Hard? Yep. Worth it? A million times over.

If we don’t speak up for truth, it will get buried beneath half-truths or almost-truths.

And then, where will we end up?

In light of the things I have been sharing about the role of women in God’s plan, I have been thinking about the women who, for whatever reason, do not have children.

Sheri Dew, who has never been married and has no children, has wrestled with these issues.

She has also spoken extensively about women and their divine roles.

Her words in this reel reflect her deep pondering, studying, and prayer about this issue. I hope you find them as profound as I do.

As women, we must understand the truth of who we are if we are to accomplish the great work the Lord has for us.

But, to do that, we must wade through a sea of lies that all originate with the father of lies.

Listen to this new episode with the links in my bio.

If God’s entire purpose is the “bring to pass

If God’s entire purpose is the “bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39), I can’t believe for one second that He is winging any part of His plan.

So, I can trust that He knows what He is doing.

I can have faith that the commandments He gives are for our good.

And I can believe He chooses to remain silent on some things for a wise purpose that my finite mind cannot yet grasp.

Faith does not know everything. But it does turn us toward the One who does.

Teri Sheppard (my very own mother in law) believe

Unpopular opinion: I feel empowered as a woman in

Unpopular opinion: I feel empowered as a woman in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, not oppressed.

I know others have had hard experiences in this arena, and I do not mean to minimize that.

Unrighteousness dominion is never okay, and it breaks my heart to know that it happens.

But that has not been my experience, so it also makes me sad that some people believe the Church as a whole is oppressive to women.

I have served in several leadership capacities and have felt respected, valued, and trusted by priesthood leaders, and NEVER less than.

As a woman, I have as much access to Priesthood power as do men.

And, when I am set apart to serve in any calling, I receive priesthood authority to serve in that capacity.

I don’t hold priesthood keys, but that doesn’t make me feel oppressed.

I believe men and women are equal but different, which means I don’t feel marginalized OR better than men.

Our roles are complimentary, making up two parts of a beautiful whole.

We need each other.

I believe my role as a woman within the Church is vital.

And men are not problems simply because they are men.

What would Jesus do if He were here today?

Because the scriptures teach that God is unchangeable, I believe He would do the same kinds of things He did while He was on the earth 2000 years ago.

Why do I speak boldly in defense of truth, knowing it could offend some people?

Because Satan is real and he never sleeps.

His influence (especially on social media) is loud and brash and anything but subtle.

We cannot combat the adversary’s attacks by walking on eggshells or sweeping unpopular truths under the rug.

If we stay silent while Satan twists truth and leads people away from the safety of their covenants, what will become of us and our children?

I am bold, not because I seek to offend

But because I feel boldness is required on the battlefield of faith.
