Summary

As a young adult, Susie Mullen lived in California and had a spectacular professional dancing career, but she felt unhappy and had deep questions about God. When an unexpected career opportunity took her to Provo, Utah to coach ballroom dance, Susie was introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ and nurtured in her faith by new friends and colleagues. Susie eventually joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and today she serves as a member of the General Relief Society Council. In this episode, she shares how as parents, spouses, neighbors, and brothers and sisters in the gospel, we can follow the example of Jesus Christ to nurture others wherever they are on the gospel path, loving them and inviting them closer to Jesus Christ. Susie encourages listeners to foster an inclusive, nurturing environment in their homes, at Church, and anywhere they have influence, helping others feel the love of the Savior through our own loving words and actions.
