Summary

We are often quick to acknowledge God as the source of good in our lives, but we can sometimes forget the power and influence of the adversary. In this episode, Relief Society general advisory council member Lori Draper highlights some of the tactics Satan employs to distract, discourage, and isolate women from God and one another. Drawing on her professional experience as a social worker and sharing personal experiences raising a family in New York City, Lori reminds women of the goodness of our Heavenly Parents and the power that comes from trusting in God.
