Jenny Oaks Baker: The Wisdom in God's Plan For Our Lives

When she was just 7 years old, Ore Kaffo was abducted from her foster family—the only family she had ever known—by her birth mother. After living her entire life in England, a place that had always been happy for her, she found herself back in her home country of Nigeria. Her entire world was changed, and along with that, she struggled to make sense of her identity. As she wrestled to understand her new existence, she came to realize that she is, first and foremost, a child of God. On this week’s episode, Ore shares her remarkable story and her undeniable light. 2:17- White Nanny, Black Child 15:01- Lessons From Foster Father 18:15- Learning From Missionaries and Becoming One 29:00- Reunited 33:07- No Heroes and No Villains 40:50- Identity as Children of God 44:47- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “It doesn’t matter if somebody is from Zibwabwe or Tokyo or Pakistan or from America, if we all identify as children of God then we are one people.” Links:  Ore’s website: <a href="https://ore-lou.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://ore-lou.com/</a> For UK listeners, here’s a link to “White Nanny Black Child,” the documentary that tells Ore’s story on Netflix: <a href= "https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81789241?s=i&trkid=258593161&vlang=en" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81789241?s=i&trkid=258593161&vlang=en</a> “White Nanny Black Child” trailer: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDiilPLxs6k&pp=ygUXd2hpdGUgY2hpbGQgYmxhY2sgbmFubnk%3D" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDiilPLxs6k&pp=ygUXd2hpdGUgY2hpbGQgYmxhY2sgbmFubnk%3D</a> Ore on Good Morning Britain: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpZWDzdGoNA&pp=ygUXd2hpdGUgY2hpbGQgYmxhY2sgbmFubnk%3D" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpZWDzdGoNA&pp=ygUXd2hpdGUgY2hpbGQgYmxhY2sgbmFubnk%3D</a>

Ore Kaffo: The Transformative Difference of Understanding Your Identity as a Child of God

Olympic silver medalist Kenneth Rooks shocked the world when he worked his way from the back of the pack to become the second American to medal in the 3,000-meter steeplechase since 1984. But those who recognized Rooks’ name know that this isn’t the first time he’s come from behind. In fact, in 2023, Rooks fell in his third lap at the USA Track and Field Nationals but came back to win the race. Both races were a spectacle—incredible athletic feats—and, on today’s episode, we talk with Rooks about what he’s learned from them. 2:13- If Ye Are Prepared 7:10- Gospel Allegories in the Race 13:22- Self-Improvement Vs. Comparison 18:36- The Patience To Stick To The Game Plan 25:25- Being Coached By Ed Eyestone 32:03- Faith and Running 37:02- Pre-game Ritual 40:50- A Large Latter-day Saint Contingent 43:26- Discipline and Consistency 47:19- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “All In doesn’t mean that you’re not going to forget sometimes. You might forget what matters most. Being all in is being able to recognize when you forget and trying to remember. …Those who are all in try to remember quickly.” Links: 2023 USATF Nationals Race: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT1ody_cpCA&t=190s" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT1ody_cpCA&t=190s</a> 2024 Paris Olympic Race: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNgzHlE3Hko" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNgzHlE3Hko</a> Church News article about Kenneth: <a href= "https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/book-of-mormon-kenneth-rooks-byu-steeplechase-olympic-silver-medal" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/book-of-mormon-kenneth-rooks-byu-steeplechase-olympic-silver-medal</a> Other links: <a href= "https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/08/07/kenneth-rooks-latter-day-saint-silver-medalist/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/08/07/kenneth-rooks-latter-day-saint-silver-medalist/</a> <a href= "https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/08/07/byu-cougars-runner-kenneth-rooks-wins-silver-medal-in-olympics/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/08/07/byu-cougars-runner-kenneth-rooks-wins-silver-medal-in-olympics/</a>

Ryan Shupe: Big Dreams and Little Decisions Ryan Shupe is best-known as the singer of a hit song called “Dream Big” but on today’s episode, Ryan shares with us his take on small decisions and how those small decisions can have big, lasting impacts. Ryan shares that these decisions are often the result of trusting in personal revelation and acting on that inspiration. So, while Ryan’s life has certainly been impacted by a single song, he recognizes that it has been many decisions along the way that have made all the difference. 1:54- The Father of Ryan and Bluegrass in Utah 5:15- 5 A.M. Fiddle Practice 10:16- Changed By a Mission 14:19- The Kind of Hit Dreams Are Made Of 21:15- Decisions for Life 31:53- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “The only thing you can’t buy is time and so you can only spend so much time in your life on any one thing so whenever you’re doing something, you’re just taking time away from something else, right? So it’s just this balancing act of how far do you push something because you know if you keep pushing maybe you could get that but it would be at the expense of something else.” Links:  Deseret News articles referenced: <a href= "https://www.deseret.com/2006/11/24/19987240/the-unique-sounds-of-ryan-shupe/"> https://www.deseret.com/2006/11/24/19987240/the-unique-sounds-of-ryan-shupe/</a> <a href= "https://www.deseret.com/utah/2021/7/4/22554176/all-eyes-on-wallsburg-utah-as-the-father-of-bluegrass-music-readies-for-a-festival-of-a-lifetime/"> https://www.deseret.com/utah/2021/7/4/22554176/all-eyes-on-wallsburg-utah-as-the-father-of-bluegrass-music-readies-for-a-festival-of-a-lifetime/</a> Dream Big Music Video- <a href= "https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3KwEuNapzt0&pp=ygUJRHJlYW0gYmln"> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3KwEuNapzt0&pp=ygUJRHJlYW0gYmln</a> ----- Join us for Magnify's Lift Up Your Heart coming this fall!

Ryan Shupe: Big Dreams and Little Decisions

Clay Sheffield’s life is a miracle. Perhaps because of the faith of his three older siblings, the nearly 2-year-old little boy with a million dollar smile is still alive more than a year longer than doctors ever expected. Still, Clay’s life doesn’t look quite the way his family anticipated or hoped. Instead, the Sheffields are learning that sometimes the miracle is in the gift of ordinary days and in knowing that where covenants are made and kept, stories always end in happily ever after.  1:58- Clay’s Emergency Delivery 8:49- Then To Now 16:09- Redefining the Miracle 19:29- The Power of “And” 22:20- The Faith of Children 29:14- Choose This Day 31:29- Covenants 33:18- Making Intentional Memories 39:45- Ordinary Days 44:43- Being Pruned 47:54- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “I already know the ending of this story and this story is pretty great. We have made covenants that whatever happens this story ends up that we’re going to be together so we’re just going to live.”
