What if you knew God had the power to save you but He didn't? Would you still trust Him? 🔥 That's the kind of faith we're talking about this week!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into seven action-packed chapters of Daniel, filled with fiery furnaces, lions' dens, mysterious messages, and incredible examples of courage. But at the heart of it all is one powerful lesson: True faith means trusting God, even when things don't turn out the way we hoped.

In this episode, you'll learn:

🥦 How Daniel's obedience to God's commandments brought blessings and what that teaches us about living the Word of Wisdom today

🔥 Why Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego's declaration of "but if not" is one of the greatest examples of unwavering faith in scripture

🦁 How Daniel remained faithful in the face of opposition and what his courage teaches us about standing firm in our beliefs

God has the power to deliver us from our challenges, but faith isn't about guaranteeing the outcome we want. It's about knowing we can trust Him no matter what happens.

So here's your challenge: Read Elder Dennis E. Simmons's talk But If Not… and ask yourself, "Am I willing to follow God even when the answer isn't what I hoped for?"

Then choose to stand like Daniel, trust like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and keep your faith firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.

He can deliver us. But if not… will we still believe? ❤️🔥

Did You See That Warning Sign?02 Nov 202600:31:38

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into Ezekiel to explore the role of prophetic watchmen, the gathering of Israel, and why simply hearing God's word isn't enough. We need to internalize it and act on it!

In this episode, you'll learn:

📖 How Ezekiel's prophecy of the sticks of Judah and Joseph connects the Bible and Book of Mormon and why studying both matters

📣 Why the Lord calls prophets to be watchmen and how their warnings can protect us from spiritual dangers

❤️ What President Oaks taught about diminishing faith in Jesus Christ and how keeping commandments, honoring covenants, and attending the temple can strengthen us

🍯 Why Ezekiel was commanded to "eat" God's word and what that teaches us about making scripture and prophetic counsel part of who we are

The Lord hasn't left us to navigate life's challenges without direction. He's given us scriptures, covenants, and living prophets who love us enough to sound the alarm. But a warning only helps if we choose to listen.

200 EPISODES, BABY! 🎉🥳 This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe celebrates 200 episodes and dives into the book of Jeremiah to explore foreordination, agency, and the incredible potential God sees in each of us.

Isaiah the Lyricist28 Sep 202600:32:01

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe discovers the incredible music inspired by Isaiah’s words and explores how these ancient prophecies can bring comfort, strength, and hope as we prepare for General Conference.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

🎼 How Isaiah 40 inspired some of the most recognizable songs in Handel’s Messiah and what they teach us about preparing for the Savior

💪 Why the words of Isaiah 41 inspired the beloved hymn How Firm a Foundation and remind us that we never have to face life's challenges alone

🔥 How the Lord uses our trials to refine us and why General Conference can provide the answers, encouragement, and spiritual renewal we need

As General Conference approaches, will you make time to listen for the Lord's voice? Will you seek answers to your questions, find strength in sacred music, and spend time in the temple? This week, turn up the music, open your scriptures, and prepare your heart to hear Him! 💙

Double Black Diamond21 Sep 202600:28:57

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe heads into week two of Isaiah to uncover a powerful contrast: Satan wants us to believe he has more power than he actually does, while Jesus Christ offers us something completely different power, refuge, and rest.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
📖 How using the footnotes can unlock Isaiah and why they should become part of the way you study all scripture
⚡ What Isaiah 14 teaches about Satan's actual power and why following him gives away something Christ wants us to keep
🛡️ How Jesus Christ becomes our strength and refuge when life feels overwhelming, difficult, or completely out of our control
❤️ Why Isaiah's promise of eventual rest can give us hope while we're still navigating the hard parts of mortality

Satan's strategy depends partly on convincing us that he's more powerful than he really is. But he cannot simply take away our agency, our covenants, or the power available to us through Jesus Christ. So when life feels like you're staring down a double black diamond, remember you don't have to navigate it alone.

