Advice from “The World’s Worst Mom”

When Lenore Skenazy’s son was nine, he asked her repeatedly if she would let him have a solo adventure in their hometown of New York City. Her son had a specific plan for this adventure: he wanted her to take him somewhere new in the city and then let him find his own way home. Lenore took the leap of faith, and when her son burst into their apartment later, he was practically “levitating with pride and joy” at what he had accomplished.

How to Be a Strong Woman Leader

President Russell M. Nelson has asked the women of the Church to rise to their potential and be a strong force for good not only in their homes but also in the Church and in their communities. But far too often women feel like they fall short and don’t have what it takes to be an effective leader. Coach Meg Tilton is on the podcast today to talk about women leadership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how all women already have leadership qualities, it’s just a matter of recognizing them and using them in their own way to bless the lives of those they lead. Meg is passionate about helping women in the Church rise to their fullest potential and she feels like when women recognize that they are meant to lead in their own way and do the work to discover what that is, they will be able to make the impart President Nelson is calling them to make.

2 Nephi 6–10

In this episode we’ll talk about 2 Nephi chapters six through ten. This is the first time we hear the words of the prophet Jacob. We’d been introduced to him earlier, but now we start to get some insight into his character and challenges. It would appear that Jacob suffered from chronic anxiety. We’ll talk about how he handled his anxiety issues. We’ll review the writings of Isaiah that he quoted, and how these writings clearly communicate hope to all who struggle with challenges. We’ll discuss how coping with mental health issues requires consistent work and effort, but is quite possible.

Overcoming Trials and Swimming the English Channel

As Greg stood in front of his Elder's Quorum one Sunday, he knew that many of them were going through really difficult trials.  It was in this moment that he made the comment "I could probably swim 45 yards on my own, but with God's help I could swim the English Channel". 6 years later at the age of 52, he actually did. Greg's story isn't merely a tale of athletic triumph; it's a journey of battling through the storms of addiction, business failure, health scares, difficult trials, and the quest for purpose. Greg's reflections on the miraculous assistance he received, the significance of family support, and the life lessons that emerged from the depths of the English Channel encapsulate his 15-hour testament to human endurance, all anchored by an unshakeable faith.
