I never write much on videos, but a week or so ago I felt I should write you, but being selfish (with my time) I didn't. I had hit a slight patch of down. In the middle of the night, I happened on a video in your series and ended up watching 5 or 6 of them again. I can't tell you how much they helped me. Comfort. Hope. This one was powerful. Helped me with an answer I'd been looking for. Thank you for your time. Please don't stop.
Jesus came to this earth as God in the flesh to reconcile sinful humans back to a Holy, righteous, just, perfect creator. He lived a sinless life, fulfilling the law and commandments in human flesh, then willingly died on the cross as the propitiation and atonement for the sins of the entire world. He resurrected on the third day, defeating sin and death on behalf of all who will receive Him. Seek Truth with all of your heart and you will find Him. "I AM the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me" Jesus Christ
Thanks Cindy for sharing your thoughts, I too have had questions. Every single human well always have questions. If there is no questions there is no learning. That means you're stuck. And CiC's statement clarifies many questions also.
I've been studying joy and also taking up our cross and following Him. Taking up our cross is like (what Paul said), I.die.everyday. (self be gone) When we do that and surrender to His will, we live with Him and for Him and all the (accomplishments) are glory to Him. You can't boast! Our battles of being offended or troubled are far less as well. In comes the fruits of the Spirit of joy, peace, and at.one.ment. His ways are incredible and merciful. I've been trying to die everyday for Him and realize that all righteousness, truth, and all that I need He holds. I am nothing, nothing without Him 🤍 It truly is rest!
Your story reminds me of a family fishing trip we went on out on a boat and my three little boys had these tiny kid like fishing poles and us adults had huge ocean rods for deep sea fishing. My boys were catching huge fish while we weren’t as successful. We were all stunned and just laughing.
Bro. Kevin, these are the best made lessons l have ever heard. I wish you lived in Arizona near my son and his wife who have let their commitment to the Gospel fade away. I wish you could teach them across a fence, etc. I have a hard time remembering how you say things. I send them your excellent videos, but you know that old line, you can't make a horse drink. Sigh. Keep filling you role as our teacher, and we will ever bless you for your inspired work. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video, I did listen to the others first. This however was and answer to my prayers. I've been striving to become selfless for awhile now. I happened to find you in my desire to spend more time listening to uplifting content. So thanks again for your time and talents that have provided me some much needed content. It's a real blessing that these stay on TH-cam so we can listen to them when the Lord sends us.
It’s always a good day when you upload. Love hearing what you have to say: thank you for this I’m finally interested in studying the gospel for myself, and you’ve absolutely helped with it. I don’t do it a lot, but it’s a start
I’m in cybersecurity also; working within a soul destroying cesspool “25hrs” a day (for >20yrs) … it humbles me to watch your videos - now in a new light, brother - I have no idea from where you get your time and talent (and testimony) to produce these presentations/lessons while working in cybersec capacities too … but thank you, very kindly for driving so hard/ so well, to teach (people like me). I’m grateful for your labors and witness - cheers sir.
I apprecite the basic doctrine videos such as those on repentence. That is what affects my daily life more than what will happen on Earthj after I am gone. Thank you for sharing your understanding of the Gospel with us.
I thank you for your service of making these videos. I have watched them all more than once. I feel they have helped clarify things I know and help know the true value of what this”stuff” is. I’m with the rest in asking you to keep doing these. Thank you so very much.

