Hi there, my friends. My name is Hank Smith. I'm the host of a podcast called Follow Him. I'm here with my co host each week. We do a little clip called Follow Him favorites where we just pick one piece of the lesson to talk about and the lesson this week is on section 71 through 75 little sections, but a lot to choose from.

So John, what is your follow him favorite this week?

Oh, this is hard to choose. We talked about so many wonderful things today, but I'm just going to start with section 71 and in the little italicized part before the synopsis. It says the brother and order to go forth to preach in order to a lay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the church as a result of publication of letters written by Ezra booth who had apostatized.

And I love what the Lord tells him to do in verse one is expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming what you're wrong. I'm going to argue with you. Here's the bullet points of why you're no just teach the gospel proclaiming my gospel. What does gospel mean? It's the good news.

It's the glad tidings just open your mouth and tell them the good news. And then I love what it says at the end in verse nine. There's no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper.

If any man left his voice against you, he shall be confounded in my non-do time. So you just preach the good news. You tell people why you're so happy and how it works for you and be at peace with the rest.

And don't worry. I know I can. I you know that I'm a pretty passionate guy sometimes and I can find myself. Well, I'm going to go point by point on why you're wrong and aren't right. And I can tell you when those things have happened, I've never felt good afterwards. I've never said, oh, that was a good thing to do.

I can feel the Lord going, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, I want you to just teach the gospel just proclaim the gospel that's focused on Christ and the good news. It's a repentance baptism and the ghost.

Yeah. Mine actually comes from section 71 as well. So if you want to you're going to have to come to the podcast. If you want to come to these other sections.

Yes, because mine, I like verse two, he tells Joseph Smith and Sydney Joseph Smith and Sydney Righton, he wants them to go preach the gospel pro claim it. He says are in the regions round about.

And in the church also.

And sometimes we get the idea that missionary work is only dealing with people who aren't members of the church. When missionary work, if you're dealing with, we're going to go find some people who haven't come to church in a long time, we're going to go find them and try to and try to reactivate them right into the church.

That is missionary work. That is missionary work. If you're going to just help your family learn the gospel, that is missionary work. So you can do missionary work in the church. You should never feel bad. If you're serving a mission or go on a mission, you're like, well, all I'm doing is working with members of the church.

That's verse two, you can proclaim the gospel in the church. Awesome. Yeah, I just think we need to wait. Just because it's not a baptism or a number. That's that has nothing to do with how successful you are as missionary.

Oh, Hank reminds me of President Nelson anytime you do anything that helps anyone on either side of the veil even just come closer to taking those other steps. You're helping to gather Israel. So in the church in the regions round about or across the world.

Beautiful.

Well, we hope you join us on our podcast. It's called Follow Him. You can find it wherever you get your podcast.
