    I love the Prophet Joseph Smith because he has introduced me to the true character of our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

      100% agree. I am a convert of 4 decades and one of the chief things that converted me was Joseph Smith receiving the knowledge of the true character of our Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus the Christ.

      As a senior grandmother, If I could give any new member any thoughts, it would be to not look at other's lives, what they "seemingly" have and compare it to what we have, don't let imperfect people offend us etc., just pray all day every day in all our daily comings and goings, and keep the Lord close to us - he will "be with us" when we do this. I don't know how he can be there every moment of every day - for everyone who invites him, but I just know He is. Church is a hospital for the marred, broken, lonely, the vengeful, and the sinners. No one is any better than any of us, even though they might think they are. They just have different trials and weaknesses, tests and strengths in their plan, than us. We all learn and improve at different speeds..in those different areas. Sadly, some never learn and improve much at all in this life; thereby, missing the whole point of their mission here in this sphere of activity.

      Welcome. As a convert myself of over 45 years now, I can honestly say it is the BEST decision I ever made. The Church is true! Continue learning, praying, growing, and you will have a blessed life. Happy New Year.🙏❣

    Thank you Dr. Griffin for your wonderful insights and thoughts on the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Each time I've studied the Doctrine and Covenats I often wonder if I will ever get the full picture of what it has been like in the begging. I hope to learn more this time around. And Thanks Hank and John for continuing your podcasts. I feel like I can get more out of my studying of the scriptures by listening to your podcast weekly. Thanks.

    Recently I felt stuck in my seminary teaching. I thought I was teaching the same topics over and over and worried my youth were going to get tired and disconnect. I spoke with my trainer who reminded me of the beauty and purpose of repetition. Truly the Lord never stops using repetition to teach us. Thank you for being back, I am excited to learn again!

It wasn't too many years ago when we had little resources to help strengthen our faith and study. Now we are blessed tremendously. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge to all people everywhere! He is "my Jesus" and "love is the greatest motivator".

    john 3:16 is my personal scripture... my dad and probably me and all 3 of my kids and my hubby are autistic. When i am actually rubbish with relationships but also on a convenential path all about relationships... I'm so messed up.... most of my callings have been a bit isolated tooo. Then this verse brought me to tears because it defines relationships and in it I have a dad and a brother and i know that it will all work out all my callings have been with children and youth I am loved by my hubby and stay.

    I loved the fact about Brad Wilcox. When I was 19 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I went to a area young adult conference and President Wilcox found out and he told me that I was the “strongest person I know” and gave me the biggest hug. He has been such an influence to me and my girls. My daughter got to hug him and get a picture with him not too long ago at an EFY fireside. Love you all.

    Speaking of historic and prehistoric, my 6-year old son walked by the TV while this episode was playing, and he asked this while pointing to John, "Wait, Dad, that's you when you were younger?" I'm probably 10 years younger than John, and a very good looking man 😜. So, John, my son basically said that you look good for your age.

    Love the comment at 20:18 about how God kept the restoration of the gospel measured so there was time for roots to grow. Something that I've wondered lately is if the church is true, why isn't it growing faster? And I think this comment was an answer I needed. God is deliberate and is treating all of us as individuals with our own roots to grow

I'm very grateful that this podcast will continue on!!! I enjoy your rich insights as well as sense of humor. I'm very pleased that "Barney Fife" has made an appearance and hope that he will have more cameo's!!! Great impersonation John! Thank-you Sorensen family and thank you Hank, John and guests for your efforts.

    This was an amazing time with learned men learning so much more insights of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so happy to stumble on this podcast and have been taught amazingly this evening. Thank you very much for this wonderful lesson taught to me. I’m looking forward to Part 2 tomorrow night. I’m spreading it out because there is so much taught in lesson one that needs to be absorbed by my brain mind and heart to remember the wonderful lessons taught in this lesson. Thank you very much. Looking forward to more of this kind. Love you. ❤

    Echoing all those above me, my husband & I thoroughly enjoy these wonderful podcasts. Each time I watch or listen, I gain so much more so that when I read my scripture of the day, I feel so much more enlightened. When Dr. (Brother) Griffin began his explanation of why we read these particular scriptures this year, it hit me that we don’t NEEd to memorize, dates, places, etc to strengthen our faith, but it’s our connection with Father & the Lord as we walk with them & learn to become WHO we were intended to become as we travel our lives.
    (An aside): John : you saved our young 17 year old many moons ago at EFY in 2000. He loved your classes & he discovered himself. Now 42--6 children -leading out with Succeed in School.

    I love your presentations and yes I will be with you to the bitter end. Bitter, because I wont want it to end. John mentioned where Nephi said "my Jesus". Yes I love this. I have always loved this phrase and and loved what Elder Hirst said in last conference talk. I have started the Book of Mormon again and I saw something that I have never seen before (as you point out we are always being taught) 1 Nephi 1:15 after this manner was the language of my father in praising "his God"! Isnt that the coolest? Love you brethren.

    For the past few years, one of my favorite scriptures has been John 15 because Jesus teaches us about abiding in His love. When I hear the children sing “When I walk with Jesus and He will walk with me” I feel like they’re teaching us about abiding in Jesus’s love.

    🎉 Oh my goodness, how packed full this episode was! 🎉 And, I'm only halfway through! I generally wait until I listen to both parts before I comment, but I could not withhold myself.
    There are so many things that I loved about this discussion that we've had (I included myself there, as I felt so welcomed). First of all, I love that you had Tyler Griffin on! I went to find this week's lesson and saw Tyler's face and thought I was in the wrong place but then realized it was actually Follow Him and was jumping up and down, on the inside, because I will be missing his teaching this coming year.
    Also, thank you for including so much of the Book of Mormon, in this episode. As I want to read from it daily, I struggle somewhat on the years where it isn't our text. So, thanks for helping me get my BOM study in for the night. 😀
    The three of you very knowledgeable yet humble servants of the Lord discussed our gospel with such love of the Savior, it just filled my heart. Thank you.
    Hank and John, I can never thank you enough for allowing your natural humor to come out.
    Tyler, thank you for telling us your goals for the year, as they strengthened mine, which are the same.
    So, in a very small nutshell I received, from this lesson, the Love of the Lord; the Holy Spirit; more insight into both the Book of Mormon and the Proclamation; and some laughs along the way 😊

    There are now three operating temples in the Philippines and 10 others (or more) are in planning or construction stages. I was giving a concluding talk as bishop of our ward one Sunday a few weeks after the dedication of the Cebu Temple. I still remember that I told the congregation that when I joined the Church the nearest temple was Tokyo. I then told them that I'm now at peace because there's a second temple in the Philippines. Little did I know that the Lord will build more temples in my beloved country. A few months later, Pres. Monson announced more temples to be constructed in the Philippines...

    How can anyone in our church, obtain a testimony of Joseph Smith with out first believing in the concepts of the Book of mormon. How can anyone in our church have this testiomony unless he has been endowed with the converting power of the Holy Ghost. then let them who have been babtized with fire. feel the first fruits of the Gospel. then if they continue holding on to the sourse of this fire. he can no wise deny the divinity of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
