Today we will talk about a phrase that shows up in the scritpures a lot. "For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still." We also read 2 Nephi 28:32 which explains what this means! You are never too far away from the reach of Jesus Christ.

Whether or not we believe in Christ right now, every single person who has ever lived, is living, or will live, chose to follow Jesus Christ and chose Heavenly Father's plan in the premortal life! We all fought at Christ's side. He asks that we continue to fight with him and help others return to his side! We read some passages from the Topics and Questions section on churchofjesuschrist.org under Plan of Salvation and Premortality. And we share a quote from Al Carraway!

Nephi shows courage in 1 Nephi 3:7. He says hat he knows that the Lord only asks us to do something if it is good and if it is possible to accomplish it. With Faith, Nephi follows the Lord and we can to. We will never be disappointed when we follow the Lord

Today, Kenzie shares another favorite quote from, "Using the Supernal Gift of Prayer." This talk was given by Richard G. Scott in April of 2007. The Lord promises that if we are trying to follow him, answers to prayers will come. Sometimes the Lord asks that we act in faith, and then answers come. He trusts us. He trusts you. I share my testimony of that trust and how I got an answer to my prayers, that marrying Kenzie is the best decision I could ever make!

This week, my beautiful wife, Kenzie, and I will share some thoughts with you. Today she shares a favorite quote from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's October 1999 address titled, "An High Priest of Good Things to Come." Before you listen, I want to invite you to think of what this name of Christ means to you. Why would the Apostle Paul call Jesus this? God is aware of you!

If you couldn't tell, I love Elder Patrick Kearon's talk, "About His Business." He ends his talk with a beautiful statement. That is what I will share today.

In Elder Kearon's talk, "About His Business," he talks about how callings we receive from God are tailor-made to us and tailor-made to help us grow. Today we talk about that and how serving in any capacity, matters to the Lord.

Elder Patrick Kearon gave a talk in the April 2026 General Conference called, "About His Business." In it he talks about callings in the Church and it got me thinking about my calling. I often wonder if there is more I can do or if I am doing my part in the Lord's work. Today I was reminded that whatever offering I give, if I give willingly and with humility, it is enough. And the Lord will accept it, and he will bless me. The same is true for you.

President Russell M. Nelson gave a talk called Peacemakers Needed in April 2023. In this talk, he reminds us that being Christ-like is a CHOICE. And choosing Christ is always possible. May we choose Christ now and always.

The Lord has blessed each of us Gifts of the Spirit. No one has all of them but EVERYONE has some. It is up to us to grow these gifts and then to share them with everyone so that we can all profit from that which the Lord has given. I invite you all to grow these gifts and use them to bless others. In return, the Lord will bless you.
