You know I really struggle with the concept of quitting my job and staying home with my child at least until school age at which time I intend to enroll my child in a private school. I always think of your advice from the podcast. My husband and I decided to pray over this for a couple of months and I'll make my decision in October. I know it's our society's norm for women to share the work load instead of staying home but I really would mind. There are some elements other than money that have me in the work force at this time. So to sum it up, I would appreciate prayer over this matter if you ever think of it. Thanks for all you and Sherri do! I appreciate you both

There are times when I'm thankful my parents bought me a dumb phone instead.

I do believe that bombarding young people to the cultures of now can be destructive.

These three issues, amongst many others, directly influence not only healthy childhood development, but also lead to healthy development into adulthood. Just yesterday, a 33 year old man went on a stabbing spree here in Southern California, not too far from where I am, which only reinforces the truth (the hard-to-swallow truth) that these mass shootings are not directly a gun issue (although I agree gun laws should change for better protection, and please don't comment about that, for that is not the conversation here), but a broken human issue. People today are so involved in their devices, their financial success, and progression of status that healthy development of their children are falling by the wayside. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's because of a lack of love, but I think a lot of people are ill-equipped to bring up another being besides themselves, let alone one with the complete dependence of a newborn child. It's causing people to grow up without the ability to deal with issues that are difficult; adults that can't handle adult issues of life, because life is hard. But God is good. Hopefully we can share that message and reach those that are losing themselves to the darkness and wickedness of this world.

Please, Brant, let's get this message out there to the masses. This world is broken and need a healer. Thank you for this message.

I'm going to preface this by stating that I never, ever condone missionary dating. Through a strange series of coincidences, I had my first date with my boyfriend while he was not a Christian. He had been searching for the Lord for some years, and when we met, he was already becoming thoroughly disillusioned with Mormonism. Praise the Lord, He saved my boyfriend a mere 5 days after we met!!!

It has been an amazing experience to witness the life of someone before and after receiving the Lord, and he led a largely wild life full of empty pleasures until about 4 years ago, before he started feeling the pull to move towards the Lord.

I bring all this up because before he met me, my boyfriend really thought that wives and mothers that stayed at home were lazy, spoiled, etc. Developing his relationship with the Lord and his relationship with me, he came to realize that there are women like me who want to stay at home not out of complacency or laziness, but out of deep devotion to the Lord's calling to love and care for the family by home schooling, nurturing a homestead (we both want to someday own acreage with some cattle, etc.), and not giving the outside world more time with our children than us—the parents.

I've had a couple friends who were molested or worse by other classmates as small children. For instance, one of my friends was ~4-years-old when a bigger 6-year-old girl molested him on school grounds during recess. She was probably violated, hence she learned the behavior, which is devastating. He couldn't have been molested if no one had the opportunity to do so.
