Dr. Ross Baron shares this week on followHIM's episode of "Thoughts to Keep in Mind".

This episode explores why the words of ancient prophets still matter in our lives today. Their prophecies teach eternal truths, help us recognize our role in God’s work, and invite us to prepare for the Savior’s return. Most importantly, when we study their words with faith, we discover that they have always pointed us toward Jesus Christ.

Elder Bednar taught, “I now extend to you the invitation to help transform the trickle into a flood. Beginning at this place on this day, I exhort you to sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth — messages that are authentic, edifying, and praiseworthy — and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood."

Learning to laugh might be one of life’s greatest survival skills. Laugh at the awkward moments, the unexpected detours, and especially yourself. Life can be heavy, but God also gave us joy, and sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is take a deep breath and laugh.

➡️ When have you seen the benefit of laughter?

"Life is in some respects the art of losing."

➡️ What did you learn from this week's episode?

09/08/2026

➡️ What has brought you lasting happiness that money could never buy?

We spend so much of life chasing the next accomplishment, possession, or experience, hoping it will finally make us happy. But Proverbs reminds us that wisdom, especially the wisdom that helps us understand our place in God’s plan, is worth more than anything the world can offer.

➡️ What wisdom is the Lord trying to teach you right now?

This week Dr. Adam Miller joins followHIM!

Part 2:
Dr. Adam Miller examines how Ecclesiastes dismantles our illusions about success, happiness, and desire and points us toward the surprising freedom found in sacrifice and the life of Jesus Christ
