S7E07: Pillars and Rays (feat. Brad McBride)

Conference Talk

Regular guest Brad McBride texted Matthew in the middle of Elder Dushku's talk a few weeks ago: "I call dibs on Elder Dushku." And boy was it a good call! We're talking about some of our own spiritual experiences, discussing how to recognize the Holy Ghost, and the importance of writing down your top 10 experiences for your own spiritual benefit. This was a great episode and Brad shared a powerful testimony!

And there are so many amazing resources we referenced for this talk, give it a listen!

"He that seeketh signs shall see signs, but not unto salvation." (D&C 63:7)

The Spirit of Revelation by Elder David A. Bednar

“A person may profit by noticing the first intimation of the spirit of revelation; for instance, when you feel pure intelligence flowing into you.” - Joseph Smith

“When a man has the manifestation from the Holy Ghost, it leaves an indelible impression on his soul, one that is not easily erased. It is Spirit speaking to spirit, and it comes with convincing force. A manifestation of an angel, or even of the Son of God himself, would impress the eye and mind, and eventually become dimmed, but the impressions of the Holy Ghost sink deeper into the soul and are more difficult to erase.” - Joseph Fielding Smith Jr.
