Elder Patrick Kearon Thoughts

These are my own personal notes from when we had a leadership training with Elder Patrick Kearon.

The Church is True!

Get Physically Healthy Now!

  • Emotionally & Mentally Too
  • Spiritually of course as that runs through everything

We get to serve in the Lord’s Church!

Discipleship> Membership

Be Faithful when no one is watching

Daily Worshipful Prayer

Lifelong Consistency

Temple Attending People > Church Attending People

Joy was the dying words of Lehi to Jacob

Child of God Context must be learned!

Don’t be discouraged

We counteract the world by following the character of Christ (turning outwards)

Invitation – How can I be more Effective Listening to you? (Brothers -> Sisters)

Joy is found when focused on Christ, not just on circumstances

Book of Mormon is the Ultimate Tool

Sacrament Attendance Must be Priority (for new members too)

Organized Love > Generalized Concern

Preach the Gospel

Invite Young Men to serve Missions

Start Missionary Preparation from Primary!

Leadership sets the Climate

See a Sermon > Hear a Sermon

Rejoice in the Atonement

Be Uplifting, Build Faith, Show Light

Joyful Reverence in Sacrament (Similar to Temple Reverance)

Stay focused on Christ and his Atoning Gift

Infinite Atonement Covers All

Live the Truth
