Episode notes
Real Life Comes From Cultivated Joy
- Real life is a response to the best within us, so joy comes from goodness, kindness, poetry, music, and stars, not just appetite or money.
- David Butler and Stephan Taeger quote David O. McKay saying cultivating beauty points us to the source of all light and enables present experience of eternal life.
Expect God To Persistently Pursue You
- Don't treat God as your opponent; expect him to coach, guide, heal, and persistently pursue you even when you stumble or resist.
- David Butler and Stephan Taeger cite Dieter F. Uchtdorf: God won't remove all obstacles or lower standards, but he never gives up on you.
Tender Love Invites True Change
- Cross-like, self-sacrificial love is the most powerful force to invite people to forsake sin; tenderness breaks down resistance.
- Joseph Smith's phrasing emphasizes watching others with tenderness and taking them by the hand as the pathway to change.
