As we have the opportunity to show the love of our Savior to those to whom we've been assigned

and those that we have not been assigned to, we are ministering in the Savior's way.

And when we think about it as what would he have us do or say, we are ministering in the Savior's way. And when we think about it as

what would he have us do or say, it gives us an expanded vision of what ministering ought to be,

what it ought to look like. But it need not be hard. We hope that it becomes second nature.

And to have confidence right now before God, that we can have confidence if we go to him and say,

who can I help today? How can I be your hands or your listening ears? How can I be your feet today?

He will hear and answer those prayers. And as we seek to have a ministering heart and mind, we can

have confidence before God. I'm sure of that, and I know it now.

This is Mary Richards, reporter at the Church News, welcome to the Church News podcast.

Today we are taking you on a journey of connection as we discuss news and events of the

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Savior Jesus Christ loved, taught, prayed for, comforted, and blessed those around him.

Disciples of Jesus Christ seek to minister to God's children and serve them as the Savior did.

Ministering assignments in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are made so that all members of the church are remembered

and cared for. It is also a vital way to help accomplish the work of salvation and exaltation.

This episode of the Church News podcast is all about ministering, how we can grow in our confidence

before the Lord and become more like him as we fulfill these assignments.

Joining me are Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson and elder Robert M. Daines,

a general authority 70, who is assigned to the church's priesthood and family department.

Welcome both of you to the church news podcast.

Thanks, Mary. Nice to be here with you.
