Bishops- Shepherds over the Lord's Flock is the title of a conference talk by Elder Quentin L. Cook in which he said, "I testify today that supporting the rising generation in a time of unusual challenges and temptations is an essential responsibility given to parents and bishoprics by Heavenly Father."

Elder Cook goes on to share the following counsel with youth: "…you are at the threshold of the most important decisions you will make in your lives. Please counsel with both your parents and your bishop about important choices that are ahead of you. Allow the bishop to be your friend and counselor…We all need to repent daily, as President Nelson has taught. Please talk to your bishop about any matter in which a common judge can assist you in getting your life in order with the Lord in preparation for the "great work" He has for you in this final dispensation."

In this episode we talk a lot about the calling of a bishop as we visit with our guest, Rich Doxey. Rich served as the bishop of our ward until recently. We love Bishop Doxey and have a great love and appreciation for all bishops and the good that they do to serve Heavenly Father's children.

Rich Doxey centers his life on his family and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He seeks daily connection with Jesus Christ through study and worship. He has a passion for Church service, running, and woodworking. These bring him joy as he strives to improve a little each day. Rich cherishes time with his family, which includes his wife Heidi and their five children. He enjoys practicing law and loves to help others succeed and find happiness.
