Overcoming the World - Taking a Stand Against Internal Foes

What keeps me from getting closer to the Savior? How could I do better? Is there anything that I need to remove from or add to my life in order to feel the Spirit more throughout the day? Discussing Elder Andersen’s talk “Overcoming the World” was a great chance for us to do some self-analysis and determine what things in the world are holding us back. The references in this episode were coming left and right, so be sure to check out the things we talk about after listening! Thank you!
