Episode notes
Who Counts As A Woman Of God
- Sheri Dew broadened 'woman of God' to include nonmembers who sincerely believe in God and Christ.
- She still values covenant-making women as a distinct, elevated subset within that larger group.
Cultivate Active, Intentional Faith
- Practice active, intentional faith when promised blessings are delayed and daily duties threaten focus.
- Keep trying and trust God to fulfill covenants either here or beyond mortality.
Refinement Is Cumulative
- Spiritual refinement happens cumulatively as we choose higher influences and practices over time.
- Temple attendance, scripture study, and discernment change desires and reduce appetite for coarse things.
