    But If Not

    We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail! What if you knew God had the power to save you but He didn't? Would you still trust Him? 🔥 That's the kind of faith we're talking about this week! This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into seven action-packed chapters of Daniel, filled with fiery furnaces, lions' dens, mysterious messages, and incredible examples of courage. But at the heart of it all is one powerful lesson: True faith means trusting God, even when things don't turn out the way we hoped. In this episode, you'll learn: 🥦 How Daniel's obedience to God's commandments brought blessings and what that teaches us about living the Word of Wisdom today 🔥 Why Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego's declaration of "but if not" is one of the greatest examples of unwavering faith in scripture 🦁 How Daniel remained faithful in the face of opposition and what his courage teaches us about standing firm in our beliefs God has the power to deliver us from our challenges, but faith isn't about guaranteeing the outcome we want. It's about knowing we can trust Him no matter what happens. So here's your challenge: Read Elder Dennis E. Simmons's talk But If Not… and ask yourself, "Am I willing to follow God even when the answer isn't what I hoped for?" Then choose to stand like Daniel, trust like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and keep your faith firmly rooted in Jesus Christ. He can deliver us. But if not… will we still believe? ❤️🔥  🎉 We'd love to hear if you're enjoying the bonus episodes about the For the Strength of Youth guide. Let us know!
