I’m not exaggerating even a little bit when I say that Mosiah 4:9 changed my life. Let’s study it together today!
In this episode we’ll talk about Mosiah chapters four through six. These readings are the conclusion to King Benjamin’s final remarks to his people. They teach, among other things, about the power of persistence. We’ll discuss how the people received a remission of sins and wanted to continue to feel that way. We’ll review principles that teach about the value of continual striving. We’ll talk about how failure is a necessary and expected event in all personal change. We’ll also review how being aware of our thoughts, words, and actions is critical to long-term change.
