I was listening to a talk by Elder Holland that really had nothing to do with Christ Centered Conversations, however, The Spirit put thoughts in my mind about conversations and fruits of the spirit.

Balance
Elder Bednar spoke in a priesthood leadership meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina in February of 2016. He said something that I wasn’t sure I agreed with at first, “Balance is a false notion, you can only do one thing at one time”. He stated that by definition if we are at work, then we are…

God’s House on Earth
If you know me you know I have always had a special love for temples. I mean… when I say I love temples… I LOVE temples. For a very long time when I lived in Rexburg, Idaho and was attending school at BYUI I went to the temple every single week without fail to participate…

Deep In Our Hearts
Every week its really fun to see what topic is impressed upon my mind to write about. I will say that this week I asked Kevin and he mentioned that maybe I could discuss getting The Gospel of Jesus Christ “deep in our hearts”. Obviously I thought it was a GREAT idea so here we…
