Episode 024: Will My Child Be Ready for Missionary Service? Pt 2

Parenting Podcast (Archive)

23 Jul
Will my child be ready for missionary service?

In Episode 23, we started our discussion about preparing children to serve missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you haven’t already listened to that episode, you can do that right here. Today’s episode is a continuation of that conversation.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Why work ethic is, perhaps, the most important quality of a good missionary, and how to help your kids develop it
  • How to help children develop social skills (read: face to face interaction) when digital communication is their primary means of socializing
  • How to help kids learn to be humble, and how to stop bragging in its tracks
  • Why physical fitness is an often overlooked aspect of missionary preparation, and how to make it a priority
  • Why teaching our kids to be obedient (even when they don’t want to) is key, and how we can do that while they are young

Ready to dive in? Listen right here or on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, and Spotify.

When Jesus will return to earth in power and glory

On that great day, as Elder Holland taught, we will “see our Messenger of Salvation descend like “lightning … out of the east,” and we will exclaim, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ 

“With arms forever outstretched and love unfeigned, He will reply, ‘I am he.’”

I, for one, cannot wait!

Audio: “I Am He,” Jeffrey R. Holland, Oct. 2024

(P.S. I miss him!)

I LOVE food - cooking it, eating it, learning abou I LOVE food - cooking it, eating it, learning about the nutritional benefits

It is my love language

When I decided to go *mostly* plant-based a few years ago (check out the podcast this week to learn about that), I needed all the help I could get

Here are a few of my favorite resources that have helped me along my nutrition journey

Not all are entirely plant-based, but all are nutritionally sound

P.S. I am VERY picky about who I listen to in the world of nutrition because social media has perpetuated all sorts of confusion around what is actually nutritious. 

These are all sources I trust ☺️
I never expected a couple of lines in my patriarch I never expected a couple of lines in my patriarchal blessing to send me down a rabbit hole of nutrition research and plant-based cooking

But here we are

This week’s episode of Stand with Lynnette is a little different! 

We’re talking about food, faith, the Word of Wisdom, and why I’ve become a big believer in putting more plants on my plate

No vegetarian conversion attempts, I promise 😉