Go & Do Challenge

  • Use the footnotes
  • Take back your power
  • Find rest/refuge in Christ

Come, Learn, Walk, Become14 Sep 202600:31:43

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe begins the journey through Isaiah by looking at how the Savior Himself feels about Isaiah’s words and exploring one powerful pattern hidden in just three verses: come, learn, walk, become.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
🔎 Why Jesus Christ specifically commands us to search the words of Isaiah diligently and how approaching Isaiah as the voice of the Savior can change the way we study
⛰️ How Isaiah 2 connects the “mountain of the Lord’s house” with the temple and the gathering of people from throughout the world
👣 Why coming to Christ and learning His ways isn’t enough we’re invited to actually walk in His paths and allow Him to change us
🕊️ What beating “swords into plowshares” can teach us about putting down our own modern-day weapons and becoming people of peace

Isaiah’s prophecy isn’t ultimately just about millions of people coming to a place. It’s about what happens inside us when we come to Christ, learn from Him, and choose to walk differently because of what He has taught us.

Go & Do Challenge

  • Search Isaiah’s words with me, at least for the next few weeks
  • Come, learn, walk and day by day become

Did You Say You’re a Ruby?07 Sep 202600:31:23

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe digs into Proverbs and the difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. These short teachings aren’t just ancient fortune-cookie sayings they’re invitations to learn eternal truth, understand why it matters, and then actually go and do something with it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
🧠 The difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom and why knowing something isn't the same as living it
📖 How Proverbs 3 connects surprisingly well with the For the Strength of Youth guide and its pattern of eternal truths, invitations, and promised blessings
💎 Why Proverbs compares wisdom and a virtuous woman to precious rubies and what that teaches about the kind of character God values
❤️ Why your worth isn't something you earn through perfect obedience. It is constant, God-given, and far more precious than anything the world can put a price tag on

So this week, find your proverb—a truth you can internalize and actually live. Gather the knowledge. Seek to understand the why. Then use wisdom to put it into action. Because you aren't called to just know the gospel. You're called to live it. And never forget...you’re worth far more than rubies. 💎❤️

Go & Do Challenge

  • Find a proverb to internalize/live by
  • Focus on Knowledge (gathering eternal facts), Understanding (get the why) and Wisdom (apply it).

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe wraps up the book of Psalms by looking at something that gets louder and louder as the book comes to a close: praise. After chapters filled with fear, grief, mistakes, repentance, miracles, and deliverance, Psalms doesn't end because life suddenly becomes easy. It ends with an invitation to praise the Lord anyway.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
🙌 Why praising the Lord is more than singing and how actively putting God at the center of our lives brings hope and happiness
❤️ What it really means when the scriptures say the Lord “loveth the righteous,” and why our sincere efforts to follow Him matter
🎵 How Primary songs, hymns, and other music of faith can become spiritual “power ballads” that bring peace when life feels upside down

So what’s your power Primary song? What song brings you back to Christ when life feels chaotic, discouraging, or upside down? Find it. Sing it. Share it. And this week, look for more ways to praise the Lord not because everything in life is perfect, but because He is worthy of our praise. 🎶💙

In this episode, you’ll learn:

🙏 Why trials can prove and refine us and how remembering the times God has already brought us through can strengthen our trust in Him
❤️ How Psalms 77 and 86 invite us to remember God’s works, talk about what He has done, and pass our songs of faith on to others
🎧 Why the soundtrack of your life might say more about your testimony than you realize and how your music can become part of the spiritual legacy you leave behind

So, what’s your song? What music reminds you that God has heard your prayers? What songs are you sharing with the people you love? And what would you sing if the Savior were standing right in front of you? This week, build your soundtrack, remember what God has done for you, and share your testimony even if you have to sing it.

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into the book of Psalms a collection of 150 ancient songs and prayers filled with joy, gratitude, fear, anger, sadness, hope, and praise. Turns out, people have been using music to work through their feelings and connect with God for a very long time.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
🎵 Why the Psalms remind us that faith doesn’t require hiding what we really feel and that God wants us to bring our real thoughts and struggles to Him
🙏 How music can become a powerful form of prayer, and why the Lord tells us that “the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me” (D&C 25:12)
❤️ How the songs we surround ourselves with can invite the Spirit, strengthen our trust in Christ, and even connect us to people and sacred moments we love
📖 What Psalms like Psalm 8, Psalm 20, Psalm 23, Psalm 24, and Psalm 40 teach about trusting God, remembering who we are, and praising Him through every part of life

So this week, create the soundtrack of your life. What songs bring you closer to Christ? What hymns have strengthened you when you needed them most?

