Two Recent Talks and a Movie about Questions

I came across these while preparing for a seminary lesson:

BYU Devotional, 22 Jan. 2019: https://www.byutv.org/player/a34e37cd-199f-4c52-9abf-a5a6851ebf00/byu-devotional-address-lawrence-e-corbridge-12219 --> Elder Corbridge said that the worst of all human condition is not hunger, illness, loneliness, etc.--it is to die spiritually. I like when he talked about primary questions and the methods to discover truth.

Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults, 13 Jan. 2019: https://www.lds.org/broadcasts/archive/worldwide-devotionals/2019/01?lang=eng --> Elder and Sister Renlund

"Divinely Appointed Sources": https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2016-05-6000-divinely-appointed-sources?lang=eng&_r=1 --> I like the analogy of the spring water; it's clean at the source, but it becomes contaminated from pollution, animals, etc. Some people try to trick you into drinking the contaminated water, but if you want clean, refreshing water you have to go to the source. Likewise, if we have questions about the gospel, we should go directly to the source.

And an "oldie but a goodie": https://www.byui.edu/devotionals/sheri-dew. They even made it into an animated video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCwavth11Mk.
