Back to EpisodesA 30-Year Seminary Teacher Reveals Why Covenants Are Your Greatest Parenting Tool with Keith Harr
Description
In this powerful episode, host Will Humphreys sits down with Keith Harr, a 30-year veteran of Seminary and Institute, husband of 45 years, father of 9, and grandfather of 38 for a conversation that will change how you think about covenant living, parenting, and the infinite power available to you through your sacred promises with God.
Keith and Will met on a service trip to Kenya, and from the moment they started talking, it was clear Keith carries hard-won, deeply practical wisdom about how the gospel actually works in real family life.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- Why covenants aren't just promises, they are conduits of power, and how to access that power daily
- The 5 levels of temple covenants and how they connect to the Abrahamic Covenant (posterity, land, and the priesthood/gospel)
- How the world's greatest crises: pornography, broken families, loss of identity are direct attacks on those same Abrahamic covenants
- The offense vs. defense framework for raising covenant-keeping children in the latter days
- How to build individual, one-on-one, and family spiritual rhythms that don't feel forced
- Why your child bringing their heart to you is like an offering on an altar, and how to receive it with tenderness
