In today's episode, we take the everyday 'crumb'y moments that we as parents go through with young children and discuss different ways we can 'think Celestial' as President Nelson counseled in His most recent General Conference address.

Today is a special episode leading up to General Conference, focused ultimately on how prophets truly are a type and shadow of Jesus Christ. I am joined by Sara Phelps who runs the Instagram account @Iamsaraphelps, where she testifies boldly of living prophets and of Jesus Christ.

Using Sheri Dew's talk "Prophets Can See Around Corners" as our guide throughout the episode, Sara shares ways we can prioritize the words from General Conference and the words from prophets in our daily lives as mothers.

"Abide with us." A simple plea from the disciples on the Road to Emmaus that all of us mothers can learn from as we apply the principle of 'abide' to our daily lives.

Today's episode talks about ways we can recognize moments the Savior abides with us in motherhood, as well as ways that we can abide with our Savior and our children daily.

Today's Manna episode is with Elisabeth Child, creator and host of Sword of Truth Podcast, a resource for children to learn stories from Jesus Christ's life using scriptures and songs. 

Elisabeth shares her testimony of Jesus Christ, the importance of sharing stories from His life, and young children's ability to truly understand and apply His teachings.

Toward the end of this episode will be a special portion for children to listen to a story from Jesus Christ's life, as well as be given an invitation to do this week as a family. (starting at 42:30)

In today's Lily episode, we consider how the stroller can be a reminder to us of Jesus Christ and imagine ourselves in a specific story from His life. We remember ways that we can invite Him and His presence into our lives, specifically ways we can feel close to Him on our walks with our children. 

Consider doing one of the following invitations this week:

Read and watch the Bible video depicting these scriptures:  Luke 24:13–33

Read or listen to the talk: The Power of Scripture by Elder Scott 

Memorize a scripture and recite that to your child on your next walk

Madeline shares her beautiful testimony of Jesus Christ as well as special experiences she has had as a new mother. 

Madeline's spiritual wisdom, love for her Savior, and insights into new motherhood is inspiring and truly will lead those listening closer to Jesus Christ, as it did for me during this interview. 

In today's episode, we focus on ways that we can show our children and our Savior that we love them by the way in which we use our phones daily.

By remembering Christ centered principles as well as practical phone management tips, we as mothers can be more present for our children as well as present for promptings from the Holy Ghost to guide us in life and motherhood. 

In today's Lily episode, we consider how our phones can be a distraction from our children and Savior. Today's focus is on how the adversary uses phones and social media to distract us from our most important work, but how as we turn to the Savior He will help us take steps in becoming more present and focused on the things that matter most in life and motherhood.
