Episode notes

When facing grievances regarding others, it is vital to bring those concerns directly to God rather than venting to others. Nephi exemplifies this approach by praying earnestly about the wickedness of his people instead of discussing it with his brother or others. Complaining to people often leads to unnecessary anger, division, and sin, as it fosters pride and negativity towards the offender. In contrast, addressing complaints through prayer invites divine perspective and love, creating a sense of peace and validation that surpasses any temporary comfort gained from gossip. This approach not only honors God but also strengthens one’s relationship with Him, emphasizing the importance of valuing charity and understanding over fleeting human validation.

What power comes to the Saints for remembering the words of the prophets? Professor Shima Baughman explores the sources of crime, its effects, and the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ to heal not only the victims but every soul.
