Sacred Struggle

As we’ve gotten to know her over the past few years, we’ve noticed that Melissa Inouye, in any group, has a remarkable way of reorienting a conversation. She tends to be the one with the eyes to see “the least of these.” She has a profound and sincere empathy for those who are in deep struggle, those on the edges, the marginalized, the looked-over, the passed-by. When these people and their difficulties are invisible to others, she gently call others’ attention to them as well.

Hebrews 7–13

In this episode we'll talk about Hebrews chapters seven through thirteen. I love these chapters because they teach powerful lessons about how to endure trials. We'll talk about the basic doctrine that trials are an important part of life. In Hebrews 11, Paul reviews many of the trials faced by faithful persons. He teaches how we can learn from their examples and have hope for a better future. We'll talk about how the doctrine of hope is important in better understanding and enduring our mental and emotional trials. We'll also review how the Savior's understanding and power are sufficient to help us through any difficulty. Here is the link to Elder Holland's talk: ⁠An High Priest of Good Things To Come⁠.
