Making a Gospel-Centered Family Starts With You

My father was not a member of the Church. My mother was a faithful member of the Church. My mom helped me learn how to pray. But I never had family prayer the way we usually think about that until I was a married man.

There will be many young men and young women all over the world who are listening, who say, “But I never saw how to do that.”

It begins with you. And, in some ways, that even can be an advantage.

Have a home where the Spirit of the Lord can dwell and, as you discuss gospel truth, it will bear witness to yourself, to your spouse, to your children.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is joyful. There are very hard challenges that we face, and there are hard things to do. But with the help of the Lord, as His covenant sons and daughters, we have access to a power that helps us to face and overcome all of those challenges and adversities.
