Guardians of the Family: Confidence

We are happy to have our first guest join us for our 11th podcast on the topic of confidence.  Our guest Natalie Spaulding has an Instagram account where she discusses the importance of self confidence, and she is a great addition to our discussion today.  Confidence is such an important topic to discuss because so much of who we are and what we do hinges on our own self confidence, and it is an important topic to discuss as we focus this year on becoming.   In this podcast we talk about what confidence is, were it comes from,  and how we can increase our confidence.  We also talk about the counterfeits of confidence and how we can teach our children to be confident.

Guardians of the Family: Using Classics to Help Us Become

We are so excited for the new year and with the new year we are beginning a new focus.  In 2017 we focused on our roles as women and how we fulfill those roles.  This year we are going to focusing on “Becoming”, becoming who God wants us to become and becoming the women we want to become.  In our first podcast on becoming we focus our discussion on using classics to help us become who we want to be.  We use the book Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter as a reference to our discussion.  In our discussion we talk about how to find and recognize true principles and how to use classics to find answers to questions in our own lives.  We also include a list of classics to easily learn from.

Guardians of the Family: Eve

Thank you for joining us on our discussion of Eve.  In this podcast we discuss how the family is central to God’s plan for us, and how Eve’s decision to partake of the fruit allowed for this plan to progress.   We talk about how understanding Eve’s choice effects how we view women in general and how we view ourselves. We also discuss how understanding the Hebrew meanings of words gives us a greater understanding of the scriptural account of Adam and Eve, and how that changes what we have commonly thought about their story.   We talk about how we are each like Eve and are faced with similar decisions.

Our discussion today comes mainly from these articles and books:

Genesis in the Bible

Women of the Old Testament by Camille Fronk Olson

The Gift of Giving Life:  Rediscovering the Divine Nature of Pregnancy and Birth 

Teaching The Doctrine of the Family by Julie B. Beck

The Great Plan of Happiness by Dallin H. Oaks
