Tia lays out an actual practice for connecting with ancestors: intercessory prayer, paying attention to names and dreams, and treating family history as a two way relationship instead of a checklist.What you'll learn:Why President Nelson called this "an unprecedented time" and what that word actually meansThe difference between fishing (ordinances ready) and hunting (intercessory prayer) in family history workHow Tia survived a 20 percent chance of survival during septic shock, and what she heard in that hospital roomWhy healing in the temple isn't just spiritual.
