I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Scripture Notes - https://scripturenotes.com/ Elder Bednar frames President Nelson's words, "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost" within the coming advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI boyfriends and girlfriends are already available for companionship, support, affirmation, and assistance. This will lead to "artificial infidelity" with AI boyfriends and girlfriends. AI will be both "perilous" and provide "opportunities." Everything depends on how we use it. Will we use AI to replace our own "work" and growth? Or will we use it in a supportive role?

Today we discuss David A. Bednar's October 2024 conference talk,  "In the Space of Not Many Years"

One of the most important aspects of covenant relationship is love. That prompted the title of this study––Evidences of God's Love: A study of Section 109. We will pair this scripture study with the messages from conference that will help us to learn important truths from both modern and ancient prophets as we study these covenant verses.  

Having a relationship with the Savior is paramount to allowing Him to carry your pain and sorrows. In this episode, Shiree describes how she developed a relationship with Christ, and how that ultimately led her to discover a way to utilize His atonement to help her give her burdens to Him. This episode includes the thing that made a difference for her the most in learning to love and accept her children's choices. For a free mini-session, click HERE. To join the "Just Love Them" Facebook group, click HERE. David A. Bednar quote HERE. W. Christopher Waddell quote HERE.

Elder Bednar's talk is all about finding peace and stillness in a loud and chaotic world. He talks about Christ being the rock we build our foundation on and places and times we can do that so that we have assurance and confidence that everything in our life will be ok. “I believe the Lord's admonition to “be still” entails much more than simply not talking or not moving. Perhaps His intent is for us to remember and rely upon Him and His power “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in.” Thus, “be still” may be a way of reminding us to focus upon the Savior unfailingly as the ultimate source of the spiritual stillness of the soul that strengthens us to do and overcome hard things.” When have you felt that your faith has been a shelter in the storm? “The symbolism of Christ as the “rock” upon whom we should build the foundation of our lives is most instructive. Please note in this verse that the Savior is not the foundation. Rather, we are admonished to build our personal spiritual foundation upon Him.” What experiences have you had with Christ that are in your spiritual foundation?

"When President Russell M. Nelson invited us to think celestially, it reminded us to look harder, take the long view, and change our perspective. For the next six months, that is our quest. We will consider Perspective, Devotion, and Relationship. Let us all look harder and think celestial. It will lead us to discover the rich blessings Heavenly Father has in store for each of us.” 

It is inevitable that someone will emotionally hurt you at church someday. You can either choose to be offended by them or you can actively seek healing through understanding, communication, and by going to the Savior. This episode is based on David A. Bednar's talk titled "And Nothing Shall Offend Them." Link below: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2006/10/and-nothing-shall-offend-them?lang=eng

Participating in God's work helps us see that we are God's wondrous works, His work is for us, and we are dependent on Him for strength. David A.

Elder Bednar's talk “In the Path of Their Duty” reminds us of the small but significant actions of everyday people. Here are some questions to consider as you study: In what ways do you feel unacknowledged or like you're not making a difference? How can you acknowledge others' contributions at work, school, or church?

"Pride must die in you, or nothing in heaven can live in you." – Andrew Murray. "Asking for help does not mean that we are weak or incompetent. It usually indicates an advanced level of honesty and intelligence." – Anne Wilson Schaef "The "Arrows Out™ philosophy is also a way of asking others for help, as it allows them the opportunity to give and share." – Lee Brower "A grateful person is rich in contentment. An ungrateful person suffers in the poverty of endless discontentment." – David A. Bednar

Todd and Kevin review and elaborate on David A. Bednar's talk from the Saturday morning session of October 2023 General Conference. Elder Bednar expressed his love, admiration and gratitude for Latter-day Saints worldwide and described examples of those who are pressing forward “in the path of their duty.” We expound and share personal stories of instance where doing the small things really mattered in our lives and the lives of those around us.

