Episode notes

This chapter discusses the importance of finding a balance between family and work responsibilities. They mention quotes from Elder Holland and Elder Bednar about prioritizing time with spouse and children, and also balancing church callings and other commitments. They use the metaphor of spinning plates to illustrate the idea of knowing which plates need the most attention.

Dr. Barbara Morgan Gardner delves deeper into Paul’s letters. She discovers how the experiences of Paul, Timothy, and others continue to shape our understanding of the role of Bishops in leading others along the Covenant Path of Jesus Christ, including servant leadership.
