The call to parent in this life is one that Elder Uchtdorf said, “reflects the pattern of heaven.” The opportunity to help raise the rising generation—both as parents and leaders—can be a privilege and a responsibility. Elder Uchtdorf taught in his April 2023 General Conference message that Jesus Christ can be our strength and our guide as we try to parent and teach like Him.

This episode features two sisters—Saren Loosli and Shawni Pothier—and Kathryn discussing Elder Uchtdorf's recent message in General Conference, April 2023. They discuss this message and how small and simple efforts as parents and leaders can be magnified by the Lord.



Top takeaways from this episode:
God has given us an enormous amount of trust as parents to raise his children, and we need to be able to trust our children as well as we follow the divine pattern of heaven.
Look for miracles that happen as parents and celebrate our children's wins!
God is a god of second chances, so when we feel like we've made a mistake in parenting, it's important to remember that he always gives us more chances.
Life is long, and there is so much time to recover and repair relationships in this life.
An apology for your child can go a long way.



Small and simple invitation: Pray very specifically for an act of love that you can do on a regular basis with your families. Search for what the mighty change of heart that we find in the scriptures might be for this love.
