIBLE to INDISPENSABLE: Honoring Our “Seniors”

    From INVISIBLE to INDISPENSABLE: Honoring Our “Seniors”
    Jan 1 1970
    In this episode, Richard and Linda discuss how most other cultures in the world do a better job of honoring and "using" the wisdom and experience of their "seniors" than we do here in the American culture, where we tend to put our seniors "out to pasture." The Eyres then make some specific suggestions about how those over 70 (actually the fastest growing population segment) can make themselves more relevant.

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

    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.

  • The WRAPPINGS and the GIFTS at CHRISTMAS

    The WRAPPINGS and the GIFTS at CHRISTMAS
    Dec 20 2024
    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. (Corresponds to a current magazine cover, just google "Meridian Magazine")

    FAMILY-CENTRIC SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS
    Dec 13 2024
    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 focus from Santa to Jesus.

  • NIORS (aka MASTERS)

    NIORS (aka MASTERS)
    Dec 7 2024
    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 older divisions "Masters."

    KIDS, GRATITUDE, and COUSINS
    Nov 30 2024
    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.
