Clips from Elder David A Bednar - CES teaching. 2020

My favorite video!! So, I made clips of favorite sections that inspired me!
Elder Bednar is very motivating! You can feel His testimony in your heart as he shares knowledge and understanding... to seek answers, how to teach youth to recognize the spirit, understanding questions to ask, and loving your students.
Here is the link to the actual "Evening with a General Authority"
• An Evening with a Gene...

I love Elder Bednar. What a special witness he really is.

I appreciate this condensed version. Sometimes I'm not motivated to hear from the leaders in the Church. Mainly because I've been trained to be entertained. However, when I do listen, I always learn something.

You’ve been TRAINED TO BE ENTERTAINED.??????? What in the world is THAT.???????? I’d be ashamed To even say it.! Maybe you’re a spoiled BRAT.? UNBELIEVABLE. IVE HEARD IT ALL NOW.

A wonderful speaker

[@wallylawrence]

@@marasoltanis3596 You're right. I should have said I have been conditioned through my youth to seek out entertainment. It's nothing I'm proud of, and it interferes with keeping the Sabbath day Holy, i.e.., watching football and dining out on Sunday. Skipping Church because the talks were boring. (Im also including myself as a boring speaker) I taught a Sunday School lesson once to a bunch of 14 yr. olds. We were to make a list of things which are pleasurable , and then a list of things that create happiness . Sometimes, boring talks are hard to listen to, but in the end the truths that are revealed provide happiness, I'm not saying Elder Bednar's talk was boring. I'm saying I , in my opinion I didn't find it entertaining, however, the truths he revealed in his talk, if followed will be a source of happiness.

You're welcome. I condensed it so I could have a better resource when referring back to it. It has helped me a lot and my family.

I am thinking about the struggling person who desires so much to keep the commandments and maybe they’re addicted to alcohol or pornography or they’re living a life of tampering with immorality, and that’s become such a lifestyle that they may not recognize a problem. I know that God will reach the souls if they just look to him and pray to him and seriously want to change their lives. They may be not keeping the Commandments, but as they pray and reach for him he really does sin the Holy Ghost anyway and he does sin help anyway so they can, and for sure will get guidance, even as they live in sinful ways if they seek God for his help.

Something that completely had a paradigm shift for me on this topic you are referring to, is when I read the book, "Visions of Glory". There is a chapter that shows what is happening TO US by the evil or disembodied spirits when we give in to temptation. It is incredible!! I believe this chapter would help so many people.
