+ a recent quote from an apostle
Servants of the Lord throughout time have accomplished remarkable things because of their faith in Jesus Christ—not because they were powerful, but because they trusted God and His power. … Faith produces miracles. This … means that we trust God enough to take action. Having faith in Jesus Christ means relying completely on Him—trusting in His infinite power, intelligence, and love.

1 teaching from the prophet
This is a question we wrestle with all of our life. It's well to remember that the scriptures teach us that inspiration comes in the still, small voice. It doesn't come in the urgent impulses of doing what we want to do and reaching out in bias for a confirmation to our personal opinion. I have found it helpful to use that test of bias when I'm trying to sort out the difference between a desire to be confirmed in what I want to do already and what the Lord may want me to do. And if I get an impression to do something I don't want to do, I think that's a lot more authentic than to get or to report an impression that I've been confirmed in what I wanted to do anyway.

Want to Advertise with or Sponsor GCA?
Reply to this email and we'll see whether it's a good fit. Clay and Mitch are volunteers dedicated to creating free, faith-building content. It's a labor of love that we treat like a missionary calling, but expenses and the time commitment add up. We've got BIG ideas for increasing our reach, improving video quality, and creating useful products for busy Latter-day Saints.
If you, someone you know, or an organization you're aware of are interested in supporting GCA and helping us grow, please email us. We'd love to talk!