I am glad I found your channel some months ago. Like many of your viewers I very much appreciate your efforts in producing these videos. This one particularly touched me because I realize just how much I have stubbornly held on to my selfishness. Thank you for this selfless service you are providing for all the right reasons.
Wow!!! Your story resonated with me so so much! I seriously have the exact same story I’ve shared many times. I grew up with a single mother. Friends and family took me fishing and I was so embarrassed about my fishing pole and lack of knowledge! Every time I went I felt like I was doing everything right, but I always struggled when everyone else had success. Even using others pole and lures! I got teased for being so bad 😂. I got better though. Has a happy ending ha. But thanks for the video/story. Really really resonated!
I just want to say thank you for your insights and these videos you delivered them and teach them in such a way that they make sense I truly appreciate all your hard work thank you very much for your time and your selflessness in producing these videos I always leave a better person
Thank you for this videos. You make it much more easier to understand, and a deeper meaning to every subject you explain. I really appreciate your time and effort . This lessons is edifying. 🙏 Greetings from South Africa.
Thank you I learn a great deal from your videos. I am a psychotherapist so spend a lot of time on myself and in my work with clients, in trying to "become". Overcoming that natural man that causes so many problems. I have just read Herman Hesse book "Siddhartha" which is all about the journey from knowledge to becoming. Lots of very interesting parallels between the gospel and Hindu teaching. They too had the gospel as well in ancient times.
I believe I have viewed all your videos and I love the information and promptings that accompany them. I really loved the statement (paraphrased) you can identify a sin if it leads to self gratification. I never thought of it like that, but it just makes sense. Keep up the good work.
I want to point out something that is confused with selfishness. Loving self is important. If we don't love ourself we don't know how to love others and understand others. If we can't take care of ourself we cannot take care of others. Self in a sense comes first but is not the end. It is only the beginning.
It's my thought that members pull themselves up short because in "ever learning" they haven't taken the final step of gaining a testimony of the GOSPEL OF TRUTH. In my case I received a testimony of the Book of Mormon. One I can't deny. There are steps to take in gaining that testimony. Missionaries teach it right from the beginning and it's not that hard, other than the part where you have to be sincere and ask with pure intent. I'd love to get together with you one day and discuss other truths I've come across in this life's journey. Aloha
You are right gaining a testimony and Truth is extremely important. I too have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and also the work of Joseph Smith making the way possible for us to learn these great principles with the Lord's help. In these last days we will need a very strong testimony in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the church. The church of Jesus Christ provides us with the tools and answers we need to progress more and more in this life. I love it. I have found once you know truth you can never deny it.
I don't know about others, but I found the signs of the second coming videos interesting because it deals with future events that could effect me and my family's temporal welfare and put things in order. Becoming like Christ though I've felt I should focus on scriptures and words of modern prophets. No offense, but I don't know you from Adam, but I think I'll go back and give this series a try.
I'm sorry I cannot agree, change is exciting and challenging. I have to change constantly because I see, no change is boring. Routine is boring also. I could never be a Cow or a elephant walking behind each other in a trail. If someone has to pass me up that's great. If I have to pass someone else up and leave them behind because they don't want change, too bad so sad. Come on, once you can change all the time it becomes the norm. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a constant change from hell to happiness and joy. Routine is like dragging a chain ball on both my legs. Routine sooner or later we'll bring boredom and even depression.
I want to thank you for your video! I read your about:-) I, like you desire to become a true disciple of JESUS CHRIST and since I am a auditory and visual learner, I prefer video to supplement my learning! My preference is video, then audio, the text. But, all this learning and studying is not complete unless one has a group of associations that in the Book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill of a Master Mind Group of 12 to discuss and share ideas to become like a council to grow in the knowledge and skills of whatever this group is doing. In this case, I thought, I wish you were my neighbor or close to me so I can have discussions with you or a group about ALL aspects of learning and especially practicing to become true disciples of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Redeemer, Our God and Master to love and truly serve as we endure to the end. Thank you for sharing your talents in expounding the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ‼️❤️🙏🏽 I would love to connect should the Lord have are path cross! My favorite scriptures although many are: proverbs 3:5,6 Romans 8:28 Mosiah 2:22-24 and 41 Moroni 10:32 John 14:26 John 17:3 Moses 1:39 D&C 50:29 3 Nephi 8:1 D&C 52:13-19 D&C 84:33-44 D&C 82:10 D&C 121:43-46 My personal testimony can be found on Macavinta.com as well as my personal value statement. Thank you! I have digested a lot of your video presentation:-) I have also downloaded your Gospel Lessons app on iPhone. I am ALL IN in building UP God’s kingdom as I abide by ALL Our Father in Heaven’s commandments and making and keeping sacred the Temple Covenants I have made with my eternal companion and our three amazing children! I know as we truly follow the Lord Jesus Christ in his teachings, his life, example, and truly do what he had done as recorded being in complete compliance with the TWO Greatest Commandments, John 14:26 will come to pass, as we repent daily, Offer continually a broken heart and a contrite spirit, seeking and praying for wisdom and humility as our Savior, we will and can have the lovely scripture 2 Nephi 31:20 come to pass! Thank you my beloved brother in Christ who teaches 11 year old primary children. Train them up in their youth.., With FAITH in Every Footsteps… In the name of him who loved us first❤️🙏🏽‼️ Even the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen 🙏🏽
I enjoyed your video, Brother. You touched on several key topics that are extremely important to the world! Too, might you direct me to where I can purchase the photo with the Saviour with his hand extended toward the viewer? Thank you again, C. R. R. M. Kimball
The scriptures do not teach that we should become as selfless as we can before we leave this earth; that is not what I would call a mighty change. We are to seek the ordinances of salvation and keep seeking them: baptism of water, temple ordinances, baptism of fire (being born of the spirit), having our calling and election made sure (entering into the rest of the Lord), the second anointing and the second comforter (seeing Him). All of these are part of the Doctrine of Christ that is plainly spelled out in the scriptures (2 Nephi 31:all - 2 Nephi 32:6). Only through the power of Christ can we become a new creature and rise up moving from grace to grace through the power of Christ (D&C 93:11.12). Once we receive this great event, sin will be the farthest thing from our minds, like King Benjamins people, "we have not more desire to do evil, but to do good continually (Mosiah 5:2). That is how we get to this point, not by trying REALLY, REALLY hard. We DO NOT do it; Christ does it! Seek the Savior and do not think that you just need to work really hard to become holy, that does not work: That is why you are so frustrated, because you are seeking for the wrong things, and you are told just to "endure to the end" - this is not what the scriptures teach.

