Doctrinal and Practical
When discussing anything of a religious nature, it is important to stay close to the scriptures and the doctrine. This has been our main focus throughout our book and past conferences. This year, with the doctrinal foundation, we’re going to go deeper on practical ways that you can better live the Word of Wisdom. We will be addressing topics such as:
- Does God care about our physical health?
- What do the scriptures say about health?
- What a healthy diet looks like
- How to eat healthy on a budget
- How to help your kids eat healthy
- Important herbs for healing
- How to find the best herbs
- How to make your own herbal medicine
- Much more…
This year the conference will be FREE with the option to give a donation.
