Elder Bednar teaches how covenants and ordinances help us progress along the covenant path and “heed not” what others say.

We love Elder Bednar! Today, I talk about his talk “But We Heeded Them Not.” Here’s a recap of questions to think about: “The combination of inspired lyrics and majestic melodies helps me to learn essential gospel principles and stirs my soul.” What hymns or other music do this for you? What mocking or scorn are you hearing? From friends, family...members of your ward, leaders...about promptings and answers you've received? "What helps you to “heed not” worldly influences, mocking, and scorn?" How do your covenants allow you to block out or stand up to the mocking and scorn in your life? What is the Lord telling you? What questions do you want to study further? Contact me! FB: General Conference Conversations IG: @generalconferenceonversations Email: genconfconvos@gmail.com

In April 2011, Elder David A. Bednar made an analogy in general conference of light switches and sunrises to personal revelation and receiving the Lord’s guidance in our lives. This landmark talk inspired Latter-day Saints everywhere in how they seek and recognize Heavenly Father’s presence in their lives. In the years since that address, Elder Bednar has spoken around the world about personal revelation. As he’s done so, he’s heard one question from Church members more than any other: “How do I know if it’s me or the Spirit?” In this week’s episode, we hear Elder Bednar’s answer to this question and discuss other thoughts related to the principles of revelation.  “You don’t have to do it all in one day—a little bit every day with God’s help.”  Show Notes:  1:42- Academic Learning Vs.

An educator by profession, Bednar was president of Brigham Young University-Idaho from 1997 to 2004.

In this episode, Todd, Alia and Rivka discuss the talk, "The Principles of My Gospel" by Elder David A. Bednar from the April 2021 General Conference.

Today's podcast is taken from an April 2005 General Conference address by Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Elder Bednar is known for his inspired insights, his love of gospel learning and teaching, and his ability and propensity to be quick to observe. In this address, Elder Bednar teaches that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and that the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us.

What is the difference between principles and doctrine? Elder Bednar addresses this as well as the benefits of incorporating the principles of the gospel into our lives.Music acknowledgmentsMusic: In Dulci Jubilo Michel Rondeau (trumpet)Performers: Marthe Jobidon (trumpets), Eric Vaillancourt & Steve Guerin (trombones)Publisher Info.Michel RondeauCopyright Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Misc.