"Abide with us." A simple plea from the disciples on the Road to Emmaus that all of us mothers can learn from as we apply the principle of 'abide' to our daily lives. Today's episode talks about ways we can recognize moments the Savior abides with us in motherhood, as well as ways that we can abide with our Savior and our children daily.   Invitations this week:  "Abide in Me, and I in You; Therefore Walk with Me" by David A Bednar  3 Nephi 17

Elder Bednar, in his talk “‘Abide in Me, and I in You; Therefore Walk with Me,'” talks about the Savior's promise to always be with us. Here are some questions to consider as you study: How can you make Christ the center of your life? Do you believe the principles of the gospel work in YOUR life?

"Our hearts were drawn to the call of a prophet this April 2023 conference weekend. He reminded us that the easiest way to identify a follower of Christ is how compassionately that person treats other people. He told us that charity is the principal characteristic of a true follower of Christ, how charity defines a peacemaker. He promised us that if we would follow his counsel, we would arise as a spiritually strong woman of Christ. And then he told us the best is yet to come for those who spend their lives building up others.The prophet invited us to examine our discipleship, to make adjustments so that our behavior would be representative of a true follower of Jesus Christ. To live and interact with others in a higher, holier way. “I invite you to remember Jesus Christ. Pray to have the courage and wisdom to say or do what He would.” For the next six months, we plan to accept this invitation. In April and May, we will learn to UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE as we study the life and attributes of the PEACE GIVER. In June and July, we will study how to FEEL HIS LOVE as we find ways to experience PERSONAL PEACE. In August and September, we will discover how to SHARE HIS LOVE as we learn how to become PEACEMAKERS.Love gives second chances. Love asks, How can I help? Love is the welcoming in. Love doesn't stand higher, but meets people where they are. Love is never too good for someone. Love is full of grace. Love does not call attention to self. Love has an understanding heart. Love assumes the best. Love will not stand for injustice, helps carry the burden, creates trust, has high hopes and expectations. Love doesn't leave when things get tough.Love never fails.We look forward to spending the next six months with you!"

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke during the Sunday afternoon session of April 2023 general conference. He taught how one can learn and come to abide in Jesus Christ. Kevin and Todd discuss.

Elder Bednar's talk “Put On Thy Strength, O Zion” is very timely with our study of the New Testament this year! Here are some questions to consider as you study: How can you spend extra time in the scriptures this year to understand the parables? “Each of us should evaluate our temporal and spiritual priorities sincerely and prayerfully to identify the things in our lives that may impede the bounteous blessings that Heavenly Father and the Savior are willing to bestow upon us. And surely the Holy Ghost will help us to see ourselves as we really are.” Will you do this? And if you're looking for further study: "The Tender Mercies of the Lord" by David A.

"Satan does not have a body, and his eternal progress has been halted. Just as water flowing in a riverbed is stopped by a dam, so the adversary's eternal progress is thwarted because he does not have a physical body. Because of his rebellion, Lucifer has denied himself all of the mortal blessings and experiences made possible through a tabernacle of flesh and bones. He cannot learn the lessons that only an embodied spirit can learn. He cannot marry or enjoy the blessings of procreation and family life. He cannot abide the reality of a literal and universal resurrection of all mankind. One of the potent scriptural meanings of the word damned is illustrated in his inability to continue developing and becoming like our Heavenly Father. Because a physical body is so central to the Father's plan of happiness and our spiritual development, we should not be surprised that Lucifer seeks to frustrate our progression by tempting us to use our bodies improperly. One of the ultimate ironies of eternity is that the adversary, who is miserable precisely because he has no physical body, invites and entices us to share in his misery through the improper use of our bodies. The very tool he does not have and cannot use is thus the primary target of his attempts to lure us to physical and spiritual destruction.” - David A Bednar, Things As They Really Are. Our bodies are so incredible. We are so blessed to have a body and experience earth life. Join me today as I share some thoughts about our bodies and how satan tries to get us to misuse these amazing gifts. bethnewellcoaching.com bethnewellcoaching@gmail.com

El élder Bednar usa la parábola de la fiesta de bodas del hijo del rey para enseñar que mediante el uso justo de nuestro albedrío moral podemos decidir ser los escogidos del Señor.

