As a cradle Mormon (former) I found the last actual conclave fascinating just because it is so overtly political, while as a child I had understood the LDS process to be purely spiritually guided. In reality of course the LDS succession is determined by seniority.

Stop lying Reeves!!! This is what Joseph said, deceiver: "The CURSE is not yet taken off the sons of Canaan, neither will it be until it is affected by as great a power as caused it to come." Joseph Smith April 7, 1836!!! You are a lying deceiver who has deceived even the very elect, Reeves!!!

I believe that Jesus Christ, as the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, also had prophets in other lands, including the America's, China, India, etc.. I love how beautifully S Michael Wilcox uses these unofficial scriptures in his study, and shared his findings with us.

I have love Brother Wilcox for decades. I have often returned to this podcast. I often share it with others. Thank you for sharing.

Glad to hear that. Mallory, I'm on my way.

Beautiful. 🙏💖

Looking at it from Joseph's perspective is such an interesting way to view our Savior's Birth. Thanks for sharing 😀

I don't have to believe a little german boy was really devoured by a wolf to understand the meaning behind the little boy who cried wolf story. Sometimes, the moral of a story is more important than whether the events are actually true.

A great talk. Dr. Lisa Miller’s The Awakened Brain is a profoundly insightful exploration of the vital connection between psychology and spirituality. As we face an era marked by increasing social disaffection, mental and emotional health challenges, polarization, and a pervasive distrust in institutions, her work serves as a beacon of hope. Dr. Miller’s research underscores the transformative power of religiosity and spiritual transcendence in fostering resilience, meaning, and human flourishing. This groundbreaking contribution not only enriches the field of psychology but also reminds us of the enduring importance of nurturing our spiritual selves in navigating life’s complexities. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the mind, heart, and soul.

This is incredible. I love it.

After they mentioned Pinto, I was shocked! My ancestors were original settlers so after a google search, there was the name of my 3xGreat Uncle listed in an article about the massacre. He was also a mission companion to Jacob Hamblin. History and genealogy is so interesting. Thank you for all you have done to preserve this monstrous tragedy. These innocent people deserve to be remembered.

He is an educated ignorant one! Hes phoney essay about Race and the priesthood is hogwash and not ifficial church foctrine st sll! It contradicts the scriptures (Abraham chapter one snd Mises chapter seven)!! Inspired exvrptions were made for this ban up until as late as 1935, but this is the statement that this man and sll others who eorship the idol god of politicsl correctness eould not like you to see! They eant to change history!! "The CURSE is not yet takrn off the dond of Canasn, neither eill it be until it is affected by as great a power as caused it to come." Jisrph Dmith April 7, 1836!!!

I'm a gen x'er. My son read this book and told me about it. I am in the process of reading it. A lot I can relate to having grown up in a very different and rigid church than exists today. It was a very clickish environment and some of those elements still exist today, especially in Utah. (I am a Utah native) Some of the concepts I struggle with. We can do better at excepting the sinner(referring to all of us because we are all sinners) without excepting the sin. We definitely can create a more welcoming and inclusive place. But I think we need to be careful. The world's idea of inclusivity is acceptance of lifestyles that are in oppostion to His teachings. The Lord's is come as you are and let me make you better. With all that said and not being one of the rising generation I can relate to the feelings of not being accepted. Feeling marginalized. I just want to strive to follow the Lord and it is difficult to do without support and a place to be able share feelings and concerns and questions openly and honestly without fear of judgement.

How do I purchase the scripture in color?

This has been so helpful for me. Thank you 42:41

Really worthwhile listen! Thank you!

Thank you for hosting Janette, for your vision that sees her message as so vital. I look back on my decades of fearing I could lose my membership in the church I love if I questioned a priesthood leader's motives as I experienced or understood them. I hope to find more of her 'preaching "!

Great topic. I look forward to listening to this.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mormonism is a good home for the LGBQ community.

As a former member, you have no idea what you are talking about. You are solely extrapolating on the reverse of LDS teaching. You’ve never lived this life and as an ex-member the church is build and continues to exist of lies, smoke, and mirrors.

Can't believe you have people pay you to help them leave the church!! You're making money off of women losing faith in the gospel!! This is so sad! And if you say that's not your intention, you're not being honest. How can you be an expert on this? Do you feel like the church has betrayed you? Perhaps this is easier for you than helping someone strengthen their beliefs and you find it lucrative.

