Stand with Lynnette

Do you worry about how to prepare your kids for their role in the Second Coming? If so, you're not alone. I think we all feel the weight of that responsibility.

But what if preparing our kids for the Second Coming beautifully overlaps with preparing them to succeed in life?

What if the process includes helping them develop many vital skills in addition to faith?

What if that preparation takes place line upon line and does not need to be overwhelming?

What if creating and abiding by a parenting vision statement makes raising a well-prepared child seamless?

Let's talk about it!

In the weeks since General Conference and President Nelson's clear invitation to prepare for the Second Coming of the Lord, I, like many of you, have been thinking about what it means to prepare for that "great and terrible" day Joel 2:11).

In my study on this topic, the phrase "abide the day" has repeatedly surfaced, inviting me to dig deeper. What does that mean in relation to the Savior's return?

What I have discovered combines Old Testament prophecy with the Doctrine and Covenants, Joseph Smith's history, and modern revelation, all leading to one place: the temple.

The symbolism I have found is blowing my mind, and I cannot wait to unpack it for you. Together, let's learn to "abide the day" of His coming.

Have you ever thought about the inseparable connection between physical and spiritual health?

In the Word of Wisdom, the Lord promises "health in the navel and marrow to the bones" to those who follow its principles. Could that symbolize something much higher and holier than physical health alone?

Let's talk about it.

Have you ever felt God's hand guiding you to do something you do not want to do? If so, how did you respond to the dissonance?

This has been the overwhelming theme of my life. While I have learned MANY things as I have repeatedly submitted my will to the Lord's will, it took on a whole new meaning at General Conference last weekend. For the first time, I saw what giving my whole soul to God meant, which was not what I had previously thought.

Tune in to hear the whole story and what it means for YOU.

You can tell from the name of this podcast alone that I LOVE the word "STAND."

While I often talk about standing, lately, I have been reflecting on what it means to stand with and for Jesus and why it matters.

Let's talk about it!

(Hint: Standing is a necessary pre-requisite to participating in THE long-foretold Gathering of Israel)

Kate struggled with intense anxiety and periods of panic attacks throughout middle school and high school. Because of that and other reasons, she had no intention of serving a mission. But, after several spiritual experiences, she decided it was right for her.

A few weeks after submitting her papers, she learned that, because of her history of panic attacks, her mission call had been delayed for several months. During that time, she needed to meet specific requirements before resubmitting her papers.

In this vulnerable conversation, Kate, who begins her mission in a few days, talks about her experience, what it taught her, and why she is now grateful for the unexpected delay that initially rocked her world.

Did you know that I have been writing a book about the mothers of the Stripling Warriors for the past year and a half? The writing and editing are (mostly) done, and I am currently trying to figure out publishing.

But, while the story of the Stripling Warriors is still fresh on our minds from CFM, I could not pass up an opportunity to teach you some of the things I have learned about their incredible mothers. They have taught me SO much about raising latter-day spiritual warriors in a world that is quickly moving away from God.

I hope their story will inspire you as much as it has me. Listen in for all the details.

We are living and raising children in a time of spiritual warfare, and Captain Moroni recently taught me how to navigate spiritual danger safely:

Never stop preparing.

What might that look like today? And how can we adopt Captain Moroni's top priority to "[prepare the MINDS of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God?"

Let's talk about it!

I have been creating online content for more than ten years and have had a front-row seat to watch the growing impact of social media on society, culture, and even faith.

For those who have eyes to see, it is clear that Satan is using social media to his benefit. But so is God.

Using Alma 43-48 as a backdrop, let's explore why so many people (including myself) feel increasingly called to stand up and share faith on social media, even though darkness has a hold there.

I will explain why I feel called to be bolder in my testimony of Christ, why I feel the need to RUN, and what that means for the future of this podcast.

Parenting young adults is a whole new ballgame, complete with its own set of challenges that nobody really talks about.

In this episode, I pull back the parenting curtain and explore three vital lessons I have learned since launching my first child into the world six years ago.

Whether you have adult children or WILL at some point, I think you will find this episode helpful.
