09 · Mateus 16:18–19
You Are Blessed by Priesthood Power
A power that exists to serve, never to dominate.
The promise
The priesthood is God's power working through ordinary people to bless other people.
Your children learn what healthy authority looks like from how you exercise yours at home.
How to support
Lead with love and explanation, not just rules. When you apologise for overreacting, you teach that authority and humility belong together.
To start the conversation
- 1“What do you think makes someone a good leader?”
- 2“Have you ever received a blessing? How did it feel?”
- 3“How would you like to see me use my 'authority' as a parent?”
Today's pressures
Models of power based on fame and dominance, and distrust of all authority.
