I believe I've mentioned before a podcast that I listen to called Pause Screen. It's hosted by a friend of mind from school, Kaz (who, you might recall, has made a number of guest appearances in this comic). Pause Screen is a video game podcast in which Kaz and a couple of her other friends talk about games they've been playing, bring up what's new in the world of gaming, hold occasional in-depth discussions about recent game news, and finally have a series of rotating segments where they'll give a "Top Five" list or a "Savepoint," in which one of the hosts will talk about a game they've played in the past.
It's a fun show to listen to. Pretty casual, nothing too fancy, but I kind of like it like that. It feels just like a few friends chatting about video games, making jokes, sharing memories, etc. I've been listening ever since they released their first episode, and have been an enthusiastic fan! And I knew very early that I'd love to be a part of it…
Which brings me to last week, when I made a guest appearance! It was neat! I got to come on towards the end of the episode to talk a bit about one of my favorite games from my childhood: Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure! And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Kyle, one of the other hosts, was also familiar with the game. I won't spoil what we talked about here; you'll just have to listen to find out! The whole episode is worth a listen, but if you're short on time or only interested in my segment, it begins right around 50:30.
Anyhoo, hope you enjoy! If you like the show, you can listen to previous episodes, or subscribe to them to get future episodes! You can find the episode I appear in by clicking <a href="http://ift.tt/2kPHFVn; target="_blank">here!</a>

Sure Foundation


It's been a while since the last Ponderize. I don't have much to add for this one, other than to say that the way we build the "foundation" mentioned in Helaman 5:12 is through the things we talk about in church all the time: earnest prayer, diligent scripture study, regular church and temple attendance, sincere service to others, etc. These things do not earn us our salvation. But they do strengthen our conviction and increase our resilience to sin and trials.
When the devil's whirlwind is raging, it is the rock of our Savior--not any earthly power--that will stand. And if we are firmly anchored to Him, then so shall we.

Never Wrong


(Myself not excluded.)

Here's a useful exercise. When was the last time you both recognized and admitted you were wrong about something you cared deeply about? Nobody is right all the time. And we're all willing to admit we're not perfect when our imperfections benefit us, like when we need an excuse for mistakes or misbehavior for example ("hey, nobody's perfect"). But why then, if we so readily recognize that we're not perfect, is it so difficult to recognize when we are wrong about something?

I think it's important to approach every conversation with the assumption that our own positions--yes, even our most precious opinions and beliefs--could be flawed, or completely wrong altogether. That doesn't mean you give them up without a fight; it does mean laying them on the line and putting them to the test. If it turns out they are wrong, then we can relieve ourselves of them and be better off for it. If we remain convinced that they are correct however, that conviction will grow even stronger.

There can be no "trial of faith" with no trial.
