What assumptions do you make when it comes to "The Family: A Proclamation to the World"? Do you assume it says everything there is to know about family? Or that it’s an all-or-nothing list?

Ganel-Lyn and Scott dissect parts of the Proclamation in today’s episode. They talk about stewardships, having family discussions, and sharing the set of responsibilities that come with being a parent. It’s a hopeful, enlightening discussion you won’t want to miss!

Invitation: Assess where your family is. Take time to discuss what you’re doing well and where you may need to improve.

Invitation: 

As President Dieter F. Uchtdorf taught, “The weakest among us, through God’s grace, can become spiritually strong, because God ‘is no respecter of persons’” (“On Being Genuine,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2015, 80). Instead of focusing on all your weaknesses you are praying will be made strong, reflect on a weakness you have already seen become strengthened. How have grace and the Atonement of Jesus Christ enabled you to transform this weakness to a strength?

“Can any one of you imagine our Savior letting you and your burdens go unnoticed by Him? The Savior looked upon the Samaritan, the adulterer, the tax collector, the leper, the mentally ill, and the sinner with the same eyes. All were children of His Father. All were redeemable. “Can you imagine Him turning away from someone with doubts about their place in God’s kingdom or from anyone afflicted in any manner? I cannot. In the eyes of Christ, each soul is of infinite worth. No one is preordained to fail. Eternal life is possible for all” (Robert C. Gay, “Taking upon Ourselves the Name of Jesus Christ,” Ensign or Liahona, November 2018, 98).

“In truth, God does not show favoritism, the things the world values mean nothing to Him. He knows your heart, and He loves you regardless of your title, financial net worth, or number of Instagram followers.” (2020–A:104, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Come and Belong)

“What a wonderful blessing to live in a time of continual revelation from God! As we look forward to and embrace the ‘restitution of all things,’ which has and will come through the prophesied events of our time, we are being prepared for the Savior’s Second Coming” (Sister Jean B. Bingham, “Ministering as the Savior Does,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2018, 104).

Join hosts Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum on this New Testament episode of Talk of Him as we explore these important themes, topics, and questions from Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; and John 20–21:

What does the resurrection mean for each of us?

Recognizing Him

Invitation: 

What aspect of Jesus Christ’s Atonement are you most grateful for? Here are some examples:
Because of Him, we can learn from our mistakes without being condemned by them. Because of Him, we can receive the grace we need to eventually become like our Heavenly Parents. Because of Him, we will all live again with those we love. Take some time this week to ponder or journal about why Jesus Christ’s Atonement means so much to you.

Talk of Him Farewell Announcement

Ministering  -   Elder Gerrit W. Gong

Listen to or read this week's talk here: 
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2023/04/14gong?lang=eng 

“Higher and holier ministering comes when we pray for “the pure love of Christ” and follow the Spirit.”

“Our Savior is our perfect example. Because He is good, He can go about doing good. He blesses the one and the 99. He is ministering personified.”