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

When life gets hard, what keeps you believing? And when you have questions about faith, why do you stay? This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into the story of Job, a man who seemingly had everything, lost nearly everything, and still declared, “Yet will I trust Him.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 💔 What Job’s devastating losses teach us about trials, grief, and the different ways people respond to difficult experiences
 🙏 Why mortality was always meant to include opportunities to be tested and why our current circumstances are only one part of our eternal story
 ❓ How separating primary questions from secondary questions can help us navigate doubts, disagreements, and unanswered questions without losing sight of what we already know

Job didn’t have every answer. He didn’t understand why everything was happening to him. But underneath all the questions were the truths that mattered most: Is there a God? Is there a Savior? And can He save me?

So this week, Candis invites you to wrestle with your own primary questions and discover your own answers.

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

What if the "coincidences" in your life aren't coincidences at all? This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe shares heartfelt experiences from listeners before diving into the remarkable story of Queen Esther, a woman whose courage, faith, and willingness to act changed the course of history.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 👑 Why Esther's famous invitation to serve "for such a time as this" is just as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago
 🙏 How prayer, fasting, and courageous action work together as God accomplishes His purposes through ordinary people
 💛 Why the "small details" of our lives may actually be evidence of Heavenly Father's guiding hand

Esther didn't know exactly how everything would work out. She simply chose to trust God, gather others in faith, and act with courage when the moment came.

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe walks through the final chapters of 2 Kings as Jerusalem falls, the children of Israel are scattered, and the warnings of the prophets are fulfilled. But amid the tragedy, one righteous king reminds us of the incredible power found in God's word.

 👑 Why King Josiah's discovery of the Book of the Law sparked a national spiritual revival

And do we have a scripture that has become part of who we are?

Have you ever experienced a miracle… and almost missed it? This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe explores some of the most miraculous chapters in the Old Testament as the prophet Elisha demonstrates God's power through ordinary people and extraordinary circumstances.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 🪓 Why the story of the floating axe head reminds us that God cares about both the big moments and the small details of our lives
 🌊 What Naaman’s healing teaches about humility, faith, and acting on prophetic counsel, even when it doesn't make sense at first
 🐻 Why the account of the bears and Elisha is about much more than children teasing a bald prophet and what it teaches about honoring God's servants

As you study this week's scriptures, consider where you've seen the Lord's hand in your own life and whether you're willing to follow the living prophet, even when the invitation seems simple.

Because sometimes the greatest miracles begin with one small act of faith. 💙

Go & Do Challenge

  • Will you go and look for miracles in your life

Don’t Halt, Follow the Old Man29 Jun 202600:32:26

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe explores two very different approaches to leadership, discipleship, and decision-making. One king ignored wise counsel and divided a nation. One prophet trusted God completely even when he felt alone.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 👴 Why Rehoboam’s decision to ignore the “old men” teaches us the value of wise and experienced counsel
 🔥 What Elijah’s life reveals about trusting God, even during fear, loneliness, and uncertainty
 🎧 How the Lord often speaks, not through earthquakes or fire, but through a still, small voice. Sometimes spiritual growth doesn’t stop because we choose the wrong thing, it stops because we never choose at all.

Go & Do Challenge

  • Follow the counsel of old men
  • Stop halting and choose to follow God, if He is God
  • Identify the still small voice in your life

Adultery, a Vision, a Baby, the Temple, What Will You Choose?22 Jun 202600:33:17

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe follows the dramatic transition from King David to King Solomon, a story filled with agency, spiritual gifts, temple worship, and a powerful reminder that how we finish matters just as much as how we start.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 👑 How Solomon’s humble request for discernment became one of the greatest spiritual gifts ever granted by God
 👶 What the famous story of the two mothers and one baby teaches about wisdom and seeing beyond the obvious
 🏛️ Why Solomon’s Temple remains a powerful symbol of God’s desire to dwell with His covenant people today

But there’s another side to Solomon’s story. He loved the Lord. He received revelation. He built the temple. Yet later, he surrounded himself with influences that slowly pulled his heart away from God. His life becomes a reminder that spiritual experiences alone are not enough; we must continue to choose God day after day.

