“Have been listening/watching since 2020. Great podcast with amazing insights and focus on the scriptures - so amazed at the negativity in some of the reviews. Not following the manual or using Church distribution materials? I’ve sat through countless Gospel Doctrine classes and Fast & Testimony meetings where zero scriptures are read and people are just spouting off their own experiences and interpretations that have very little basis in the scriptures or doctrine — that is not this podcast. Grace brings a fun, youthful energy and perspective to this podcast. David and Grace have a genuine, infectious love for our Savior and the scriptures, and I appreciate the thought and care they put into these lessons. It’s easy to be critical typing on a screen and forget these are actual individuals. It’s a free resource (but yes you can buy other materials).
“Just as God rejoices when we persevere, He is disappointed if we do not recognize that others are trying too. Our dear friend Thoba shared how she learned this lesson from her mother, Julia. Julia and Thoba were among the early black converts in South Africa. After the apartheid regime ended, black and white members of the Church were permitted to attend church together. For many, the equality of interaction between the races was new and challenging. One time, as Julia and Thoba attended church, they felt they were treated less than kindly by some white members. As they left, Thoba complained bitterly to her mother. Julia listened calmly until Thoba had vented her frustration. Then Julia said, ‘Oh, Thoba, the Church is like a big hospital, and we are all sick in our own way. We come to church to be helped.’” - “Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying””
