[MsEva]

[patricklauder]

I base all my Come Follow Me Sunday School lessons on your podcasts. They are always so intelligent, enlightening and uplifting! I hope you never stop doing them. (Even if Mike is not a Heartland guy, ...😉)

You guys have been a real blessing to listen to along with my reading. Was baptized on Aug 17th and trying to learn all I can.

Awesome lesson. Love it. Just got thinking about the law of chastity, teen agers, middle aged, and extra marital affairs.

Even things that are not dangerous can be. I know someone that traded family and testimony for fishing. Fishing was his secret combination.

Cell phone addiction is to close to home, if you tried to convince me 25 years ago that I’d need a cell phone which would cost me $$$ a month I never would’ve signed up.

[dinocollins]

Warbreaker is incredible. I’m a huge Sanderson fan haha 😂

[kevinbell]

I really like your stuff. I wish that you would occasionally take live questions like do.

For example, if someone had greatly offended my family years ago, how do I forget?

[laramccully]

Can someone please tell me what a “light word” is?
You used it in your Helaman 1-6 video (and I have heard you use it before). I have tried to search it but to no avail. I assume it’s either exclusively LDS or Google can’t sell me anything… so it doesn’t try hard to find it.😂

What about the pharmaceutical and medical industry. Give money for the rest of your life as you get sicker and they get richer.

And what happens when the seers don’t see through the secret combinations? I’m trying to understand it.

[lauries.nicewaner]

I can't help thinking of big Pharma.
