4. Preaching Repentance: It's Not What You Think

When you hear the words “preach repentance,” what do you think of? Does it mean standing in the middle of the town square, telling everyone to shape up and stop sinning?

In this episode, I explore how preaching repentance can be as simple as helping your child clean up a mess. Forgiving your spouse immediately when they come home later than planned. Setting an example by learning from your own mistakes instead of hiding from them, beating yourself up for them, or blaming someone else for them.

By practicing grace, forgiveness, and hope on a micro level in our daily interactions, we are accepting the Savior’s invitation to preach repentance. Even if we never climb on a soapbox.
