Be Not Afraid, Only Believe - Elder Holland

I watched this tonight. It was addressed to CES Religious Educators, but there are great principles for everyone--especially young adults, or anyone with doubts and fears. If you're short on time, skip ahead to about 7:35. (The first several minutes are just a bunch of acknowledgements.)

One of my favorite quotes: "At the end of the day, all of us must make distinctions between the greater and the lesser elements of our testimony. For me the greater pillars include those majestic truths [of the Restoration] mentioned earlier, their irreplaceable centrality in my life, and the realization that I simply could not live, I could not go on without them or without the blessings I have known or without the promises we have all been given in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. . . . Don’t miss those blessings!"
