Are you worried about a loved one who's struggling with their faith? Or maybe you feel like church attendance is a chore at this point?
In this episode, we're diving into the story of Alma the Elder to learn why true conversion can only happen through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
What you'll discover in this episode:
- Why forcing or shaming others into faith never works and what your actual role is when loved ones stray from the gospel
- The difference between surface-level church participation and true Christ-centered conversion. Sometimes we're focusing our efforts on the wrong thing.
- How to find peace when someone you love seems far from faith.
Whether you're a parent watching children drift away, a spouse concerned about your partner's testimony, or someone struggling to "just show up" to church yourself, Alma's story offers hope and practical guidance. You'll learn how true disciples focus on testifying of Christ rather than trying to control outcomes, and discover why your own conversion to the Savior (not to programs or people) is the foundation for everything else.
