Improve your Family Connections & Grow in Your Faith! **TOP 2% PODCAST** Hey parents! •Are you struggling to talk to your kids about gospel topics, especially in terms they’ll ACTUALLY understand and relate to? •Imagine hearing your teen say: ”Mom, don’t forget about Family Home Evening tonight...” (Whaaa?!) Don’t think it’s possible?? Well, welcome to FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT FOR LATTER-DAY SAINTS where we tie in gospel lessons with our favorite family movies and shows. 🎥 Hey there, I’m Valerie Beus. I’m a wife, mom, follower of Christ, and lover of both gospel discussions and movie trivia. Hence, this podcast was born! If you’re ready for lessons that you can share with your family that will get them excited and open the door to more casual and natural gospel conversations, then you’re in the right place! Let’s discuss how movies like Toy Story, Matilda, and The Lion King DO contain good and spiritual lessons that all of our family members can learn from, if only we train our minds to look for them. Grab that popcorn and those red vines, the show is about to start! Let’s go! 🍿