What will you choose? ✨🙏

Go & Do Challenge

  • Choose God and His ways… You know, walk with Christ
  • Seek spiritual gifts, like the power of discernment
  • Get a copy of your local temple dedicatory prayer and seek those blessings specific to your area
  • Be a temple-attending, covenant-keeping person

You’ve Gotta Have Your Why15 Jun 202600:28:45

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe explores the rise and fall of King Saul, a man who started with a new heart, great potential, and God’s trust… but slowly traded obedience for popularity and convenience.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 ⚖️ Why Israel’s demand for a king reveals a common trap we still face today, wanting what everyone else has
 👑 How Saul went from God’s chosen leader to a cautionary tale about pride, impatience, and people-pleasing
 ❤️ Why David was chosen as the next king and what God looks for when He chooses His servants

Saul wanted the blessings of following God without fully following God. And in the end, partial obedience became disobedience. The question for us is simple: What are the “kings” in our lives? What voices are we listening to more than the Lord’s?

Because God isn’t looking for perfection, he’s looking for willing hearts that choose Him first. ✨

Go & Do Challenge

  • This week’s challenge is a little different and more entailed because we find it multiple verses
    • 1 Sam 18:5 - behave wisely
    • 1 Sam 18:14 - behave wisely
    • 1 Sam 18:15 - behave very wisely
    • 1 Sam 18:30 - behave more wisely than all
  • It is your why – make the choice to honor your covenants with God, put Him first, even when it may be hard
  • “May we maintain the courage to defy the consensus. May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.” (Pres. Monson, GC April 2016)
  • Behave wisely = make following God your WHY

Put It On My Tab01 Jun 202600:30:59

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe explores the stories of Ruth and Hannah, two women facing heartbreak, uncertainty, and impossible circumstances… who chose faith anyway.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
💔 What Ruth’s loss and Hannah’s unanswered prayers teach us about navigating personal trials
🙏 How the actions we choose during difficult seasons shape who we become
🌾 Why choosing the covenant path invites blessings we often can’t yet see coming

Ruth had no clear future. Hannah carried deep sorrow. But both women chose to trust God instead of turning away from Him. And maybe that’s the question for all of us: What are we putting on our tab? Fear? Frustration? Complaining? Or faith, obedience, and trust in the Lord? Because while we can’t always choose our trials…We can choose our response.

Sarah’s Miracle, Lot’s Fate23 Feb 202600:29:20

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe walks through a powerful and complex stretch of Genesis that places two lives side by side: Sarah, who trusted God for a miracle, and Lot, whose choices tied his heart to Sodom.

In this episode, you’ll explore:
 ✨ Sarah’s miracle what her promised son teaches us about faith, patience, and trusting God with what feels impossible
 🏃 Lot’s escape from Sodom and what his family’s fate reveals about influence, hesitation, and the danger of looking back
 🏔️ Why “the mountain” matters and how modern prophets echo the same invitation today: get to higher, holier ground

These chapters remind us that miracles often require surrender—and safety often requires separation. So the question becomes: What are you trusting God with… and what are you still looking back at? This episode invites you to turn hard things over to the Lord, recognize miracles already in your life, and choose the higher ground again and again.

Go & Do Challenge

  • Turn our hard things over to the LordG

Camping OT Style16 Feb 202600:32:59

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

What does camping have to do with covenants and why does the direction your tent faces actually matter? ⛺👀 This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe sets up camp with Abraham to help us understand one of the most important foundations of the Old Testament: covenants what they really are, why they matter, and how they shape our relationship with God and each other.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
 🏕️ What a covenant truly is not a checklist, but a two-way relationship where God sets the terms and we choose to trust and act
📜 The Abrahamic Covenant unpacked property, posterity, and priesthood—and why those promises still apply to us through baptism, the sacrament, and the temple
🧭 Why the way your “tent” faces matters what Abraham and Lot’s choices teach us about focusing our lives toward God or drifting toward the world

Abraham trusted God and pitched his life toward Him. Lot looked a little too long toward Sodom and eventually moved in.

This episode invites you to level the ground, understand your covenants more deeply, and intentionally orient your life toward God because trust grows where focus goes.

