    Thank you so much for this video. I have failed so often in my attempts to share the Gospel. I prayed just minutes before I saw this video to have wisdom to know how to successfully share the Gospel. It helps hearing it from a convert such as yourself to know what will work and what won't. Thank you. ❤

    David, thank you for extracting the principles you did in that talk. It was a wonderful way to hear you're testimony through the lens of sharing the gospel. We definitely need more instruction on how to pierce through the accusatory fog and till the ground of people's hearts. Indeed, the depth of the entrenched thinking is what seems to make these miracles of conversion all the more remarkable.

    On my mission I encountered a group of Christians who were looking for a restored church and earnestly looking forward to the second coming. I told them we were it and explained it all to them. They still wanted to argue with me, because the phobia is real. I’ll never forget how shocked they looked when they realized that “Mormons” actually claimed to be exactly what the Bible says the church should be. They looked shocked, pale, and genuinely frightened that they’d have to accept something they’d been indoctrinated to hate. I feel for them. It must be really hard.

    • @davidmalvinalexander
      @davidmalvinalexander  9 днів тому +12

      It's not just that they "have to accept" the truth ....but they KNOW...that to even move a tiny bit in that direction...would cost them more than they are willing to pay...they would lose all their friends...their social network, their religious network, and even much of their economic network...to even move towards the Restoration. They would get "cancelled" by all that their lives are built into. And this is on TOP OF...having to be humble enough to become as a little child and humble themselves to receive the truth. It is very hard...so we have to find ways to bring real FAITH to them...without them having to make the leap to "reading the Book of Mormon"...which if anyone found out they were doing...they would be instantly ostracized...
      This is why getting phone numbers or emails...and just occassionally send them links via email or texting...to powerful Conference Talks...has the potential to bring the faith to them, necessary to even dare to READ the Book of Mormon...much less let themselves be taught by our Missionaries...because they can LISTEN to such Conference Talks...in Secret!...and it seems WAY LESS THREATENING than "Reading the Book of Mormon" ....but the Conference Talks, ARE ALSO...the Word of God with the power to inspire TRUE FAITH...in the heart of any sincere soul that listens to them...but in secret...just as Nicodemus by Night...came secretly to Jesus!...and once their eyes are opened by the Word of God through the Conference Talks...everything changes!

    Thank you Bro David for your wisdom through experience. My husband is not a member of the Church...yet! He is a stubborn one but you've given me hope. I believe his parents (Catholic and Anglican) hearts may be more fertile than his, and I have shared conference links with my mother in law in the past (the image of her in RS has come to me more than once!). Abit to navigate without offending but i will continue to pray for them and try to have courage when an opportunity to share comes (and doubt not!)
    Praying for a miracle for your dear sister. I hope the seed of faith in the word, sprouts in her heart through the loving touch of the Savior’s hand.

      And David, on the marriage topic it’s okay to move quickly if the spirit confirms she’s the one. If you’re both on the same covenant path and willing to give it everything, it will work.
      From my first date with my wife to proposal was only 2 months. And 3 months later we were married. If you had told me 6 months earlier that I would find and marry my eternal companion within the next 6 months, I would not have believed it. I was nearly 30 at that time and setting my ways. We have now been married for nearly 19 years, happily.
      Pray about Jayne and go for it, David. Temple blessings await.

The way we have been led, is to give our relationship "four seasons and six road trips" to prove itself. We are about halfway there...and so far...we keep growing in our love for each other. But we are not married yet. But both of us....if w end up married...would love to go on missions together.

      I lost my beloved eternal companion in August. It's been so hard, but what has given me comfort is the fact that death has no victory, although the sting is so horrible, I'm not even going to try to sugarcoat it. I will be with my husband in the eternities as his wife. I am so grateful for the comfort that I am my beloved's and that he is mine - for all eternity. This precious knowledge, that my beloved Johnny and I are sealed for time and all eternity is the most sacred and absolutely comforting truth taught within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints besides the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation. Husbands and wives will be together in the eternities through the sealing ordinances performed in the temples found only in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Families are meant to be together forever. Hallelujah!!!!!
      I wish you nothing but good things in Jesus Christ! Your testimony continues to bring joy to so many. You will bring many people to Jesus Christ and His church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. God bless you and Jayne!

    David, I remember watching those first few podcasts that you put out being in your van. I remember crying because I was so happy for you.Then life happened and I got busy and I didn't keep track of you.
    Just recently, I was called by the Stake to be at Temple Family History Consultant. I started working at the family history center here in Richfield Utah. One of the ladies , I call her my go to gold because she's so knowledgeable. We were talking about this new program we learned and I just started crying, which is common for me lol. and she says I got this BYU talk I think you might be interested in watching. She started to tell me that it's about this guy that's a convert and he started reading from his van. And I jumped up, and I looked at her ! I said I know this guy ! Is he the guy that was driving around in his van, and he was doing podcasts about how fabulous the book of Mormon was and about how we have the priesthood, and we have the authority in the keys.!!!!l She turned to me and she says yeah.
    I said oh my gosh, I remember watching his podcasts and I never got back to watching them. And she says I'm gonna send it to you. I said please do because I would really like to know where he's at now years later. David, I am so proud of you. I know you don't know me and I am the person in the background that just want tell you kudos for following the Holy Ghost !!!
    I love you and I think you are a fantastic man. And I am so blessed to hear your talk at BYU.. If you are still single ❤️ So am I❣️

    My husband served a mission in 1974-76 in the Australia, Brisbane Mission. It was a tough mission. They either had not heard of the church, did not like "Yankees" or hated the "cult-est" Mormons. He gave out many Books of Mormon, they would go by again on trash day and find the books on top of the trash bin. He and his companion gathered them up and gave them out to someone else. We all know that these people who rejected the Book and the Misssionaries and the Message will one day realize that they rejected something very precious.

    Cosmism - you can't even imagine it has anything to do with true religion. One day you will wake up to the importance of the temporal side of the gospel and understand the saving ordinances on a whole new level. Time is ticking. It looks like it will be another 47 years. Hugh Nibley said Cosmism was the whole show in ancient religion and our modern paradigm (way of thinking) is tainted by the accusers through the great apostasy. Joseph Smith knew but he said it is like splitting a hemlock knot with a pumpkin for a beetle and a corn dodger for a wedge. I wonder if anyone will google that and realize what Joseph was talking about. Is anyone out there prepared to open this book?

      “Each temple is a house of learning. There we are taught in the Master’s way. His way differs from modes of others. His way is ancient and rich with symbolism. We can learn much by pondering the reality for which each symbol stands. Teachings of the temple are beautifully simple and simply beautiful. They are understood by the humble, yet they can excite the intellect of the brightest minds.” - Russel M. Nelson - April 2001 Conference

    A survey was taken several years ago among the new converts in England. It was concluded that it took an average of 7 positive contacts from members and I would include missionaries of the church before these folks listened to the message of the restoration. Think of that when you visit folks. Leave them with the most up beat and positive impression of the church you can muster because this might be their fourth or fifth contact. Only two more to go. Ha Oh course there are exceptions to this idea. One of our families we baptized fit this pattern though.
