Episode notes

President Oaks used this story as the beginning of a very famous talk he gave called Good Better Best. He talks about it is praiseworthy for Martha to be careful and troubled about many things, but learning the gospel from the master teacher was more needful. And then he goes on to talk about how we have to make decisions in life between good and better and best.

Dr. Krystal Pierce reflects upon the parable of the Good Samaritan and its many meanings and applications.
