Ethan Baggley joins Dr. Kirk Burbidge to explore the cunning tactics of the adversary, drawing insights from Elder Marion G. Romney’s 1971 talk, “Satan—The Great Deceiver.” Together, they unpack the contrast between inward-facing lives marked by pride and self-focus, and outward-facing discipleship rooted in humility and service. They highlight the fatal flaw in Satan’s plan—its denial of agency—and share the empowering hope that comes from understanding our divine identity and choosing to follow Christ.
