We often focus so much on our actions that we forget to examine our motives. In this episode, I discuss how motives can be more important than our actions. We know that the Savior always acted out of love. What if we could follow his example and let love be our motive all the time? If we could let love be our constant motive, we would strengthen all of our attachment relationships,

One of the main premises of the book, Filled with His Love, is that the closer we come to God, the closer we will come to His children. Our love for God fuels our love for others.

Attachment relationships need to be nurtured continually, and one of the best ways to do that is to listen to others and discern what they need to feel more capable and more loved. In this episode, I discuss some of the more subtle ways we can do that--how we can build up the soul of others.
I once gave a devotional address at BYU-Idaho on this topic. If you are interested, here's the link to the video:

Our attachment to God is not something we nurture only on Sundays or when we experience difficult trials in our life; it is a relationship that we need to foster every day. In this episode, two of our grandchildren, Molly Baxter and Logan Moore, help us by singing the beloved hymn, "I Need Thee Every Hour." Our hope is that as you listen, you will feel closer to the Lord.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever wondered what your attachment style is? Or have you wondered what the attachment style is for someone you know? In this episode, I discuss the key indicators of each of the four attachment styles and ask you to reflect on your own style or that of a friend, or family member. Most importantly, what kind of attachment do you have to God? This episode will give you insights into such questions.
If you would like, I invite you to send me an email regarding how your attachment style or that of someone you care about has affected their relationship with God or with others. I am particularly interested in accounts of how you are someone you know has strengthened an attachment--how you have given up an unhealthy way of relating to someone and replaced it with a more secure, enduring relationship.

We can't always be physically close to those we love, so in this episode, we talk about ways to stay close spiritually to them. And, of course, we always need to stay spiritually close to God. Maintaining close attachment to God and to others is essential even when we cannot be in their presence.

I just saw a study that shows how friends affect our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Friends are an essential ingredient in our happiness.

I'm convinced that the quality of interactions determines to a large extent the depth of our attachment relationships. In this episode, I share conversations I've had that have had lasting influence on my life. I hope this episode gives you a chance to reflect on the quality of your own conversations and how those conversations can lead to deeper, more fulfilling attachment relationships.