We did something crazy and put this episode on Youtube! The talks are by Elder Bednar and Sister Michelle D. Craig. The main themes are the parable of the wedding feast, many are called but few are chosen and trying the word. We have new music!

Learning by faith requires spiritual, mental, and physical exertion and not just passive reception. It is in the sincerity and consistency of our faith-inspired action that we indicate to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our willingness to learn and receive instruction from the Holy Ghost” (David A. Bednar, “Seek Learning by Faith,” Ensign or Liahona, September 2007, 64).“We should not expect the Church as an organization to teach or tell us everything we need to know and do to become devoted disciples and endure valiantly to the end. Rather, our personal responsibility is to learn what we should learn, to live as we know we should live, and to become who the Master would have us become. And our homes are the ultimate setting for learning, living, and becoming” (David A. Bednar, “Prepared to Obtain Every Needful Thing,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2019, 102).“Brothers and sisters, on very thin pages, thick with meaning, are some almost hidden scriptures. Hence we are urged to search, feast, and ponder. Especially, however, we should also do more of what Nephi did, namely “liken all scriptures unto [ourselves]” [Neal A. Maxwell, Lessons from Laman and Lemuel, 1999–O:6]“We are each responsible for our individual spiritual growth.” (Russell M. Nelson, “Opening Remarks,” General Conference, Oct. 2018)“In the home-centered, Church-supported portion of this adjustment, there is flexibility for each individual and family to determine prayerfully how and when it will be implemented. … We trust you to counsel together and to seek revelation for implementing these adjustments—while not looking beyond the mark or trying to regiment individuals or families.” (Quentin L. Cook, “Deep and Lasting Conversion to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ,” General Conference, Oct. 2018)—Talk of Him is presented by Seagull Book and hosted by Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum.

Todd and Kevin tackle Elder Bednar and his insight into the parable of the ‘Royal Marriage Feast,' which Todd says, ‘wasn't as sexy as other Parables of Christ.' All kidding aside, this was our longest podcast yet because it was such a great talk to cover.

In this episode, I speak with Madison Palica, a self-described ex-Mormon. Obviously, there are some things that we disagree on, but you may be surprised about how much we agree on given my brief description. Among the things we discuss in this conversation is the history of the Church with communism and the UN, and particularly Madison's concern about the apparent involvement of Jeffery R Holland and David A Bednar with the “10 principles of climate repentance” announced last month at COP27. 

This episode is based on David A. Bednar's talk, “Put On Thy Strength, O Zion.“ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2022/10/46bednar?lang=eng If you want to learn more about the temple ordinances, here are President Nelson's recommended readings: Read entries in the Bible Dictionary that are related to the temple, such as ‘Anoint,' ‘Covenant,' ‘Sacrifices,' and ‘Temple.'

David A Bednar taught, “Every sincere prayer is heard and answered by our Heavenly Father.”I agree! All of our prayers are heard and answered. However, sometimes those answers don't come as expected or at the time we are wanting but they do come. The key is to find a time and place for prayer that works for each of us.This week on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I am joined by Natalie Bogle. She is a business woman, wife and busy mom of 7.

As the children go back to school, it made us think of all the peer pressure they face to go against things that they know are right. This sort of pressure never really goes away in adulthood. How often have you been tempted to give into arguing your point rather than letting it go? We talk about the pressures of living a Christ centered life in a Me centered world.

In 2016 David A Bednar, Apostle in the LDS Church taught the doctrine of Moral or Representative Agency. This perspective seemed to be different than the type of Agency that Mormonism had taught up to that moment. “Free Agency” was officially gone and something less free was being created. On today’s episode we look at… Read More »Mormon Discussion: 369: The Death of Free Agency in Mormonism The post Mormon Discussion: 369: The Death of Free Agency in Mormonism appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup.

Elder Bednar teaches how covenants and ordinances help us progress along the covenant path and “heed not” what others say.