I don't think islands are disappearing.

Loved this. Thank you.

This!

Sounds so much like Non-violent communication by Marshall Rosenberg . Another example of coming to shared true principles even though they began with different research questions. 😍

My wife and I have attended all three of the Restore conferences over the past few years, Joseph Grenny was a huge highlight the first year. We were thrilled to see him this year again, and his talk was once again, one of the best for us. Thanks for introducing him to us, love all his work!

This was absolutely fantastic! One of the most needed and useful episodes of any podcast I have ever listened to and I listen to thousands. And yes it is absolutely crucial to differentiate between conflict and contention. Conflict is inevitable as part of social and human interaction. Contention is a matter of the heart and flows from pride more than desire of healthy or true relationship. One of the challenges I face in applying this material is that I struggle to be fluent in articulating the jumble of thoughts in my head at any given point. It is very hard for me to be direct because sometimes the thoughts and feelings aretoo jumbled and ambiguouss in my head or that I cannot remember concrete instances when things happened to create the feelings. Anyway, thank you for such a timely and critical conversation! This is one I will listen to multiple times and share with everyone I know. Yes, this should definitely be taught in schools and homes.

This is so so good. 😅 😮‍💨 I’m going to share it with a few people I hope to have critical conversations with. Thank you🙏🏼

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: "Strange as it may seem, the world needs more conflict, not less. "The goal cannot and should not be to eliminate conflict. Conflict is an inevitable-and useful-part of life. "The challenge is not to eliminate conflict but to transform it. It is to change the way we deal with our differences-from destructive, adversarial battling to hard-headed, side-by-side problem-solving. "In today’s world, characterized by flatter organizations, faster innovation, and the explosion of the Internet, it is clearer than ever that to accomplish our work and meet our needs, we often have to rely on dozens, hundreds, perhaps thousands of individuals and organizations over whom we exercise no direct control. "We simply cannot rely on giving orders-even when we are dealing with employees or children. To get what we want, we are compelled to negotiate.... "Hierarchies tend to bottle up conflict, which comes out into the open as hierarchies give way to networks. "Democracies surface rather than suppress conflict, which is why democracies often seem so quarrelsome and turbulent when compared with more authoritarian societies." --Getting to Yes, by Fisher, Roger; Ury, William

So valuable. The LDS culture where I live often confuses healthy conflict resolution with contention.

Joseph Grenny is an amazing person ☺️

They approached me in Pittsburgh and I wondered if it’s because they wanted to “save” me. 😂 don’t they think black people were cursed?

Jesus is the ONLY way to God!

She wants to free herself from this creation don’t be fooled. Enslaving her and abusing her is not what she’s asked for all humanity trying to make this a love story is sickening….. give me a break you all have no idea what is really going on but want to take it until you can…. She is her freewill

WE ARE THE CHURCH, exactly!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹❤️

This testimony is soooooo powerful and truly speaks to me! I am feeling the Spirit so much, brother, thank you for sharing this and for living your courageous journey of love in the face of so much hardship!

Revealed interpretations-- you mean those people who claim they talk to/hear from God. You can't really argue with them, can you? You would be arguing with God.

Great discussion. So needed!

Wonderfully impressive woman who thinks big. Thank you for your contributions.

What a wonderful and timely topic. Serving is the core of the gospel, I think. It's a great insight that it can also build community among ward members.

This is so sweet and deeply meaningful. Wilcox has a way of talking about the simple but profound things that Jesus taught in a non-cliched way.

Do we as a church owe the black people of the world an apology for what happened? Was one given?

Love how Lowell Bennion was mentioned. I love his writings so much ❤ He was an incredible man!

How do we order this book? What is the cost? Lovely cover!

“I liken [a life of loving, caring flow] a little bit to the body of Christ. … -We need people who are thinkers, people who are doers, people who change diapers, people who feed other people. All of those jobs are needed. And even still in our lives we have different jobs at different times.” -Hannah Packard Crowther ~ 6:24 🤲 “There is an endless list of other lives we could be living.” -Aubrey Chaves ~ 4:50

Great stuff here!

Are we getting a link to their podcast soon?

Bought "Gracing" at the Restore conference...awesome book! Thank you Hannah...
