In their "Familycentric" series, the Eyres continue to explore the benefits of viewing the world through a family-focused lens, and tell stories illustrating the world-wide phenomenon of people feeling deja-vu and the sense that they lived in some form of existence before being born on this earth. When this notion takes on a family perspective, it leads to a belief in a parental God who made this world as a place for us, his children, to grow and progress.

In this episode the Eyres continue their preview of their forthcoming book FAMILYCENTRIC and tackle a question that many people of faith wrestle with, namely "Does the Family support the Church or does the Church support the family? Which is eternal? Which is the means and which is the end? Getting those questions right can change everything.

The Eyre's will be back on a normal schedule next week! (Re-run from 07/28/2022) This episode is devoted to vision, dreams, and the ENDS that we want to work toward in our lives. The Eyre's begin with some final end-notes on their Family Reunion that has just concluded and then move to their three-letter lesson series where END becomes the focus, along with the MEANS or plans that get us to our desired family and relationship goals or ends. It is our envisioned ends that can guide and direct our whole lives!

In this episode the Eyres dive deep into the first essay in their forthcoming Familycentric book, and talk about often the lens we are looking through affects what we see as much as the thing we are looking at. They claim that an inclusive family-focused lens allows us to make more sense not only of our homes but of our Church.

In today's show, the Eyres express their desire to give the essence of their new book to podcast listeners before the book's release in the Fall. Sometimes the "lens" through which we view something determines what we see more than the actual thing we are looking at. Viewing God as a parent--as two Parents actually, a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother, changes how the whole Gospel looks and how it works in our lives.

The Eyres start the show with a question they have asked themselves: "Of all of our books, which one do we hope our great great great great great grandchildren will read?" The answer is their new book that releases this Fall, called FAMILYCENTRIC, which looks at the Restored Gospel through a family-centric lens and helps us know WHY we must RAISE our children.

Serendipity (finding things better than that which we were seeking) is easiest to recognize in hindsight. Today the Eyres tell the story of their gathering place at Bear Lake and how, with hindsight, it came about through a string of serendipities. Then they talk about how life unfolds and how God always says "yes" unless He has something better in mind.

The Eyre's had a grandson return home from his mission today! They will resume their regular schedule next week. (Rerun, 06/07/25) In this episode, the Eyres apply the sports or music term "score" to life and to its phases. They make the point that most of us have stewardship both over family members in their childhood and family members in their seniorhood, and that the two are both overwhelmingly important and should both be given highest priority.

Today the Eyres are reflecting on the past, present, and future of their lives and trying to explain the "eternal, inclusive, familycentric lens" through which they try to view both their own lives and the Gospel. They discuss their forthcoming book Beholding the Restored Gospel through a Familycentric Lens that they are writing with their Bulgarian Daughter Eva and her husband Adam.
