The Honest Truth about our Messy Families - A Conversation with Joseph Grenny
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2024
- This week, we’re going to share what we think was an “instant classic” from last week’s Restore Gathering; a deeply personal and thought-provoking message about family, faith, and the complexity of life from Joseph Grenny, author of Crucial Conversations and co-founder of many organizations, including The Other Side Academy,
Drawing from his own experience with his own “messy” family, Joseph speaks openly about moments of despair, including the heartache of watching loved ones, including his own children, struggle with addiction, estrangement, and other crises.
But at the heart of his message is a radical idea: that the phrase "All is well" can be true even in the face of chaos and imperfection. He challenges the traditional "brochure" image of family success, reminding us that not even the families in our sacred texts had it all together. Through powerful stories of redemption, both from his own family and the lives transformed at The Other Side Academy, Joseph encourages us to rethink what it means to succeed as families, and to embrace waiting as part of God’s divine work.
We think this conversation will resonate deeply with anyone who has felt the pain of seeing a loved one struggle, and we hope it offers both comfort and inspiration. We loved seeing many of you at Restore and wanted to give a little taste of it to those that weren’t able to attend. So with that, we’ll pass it over to Joseph Grenny.

This is one of the most powerful talks I’ve heard in a long time. Absolutely beautiful!
Joseph is an amazing human being! So grateful for him and the blessing he has been in my life!
Wow! That was so powerful. I was moved deeply. Thank you Joseph!
Wow. So much truth here. The middle is messy… and so is the end if not for Jesus Christ. Thank you for the insights about Jacob and Sherem, and about people in general. So thankful that God has a plan for each of us. Thank you for the work you are doing to help spread these truths.
Such an authentic message. Love it. My family is not the brochure either and that’s ok. I’m working in my waiting. And loving in the waiting. And trusting God all will be well one day. And it will be.
Bravo Joseph, c'est brillant! Magnifique façon d'appliquer les écritures à nos vies. 👏👏👏👏 Soeur Lechevrel 🥰
Incredible discussion-thank you for the hope!!
I believe we can always help others and maybe at the right moment someone will be there to save our lives. This happened to my son.
A stranger saved him from literally drowning.
Tremendous and inspiring. Thank you for this teaching.
This was so insightful and inspiring, as well as funny! Thank you. 🙏🏼 I will never view the scriptures you shared the same way. I appreciate the marvelous insights.
This talk was wonderful and very helpful as we deal with difficult things in our family. Thank you. ❤

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Interesting that he draws much of his talk from Jacob 5…
I never liked reading that long allegory in Jacob 5 until one dark night in 2012, I found myself crying the same cry, “What more could I have done?” for my son and my children. That’s when I didn’t hear the audible voice but I remembered the Lord saying the same thing in this verse. It was a lightbulb moment for me then. If the Lord being perfect who has literally given all, including his only begotten Son, could ask the same question, how could I not trust in His love? I can’t explain how the dagger in my heart in that moment could somehow miraculously release. I don’t fully understand how I suddenly felt relief from the tangible pain I had felt in my mom heart lifted from me in this moment. All I know is that this was the moment when I no longer doubted in a Savior who heals the broken hearted. Jacob 5 is now and always will be one of my favorite chapters since 2012, and I appreciate the reminder and perspective you shared here coming to many of the same amazing insights and more! Thank you 🙏 for sharing!
Such an amazing talk!
This is the truth!!❤
Thank you SO much ❤
Thank you!!!!! 🙌⭐️🙌⭐️🙌
No mud no lotus flower.
Thank you. This has helped me so much and I have shared your talks with so many people, except my own children, although I wanted to. What do your sons feel when you share their mugshots with everyone? I am very curious of your relationship with them now?
So good!!!
This needs to be a sacrament meeting talk!!!
@@misfyresalot I'm a recently called Bishop. It will be.
He only shared a portion of the quote from Joseph Smith “Our Heavenly Father is more liberal in his views, and boundless in his mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive, and, at the same time, is more terrible to the workers of iniquity, more awful in the executions of his punishments, and more ready to detect every false way than we are apt to suppose him to be;@
Obey Gods Commandments yourself and Forgive everyone 😊❤
I want to be part of this or believe in any of this but I cant force the belief. Like how do you know god set anything in motion now or years ago. And why did he set anything in motion for someone or not set anything in motion for anyone else. It apophenia. I can’t see past apophenia.
Why did that person hand me $3. Well I purchased an item and that was my change. Predictable. I found $300 cash in a parking lot last year. Why. Because I said a prayer that morning or paid tithing or skipped a meal or shared a feeling of Christ. Maybe it was my wife did those things. What if it wasn’t a wealthy person that could afford to lose $300 bit a loss that put a family in a pickle. Do increase the assigning meaning (apophenia) and say god must be punishing someone by letting their money fall to the ground.
Irrationally assigning meaning makes me want to scream. Calling out also makes me feel like an a**hole. However things that are not falsifiable or not provable- I know I’m not wrong and that cause huge cognitive dissonance and frustration for me. Makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I’ll one item regarding the Jackie Lola story and connection is a reason for another element of cognitive dissonance in me. We can see the value and empathy and connection in people that have been through similar to helping others get through similar. Unpopular opinion but that is where the atonement and Christ breaks for me. How can Christ empathize with the death of a mother or a child. Then we project that the atonement gives Christ the understanding of all our everything. Like a magic hand wave and Christ deeply understands your (fill in the blank)
That doesn’t work for me anymore
