In this video, Preston Purnell offers a unique approach to temple preparation by drawing parallels between Disney's "The Lion King" and temple ordinances in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Preston shows how this beloved film can help members better understand and prepare for sacred temple experiences.

The discussion covers:

• How the royal journey of Simba mirrors aspects of our own spiritual progression
• Why temple endowment might feel overwhelming without proper preparation
• The connection between baptism and royal anointing
• How initiatory ordinances help us remember our divine identity
• The temple as a place for personal revelation and spiritual connection

Preston explains how understanding the royal nature of temple ordinances helps members appreciate their divine heritage as children of God. By using familiar cultural references, he illuminates the profound meaning behind temple ceremonies and our potential to become joint heirs with Christ.
