It’s easy to fall into the belief that living the Gospel is a series of boxes to check.  A sort of list of behaviors and requirements meant to measure progress.  But the scorecard approach soon gets old and exhausting. General Young Women’s President Emily Belle Freeman challenged that perspective in her recent General Conference talk. And she shares her own personal "why" when it comes to gospel living.
 
Joining in this conversation with Kathryn is contributor Kaylen Nelson. Kaylen teaches religion at BYU and she considers herself a bit of a bookworm and she's a major "Swiftie". She just celebrated her first Christmas with her 1-year-old son. In this episode, Kaylen articulates her personal "why" and encourages listeners to do the same.

This month's book club pick was The Law of Love in Action by former NFL and BYU quarterback Steve Young. As a community we've been reading this book together and discuss the different aspects of the law of love: loving as God loves, seeking another's healing, and expecting nothing in return.
 
Podcast producer Sarah Collins is joined by Magnify women Taylor Ricks Mele, Shima Baughman, and Hilary Craner as they discuss all things living with love.

Magnify Book Club: The Law of Love in Action by Steve Young

As we have been reading The Law of Love in Action for our bookclub this month, it’s brought to mind some of the great Magnify moments of the past 80 episodes. Next week, we’re having a Magnify book club episode where we’ll discuss all things Law of Love IN ACTION. But today, we thought it would be great to pull some clips from our past favorite episodes and how the women of Magnify have been living the law of love.

Favorite Magnify Moments of Living with Love

This year we felt the Spirit when a special message was given to us from newly set apart acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve, President Holland. He reminded us that, “God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection.”  
Sometimes we might forget this or feel distance from this promise, but in this episode, Kaylen Nelson shares a takeaway that she heard from President Holland: our prayers never go to the “heavenly answering machine” and are always picked up and answered.

Let’s chat about it!
