Join hosts Ganel-Lyn Condie and John Fossum on this New Testament episode of Talk of Him as we explore these important themes, topics, and questions from Matthew 11-12; Luke 11:

Matthew 11:28-30 - get yoked!

Being yoked to Christ means He will help us while still letting us feel the weight so we can grow!

The portion that we are called to bear is a sacred stewardship that connects us to the Savior.

“Drop [your] burdens at his feet and bear a song away” - LDS Hymnal #125

Prayer is about an open conversation that brings your will in line with God!

“As we draw nearer to [the Savior], surrendering ourselves spiritually to His care, we will be able to take upon ourselves His yoke, which is easy, and His burden, which is light, thus finding that promised comfort and rest. Furthermore, we will receive the strength we all need to overcome the hardships, weaknesses, and sorrows of life, which are exceedingly difficult to endure without His help and healing power” (Elder Ulisses Soares, “Jesus Christ: The Caregiver of Our Soul,” Ensign, May 2021).

“Even in turbulent times, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is gritty and resilient. It helps us sift through unimportant distractions. It encourages us to keep moving along the covenant path. Faith pushes through discouragement and allows us to face the future with resolve and squared shoulders. It prompts us to ask for rescue and relief as we pray to the Father in the name of His Son. And when prayerful pleas seem to go unanswered, our persistent faith in Jesus Christ produces patience, humility, and the ability to reverently utter the words “Thy will be done.” (2020–O:80, Lisa L. Harkness, Peace, Be Still)

“While faith is not a perfect knowledge, it brings a deep trust in God, whose knowledge is perfect!” (Neal A. Maxwell, “Lest Ye Be Wearied and Faint in Your Minds,” Ensign, May 1991, 89.)
