Hey everybody, before we get started, I just wanted to tell you about a new book from Faith Matters

Publishing. It's called Restoration by Patrick Mason. When we started the Faith Matters Publishing

project, one of our goals was to explore what restoration really means as the church moves into

its third century. And that's exactly what Patrick does. If you're like me and you've ever wondered

how restoring Israel can be relevant to you, you've got to read this book. Patrick shows how as

members of the church, it's our mission to truly lead out in bringing wholeness and healing to

the marginalized and the vulnerable. This book absolutely lit a fire for me and it has

totally changed the way I view my own engagement with the church and with the world. I really can't

recommend this book strongly enough. It's the kind of book you want everyone you know to be reading

to so that you can talk about it. So you can pick up a copy for yourself or for your friends and

family at Desert Book, Amazon, Audible, and Apple Books. Okay, that's it on the book for now,

but we'll be sharing a lot more in the near future. Thanks as always and here's the episode.

Hey everybody, this is Aubrey Chavez from Faith Matters. This is part two of our last episode on

President Down Oaks's recent conference address where he spoke passionately about the U.S. Constitution

and ended with an urgent admonition to end political tribalism and division. We collaborated in

this episode with Kurt Frankham of Leading Saints, which is a remarkable organization that helps

Latter Day Saints be better prepared to lead. In this conversation Thomas Griffith, Kurt Frankham

and Bill Turnbull explore how we can have a conversation about President Oaks's challenge in our

local words and stakes and how to ensure that we live up to that challenge. Our guest Thomas Griffith

has a broad experience in both church leadership and public service. He has served as the chief

counsel for both the U.S. Senate and Brigham Young University and was appointed to a judgeship by

George W. Bush on the DC Court of Appeals from which he recently retired. He now practices law
