Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

The Christ Cycle: Reluctance and Return – Overcoming Hesitation and Recommitting to Purpose


Listen Later

In this episode of The Christ Cycle, Maurice Harker explores two critical phases of Christ’s journey: Reluctance and Return. Even Christ, in His perfect divinity, experienced a moment of hesitation in the Garden of Gethsemane, recognizing the immense suffering ahead. Yet, He submitted to the will of the Father and moved forward with unwavering commitment.

We’ll examine how reluctance plays a role in our own lives—how feelings of hesitation, fear, and self-doubt can either paralyze us or refine our purpose. We’ll discuss how Christ’s example teaches us to acknowledge vulnerability, seek divine guidance, and ultimately embrace the path ahead.

In the Return phase, we see how Christ re-engaged with His mission, not out of obligation, but from a place of renewed strength and purpose. By understanding this cycle, we can learn to overcome hesitation and recommit to our own divine purpose with greater faith, clarity, and resolve.
