Things As They Really Are | David A. Bednar | 2009 

Totally agree!

14 years ago! And here we are, at the dawn (supposedly) of the metaverse....

Same here!

That’s what I’m saying! I love it!

This is so true ❤ I will always treasure this talk for my life even though I was 3 when it was given

We impart the word without money and without price. And oh how sweet it is.

Amen

That's so incredibly wrong. No one can replace a counselor, let alone a psychiatrist. Apostles and Prophets are the spiritual leaders in this Church, they are not doctors and can not replace the medical help of qualified professionals.

I agree to an extent. Life altering bodily disabilities is traumatic. That takes therapy

💯 correct I’ve been thinking the same thing for about 20 years And I love it and I need it !!! Ty for mentioning that It shows how much human beings intrinsically share this spiritual journey in a physically body 😊

He was my 15th and he went to number 1 after seeing his QnA

What an incredible testimony!!

We also were able to listen to a talk of his when our daughter attended BYU-I. My husband and I both strongly felt he would become an apostle one day. Like you, about six months later, he was called to be an apostle. What a fine man he is.

Elder Bednar brings out that very issue why many people fall through the sifter. I see several issues in my life I have to correct. What a powerful talk.

Amen, Good insights. Hugs and prayers 🙏

Even more relevant today than in 2012. A modern classic discourse.

This was given in 2009!!!! It's crazy how long ago, yet how recent it feels.

No expiration date for truth from god.

Totally; our bodies are gifts from God! Thanks for watching!

Thankfully, as mentioned in the speech, there must be opposition in all things (positive uses of technology and negative uses of technology)

Thank for sharing your story

I'm so sorry to hear how this has played out for you. What a testimony you share with personal experience! I pray you consider serving a full-time mission soon, if you aren't already. It's the best way to bring you back into the real world, meet and make lasting friendships, or at the least help you relearn and re-experiance learning how to and gaining lasting friendships.

@@LisaPFrampton im actually in that deciding stage now. im excited to serve for 18 months. :D

@@sheralynmadsen9975 no problem at all. :)

He is an apostle of the Lord ok

Bursting out crying is different then getting choked up when the spirit touches your heart. When you speak and the spirit touches your heart, this is the greatest teaching moment because it touches the heart of those who heirs these great words, that will pierce the heart with power, joy and Truth all at the same time. Now once you have felt truth you can never deny it.

Elder Bednar

Bless your heart. I had to divorce a husband and it was so difficult but the Lord blessed us though at the time I could not see it because the pain was so great.

When our marriage is falling apart, so many decisions can creep in. Staying focused on the gospel principles will help tremendously. Stay away from Blaine. This is the time we seem to always look back on this journey of marriage after it has become a problem. How many red flags we ignored and didn't see because of our blindness. It takes both parties to recognize these red flags and be willing to pray for guidance and correct them before it's too late. Number 1 stay away from judging. First comes disappointment of your spouse and then anger, then hatred. Number 2 repentance is the key to happiness. Repentance will open up a new opportunity for you to be strengthened by the mighty hand of the Lord. Just be careful, when you speak to people, use your words carefully, so you do not cause someone else to judge and condemn your spouse and that goes for the children also. You don't want someone to have to repent for the words you have spoken and anger . When advice is given , do it with a prayer and discernment . Staying close to the Lord and listening to Elder Bednar speak, it sure helps. A word of caution, when you come to the point of being overwhelmed, and you will. Most importantly this is the time you consume yourself in Humble prayer. We seem to think we can do it all ourselves, don't lie to yourself. Call up pond your gracious Heavenly Father for help. You have done everything in your power to make things right and I cannot do it anymore. I need your gracious hand to take this load from me, I can't do it anymore. Please take this load, for my Lord said, his yoke is easy. I am willing to hand everything over to you, just lead and guide me with your wisdom. And whatever else you want to say, in the name of Jesus Christ. Knowing in your heart, it will now all be taken care of with no doubt. I have a testimony of this I speak about. Be grateful you have this learning experience. Keep a prayer in your heart at all times during the day. Like the Lord said, love one another as I have loved you! Thank you for sharing.

It is great to have the leadership inspiring us to hang onto the rod everyday, even in desperate things of the world always trying to intertwined with our everyday activity.
