  • Job with Diane Neal

    Job with Diane Neal
    2026/08/10
    This week's episode is unlike any other. Connor and Chase sit down with actress and Israeli ambassador Diane Nea for a wide-ranging conversation that mirrors the Book of Job. Diane shares her extraordinary life story: from a decade-plus on Law & Order: SVU to losing everything. She talks about making aliyah and becoming an Israeli citizen, living in Israel during wartime, and finding herself in an unlikely role: literally gathering Israel as an ambassador for the Jewish homeland. Along the way, Diane draws stunning parallels to the Book of Job — the suffering that can't be explained, the friends who assume you must have done something wrong, and the enduring faith that carries you through anyway.

  • Esther with Liz Darger

    Esther with Liz Darger
    2026/08/03
    Connor Pay and Chase Roberts sit down with Liz Darger — Senior Associate Athletic Director at BYU — to dive into the Book of Esther from the Come, Follow Me curriculum. Liz shares her remarkable journey from Boise, Idaho to BYU's athletic department: a path shaped not by careful planning, but by a series of unexpected nudges from God, coaches, and mentors. Along the way, the three discuss what it means to show up with courage in a male-dominated industry, why God's hand is often most visible in hindsight, and how Esther's story mirrors the experiences of modern missionaries and everyday believers.

  • Ezra 1; 3–7; Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8

    Ezra 1; 3–7; Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8
    2026/07/27
    Connor Pay and Chase Roberts are back with a shorter-than-usual episode — Chase is reporting early to Las Vegas for Raiders training camp, and Connor is deep in final prep mode for BYU Football’s fall camp. Despite the condensed schedule, they each share one powerful insight from this week's Come, Follow Me study in Ezra and Nehemiah. Chase draws from Nehemiah 6:3 — "I am doing a great work so that I cannot come down" — and unpacks how Nehemiah's refusal to be distracted by enemies mirrors the subtle ways Satan tries to pull us away from our covenants. Not through dramatic temptation, but through the slow, quiet pressure to settle for "good" when God is calling us to "best." Connor takes a different angle, zooming in on the reconstruction of the temple in Ezra. Studying the temple as a personal focus lately, he traces a recurring pattern throughout the Old Testament: when Israel honored the temple and its covenants, they flourished. When the temple was neglected or destroyed, they fell. He connects that pattern to his own life — and to the joy he and his wife Mallory have found in regular temple attendance and family history work.

  • 2 Chronicles 14-20; 26; 30 with David Snell

    2 Chronicles 14-20; 26; 30 with David Snell
    2026/07/20
    Connor Pay and Chase Roberts welcome David Snell, the creator of the YouTube channel Keystone to discuss this week's Come, Follow Me lesson from 2 Chronicles. They use the story of King Asa as a launching point to explore why we sometimes stop trusting God when life gets hard. Together they discuss what it really means to be a peacemaker in today's world, what repentance actually looks like when you put it in football terms, and why clinging to temple covenants is the throughline of it all.

  • 2 Kings 16-25 with Professor Brad Wilcox

    2 Kings 16-25 with Professor Brad Wilcox
    2026/07/13
    Connor Pay and Chase Roberts are joined by BYU professor and author Brad Wilcox for a conversation about the similarities between the Revolutionary War, George Washington, and ancient Israelite kings. The trio dives into 2 Kings 16–25, exploring the reigns of wicked King Ahaz, faithful King Hezekiah, and reform-minded King Josiah — and how these ancient stories are strikingly relevant to the pressures of modern life. Brad draws on Seven Tipping Points That Saved the World to show how Hezekiah's faith-filled stand against the Assyrian Empire was a pivotal moment in world history that ultimately helped pave the way for religious freedom and the Restoration of the Gospel. They also discuss why peace, not just a good feeling, is the real sign of divine communication and the importance of counseling with women — from ancient prophetesses to modern Relief Society leaders.

  • 2 Kings 2-7 with Professor Ken Alford

    2 Kings 2-7 with Professor Ken Alford
    2026/07/06
    What do a Cold War Army colonel, a BYU religion professor, and an NFL wide receiver have in common? More than you'd think. This week, Connor Pay and Chase Roberts sit down with Professor Ken Alford — a retired U.S. Army colonel, West Point computer science professor, and now BYU Ancient Scripture instructor in his 19th year — to dig into 2 Kings 2–7 and the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. In this episode, Ken traces his remarkable dual career: from commanding troops in West Germany during the Cold War, to managing $5.5 billion in government IT contracts, to teaching church history at BYU. The trio also discuss the meaning behind the names Elijah ("Jehovah is my God") and Elisha ("God shall save") — and why that matters. And what does it really mean to receive a "double portion" of the Spirit? Plus, a deep dive into the story of Naaman: what a million dollars in silver, a dirty river, and seven baths teach us about humility, obedience, and stopping at wash number six.

  • 1 Kings 12-13; 17-22 with Professor John Hilton III

    1 Kings 12-13; 17-22 with Professor John Hilton III
    2026/06/29
    Connor Pay is joined by his brother Trevor, a current offensive lineman at BYU, and special guest Professor John Hilton III — BYU religion professor and Scripture Central contributor — for a deep dive into 1 Kings. John guides Connor and Trevor through the division of Israel under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the strange tale of the two prophets at dinner, the Widow of Zarephath's extraordinary faith, the iconic showdown between Elijah and the priests of Baal, and the courage of the forgotten prophet Micaiah. Along the way, the conversation weaves in real-life parallels: the weight of peer pressure, what it means to truly "burn the ships" in discipleship, how Coach Kalani Sitake used a President Nelson quote to rally BYU before a comeback win over Iowa State, and why Trevor chose to serve a mission even when it meant possibly never playing alongside his brother Connor — and how God honored that choice anyway.

  • 2 Samuel 11-12; 1 Kings 3; 6-9; 11 with Professor Ross Baron

    2 Samuel 11-12; 1 Kings 3; 6-9; 11 with Professor Ross Baron
    2026/06/22
    Connor Pay and Chase Roberts are joined by BYU Ancient Scripture professor Ross Baron for a deep dive into one of the Old Testament's most sobering stories — the fall of King David. They unpack how a man of towering faith could unravel so completely. Professor Baron brings the Hebrew text to life — revealing that David wasn't just "walking" on the roof; he was pacing, a caged lion far from where he was supposed to be. The group traces the small and simple failures that preceded David's great sin, the cover-up that followed, and Nathan's masterful parable that exposed it all. But this episode isn't just ancient history. Connor opens up about his own personal battle and the redemption he found through Christ. Chase reflects on life as a Raiders rookie in Las Vegas — and how the same temptations David faced are alive and well in every generation. Professor Baron closes with a powerful testimony anchored in the Savior's words from the cross: "It is finished."
