44. Leading Children with Relationship, Identity, and Grace: An Interview w/Kurt Francom of Leading Saints

<p>Join me in this very special episode for an interview with Kurt Francom, Executive Director of Leading Saints.</p><p><br></p><p>Leading Saints is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead. Kurt Francom leads the organization and hosts its podcast, which is one of the most listened-to podcasts in the Latter-day Saint community with over 21 million total show listens. Kurt is also the author of <em>Is God Disappointed in Me? Removing Shame from a Gospel of Grace</em>, a #1 bestselling book.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, Kurt shares some of his favorite leadership principles and how they apply to parenting. We discuss how parenting is a leadership role, and therefore any good leadership principle can guide parents in their relationships with their children.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode left me with three main takeaways: relationship comes first, identity is the antidote to shame, and grace empowers. I’m feeling inspired to parent in more godly, grace-filled ways, and I hope this episode leaves you feeling the same.</p><p><br></p><p>Resources Mentioned:</p><ul><li><a href="http://leadingsaints.org">leadingsaints.org</a></li><li><em>Is God Disappointed in Me?
