I just got home from serving in the Washington Tacoma Mission. Half way through my mission I got President Brown as my mission president. And ngl I was nervous to get a new president. I heard that he did a podcast but I had to wait until I was home before I could listen to it. Turns out he is a great mission president! He always cared about the one. He is full of love and compassion for every'one' and it changed the mission.

I was blessed to be part of Bishop Brown’s flock when he served. This man radiated compassion and empathy and love for all. Anytime he spoke we were all in rapt attention. He was a powerful bishop because he was vulnerable and loving and you never felt less-than in his presence. Bishop Brown truly showed the capacity of being Christ-like. My heart is especially full of gratitude for his wife. I don’t know her very well, but I know that Bishop Brown wouldn’t have been able to accomplish any of this if he didn’t have her stalwart companionship. I can’t even imagine the sacrifices she made that most will never know about. May God bless them and their family in their new adventures!

Can second this! He's got a special aura about him. Excited to see the fruits of his service in the Tacoma mission.

Great thoughts on this episode! I am a young men leader and this gave me some great ideas how to help the boys and other leaders. Thanks!

Those who are young single adults now are living in the best time of the church. There should be tremendous gratitude. Those who are older who chose to be honest and repent had to endure much more difficult judgments and harsh punishment and harsh treatment. There are a number of good people who faced severe consequences imposed by poor leadership who did not understand the Savior and thus inflicted heavy wounds on those labeled sinners who were already enduring heavy adversity and trial that proceeded their sins. The Lord in his mercy has helped newer leaders realize the folly of past leaders. Unfortunately the damage is done with hope sapped from otherwise good people who became more fully the label of sinner that was placed upon them. My heart hurts for those who only wanted healing but we're met with deeper wounds. And so they must wait until the next life to see if the Savior remembers them as others progress in happiness and peace. It makes me sad. We can do better. We must do better. Every soul has endless worth in the sight of God.

I LOVE the chapter of John 8 and how the Savior demonstrated the perfect way to deal with sin. He balanced mercy, love, and justice so well. Comforting and guiding the sinner while not condoning the sin. Kurt has done so well and learning from the Savior.

Did Kurt F say “holy hell”? XD 27:50

Hahahaha! That's a half-muttered Utah-accent "holy cow". 😂😝
