Riley Risto

Show Notes

President Nelson has encouraged Latter-day Saints to take personal responsibility for their own learning, but not many members do, relying heavily upon borrowed testimonies and lessons at church.  In 2018, as Pres. Nelson introduced the new home centered, church supported gospel instruction plan, he said, “We are each responsible for our individual spiritual growth”.  In this episode Christopher and Riley discuss the implications of this individual, spiritual responsibility.  They dig into methods, resources, and modalities for rich spiritual growth that can carry you through your mid-life crises and doldrums, while providing support for developing family members and friends on the path of discipleship.
