Preach My Gospel Podcast Utah Valley Institute of Religion

How can you grow into the principle of revelation and learn to be spiritually led at this critical time of your life?

Listen in as Sean and Brian discuss a pattern outlined in President Russell M. Nelson's talk "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives" (April 2018).


"Follow the example of the Prophet Joseph:

1. Find a quiet place where you can regularly go.

2. Humble yourself before God.

3. Pour out your heart to your Heavenly Father. Turn to Him for answers and for comfort.

4. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses—yes, the very longings of your heart.

5. And then listen!

6. Write the thoughts that come to your mind. Record your feelings and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take.

As you repeat this process day after
day, month after month, year after year, you will “grow into the principle of revelation.” (April 2018)

Learn how to overcome the bullies of fear and pride through uncompromising honesty and embracing our three friends on the path of repentance- Godly sorrow, a broken heart, and a contrite spirit.