Taking notes during scripture study is vital. In this episode, I share some thoughts from David A Bednar, Richard G. Scott and Neal A.

In recent weeks, the U.S. has seen two more mass shootings — one at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and the other at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Though President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made at least one comment suggesting that gun laws are too lax and apostles David A. Bednar and Jeffrey R. Holland have lamented the shootings, the Utah-based faith has not made any official statements about these tragedies specifically or gun violence generally. Is it a moral issue for Latter-day Saints? Should it be? What does Latter-day Saint theology have to say about the issue? Discussing those questions and more n this week's show are Patrick Mason, head of Mormon history and culture at Utah State University and the author or editor of several books, including “Mormonism and Violence: The Battles of Zion,” and “Proclaim Peace: The Restoration's Answer to an Age of Conflict,” and Janiece Johnson, historian of American religion and the author of books on Latter-day Saint women and the Mountain Meadows Massacre, including the forthcoming “American Punishment: The Mountain Meadows Massacre and Mormon Transgressions.”

Elder David A. Bednar of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. today and took questions for the first time since President Gordon B. Hinckley took the stage 22 years ago.  Boyd looks at what he had to say about everything from the Church's humanitarian work to education.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you struggle to hear the voice of the Spirit? If so, you are in really good company. I recently surveyed a group of women and asked them how confident they felt in their ability to receive personal revelation. There was a sliding scale of 1-5, 1 being "I wonder if God ever speaks to me," and 5 being "I am confident in my ability to Hear Him." Almost half of the respondents chose either 1 or 2. Bottom line: it is difficult to distinguish the Lord's voice from our own thoughts. It is a skill that takes some practice. In this episode, I will teach you how to "Live in Revelation," by giving you a big-picture view. Then, I will break it down into practical things you can do each day to increase your ability to hear and heed God's voice. This week's SHINE challenge: For the next week, commit to recording how you see the Lord's hand in your life each day. How does He show up for you in ways, both small and great?

Have you ever had an experience where you stop and think, there's no chance that that was a coincidence? Today we're going to talk about orbits, and how the Lord puts us in certain orbits so that we can influence each other for good and make his purposes happen. We're sharing some personal stories, in the past and recently too, about how certain people were placed in our path, or orbit, to work out the details of our lives and show us that God really is in charge.   Time Stamps: [00:34] - Your precise human orbit illuminates the landscape of your individual life. [02:54] - Corrine tells a story of “chaos”. [05:07] - How did chaos turn into alignment? [07:36] - The opportunities that overlap are meant to be. [10:33] - If everything was predetermined, there'd be no need for agency. What's the difference between predetermined and foreordination? [12:39] - Neil shares a story of “coincidence”. [15:25] - How did coincidence turn into a purposeful message? [17:32] - Things don't happen by chance. [19:03] - Corrine talks about her persistence when sending support to Ukraine.  [21:48] - Corrine kept trying to figure out how to get the monetary support to its destination. [24:29] - What was the orbit overlap that allowed the monetary support to finally be sent? [27:29] - Corrine recaps all the orbit overlaps that helped in her story. What are her thoughts? [30:10] - There's nothing impossible for miracles that are coming your way. [32:56] - Miracles are reassurances. [34:49] - Receive personal revelation so you can live to your maximum potential. [36:43] - Each of us still has many chapters to write in our life.   Supporting Resources: “The Tender Mercies of the Lord” Talk by David A. Bednar

My sweet friend Lexi is so amazing yet often feels like she is a terrible and inadequate person. Lexi humbly testifies of her experience with the Savior's grace. Through her mental health struggles, she came to know what it means to be saved by grace (2 Nephi 25: 23). **** I mention Sheri Dew's talk titled "Sweet Above All That Is Sweet" from the 2014 BYU Women's Conference. https://womensconference.byu.edu/sites/womensconference.ce.byu.edu/files/sheri_dew.pdf This talk is the one where David A. Bednar said it's OK to talk about the temple. :) https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2019/04/54bednar?lang=eng
