Third, we can be aware of how we can help women more fully participate in the work God accomplishes through His priesthood power. Second, we can seek to understand why some women don’t fully realize their access to God’s priesthood power. How can we better understand the connection women have with priesthood power and help them “to step forward,” to “take rightful and needful place in home, in community, and in the kingdom of God-more than ever have before”? 1 First, we can humbly seek to understand truths associated with the priesthood, especially the most recent teachings of Church leaders. Many women, not knowing what blessings they have access to, are not taking full advantage of the spiritual feast available to them. What’s more, identity, authority, spirituality, and even God are topics of great confusion for many. We’re living in a day when equality, power, fairness, and tolerance are touted-often above other virtues. I’ve come to recognize as never before the importance of understanding the priesthood and its associated blessings for women.