Go & Do Challenge

  • Read the block, specifically Gen. 12-17
  • Go and be trusted by God and trust God
  • Pitch your tent – your life – focused on God

Intentional Obedience09 Feb 202600:27:51

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into the story of Noah and the Flood to explore what intentional obedience really looks like and why God never forces it.

In this episode, you’ll consider:
 🌧️ Why the people in Noah’s day “hearkened not”—again and again—and how that mirrors modern choices
🚜 A personal (and painful) lesson on delayed obedience, complete with a lawn mower and real consequences
📜 How God’s laws always come with blessings but also consequences, because He honors agency
❤️ Why obedience is not blind or forced, but a willing expression of love what some leaders call “affectionate obedience”
❓ The pivot question Noah’s story asks each of us: Do I really love God and am I willing to show it His way?

God won’t force obedience. But He also won’t remove the consequences of ignoring His voice.S o what is He asking you to do right now? And will you choose to respond not eventually, not halfway but intentionally?

Go & Do Challenge

  • What are ways we can more obediently show our love for God?
  • Sunday: Take upon you Christ’s name, Look to God first, Gain a testimony of living prophets, cultivate joy and gratitude
  • Show your love, in this love month, by being intentionally obedient.

Pure Weak Enoch02 Feb 202600:29:48

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

Can weakness really become strength? And can ordinary, imperfect people actually become Zion? 🤍
This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe takes us deep into Moses 7 the powerful, emotional story of Enoch and the City of Zion and reframes it through one surprising lens: pure weakness.

Enoch didn’t start strong. He didn’t feel capable. He didn’t believe he was enough. And yet, through Christ, his weaknesses became the very tools God used to build a city so righteous it was taken into heaven.

In this episode, you’ll explore:
 💔 Why God doesn’t wait for strength before He calls us—and how Enoch’s fears mirror our own
💪 How Ether 12:27 plays out in real life, as Enoch’s weaknesses are transformed through faith in Christ
🏛️ Why the temple matters when you don’t know what to do, and how peace often comes before answers
🗣️ What it means that God spoke to Enoch “face to face” and what that invites us to believe about our own relationship with Him
❤️ How Zion begins in the heart, with being “pure in heart,” unified in purpose, and real before God

Zion wasn’t built by perfect people. It was built by people who took their weaknesses to the Lord—and let Him do the strengthening. So what will you do with your weak things? Will you turn them over, draw nearer to God, and let Him make you mighty? Because Zion still begins the same way it always has one heart, one mind, centered on Christ.

Go & Do Challenge

  • Be more Pure
  • Attend the temple

Walk With Me26 Jan 202600:33:08

What does it really mean to walk with God? 🚶‍♀️✨
This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe invites us to stroll through scripture, family history, and the powerful story of Enoch a prophet remembered for one simple but life-changing description: he walked with God.

Genesis 5 gives us a fascinating family record long lives, faithful generations, and one standout figure who didn’t just live a long time, but lived close to God. Moses 6 then pulls back the curtain and shows us how Enoch learned to walk with Him and how we can too.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
 🧬 What our family histories (scriptural and personal) teach us about legacy, teaching faith, and walking patterns we inherit
👣 Why “walking with God” is more than a phrase, and what it actually looked like in Enoch’s life
😬 How feelings of inadequacy don’t disqualify us from God’s work Enoch felt them too
🗣️ What it means to be “wild” for the gospel, and why strong, faithful conviction matters
📖 How to take counsel from God instead of the world, and better align your life with Him

God’s invitation to Enoch is the same invitation He extends to us today:
 “Walk with me.”

So how will you do that in 2026?
Will you listen, follow, trust, repent, and believe?

He’s already walking—He’s just waiting for you to join Him. 💛

Go & Do Challenge

  • Search Moses 6 to find ways you can walk with God in 2026
  • Follow the prophet
  • Be wild
  • Take counsel from God
  • Turn to Him, hearken, believe, repent, be baptized, pray in faith

The Devil Made Me Do It19 Jan 202600:30:32

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe walks us through the Fall of Adam and Eve and the tragic story of Cain and Abel to answer a question we’ve all wrestled with: How much power does Satan actually have over our choices?

Using insights from Moses, Genesis, and the Book of Mormon, this episode clarifies Satan’s role and our responsibility.

