Musical Dance Theatre, BYU; creator & performer, Children Will Listen: Reflections on Mothering

Children Will Listen: Reflections On Mothering

Enjoy a unique “cabaret-style” performance featuring music and musings with Macy Robison celebrating the women and mothers in our lives—daughters, stepdaughters, sisters, friends, teachers, wives, stepmothers, daughters-in-law and mothers. We’ll bring Macy. You bring the tissues.

 

Brad Wilcox

Ph.D., University of Wyoming; associate professor, BYU; former president, Chile Santiago East Mission; author, The Continuous Atonement

The Miracle of Redemption

We often think "Savior" and "Redeemer" are synonymous, but they actually describe two separate aspects of Christ's mission. We know what Jesus saved us from, but do we think about what He saved us for? The miracle of the Atonement is not just that we can be cleansed, but that we can be changed.

Laurel Christensen

Director, Time Out for Women programs & events; talks on cd include You Are What You Believe, God Knows You're Amazing and Who's That Girl .

The Faith Experiment
What do you get when you take a “worst case scenario” girl and invite her to try something called “The Optimist Experiment”? You get a woman who is passionate about sharing how understanding the power of faith in your life can help you better live God’s “best case scenario” plan for you.

SATURDAYPROGRAM

Hilary Weeks

Top-selling female LDS artist; singer; songwriter; author; albums include If I Only Had Today

Musical Presentation

You said you can't imagine TOFW without her; happily, you don't have to. Hilary is not just a great songwriter and incredible performer; she is first and foremost a woman-a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. Her humor and her testimony make every event perfect (don't miss her new parody!)

Linda J.Eyre and Shawni Eyre Pothier

Linda, mother of nine, and Shawni, mother of five; co-authors, A Mother's Book of Secrets

Finding Holiness Amidst the Havoc

Sometimes motherhood can seem as far away from "holy" as you can get when you're dealing with attitude from your teenager or scrubbing ball-point pen off the couch. Though holiness in motherhood does not come easy, there are a few simple tools that can make it a part of your everyday moments.

Mary Ellen Edmunds

Former director of training, MTC; author of many books, including Peculiar—in a Good Way

Identity Theft

We all know about the technological attempts to steal our identities, but how aware are we of the adversary's attempts to HIDE our identities? There is an all-out war trying to keep us from knowing who we really are. Know who you are and you will protect yourself from the ultimate identity thief!

Matthew Baldwin

Corporate executive, teacher, husband, father, and author of, Snow Rising

The Problem with Conformity

There are some things that are important for us to conform to (like living the Ten Commandments and keeping our covenants). But the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a "cookie cutter" gospel. As individuals, with all our diversity, personality, and complexity, we each have a place at the table.

Kris Belcher

B.S., therapeutic recreation, Brigham Young University; author, Hard Times and Holy Places

Smoothing Out the Rough Spots
Our life's tests and difficulties can refine us; the rough spots in our hearts can be made smooth. We can become polished as we turn to the Savior. Kris's story shows how God used the challenge of going blind to help her see who she was meant to become. And you will see who YOU are meant to become too.

D. Kelly Ogden

Ph.D. in Middle East Studies; professor of ancient scripture, BYU; former president, Chile Santiago East Mission; co-author, Happy Like Jesus

More Like Jesus

Jesus portrayed so many great attributes throughout His life. We can become more like Him by just starting to focus on one. Following the Savior isn’t about perfection all at once today, it’s about living like Him a little more every day. Jesus taught us how to live, and He also taught us how to become more.
