Hey parents!
•Are you struggling to talk to your kids about gospel topics, especially in terms they’ll ACTUALLY understand and relate to?
•Are you searching for a way to get your family excited to study ”Come Follow Me” each week?
•Imagine hearing your teen say: ”Mom, don’t forget about Family Home Evening tonight...” (Whaaa?!)
Don’t think it’s possible??
Well, welcome to FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT FOR LATTER-DAY SAINTS where we tie in each week’s ”Come Follow Me” discussion with our favorite family movies. 🎥
Hey there, I’m Valerie Beus. I’m a wife, mom, follower of Christ, and lover of both gospel discussions and movie trivia. Hence, this podcast was born!
If you’re ready for lessons that you can share with your family that will get them excited to study ”Come Follow Me” each week and open the door to more casual and natural gospel conversations, then you’re in the right place!
Let’s discuss how movies like Toy Story, Matilda, and The Lion King DO contain good and spiritual lessons that all of our family members can learn from, if only we train our minds to look for them.
(AND relate them to that week’s ”Come Follow Me” lesson?! It’s really a win-win! 🙌)
Grab that popcorn and those red vines, the show is about to start! Let’s go! 🍿
**OH and don’t forget to join our FREE weekly email, where you’ll receive an outline for your own Family Movie Night with ”Come Follow Me” discussion questions, quotes, simple summaries, and even a THEMED treat idea🍦!**

89 - SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT + "We were on a BREAK..." (Again)
Yes, I know I'm referencing Ross and Rachel's break up from the show Friends again but that's because Family Movie Night for Latter-day Saints will be taking a break too.
But I promise it's for good 👶 (and not-so-good 🤮) reasons!
