In this episode, Latter-day Faith host Dan
Wotherspoon goes solo this time to talk about the
aspect of "surrendering" or "yielding" or "allowing" the Divine to
work in us. He asserts that if we allow the idea that God is all in
all and in and through everything, including ourselves, and if we
seek to abide in and be influenced by our spiritual center that
exists "in" God and is God, we will be able to grow spiritually in
ways our minds and plans and goals can't even imagine, as
experiencing deep abiding in God is far richer than these can ever
touch. From there, he moves into aspects of surrender and yielding,
and reveals through various LDS scripture how deeply embedded this
practice is, this stance of allowing something more than what our
dualistic minds and beliefs can change us in our very
core.
If "ideas about" God or aspects of the universe as describe in
religions language are increasingly feeling constrictive and
impotent, let this episode and its focus on experiencing God sink
in a bit. You'll be intrigued and hopefully motivated to trust the
deepest calls of our soul.
