Though I love this presentation, I am sorry to say as much as I would have loved for that type of guidance my Patarichal blessing did not offer up even a hint. So to others who our blessing didn't give this type of guidance, we get to trust the mystery.
Well Brad Wilcox once again you have hit the ball out of the park. I am grateful that you have lived up to your mission.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖💖💖You have really encouraged me again. You encouraged me a few years ago when you came to Lethbridge for timeout for women.Again, thank you for living your mission. I am grateful you have to live a mission that is not private 🥰
You spoke straight to me. I've always known that inside but that was the first time I saw it printed out for me to read. And to hear the word spoken as well was absolutely profound. Thank you
I think this message is subtly dangerous and not even doctrinal. It is ok to be quietly good. Not everyone was born to be the leader, to be a prophet, to do the great and marvelous things. And that is simply ok. If you are a farmer who does not interact with the society very much, who just quietly goes about his business, doing good, not changing the world, then that is ok! Where in the scriptures does it ever say that we made a covenant in the way described in the video? Nowhere. This video could give people a messiah complex, could lead to people feeling huge guilt when they DON'T change the world. It is ok to just be quietly good.
@@quemaspana Brad cites Zachariah Tarbell as an example of someone changing the world. That is coherent with your statement that "It is ok to just be quietly good."
@@spellbindery1 Except his point is that Tarbell still changed the world just in a quiet way. Where is the canonized scripture that says I was born to change the world? And that it's my job to find my special mission? That it is not ok to be unremarkable? That can be a heavy burden on someone. I stand by my claim that it is a dangerous, untrue doctrine.
@@quemaspana I guess I am confused, then. Your original statement leads with the claim this is subtly dangerous. Your support for that is, "it is ok to be quietly good." Just now you state the same idea was Brad's message. ("... his point is that Tarbell still changed the world just in a quiet way.") Can you clarify? Thanks!
You may feel you don’t need religion to know who you are, perhaps you are right, perhaps you are strong enough and self aware enough to figure it out on your own. But having religion would have made that path of discovery easier, and having the gospel near will help you hold on to that truth of who you are when so many other influences will try to dissuade you and get you to change over the years. Perhaps you are stronger than most and able to find the correct path without guidance, but do you think everyone is as strong as that? Your participation in actively living the gospel may help others, maybe even just by example, who need that support from your strength. Everyone deserves a chance to know the truths about themselves and you might be able to help them and in so doing be a better person than you could be standing alone.
This is not just a religion. This is a fullness and expansiveness that will empower your life and those around you. Truth is not just inside of you, but all around you. There are heights and horizons that will unfold from the carrying power of the knowledge of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have discovered this myself and I cannot wait for what is to come in my life because of not just what I know, but because of what I am because of what I know.
Thanks Brother Wilcox for sharing your Testimony and this brief lesson. Thank you for the reminder that we can all have a positive impact on the world. 😊 I stumbled upon this as my UA-cam account suggested this video. I'm glad I decided to click on this! 😁
Brad Wilcox has the most infectious smile. His message is truth and peace, sure... but that SMILE! Ever wonder what joy feels like? Stare at this thumbnail.
I know you probably have many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that could give these 5 minute firesides but I would hope that Brother Wilcox will become favorite and be invited back often to do more of them.
I appreciated this 5 minute fireside and I loved it that most people who responded took the time to say what was positive for them. For me Brad was enthusiastic and he helped me sort out stuff! Love it when a person is able to get across a good message in five minutes. That takes talent. That takes strong organizational skills. I loved it that I felt the Holy Ghost was with him and encouraging him as he encouraged me! I would certainly tune in to hear more from Brad and I thank our Heavenly Father that he has blessed Brad to be the wonderful person he is!
"Don't you dare let the world make a mark on you ... you were born to make a mark on it." I cannot tell you, dear Brother Brad Wilcox (who I share DNA with and you don't even really know me), how timely this sentence is to me right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thank Heaven, for giving this world your tender God-loving heart.
Greetings from THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST 🌟✝️✨ I don't understand what you are saying but by your good works for others are you saved. Maybe all should look to their own countries to do their mission work. End Times we are living... Cheers 🤳🔥💖 Bee 🕊️🦋🐝
Thank you so much for sharing this insightful message with us! It was very inspiring to me. You're amazing! God bless you for all the good you do. 😊💗🙏🙏
snowboardutah3 if you dislike this, why do you go out of your way to watch it. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, and this is my religion, but I don’t really understand why you felt the need to share your feelings and go out of your way to watch it. Explain please
Thank you Bro Wilcox for your message and for your love of God - which is so apparent in your striving to guide any who will listen - along the covenant path! I love to listen to you!! =))
Bard, this was so neat. Your mom and dad are smiling down from heaven! Love to you our good friend. Keep fulfilling your mission. You have definitely left your mark on the world and continue to do so! Bonnie & Jim
I know why I was born for, not for glory or to make a better place in the world, I was born to be the whipping boy to God, a joke to kick around and to made fun of by God and all his angles. To kicked, tripped and made the center of all Heavenly jokes.
I would like to address you Matthew about how you feel. I am in a world of trial and tribulation myself. Even last night I struggled to feel that God doesn't care about me. One thing popped into my mind as I had all those terrible thoughts. "All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not. The devil has no power over us only as we permit him". Joseph Smith Matthew you and I are allowing Satan and his followers to tell us it is God and his angels that doing this making us feel that way, that it is God that is making fun of you. There are two powers fighting for your soul and letting the devil and his miscreants lead us to think it is God. Don't allow the adversary to do that to you. I promise you that you can know God is not behind these feelings and thoughts and he loves and cares about your welfare, but you are allowing Satan to have control right now. Don't let him have that privilege, you are better than he will ever be because of your right choices. Don't give up, go to God in prayer asking him if he loves you. He will let you know.
Love Bro Wilcox!!! One of mine’s, Family History that I’ve been procrastinating in doing and important people died that could’ve helped me, so I’m doing it with faith that I will have help from the other side of the veil.
Who is here for the countdown to conference, covenant of Israel guide?
Your Patarichal Blessing gives you some idea of your mission on Earth.
Though I love this presentation, I am sorry to say as much as I would have loved for that type of guidance my Patarichal blessing did not offer up even a hint. So to others who our blessing didn't give this type of guidance, we get to trust the mystery.
Holy spaces cadet!
Thank you so so much for the five minute fireside please keep them coming they are so inspirational.
Who could dislike Bro Brad Wilcox. I love his talks and books. He talks abt sacranent and grace i love it. And i love his talk felt peace.
Those who are not active in the church and or anit! That is who
@@MissPinkGirlOfSLC Heavy words there sister
I really dislike Brad!
If you don’t believe it, go and watch the news ;)
Do 5 minutes of research and you’ll see how messed up he id