Those are the people that leaves themselves out of the loop of living the gospel. In this world of the falling man, you will always have to force yourself to read scriptures and study the Gospel of Jesus Christ even go to church. The only thing that motivates you is your testimony to keep reaching for more answers . The more effort you put into learning about our savior the more you will receive. We have many tools of Glory at our fingertips, if we don't use them we go nowhere. I don't believe anyone can say, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a lazy Church.
Frankly, these are like a Sunday School lesson that is actually geared toward adults, and not 4th graders. He deserves kudos
Please never stop making these. They mean so much to me and so many others.

Please do not worry - everything we do at this point is right doing God's work and fighting the good fight 😊

Great video and lesson. Thank you!
I truly enjoy your videos. Interestingly I had just watched Pes Benson Conf talk titled "Beware of Pride" right before this one. In it, he felt
That pride was the one thing all sind had in common. Either way, it's safe to say that they both will keep us from Becoming. Thanks for all you do
I love your fishing story!

watching it because you made it. change is hard, in fact, i feel like i'm sliding back
You are right. Change is hard but your capacity to succeed increases every time you try. You're going to make it; I won't give up if you don't. ;)

The road to selflessness seems steep. I think maybe I'm a lost sheep.
Can you share where you got this picture of Christ?
But surely not all gratification is wrong, right? I take time out of my day to draw because it's gratifying for myself, right?
The scriptures do not teach that we should become as selfless as we can before we leave this earth; that is not what I would call a mighty change. We are to seek the ordinances of salvation and keep seeking them: baptism of water, temple ordinances, baptism of fire (being born of the spirit), having our calling and election made sure (entering into the rest of the Lord), the second anointing and the second comforter (seeing Him).
