I understood his story about the missing $50.00 from the perspective of the receiver. My four children and I found ourselves deserted with no income and no job. We were reduced to digging in the car and furniture for change to get milk. I told Heavenly Father in prayer that I had done all I could do and I was leaving it in his hands. The next day there was an envelope in the mailbox with no message but a $100.00 bill inside. To this day, 4 decades later, I don't know who provided food and power to us that day but in my mind it was an Angel sending a miracle in answer to prayer. Never ignore a prompting from the Holy Ghost. You might be someone's angel from God.
Bro Wilcox came to my youth conference in Dallas back in the 80s. He left a tangible and spiritual impression that spoke to my soul that weekend. Love you still Bro Wilcox.
@janicetasker1854 I agree. On the rare occasions I'm ready to go. My ride left w/o thir phone and my messages and calls. Equally as goofy as it sounds, newly implemented callings and all I get off last mtg was 4 min of s blank screen with sudio. Just my luck i suppose. Akaso. The Ensign Channel is a definite standard for great script references and I recommend it to friends at times.
Im not 78 but 75 years old and agree with you Janice. Elder Bednar spoke at Snow college earlier this year. He told the students their he was having dinner with President Gordon B Hinkley and they were talking about the coming of the Lord. President Hinkley told him there was only 1 thing he did reget , that he would not be here to see the coming of the Lord but he [David] would. So it will be David Bednar and his generation that will see the coming of the Lord. I believe also it's why Elder Holland was admonished to return from the outer edges of eternity to give us a message of great urgency of what he and we need to be doing now.
I ran into Steven Covey by accident while working at a low paying job. He spent over an hour learning about me and then inspired me to do what i wanted to do and live more purposely....He had a way of making a person feel valued. Truly a legendary man! Sometimes i cant believe that story. 😂❤
My father and his siblings received great education because the church had built a school in the small Island from Tonga… Liahona HS..he and his siblings were able to further their education at BYU, Hawaii. His older sister received her masters degree and the rest recvd their BA. Sooo thankful that the church help push the importance of education in the small island of Tonga.
What a fantastic boost! I am homeschooling my 3 kids and this is exactly what I needed to hear at the start of this school year (when everything is awful and I’m the meanest mom ever for making them do math when there’s a lonely trampoline outside calling their names 😂)
Brad Wilcox is an amazing man. I love him because of how he treats people with mental problems. But, he's such a loving man and so spiritual man. Thank you for being a God loving man.
You have a wonderful gift Brother Wilcox. When you prayed and got your answer, the Savior endowed you with a gift to really reach the youth. No matter what age we are there is a bit of youth in all of us. May God bless you with great health to continue to reach out to all who will hear.
Thank You. I am 86 and a member for 54 years. This Church is True. I know it and have been the organists, off and on, depending on my callings. I love you brother.
THIS WAS PIVOTAL!!! Thank you Brother Wilcox and Ensign College. I was hooked at his initial story of Steven R Covey. I too have altruistic desires to put my resources or FUTURE resources to philanthropic use. I am now 39, married, have lots of kids. I am nearly 20 years older than most of his audience there. I see that I could have been doing this sooner. I know 39 is still young, so with rededication I will take the lessons learned and apply!
What a powerful talk, just what I needed to teach my youth at home your a special brother. I will be looking for your book. Thank you for a phenomenal message!!!🤍
Thank you Brother Wilcox! I've been listening to your talks and being encouraged by them, (and usually having a good chuckle), for a long time. You helped save me! 💕
❤ You Brother Brad! Thank your for messages like this to inspire, uplift, and motivate the youth (and us old folks too) to make the most of our Turn On Earth.
It's such a blessing to have the teachings of Jesus Christ, so that we can try to emulate him in trying to teach others charity, by showing our love for everyone! We can use our money to bless those around us, which we should do, but we don't need to be rich to bless people. We should take time to do community service, like working at a homeless shelter.
Grateful for a desire to attend Sacrament meeting today, trasher than stay home and watch it. The direct human interaction is so much more fulfilling than online. Electronic interaction is very useful, but I miss my friends in the ward.
Ainda bem que você é divertido Porque se não fosse cômico seria tragico. Muito obrigado por seu testemunho elder Wilcox e seu talentoso jeito de ensinar arrependimento aos jovens.
The book putting on Christ by Steven Bishop sheds, so much light on what it actually means to come unto Christ, and as well written can’t recommend that book enough!
@@King_PuffleumpBoth my son-in-law and grandson were there and it was definitely NOT “atrocious”. Both of them said the talk was totaling inspiring and they were totally shocked at how his words were twisted into something “bad”. Today there are so many people looking to turn a non-issue into an issue. So don’t believe the naysayers out there.
I'm going a little slow but I'm still going and trying to teach the youth some very important principles in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A little biology goes a long ways
