The insight from the snip highlights the concept of having two witnesses in faith - the prophet who speaks at general conference represents a macro witness, while neighbors who share their beliefs in fast and testimony meeting represent micro witnesses. This dual testimony structure mirrors the story of Alma and Amulek from the scriptures, illustrating the importance of both public and personal affirmations of faith.
How can we teach the hard hearted? According to Dr. Daniel Sharp, Alma and Amulek proclaim the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the wicked in Ammonihah while teaching the power of prayer, missionary work, and the reality of angels.
