In this week’s 5 Min Talk, I’m sharing my personal insights from Elder Gerrit W. Gong’s inspiring October 2025 General Conference message titled “No One Sits Alone.” Elder Gong reminds us that as disciples of Jesus Christ, we are better together — that nobody should ever feel isolated, unseen, or alone in the gospel or in life. We’ll briefly explore what it means to truly welcome, include, and love those around us, both in the pew and in our everyday circles — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His message offers an invitation to each of us to reach out, connect, and be present for one another.

We all stumble. We all fall short. But the beauty of walking with Jesus is knowing that failure is never the end of the story. We are three weeks into the "Summer Of Strive" series which means three weeks working on a goal. Chances are, you might have messed up. I have messed up. It is hard to admit, but I know that we can 100% dust ourselves and try again. I share 3 tips on how to do that this week. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the show!!