Ever?!

This guy is insane.
💛Needed this reminder of how to steer my ship - and WHY I set sail in the first place 💛
Thank you Brother Wilcox. I loved this!
That was great Brad! I really appreciate those stories and examples. Challenge accepted to make My Turn On Earth count. 😉
So inspiring! Love Brad Wilcox!

Great video!
My name is Alejandro Madrid and I just realize brother Wilcox that we met each other at BYU.
I don’t need a religion to know me, don’t need anybody to tell me who I am, the truth is inside me.
You may feel you don’t need religion to know who you are, perhaps you are right, perhaps you are strong enough and self aware enough to figure it out on your own. But having religion would have made that path of discovery easier, and having the gospel near will help you hold on to that truth of who you are when so many other influences will try to dissuade you and get you to change over the years.

Everyone deserves a chance to know the truths about themselves and you might be able to help them and in so doing be a better person than you could be standing alone.
True religion is not meant to keep you from knowing yourself, it just helps and it helps moderate relationships between people.
This is not just a religion. This is a fullness and expansiveness that will empower your life and those around you. Truth is not just inside of you, but all around you. There are heights and horizons that will unfold from the carrying power of the knowledge of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have discovered this myself and I cannot wait for what is to come in my life because of not just what I know, but because of what I am because of what I know.

Jerald Tanner
Sandra Tanner
John Dehlin
Martha Nibley Beck
Looks like Brother Brad isn't following the Word of Wisdom, eh? A few too many milkshakes and cokes with his In-n-Out.
😂😂 The way the video started, I thought he was going to talk about intuition, reason, gut instinct etc...
Thank you for pronouncing Chile in the same accent as the rest of your words! :)
I LOVE THIS ❤️
I hope you'll stay honest too forever. Thanks.
Gee that was nice. Share this
Love this book! Love this message! Love this man!
How could there be four previous mission presidents in less than a year? The term is for three years.
Beautiful message!
This video made my day
Thanks Brad!
Theeee best!! My love runs deep for this good, fun man!
WHAT-A-FANTASTIC-MESSAGE! Thanks for sharing Elder Wilcox!!

@@chilipepper0791 I am sorry for my statement. I shouldn't of written it, for it is wrong for me to ever express feeling to others.
