Every ward and branch and stake needs to watch this video basically every week until we GET IT.

I'm not LDS and Idk how I needed up here, but great message!

"We need to be deeply aware of what the purpose of coming to church on Sunday is and make sure that everyone who comes feels loved, needed, accepted, and lifted." We are to be examples of Jesus Christ, his disciples, and in order to do so we must see others as him and our Father in Heaven do. No matter how hard it may be to look past their imperfections- Christ and God have done that with us. And we must do that with our fellow men, something I myself need to work on as well.

I always felt like the outcast at church, n for a time I stopped going, n then I thought about it n I thought I don't go for anyone else, I go for me!!! I'm so very happy n glad I did, I have been truly blessed!!!

This is perhaps the most sincere and beautiful series I've seen put out by the Church. Thank you so much.

I'm in a ward for young single adults. I'd just like to say, "Amen." Church and church functions have been a refuge for me. A sanctuary, if you will. I go throughout my day wrestling all sorts of things, the biggest one being the deep scars, habits, and expectations I've developed from years of bullying and abuse (I've told a few friends and everyone but one person responded "Andrew I never would have guessed if you hadn't told me."), and I come to church and FHE and people like me. And that makes it a safe place. The songwriter Jewel sings "I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad then that's the only idea we'll ever have, but maybe if we are surrounded in beauty someday we will become what we see." I definitely find this in my life. Love of friends thaws the cold, hard parts of my heart and helps me feel God's love. Now I'm learning to love myself. It's about time. Then I believe God might love me. I already know in my head that he does, but this makes it SOOOOO much easier to start knowing in my heart. I couldn't, would never do this without friends. Sister McConkie was right. God sends us the right people. We're among the right people sent. Please, go get to it. Someone needs you.

I had such a poor experience with the Evangelical Church. Our pastor would, instead of preaching love and acceptance, preach hate. I left the church four weeks before my supposed confirmation and never looked back, traumatised by what this man had been teaching and telling everyone. I pretty much had written off the church for years but I stumbled upon a girl on Instagram and she was talking about her faith and the LDS. I was intrigued, because the LDS isn’t common where I am from and I started to read the Book of Mormon and just anything I could get my hands on. It’s like Christ has been guiding me onto this path that, a few years ago, I would have never even considered. I am still hesitant to join, given my poor experience, but it’s so incredibly comforting to know and see and experience that things can be different. The love of Christ is real and it’s so touching for me to see that there are people preaching this instead of hate and fear.

Amazing. This is why I go to church: to feel love and try to give it.

Amen glory be to God God bless us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this message

I can listen to you all day you have such a soothing voice great video

This is a beautiful message. Thank you. I know I need to work on this. I go mostly by myself. My dear husband is not a member. Your message is how we all should try to be. God wants us to be with him. He wants us to lift up others. Thank you. You have a heart of Gold.

This was a loving video, and a reminder when I came back to church after 23 years I was so welcomed loved. I felt Christ’s love and felt like I belonged. One of my favorite things to do now is to show those in my ward or those that want to belong Christs love for them I agree he uses us to bless others by a smile or hug or just a how are you today. I am eternally grateful for the gospel for this reason

i love You God and Jesus! Amen

"We are placed where we are so we can love and lift others". I often feel utterly inadequate to do so, but I believe in Divine Guidance.

A woman full of wisdom indeed.

I used to feel like this, n I did go inactive for like 5years but then something happened in my life that just let me know it had to come back. N I'm so glad I did :)

Under any circumstances, our Saviour loves us deeply and dearly...

This comes from the official LDS website Mormon and Gay. When you hear her words with that in mind, it is a very powerful example of how we are to love and welcome our LGBTQ brothers and sisters who too often feel judged and rejected by our church community. Let's never say things from the pulpit, in the classrooms, or any other setting that would lead any vulnerable person to think, "God could not possibly love me and I don't belong here."

Glory be to God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 In God we trust God blesses us all!!!!!!!!!!

This is true. We need to sit with the not so popular person and talk to them and listen to them for they are loved but may not feel it. We also need to genuinely care about the popular people too and not just give false friendship to anyone. I liked this video. Thank you.

Loved this video and the video series released from the church leaders. They addressed concerns and they all strengthened my testimony and my drive to do better in The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Huge thanks!!

Thank you for this timely message.

This video is just awesome. Thank you for the words Sister.

This helped me not only desire to love and lift others more, it also gave me insight into Sister McConkie. Thank you.

Sooo true! Nobody should ever feel unwelcome and unloved at church. The world drags people down everyday. The church and its activities should be a time of healing and love. Shelter from the storm known as life.

Perfectly said, inspired..thank you sister mcconkie.

Thank you for this message.

Jesus is King! God bless.

I feel like this should be like a pre-endowment that everyone has to watch before they accept any calling or even attend a church meeting

Love this ❤️❤️❤️

I love this so much!!

N another uplifting video xxx

Powerful message. Wow.

Great message. I love it

❤️❤️❤️

I felt unloved and uninspired in one ward for many years, i reached out, but it fell on deaf ears had no good friends, no callings, but I stuck it out for the sake of my family. I did sharey concerns to some and all I got was I wasn't truly converted and that i needed to work on my personal testimony. nice. haven't been to church since them. I don't break the word of wisdom or anything I just don't go to meetings. I've sinceoved to another state/city here in Australia but going to church isn't one of my priorities right now. one day.

I want some big old fancy Church and it seemed nice because it was big on 20 acres but it felt so I found the collector no one came to talk to me it was just too much and then they had a food pantry oh my God they try to disrespect me I went back there like twice and she's like no he is supposed to come back here once a month and I'm like that's not godly like oh my God I'm not going to come to your church if you act like that over a pantry oh man so yes I'm joining my friends are down here in Pensacola I've been with you guys from Fredericksburg Virginia and now I'm in Pensacola this is real you guys always make sense with the videos I mean it's genuine coming from a good place

"The Gospel of Jesus Christ does not marginalise people. People marginalise people" Sister Carol F. Mcconkie speaks with a heart of love, not law. Her message shows the authentic message of Jesus, not one contaminated by human beings, power struggles and dominant cultural attitudes. So, please don't let people walk away from the church unloved, unneeded and feeling judged! It's about time those members who understand spoken English well in Thailand came to terms with meaning "Lifting Others" that it is more than just words that say or lips that pray with a heart of love to act, not ache!

Hola hermana

I'm realizing in the end the only thing that matters is that we bare one anothers burdens. We are all sinful in one way or another.

The desciption mentioned this was a part of series, does anyone know from which series or playlist this came?

I am aware that we need reverence in our meetings but...everyone who enters into a LDS chapel, needs to be greeted sincerely with the smile of the gospel and, not with the smile of the world.

Don't pass the buck and say it's in God's name when you know it's I'll advise or turn a blind eye because you are weak.
