Where Are You Going For Answers?



47 Episode – Where Are You Going For Answers?

When you have a question or need advice or are trying to make a decision, who do you talk to? What people are at the top of your list? Family, close friends, a social media group? What about Heavenly Father? Is He the first person you turn to, or is He more of a last resort? There are examples in the scriptures of people who turned to Him first, and people who turned to Him only out of desperation, or not at all. And there is a definite difference for how things worked out for those people.

Scripture References

1 Nephi 15:8
Mosiah 17:11-12

Going to the Source of Truth



13 Episode – Going to the Source of Truth

When I have a question, why do I wait to ask God as a last resort? What can happen when I listen to all the other voices in the world? See what happened to Laman and Lemuel, the Zoramites, and King Noah when they listened to people instead of seeking answers from God.

Listening to others:

Zoramites consulting together – Alma 35:3

Nephi’s Brothers consulting together – 1 Nephi 15:1-9

King Noah listening to his priests – Mosiah 17:11-12

Listening to God:

Nephi asking to see the Tree of Life – 1 Nephi 10:17-22, 11:1

Nephi building a boat, little by little – 1 Nephi 18:1-4
