A couple of recent articles have Mormons thinking about best practices in teaching our children church history and doctrine, and in particular whether we should deliberately acquaint them with the most challenging issues in Mormon experience—issues like historical polygamy, for instance, that are largely absent from official church discourse. Like other observers, I would welcome a more open approach from the Church itself, and that may be coming. But in my experience there's a lot more to a successful inoculation than the institutional pedagogy children encounter at church. Everyday family life fosters or hinders a child's spiritual growth than any Sunday manual ever could.

For some deaf recipients of cochlear implants, it can take up to 10 years to learn to distinguish sounds and to speak. But for Emily Thomas, from Oklahoma, it was a miraculously short period of less than two years — years that coincided with her finding the gospel and deciding that God’s gift of words to her was a sacred trust. In this audio interview with Thomas, a professional counselor who has been deaf since birth, you’ll learn three things deaf church members wish hearing members understood about them, hear a remarkable story of the gospel of Jesus Christ bringing a family together after a decade and generally bask in the glow of someone full of the light of the Lord.

While serving as a stake president, I interviewed a 30-something couple and their two young boys for a first-time temple recommend. They were about to become an eternal family, but for their youngest son, the price for that privilege was everything. The youngest son was fidget-appropriate for a 5-year-old. As I interviewed his parents, Jimmy couldn’t take the motionless moments any longer. He leaped from his mother’s lap, smacking his head on the corner of my desk.

The average youth devotes nearly eight hours to media every day. (Why yes, that is more than a full-time job.) Forty-three percent of children ages 4 to 6 have a TV in their bedroom. Seventy percent of teens have their own video game console. And in 64 percent of American homes, the TV is on during mealtime. But whether our media T-shirt dons “I heart” or “I abhor,” the responsibility lies squarely with the “I.”