In this episode, you’ll explore:
 ⚖️ Why opposition is essential to God’s plan, and how Satan fits into that eternal law (2 Nephi 2)
🔥 How Lucifer became Satan, and the difference between his plan and Christ’s plan (Moses 4)
🍎 Why Adam and Eve weren’t “forced” to fall, but were enticed and what that teaches us about agency
🩸 What Cain’s choices reveal about accountability, secrecy, and Satan’s influence
🧭 Four powerful modern lessons about temptation, hiding from God, repentance, and the hope of the gospel

Satan can tempt. He can persuade. He can lie. But he cannot make you choose.

So the real question isn’t “Who made me do it?” It’s “Who will I choose?”

Because daily decisions really do determine destiny. ✨

But I Am Not Creative12 Jan 202600:33:34

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

“I’m just not creative.” 🎨🚫
Have you ever said that about yourself? This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe invites you to rethink what creation really means and what it reveals about you.

As we study the Creation accounts in Genesis, Moses, and Abraham, we discover that creation isn’t just about art or talent it’s about vision, obedience, responsibility, and divine identity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 🌍 What the Creation teaches us about God’s pattern that all things are created spiritually before they are created physically
 👩‍🦱 Why Eve is the crowning work of Creation, and what that teaches us about partnership, sealing, and divine worth
 💡 How creativity goes far beyond art, and why envisioning, believing, and acting are part of our God-given capacity to create

You were created by a Creator and that means creating, caring, and building are part of who you are.
 So maybe the real question isn’t “Am I creative?” but “What will I create this year?” ✨

Go & Do Challenge

  • Study creation and create – as His children, we have this innate ability.
  • Be responsible stewards.

What's Your Work?05 Jan 202600:34:14

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

What are you really doing with your time and how does it line up with God’s work? This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe reflects on purpose, perspective, and eternal priorities through the powerful lenses of Moses 1 and Abraham 3.

As we remember the life and example of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, this episode invites a deeply personal question: What does my work look like in the grand scope of God’s plan?

In this episode, you’ll explore:
 🌌 What it means to “hie to Kolob” and how Abraham’s vision reshapes our understanding of time, mortality, and eternity
⏱️ Why mortality is incredibly short from God’s perspective and how even “90 minutes” of goodness can matter eternally
📖 The difference between God’s work and our work, and how proving ourselves happens through daily choices (Moses 1:39; Abraham 3:25)
🏛️ Why the temple matters so much when it comes to seeing God, knowing Him, and aligning our work with His

God’s work is eternal and so is your potential. Let's Go & Do.

  • Be good/do good for 90 minutes

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

Welcome to Season 4 of Go & Do! This year, Candis Shupe invites you into an ancient book with a powerful, modern focus: finding Christ page by page, story by story.

The Old Testament can feel overwhelming at times, filled with unfamiliar names, cultures, and stories. But when we know what to look for, it becomes one of the clearest witnesses of Jesus Christ and His gospel.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✝️ Why the Old Testament is all about Christ, even when His name isn’t obvious and how Jesus Himself identified as the God of the Old Testament
📜 How covenant names like “Jehovah” point directly to the Savior, revealing His role long before His mortal ministry
📚 How to study the Old Testament this year using the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and modern revelation to uncover timeless gospel truths

This season isn’t about checking boxes or getting through chapters it’s about learning to see the Savior everywhere, including in your own life.

So as we begin this new year and a new book of scripture, here’s the invitation:
 Will you look for Christ?

We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail!

What has Jesus Christ changed in your life this year? ✨
As we close out the year on Go & Do, Candis Shupe invites you to pause, reflect, and do the most important thing we can ever do testify of Jesus Christ.

This episode centers on The Living Christ, the powerful declaration issued by modern prophets and apostles, and why their witness matters just as much today as it did 25 years ago.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✝️ Why The Living Christ matters now and how internalizing its message can change the way you think, repent, and live
📖 How scripture gives us a pattern to truly know Christ, not just believe in Him (D&C 19; D&C 93)
🌍 What modern apostles are teaching today about hope, grace, peace, and preparing for Christ’s Second Coming

The testimonies are clear. The witnesses are united. And the invitation is personal.
 So the real question is this: How will you testify of Christ starting today?
