"The Choice" by Elder Boyd K. Packer

Regular guest Brad McBride texted Matthew in the middle of Elder Dushku's talk a few weeks ago: "I call dibs on Elder Dushku." And boy was it a good call! We're talking about some of our own spiritual experiences, discussing how to recognize the Holy Ghost, and the importance of writing down your top 10 experiences for your own spiritual benefit. This was a great episode and Brad shared a powerful testimony!

And there are so many amazing resources we referenced for this talk, give it a listen!

"He that seeketh signs shall see signs, but not unto salvation." (D&C 63:7)

The Spirit of Revelation by Elder David A. Bednar

“A person may profit by noticing the first intimation of the spirit of revelation; for instance, when you feel pure intelligence flowing into you.” - Joseph Smith

“When a man has the manifestation from the Holy Ghost, it leaves an indelible impression on his soul, one that is not easily erased. It is Spirit speaking to spirit, and it comes with convincing force. A manifestation of an angel, or even of the Son of God himself, would impress the eye and mind, and eventually become dimmed, but the impressions of the Holy Ghost sink deeper into the soul and are more difficult to erase.” - Joseph Fielding Smith Jr.

Shelby C. and Shelbi S. hit the mics this week as they discuss Elder Eyring's talk, "All Will Be Well Because of Temple Covenants." We both admit that we would openly be a sister Eyring in the moment!

Covenant Confidence through Jesus Christ

This week Keenan and Shelbi hit the mics to discuss Elder Soares Talk, "Covenant Confidence through Jesus Christ" They both share their personal reasons as to why this talk stood out to them and most importantly why temples are so important is because of COVENANTS that are made, not just the location of a temple being built.

New co-host Keenan joins Matthew to discuss "Fruit that Remains" by Elder Matthew L. Carpenter. This talk caused a bit of a stir online, with contributors at the Salt Lake Tribune even repeatedly calling for it to be deleted from Church publications. But those fingers of scorn are completely undeserved. This was a great talk, and we're happy to share it with you.
