S3 E74 The Family's Hope in Christ, a Roundtable Discussion (Moroni 1-6)

[@gordonandtamarakirkham543]

This discussion did my heart good. Thanks to all three of you for your uplifting, encouraging words.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

We all need it!

[@amyhawkins6791]

Very uplifting discussion! Many gems as takeaways--"Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. I know that simple truth to be true." And “The moment you turn around, here He is.”

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I found myself so uplifted during this one!

[@tbhughesth]

I can’t begin to thank you enough for all the things that all of you said about learning to love and the challenges in life are everything I needed to hear as our family’s been going through difficult challenge with a family member and the effects of bipolar disorder. thank you so much. I needed this and it has helped me so much. Bless all of you❤

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am so glad it could be helpful for you. Those are tough times, and I know that you just keep needing some beacons of hope during such times. Bless you and your children!

[@norajackman350]

Great words of hope. Thank you for your goodness. Sharing this good word with my sisters.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am so glad to hear all of this!

[@cheryledvalson8109]

So many reminders in this discussion....Jesus saves, not me, keep trusting, keep hoping, stay true and continue in faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ IS mighty to save! Thank you!

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

This is a blessing for me too! We need this hope, and it tastes so good!

[@mindaerror2543]

Well done, thank you! I’m so grateful that I know Jesus Christ is with me in all of life’s challenges! He & Heavenly Father have individual plans for me & all of my loved ones (wandering or not). And thankfully those plans include however long & hard the road is… It’s so reassuring to me that Jesus is MY Savior & it is not my obligation to save anyone - that is HIS work & HIS glory! All I can do is to continue to ask God to help me to love others (doing all the good that He enables me to do) & stay at the Tree of Life, feasting on its joyous fruit! 😋😇‼️

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

It is so important to keep this in mind all the time, but so hard. Bless you!

[@daffodil71]

These are things I know, but forget, or become discouraged by my pitiful efforts and don’t intentionally remember. THANK YOU ALL

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am the same way, and am glad for the reminders! Bless you!

Great discussion! When we follow the counsel of the Lord through His anointed leaders, we can feel peace even while our children are wandering off the path. Joy amidst sorrow, like you said. We have a son who is very much not partaking of the gospel. It's so hard to watch, but I have "seen" him in the future, grasping onto the Lord. I love that Jenet said when our children don't want to hear the Word, we can BE what the Lord would be for them. And Byron said for us to do that, we have to nourish the word within ourselves. LOVE THIS

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I believe with this approach we can have so much more peace and hope!

[@phyllisdutson6221]

This was such a great discussion. I'm especially touched by the teachings thatChrist is waiting for us to return to him or just turn and he will help us return. The idea that he is waiting with open arms. This is so.ething I wish I had heard years ago. I'm so glad for the emphasis of a loving God who wants us to return and is helping us.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

It is the most comforting thing, isn't it!?!

[@debbiebenson3756]

Thank you so much! I needed to hear every minute of this and I am sharing. It helped me find some peace.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am so very, very glad!

[@ildenete3235]

Pude ver vocês e lembrar dele e aos pés da cruz seus amigos esperançosos aguardando o momento com dor e alegria por serem os amigos de Jesus Cristo. Obrigado por seus testemunhos.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Que depoimento lindo. Obrigado!

[@evalinavallo5009]

What a great discussion!

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am glad it was helpful for you!

[@gmar2800]

Such a beautiful message

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am so glad it was helpful for you!

[@barbaradiamond6193]

Thank you for your hard work and scholarship. Out on sick leave, but I contributed my "mite".❤

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Thank you so much! We are glad if we are of help in any way, and we are grateful for your help!

[@mountaintop7305]

Thank you so much for your time and effort to do these. They help me to continue to have faith and find hope

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I'm so glad!

[@cindlou7335]

So good, thank you.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@JosephChild1]

Agency is a hard principle to respect when love is involved. But it's also Christ-like love that allows us to allow those we love, to make unrighteous decisions or decisions that we know will cause them pain. And then again, it's that same love that allows those that we love, to come back into the light. Our Father always leaves the latch unlocked in hopes that we will come home. What a great example for us to do the same.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Agreed! So well said!

[@ShikaAshley]

Thank you so much for this discussion. My husband and I married late and cannot have biological children. We are in the process of adopting children out of foster care. We don't know who the kids will be or what issues/challenges they will carry. The message of Christ alone will save, and our job is just to show them the path to Him, is my takeaway.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

What an adventure you are on! As I think of your situation that helps me see how much that is the takeaway for all of us. Thank you!

[@phyllisaycock1880]

Such a great discussion!❤

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

If it blessed you, I am so happy.

Sound quality for Jenet was very poor. I've heard her on other podcasts and really enjoyed her but her voice kept trailing off here. Feel like I missed so much. Not sure if she was turning away from her mic or talking so inaudible. Really enjoy all your podcasts. Thank you.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am so sorry that she was often hard to hear, because she is so good. We tested her mic many times, and for some reason with her voice if she turns away from it just a bit, looking from one person to the other, it would not pick her up as well as it would if either Byran or I looked from side to side. We will try to make it easier in the future.
