Join hosts Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum on this New Testament episode of Talk of Him as we explore these important themes, topics, and questions from John 7-10:

Everyone wants to know their Heavenly Parents
Jesus’s life manifested the character and nature of our Heavenly Parents
How merciful and kind are our Heavenly Parents?
Pad the fall with love
Talk of Christ, preach of Christ so our children what source they can turn to when they mess up

Invitation:

How does it make you feel when someone treats you with love and kindness in moments when you are not your best self? Look for opportunities this week to be like Jesus by being loving and kind toward someone who is making poor, self-destructive choices.

“As President of the Church, I affirm the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on this issue. Let me be perfectly clear: any kind of abuse of women, children, or anyone is an abomination to the Lord. He grieves and I grieve whenever anyone is harmed. He mourns and we all mourn for each person who has fallen victim to abuse of any kind.” (2022–O:29, Russell M. Nelson, What Is True?)

“The Savior offers the gift of healing to you. With courage, patience, and faithful focus on Him, before too long you can come to fully accept this gift. You can let go of your pain and leave it at His feet. 
Your gentle Savior declared, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that [you] might have life, and that [you] might have it more abundantly.” You are a survivor, you can heal, and you can trust that with the power and grace of Jesus Christ, you will overcome and conquer. Jesus specializes in the seemingly impossible. He came here to make the impossible possible, the irredeemable redeemable, to heal the unhealable, to right the unrightable, to promise the unpromisable. And He’s really good at it. In fact, He’s perfect at it.” (2022–A:37, Patrick Kearon, He Is Risen with Healing in His Wings: We Can Be More Than Conquerors)
