Episode notes
Mantle of Priesthood Authority
- Priesthood callings grant the authority to perform spiritual miracles specific to the calling.
- This authority passes like a "mantle" that empowers faithful service in the church.
Councils vs Meetings
- Church councils are distinct from meetings, focusing on righteous action and revelation.
- They promote collaborative decision-making and spiritual progress, not just information sharing.
Accepting Feedback in Councils
- Leaders should create safe spaces for council members to share honest feedback.
- Prepare yourself with humility and good humor to receive constructive criticism without defensiveness.
