Astounded that this gentlemens talk effects me and speaks to me. I m Lutheran. Grandparents and stepdad were indepentibly self sufficient. God Bless us all.
With only 10% of US Church membership having a year’s supply and only 3% of membership internationally, I wonder how many members have truly “heard” this message.
God bless you sister. Ezra Taft Benson was an American farmer, government official, and religious leader who served as the 15th United States Secretary of Agriculture during both presidential terms of Dwight D. Eisenhower and as the 13th president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1985 until his death in 1994
Wow. If I had ever heard this talk before, I DO NOT hear it the same now. There are words in this talk that if they were in print would be jumping off the page and poking me in the eye. This talk is gold for anyone living in April 2023.

Don't know what your story is or where you are in life, but no matter, I strongly encourage you to come back. I've recommitted to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and I'm genuinely the happiest I've ever been, even with my weaknesses and difficulties. Every member is needed. Remember how much He loves you 🙏❤

As a German Immigrant a Protest Lutheran. I whole Harding's agree with Him. I read that there is secret operations right now in place for America. To actually re write the constitution. To actually degrees the government. To shut down the Dept of DOJ, FBI, CIA, and other things at work. Trump already announced he will do another Jan 6, 2025. Until he has accomplished what needs to be done. God is all I can say. America wake up. I can feel the power struggle. I m nervous. But we have prepared. The only worries is how fast our mortgage can be paid. God Bless you all.
