Al is a Stake President over the Washington D.C. Young Single Adult North Stake, working with 18–35 year olds for the past five years. Jolene has taught constitutional principles to mothers across America through Moms for America and the Glenn Kimber Kimber Academy. Together they've raised five children — and they've figured some things out.
In this conversation they cover:
- Why the Book of Mormon is "political scripture" — and what it tells us about the governance patterns destroying America right now
- How a 15-minute family devotional became a 45-minute morning tradition — and how those stories held their kids in their darkest moments
- "Their mothers knew" — why Jolene believes mothers are the most equipped teachers their children will ever have
- The dad as the temperature of the home, the mom as the energy — what it means for both parents to be on the same page
- The marriage and dating crisis among Latter-day Saints — and what Al is seeing on the ground in one of the most ambitious YSA stakes in the country
- Why Al and Jolene say plainly: "This happened on our watch."
