Agency
November 14, 2024

Agency, it is something that we use every day. A gift from God that we fought to keep before we came to earth and that we must exercise everyday, hopefully, to help us gain a better understanding of our heavenly heritage. From the first instruction given to Adam, on down to the choices we make today, agency is critical to God's plan and our salvation. The hardest part with agency, is remembering to use it so that we are creatures that act instead of just being acted upon. A great study with pre-planned side rails that, as usual, takes us off the rails but with amazing results. Studying this leads us to prepare for next week's episode about accountability.

Agency is a privilege given to us by God and is essential in the plan of salvation:

A Promo of Quality

Meekness

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xP630XMqc3Ogta2IHmU2T?si=7ABG2MpfQ7WLXvwe45fdJA

This episode we examine what is possibly one of the greatest attributes of Christ and one of the hardest to exhibit. Meekness is not just simply admitting or internalizing that you are not enough, it requires certain action to be taken. Through it, faith and understanding in the Savior is increased. The Savior even tells us that it is the meek that shall inherit the earth. Join us as we work our way, as humbly as we know how, through examples and reasons for adopting such a trait and what it could do to help enhance our own lives.

Thanks for your support.

AI and the Gospel

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6X386SpPLITiDJv2L906iX?si=gSdNhWrlTyS29FfSqxmgLA

If there really is nothing new under the sun, what does the gospel have to tell us about AI? From Paul Harvey to ancient and current appostles, we look at warnings and encouragement with this new tool that we are being introduced to. If we are not careful, we can let this tool take control of our lives, just like any other addiction can. However, if we learn how to properly use it without losing focus on the Savior, Jesus Christ, it can be an incredible force for good and understanding of this beautiful universe God has given us.

Ye Are Creators

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4k6PhoMO74rYPSHEjPJVj9?si=nOiUi4ThQmSiTzKioA61tQ

Ever wonder why Genesis is at the beginning of the Bible? Why are people always so fascinated and attracted to creativity? We dig in to see how our relationship with the Creator directly affects our desire to do the same. From stacking blocks as a child to inventing the latest microchip to enhance computing power to the next towering skyscraper, to the latest friend added to your circle. Our whole lives center around creation in some form, perhaps it is something we inherited, and it is definitely something we should be developing and multiplying.

We Are Creators

 

“You become what you want to be, by consistently being what you want to become each day.” 

  • Richard G. Scott

“Set aside those things that don’t really matter and do something with eternal consequence” 

  • Also Richard G. Scott

 

“Learning to trust yourself is the greatest discovery in life. Think of it… you receive the most incredible idea you’ve ever received and then squander it away by asking someone else what they think of your idea. The idea was given to YOU because you have the capacity and the ability to make it come alive, whether you believe it or not.”

  • Tony Child

 

Challenge: Get creative, find opportunities for creation to enrich your life and the life of those around you.
