Christlike Attributes Mini Series: Faith- Rob "Bro" Leifson

In episode two of The One Podcast, we sit down with Robert Leifson — a seminary teacher with 36 years of experience — for a conversation that might completely reframe the way you think about faith.For most of his career, Robert taught faith the traditional way. Then a training with Elder David A. Bednar changed everything. He walked away with a new framework built on three elements — assurance, action, and evidence — and it transformed not just how he teaches, but how he lives.The idea is simple but powerful: faith isn't passive. It's not sitting back and hoping things work out. It's taking a step before you can see the outcome. The Israelites had to actually walk into the Jordan River before it parted. David picked up five stones before Goliath fell. Joseph Smith walked into the grove before God answered.Robert breaks down how this pattern shows up in every scripture story — and more importantly, how you can apply it to your own life right now.If you've ever felt like your faith was stuck, or wondered why you're not seeing the results you're praying for, this episode is worth your time.In this episode:Why Robert's understanding of faith completely changed after one training meetingThe three-part framework for understanding how faith actually worksBiblical examples that bring the pattern to life (David, the Israelites, Joseph Smith)The most common mistake people make when trying to exercise faithHow President Nelson's teachings on faith apply to everyday decisionsThe One Podcast explores faith, identity, and the choices that define us.
