Kenny Schank isn’t a professional musician, he’s an engineer who wanted to share his testimony that he has found true again and again — God loves His children. Now his children’s song “God Cares for Me” is in the new hymnbook.

The children’s song "He Cares for Me" in the new hymnbook "was a contribution that I could make to the Lord even if nobody else saw it," said the author and composer, Kenneth S. Schank.

My grandma’s recipe for carrot pudding is on an index card and includes things like suet, rounded teaspoons, and “pressure cook for two hours.” To recreate it, I need a copycat recipe with a dozen photos and detailed instructions.

A brief stop before his meetings. We only meant to browse. And yet...he couldn’t resist, and I left glowing.

The latest release for the new hymnbook included the children's song, "How Did the Savior Minister?" I talked to author Merrijane Rice and composer Jennette Jay Booth about how and why they wrote it.

KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson was such a great sport to come on the podcast and talk about a Hallmark Christmas movie featuring a meteorologist (though it was more about going back home, falling in love with a girl from high school, and saving Christmas).

I told my sibling group chat how excited I am about my new pillow and I think I’m scaring my youngest sister (20 years younger than me) about what her 40s will be like.

I loved talking to Wendy Platt about the new sacrament hymn “Help Us Remember” that she actually wrote in 1997. She was surprised and thrilled that it is in the new hymnbook. Here is the story.

Wendy Lynn Platt wrote "Help Us Remember" for the 1997 Church Music Festival. Now it is in the new global hymnbook. She hopes it helps people look more closely at the ordinance of the sacrament.

This is one of my favorite interviews. Porter and Carlie Ellett were wonderful to speak with. Their candor about challenges faced and faith needed to overcome them was inspiring. I kept hearing President @NelsonRussellM's words, "Let God prevail," in my head as we talked.

It's a night we need three screens to watch the Chiefs, the Jazz, and the World Series at the same time.
