If you want a formula to destroy your life, Sheri Dew has the recipe. Dew is a prominent member of the LDS church, a former member of the church’s General Relief Society Presidency and a favored speaker for women. In this hour long talk, Dew outlines the 4 major things that she believes Satan would have women do if they want to ruin their lives. The first thing Satan would do is to encourage women to pick on each other, judge each other and gossip about each other. Dew acknowledges this is closely related to women’s divine role to care for and nurture each other, but the adversary easily twists an innate virtue into the malicious backbiting and rumor-monging that besets women. The second thing Satan would do is to confuse women about their true identities as children of God and allow them to feel bewildered about their gender and engage in competition with men. The third wreckage would be to keep the truth about Jesus Christ’s atonement hidden from women and not allow them to realize the power He has to bless and heal their lives in the present. The fourth ruination would be to keep women from realizing the reality of personal revelation and its saving grace.

These are the traps that Dew outlines will keep women from exerting their powerful influence on the world. It’s an inspiring call for Christian women everywhere to live up to their potential and stop engaging in behaviors that will assuredly wreck their lives. And of course, to find out the four truths that will save your life you’ll want to listen in.
