How do you follow the Savior's example if your child has left the Church or is struggling with their faith? What's the balance between giving your child room to use his or her agency while showing your love for them?

Melinda Shaha

Melinda grew up in Utah and met her Army officer husband in high school. After three kids, three years of deployments, and eleven moves since commissioning into the Army, they still jam to 90's ballads in the car, are constantly on the lookout for the world's best pizza (the winner so far is Nonna's in Peekskill, NY), and are really glad when they get to be together as a family. She loves office supplies, has never met a road trip she didn't like, is an expert power napper, and organizes her pantry when she's stressed out. Her faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been an anchor through out her life and she is so very grateful for her testimony and the peace it brings to her life.
