Intro

This chapter features an unboxing of a durable gold stainless steel CTR ring intended for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It transitions to an interview focusing on a family's challenges in communication as they cope with a loved one's departure from the church, exploring strategies to maintain relationships amidst differing beliefs.

Today we have a package from Ringmasters. Since 1987, Ringmasters Jewelry and Gift has been the world leader in jewelry and gift products for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I had the chance to open one of their packages with my kids. If you subscribe to our Leading Saints YouTube channel, you probably saw the unboxing short from the package they sent. One of the items was their dainty gold stainless steel ring. This isn't your typical pinch-to adjustable CTR ring. It's gold with a slim band and three small circles, each with one of the CTR letters. As a bonus, it's made of stainless steel so it won't tarnish or turn your finger green, so you can wear it every day. It's a thoughtful gift for a child, grandchild, or someone celebrating a special occasion. Ringmasters consistently delivers quality pieces that reflect your values and bring a deeper meaning to everyday items. If this sounds like the right gift or even something for yourself, you can get 15% off this ring or any product at Ringmasters with the code LEADING at checkout. Have you ever had a loved one leave the church and your relationship becomes awkward? This is so common and so sad. I got the chance to interview the Packard family who have been down this road. Cindy and Blair Packard are Orthodox believing parents and Josh, their son, and his wife have left the church. We came together to discuss their journey and it was amazing what they taught. They talked about the communications they regretted and how other siblings responded in positive and negative ways. They learned how to pick up the pieces again, express love, carry on, and build a beautiful relationship. This has become a favorite in the Questioning Saints virtual library. You can actually gain access to this interview at leadingsaints.org/14.
