Episode notes

Elder Oaks said it better than I can. He says, this process of conversion or becoming who we need to be requires far more than acquiring knowledge. So testimony and obedience are means by which we accomplish this change that God wants to affect in us. They're not the end goal. It's intended to get us to a point beyond itself. What do you think are the dangers in assuming testimony and obedience at the end goal of discipleship? Maybe one day we'll have a reason, but maybe we won't.

Dr. Becerra continues to examine what the miracles of Jesus continue to teach modern disciples and explores the danger of assuming testimony is an end goal.
