Episode notes

Elder Oaks gave a talk called The Challenge to Become in October of 2000. Elder Holland finishes with his concern is for the faith at which you finally arrive, not the hour of the day in which you got there. This parable teaches us that we should never give up hope and loving associations with family members and friends whose fine qualities evidence their progress toward what a loving father would have them become.

Dr. Matt Townsend continues to discuss faith, the Laborers in the Vineyard, and trusting in God’s mercy.
