Episode notes

Worship should be filled with joy and thanksgiving, as seen through the perspective of Ammon's experience in Alma 26:35, highlighting reasons to rejoice in God’s immense power and mercy. The gospel promotes joy and happiness, and it’s important to avoid postponing happiness while awaiting future events or achievements. Worship and expressions of faith should not feel burdensome or like a martyrdom. Instead, the institution of the church aims to enrich present life with sweetness and contentment, emphasizing that today is integral to eternity. Understanding God’s cheerful and lively nature fosters our joy in worship. The essence of God’s attributes mirrors a joyful spirit in our lives, encouraging us to connect with Him deeply and embrace the joy found in our worship practices.

What are we fighting for? Dr. David Boren explores what makes a righteous leader and how to have joy amidst spiritual and physical battles and how the Book of Mormon arms readers to fight against unrighteousness.