An elder siste slipped a bank note into my hand. I was a young struggling mother. I never forgot how it felt. I love paying my tithe etc. It feels l am investing in others. It thrills me. That it is private, thrills me. 🇬🇧 15:36
Imagine if millions of people start requesting missionaries and baptisms. Next, they will want temple ordinances. That is why we are building so many. The temples will need to be open 24 hours a day.
My best is NOT good enough. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth and humbled Himself to become a man and give HIS life a ransom for my sin debt. God sees me IN CHRIST. He sees me as righteous because of Jesus. You can REST in HIS FINISHED work for you 😅
yup… the fear is understanding not going deep enough. The laws of thermodynamics are devastatingly neglected. Things taught in most schools dont go deep enough… people are too scared to see what is really going on…. We need to pray for sufficient desire…. life is so strange….
Not surprised but found the statistics about church members being more converted the more educated they become very enlightening. ❤️ Can you share the source, please?
Ubi Petrus ibi Ecclesia = Where Peter is there is the Church founded by Christ on the faith and ministry of St Peter. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church 🕊🙏
I just researched and styrofoam containers can contaminate food. Let us all be aware and give glory to God who gives us witness on a daily basis if we would ask
Big fan … just Covey while as a professor told a handicapped friend there was nothing she could do to help society bc she was handicapped. No need to call him “Brother Covey”
Success with the US Dollar as debt money, isn't service to the Lord. You can't buy the gift of eternal life, it's already been freely given to all those who believe in the Savior Jesus Christ.
I agree that we should not stop the work of the lord and invite and do all the things he is saying to do but I disagree with the premise that we would not be ready if Christ came tomorrow. How many people in Utah are put out to pasture? How many YW presidents, Relief Society presidents, Bishops etc are sitting idle in Utah waiting for something worthwhile to do? Thousands!!! And how many good people are in the world that when Christ comes will be able to learn his full gospel and preach his word within hours of his return. Thousands! There are already built millions of Christian churches that would house millions of people once taught the gospel by the savior himself.
There’s this notion in the church, if they can make us hurry, speed up, do things fast or in other words start fearing the future - then we forget what’s actually going on around us. We live in a closed bubble. Sorry Brother Wilcox, your talks about fear and talks with young youth are over. I’ll follow the gospel without you thanks
He said members are more educated as a whole than the “regular” population which is true. As our level of education goes up our activity in the church goes up as well. He didn’t say as people are more educated they join the church
@@TheHappyNarwhals and that statement is not true. Of course there are some that are educated that stay, but so many members that are educated and become more educated, leave.
If education is so important how come the Church never told us that some of our tithing went to give support for a college education to some but not common knowledge? Is obtaining a college education part of feeding the hungery, clothing the naked and liberating the captive and promoting the gospel of Jesus Christ? Just in the last few years I learned some of my tithing went to help others get a college education without my approval. At what point does the Church become a business instead of Christ's Church?
@@avonbingham9226 What is sad is the LDS church first presidency illegally hiding $32B in shell corporations and lying about it. Then getting a slap on the wrist by the SEC. One of the reasons the leaders did this was because they were afraid the members would stop paying tithing due to the vast amounts of wealth the church has. That's in the SEC report if you want to go read it.
@@i3ubble_t687 Are you sure about the posterity part? I've seen many people rise up in great wisdom and wealth only to lead the subsequent generations into slothfulness and pride. I mean, just look at the BoM, how many times did they go through the pride cycle? Do we think ourselves any better today? If we do, then we have need to repent.
I have been a beneficiary of the church educational program, bcz of that I can hold a good job and provide for my family so that I don't have to depend on others for my sustenance. I can't thank God enough for that program!
I understood his story about the missing $50.00 from the perspective of the receiver. My four children and I found ourselves deserted with no income and no job.

Wilcox is the best. The anti-Mormon controversy about him was sickening.
Stay far away from people and comments that denigrate the leaders of Jesus Christ's TRUE church.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you
how awesome. There is always something to offer to others of ourselves. thank you Pre Wilcox
Our family loved Covey/Richards family
Yes I've been wondering why there hasn't been any speeches from this good brother in a while. So glad to hear from him again!
Probably because he gave an atrocious talk in 2022 at an alpine youth fireside and has been on the dl ever since
@@King_Puffleumpcame to say this
Because he’s been saying some truly outrageous, awkward, offensive, ridiculous stuff the last couple of years and it’s caused problems.
I’ve heard a few of his recent talks and they’ve all been great. 😊

I’ve thought of this as well. So many Saints go to Harvard, Yale, and other ivy’s, and yet come home as or more, faithful than before.

That is simply not true that more education brings people to the church
