This month we tackle the topic of BAPTISM.
In this recording we cover:
- Our own memories from our baptisms
-How do you deal with a client or couple that is struggling with the idea as of choosing to get baptized v the social pressure to get baptized. How did you deal with this in your own families?
-Many post mormon parents I talk to like the idea of taking this day to celebrate this child and let it be a day to focus on the kid and in this culture that is done though the vehicle of baptism. And they struggle with the idea of supporting an organization like the church that has caused so much shame and hurt or teaching their kids to support this organization. How to deal with this?
-How to deal with the fact that their co-parent does not agree with the premise behind baptism but for them this is crucial to salvation and getting the gift of the holy ghost and other things like priesthood and temple ordinances?
-Sometimes the couple isn’t struggling with the decision so much as they are trying to appease extended family and ward family. How to make this very personal decision on a public stage?
-How do you deal with great to be 8 and all the hype around it? How to talk to your kid about baptism if you are not a believer and your spouse is? How to talk to your kid if you are a believer and your spouse is not?
