The Average Saint podcast returns for season 3! This episode features Marsha and Andrea discussing the General Conference talk 'Choose Ye This Day' by Elder Dale G. Renlund, given in April 2018.

In this episode, we dive into Elder Richard G. Scott’s powerful General Conference talk, Make the Exercise of Faith Your First Priority, with our good friend Jon Lammers. Elder Scott teaches that when we prioritize faith, we set ourselves up for true success. He highlights essential tools for strengthening our faith: prayer, scripture study, family home evening, and temple attendance.

We also explore ways to help our children develop these habits and build a strong spiritual foundation. Jon shares a touching testimony of the blessings that come from regular temple attendance and the importance of making it a consistent part of our lives.

Elder Scott reminds us:
“I am not suggesting that all of life’s struggles will disappear as you do these things. We came to mortal life precisely to grow from trials and testing. Challenges help us become more like our Father in Heaven, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ makes it possible to endure those challenges.”

Join us as we discuss how to make faith our first priority and the peace and strength that come from doing so!

On today’s episode, Sydney McMillan joins us and we discuss the BYU devotional in God we trust by Robert E Wells.

Trusting in divine guidance, especially during challenging times, requires a deep sense of faith and humility. Believing that God communicates through His Spirit and through inspired leaders can bring peace and clarity when life feels overwhelming.

It’s important to seek confirmation through personal prayer and reflection, trusting that God’s answers will align with His love and wisdom. Even when the path ahead is unclear, faith can help us move forward with courage, knowing we are never truly alone.
