    The fact that people like this - equal to any general Church leader past or present - exist in so many of the quiet corners of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is why we will become what we are prophesied to become. From libraries to lecturns, every one of us can lift where we stand and do so like God Himself because of His grace.

    Clear, artful, deep, wallopingly spiritual! Wow! (He has the words. I do not.) I’ll be listening to this on repeat. It’s too richly packed for me to get it in one take. So many seemingly simplistic themes yet so worthy of a deep dive!

    What a brilliant and insightful talk! I'm going to rewind and listen again. I need to write some of this down to ponder. And super sweet and self revealing in his laughing at himself. So very glad I watched this today!❤❤❤

    Thank you. It is a great reminder of the answers to the what, where, when, how, why, who life's questions, offered by the restored Gospel.

    Hallelujah Brother Anderson! I love it! We cannot serve God and mammon. Becoming the BYU it is destined to be is contingent upon our collective rejection of the mocking of the world--a world who lacks eternal perspective and cannot see afar off--and embracing wholeheartedly the Savior and His restored church. May we all--all members of the Church who have or have not attended BYU--be fully converted to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and stand for and with BYU in its divine mission. Let's become who we need to become and teach who we are. And may we never--even in the smallest ways--sell our spiritual birthrights for a mess of temporal pottage (the gain and glory of the world). Thank you for being clear, concise, and bold!

    Thank you! This was an amazing talk and it says something about BYU that we have been so inspired and spiritual fed by more than the religion faculty. I already shared this as I listened. It is SO good! Thank you!

    Wonderful. The presence of the Tree of Light in the Book of Mormon is a testament to its validity as an ancient document. It is the binary moment.

  • @paulchristian2788

    Love this presentation on several levels: (1) the Book of Mormon is divine scripture, (2) the heavens are not closed, (3) condemn the things of God at your own peril, (4) none are excluded from His atoning reach/none are cast off forever.
    Reminds me of a quote from Joseph Smith: “…does it remain for a people who never had faith enough to call down one scrap of revelation from heaven…to say how much God has spoken…and not spoken…”
    The Restoration is simultaneously simple, and complex; It is miraculous, it is marvelous, it is true. It’s up to us imperfect, faithful saints to live it as true disciples.
    Long live the Librarians of this church!

    Eu pude sentir a sua emoção e refletir.
    Muito obrigado!
    Já imaginou se pudéssemos voltar na época dos Templos do livro de Mórmon?!
    Acho que as mulheres dos incas podiam ter recebido bem mais atenção como recebem hoje. Eles não cairiam. Por isso
    vamos celebrar!
    O Livro de Mórmon é verdadeiro!
    Jesus Cristo vive!
