How is your study of the Book of Mormon going post-mission? How has the Book of Mormon helped you draw closer to Jesus Christ? Have you shared the Book of Mormon with someone lately?

They conclude with an invitation to help flood the earth by sharing the Book of Mormon with others.

Join us for part 2 of our conversation with Gary Little and Ryan Bennett about the Divine Gift of Forgiveness. Learn how to overcome the bullies of fear and pride through uncompromising honesty and embracing our three friends on the path of repentance- Godly sorrow, a broken heart, and a contrite spirit. Using the story of Adam and Eve we discuss the difference between "fig leaf" repentance and "coat of skin" repentance. As we let the Lord cover us through his Divine Gift we will receive peace and joy and join what Brian calls the Hall of Fame of repenters- The Celestial Kingdom.

Many returned missionaries feel frustrated that they don't have a chance to minister daily to people like they did on their missions. Actually, they do!

Morgan and Jenny Fife (Bishop, Attorney, Parents, Disciples of Christ) talk about how Christ like ministering can be found at the intersection of the two great commandments. Rather than feeling like a duty or chore, ministering can be a source of great joy for both the minister and the person being served. It's all about developing relationships and loving others as the Savior would. Tune in for great tips on how to take your ministering to the next level!
