S3E6 | But If Not ... | Elder Dennis E. Simmons | Andrea and Marsha

from Your Average Saint · host Andrea and Marsha

On today’s episode, we discuss the General Conference talk “But If Not…” by Elder Denis E. Simmons. We explore how trials are often necessary for our personal growth and how they can strengthen our faith in the Lord.Elder Simmons references the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, where Paul teaches that Christ’s strength is made perfect in our weakness:“Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me… for when I am weak, then am I strong.”Elder Simmons reminds us, “Faith is believing that although we do not understand all things, He does. Faith is knowing that although our power is limited, His is not. Faith in Jesus Christ consists of complete reliance on Him.”Throughout the episode, we share personal experiences of learning to rely on the Lord, trusting His timing, and exercising faith even when answers don’t come right away.
