Episode 111: Sacrifice and Consecration: Focusing on Temple Work

Melissa’s friend Carrie, joins she and Leann to talk about temple work, potential changes for the future, and how we can adapt our temple worship to be more service-oriented. Ponder Questions: How can I consecrate my time to Him? Am I focusing on the people I am doing temple work for? What is my intention when I go to the temple? What can I sacrifice to do temple work? What is my role? Do I invite others to go to the temple with me? Am I keeping a prayer journal? Am I finding the names of my kindred dead? Am I praying and preparing to go to the temple? Am I ready to receive more? Invitation: Ask yourself what you can change in your temple work to make it more meaningful for you.
