Brock helped us better understand Elder Johnson's accounting analogy to reconcile ourselves to God. We also went deeper into Elder Johnson's cherry shaker metaphor to better understand how to become "unshaken." This episode touches on daily repentance, reconciling with God, strengthening our faith, getting out of stagnation, helping others grow, and much more.
