Tia SmithHOST
And when you feel within that spirit, you get used to it and you understand it and you grow into it to the degree that Joseph Smith did.
Tia SmithHOST
James E. Faust pointed this out.
Tia SmithHOST
The process of finding our ancestors one by one can be challenging, but also exciting and rewarding.
Tia SmithHOST
We often feel spiritual guidance as we go to the sources that identify them.
Wendy W. ReeseGUEST
That you'll do well in school this semester, that you'll find friends, that you'll pick a good major, that you'll survive a trip to the testing center, or that you'll learn who you are and what you can become.
Wendy W. ReeseGUEST
President James E. Faust said prayer is a lifeline.
Wendy W. ReeseGUEST
He taught each of us has problems we cannot solve and weaknesses we cannot conquer without reaching out through prayer to a higher source of strength.
Wendy W. ReeseGUEST
We are promised in the scriptures that when we reach out to the Lord in prayer, he will bring comfort and peace to our hearts.
ChadGUEST
Now, he was very close friends with a lot of leadership of the church.
ChadGUEST
We have photos down below where he had Gordon B. Hinckley, who was one of the presidents of the church, James E. Faust, Mitt Romney, who's friends with a lot of leadership of the church here in Utah, at his wedding.
ChadGUEST
And he was also a closeted gay man.
ChadGUEST
So... for a very religious community, obviously, you know, you're not going to prove you being gay.
ChadGUEST
But at the last minute, Gordon B. Hinckley announced what's known as the Family Proclamation to the World, which is basically the Mormon stance on gay marriage, saying that's wrong.
ChadGUEST
And Gordon B. Hinckley... publicly announces this the same day that his closeted gay friend, Gordon Bowen, is getting married.
ChadGUEST
And so James E. Faust is the one who ends up marrying Gordon Bowen, another member of the first presidency there.
ChadGUEST
So on the day that this famous Mormon document about gay marriage is released, their closeted gay friend is marrying Barbara Timothy, whose husband had died.

Coach PainSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Only we can control our appetites and passions.
Coach PainSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Self Mastery cannot be bought by money or fame.
Scott WoodwardHOST
And so I guess there's a tell, right? If you feel like you need to rise up and fulfill some prophecy, but the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve are not the ones leading that charge, you know, that should be enough to cause some pause, right?
Casey GriffithsHOST
I remember this classic quote from James E. Faust, who was in the first presidency, where he said, a fanatic is someone who does what they think God would do if he had all the facts.
Casey GriffithsHOST
So basically, like, yeah, you're jumping the gun here.
Casey GriffithsHOST
You're trying to force an interpretation of prophecy that isn't there.
Wendy Watson NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's so much power available for a couple and for their children through that sealing ordinance when we keep our covenants.
Russell M. NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
President James E. Faust once said, Mercy will not rob justice, and the sealing power of faithful parents will only claim wayward children upon the condition of their repentance and Christ's atonement.
Wendy Watson NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So no one is going to take anyone kicking and screaming into the celestial kingdom to live forever.
Russell M. NelsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
No.
