David DollahiteGUEST
So just listening to Justin review some of the data, um, and as I have, you know, thought from a kind of a broad perspective what, um, some of these numbers say, I pulled out a, um, a few of the numbers, and I wanna make kind of a, um, a, an overall s- um, kind of a takeaway from that.

David DollahiteGUEST
Um, the study shows that Latter-day Saints tend to have high levels of spiritual peace, as Justin mentioned, and that Latter-day Saints tend to have high levels of family prayer and scripture study compared to our friends of other faiths.

David DollahiteGUEST
And that, um, one of the questions was asked, um, "Do you believe that human beings have a spirit or a soul?" Um, 98% of Latter-day Saint young people, 96% of Latter-day Saint older people said that they do.

David DollahiteGUEST
And then in one of the factors on those who, um, stayed, uh, faithful as opposed to those who chose to, to leave faith was feeling the presence of God on a regular basis.

David DollahiteGUEST
For me, all those together, uh, indicate that there's great power in experiencing God's presence, God's love, God's spirit, and that can come through a variety of ways, through reading scriptures, through prayer, through attending services.

I, I so appreciate you making, uh, helping us to see that this is real, that there is a struggle going on, and it's an extremely important struggle because the impact on the future is, is, is, is, is huge.
