   Introduction: Latter-day Saint Missionary Podcast

   Hello, welcome to Latter-day Saint MissionCast. This podcast is hosted by Nick Galieti (https://whatnickdoes.com/podcasts/). I have hosted this podcast for over two years. It’s time I made an introduction episode to explain what this podcast is, and what to expect as you go back and listen to past episodes. My hope in starting this podcast was to provide a resource for prospective missionaries, even missionaries in the field, as well as for those that come home and want to transition from full-time service to being a member-missionary. I have served a full time mission in Louisiana; and, about 6 years after coming home from full-time service, I completed a service mission for what was then called LDS Family Services. Missionary service holds a special place in my heart and if you are listening to this, I hope that means you do too. Latter-day Saint MissionCast was my effort to bring materials that I wish I had on my mission but to a worldwide audience. Come Follow Me (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/manual/come-follow-me?lang=eng) and Preach My Gospel (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/preach-my-gospel-a-guide-to-missionary-service?lang=eng) are tremendous and inspired resources, but they are guides—they are not the completed text of all gospel knowledge. They are starting points by which we can all discover more. This podcast hopes to give additional help and insights in that same effort. There are foundational episodes of the Latter-day Saint MissionCast that work as a good starting point in navigating our catalog of content. Please start by listening to our Basic Doctrines Series (https://ldsmissioncast.com/category/podcast/basic-doctrines-series/). These 10 episodes start with my interview entitled What is Doctrine? What is Policy and Practice? With Mike Goodman (https://ldsmissioncast.com/2019/01/10/what-is-doctrine-what-is-policy-or-practice-mike-goodman-interview/). Listening to these episodes first will help in understanding how the gospel teachings fit together, and perhaps the best ways to approach all the rest of the subjects and discussions that take place in other episodes. Ironically these are the last episodes we have produced…please forgive me for that :) Once you have listened to these 10 episodes feel free to listen to any episode that you feel you want to listen to in any order. I hope our catalog of episodes will be something that is studied, shared, and will help missionaries for generations to come. We have episodes with people who have made missionary-minded films (https://ldsmissioncast.com/2018/02/03/meet-mormons-craftsman-interview-episode-1/) all the way to gospel scholars who share their wisdom and experience in gospel learning and teaching. We also have episodes about the lived experiences of those who have served missions, interviews with comedians on how to use humor in teaching the gospel (https://ldsmissioncast.com/2018/05/10/teaching-the-gospel-using-comedy-with-shawn-rapier/), and even therapists who share great insights (https://ldsmissioncast.com/2018/03/29/resiliency-for-mormon-missionaries-brian-murdock-interview-episode-9/) on how to navigate some of the mental health aspects (https://ldsmissioncast.com/2018/02/15/missionary-mental-health-annie-edwards-episode-3/) that can arise in the course of missionary ministering. We have episodes that help you laugh, help you feel inspired in the many ways that missionary work can be accomplished. There are episodes that will help you to think deeper about gospel principles—but will also ...

   Preparing Tomorrow’s Missionaries Today – With Robert Cornilles and Taylor Halverson

   Preparing to serve a mission doesn't start in the MTC. Missionaries and their parents have an increasing need to prepare missionaries while they are young. With a new book, Preparing Tomorrow's Missionaries Today, parents have a new tool to help them to overcome this challenge. Preparing Tomorrow's Missionaries Today (https://www.amazon.com/Preparing-Tomorrows-Missionaries-Today-Disciples/dp/1951341090) is presented by Robert Cornilles and Taylor Halverson. This book is a powerful guide to both the missionary preparing to leave, but even more so the parents of that missionary. There is much to know that can help someone that is preparing to serve. These ideas will make them a more effective, but also more confident and fulfilling missionary. In this episode, we join with Robert and Taylor to discuss this book, how it came to be, and ways in which this text can be a great addition to your personal library. (https://www.amazon.com/Preparing-Tomorrows-Missionaries-Today-Disciples/dp/1951341090) “The ultimate missionary training center is in our homes,” declared Elder David A. Bednar in his 2019 address, “Prepared to Receive Every Needful Thing.” Member missionaries—parents, children, youth, and leaders—of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognize that in order to play their part in gathering Israel, home-centered preparation is vital.Preparing Tomorrow’s Missionaries Today is a practical, intuitive, and fun approach to become a courageous member missionary now, and for some, a more successful full-time missionary soon. In other words, a most effective disciple of Jesus Christ at home and abroad.This book addresses a dilemma all who want to be faithful member missionaries face, especially those preparing to serve full-time: “How do I share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others in a comfortable and natural way?” In traditional, Church-supported missionary training centers, those who have been called to serve are generously and ably taught what to say. Within these pages we assist home-centered missionary training centers by teaching the reader how to say it. Following the instructions within Preach My Gospel and modern-day prophets’ teachings, in this volume tomorrow’s legion of missionaries will learn valuable communication skills using friendly methods honed from the authors’ years of experience. This is their contribution to making homes more effective missionary training centers—a supportive tool for those who want to confidently proclaim beloved truths near and far." Taylor Halverson was a previous guest on the podcast in two different episodes: https://www.ldsmissioncast.com/2018/03/01/teach-gospel-using-metaphors-analogies-taylor-halverson-episode-5-lds-missioncast/ https://www.ldsmissioncast.com/2018/03/08/talking-is-not-teaching/

   Basic Doctrines Series Part 9: Commandments with Scott Sorensen

   The basic doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ are the foundation of a testimony of the Restored Gospel. This is the final episode in our Basic Doctrines Series on the doctrine of Commandments. Commandments are considered a doctrine because they are eternal, and their importance has been taught from before the foundations of the world. Commandments are also the criteria for our eternal salvation and judgement. (https://www.amazon.com/Come-Follow-through-Book-Mormon/dp/1524412937) (https://www.facebook.com/groups/423476615206446/permalink/494841801403260/?__xts__[0]=68.ARAX7yUp52Ivr_RizsRDtXrJuQHUbZP8gQJwhkhLhQ8jML7dIgM3tcxm_XQYY9KmmslVy1xb2CbWFHjgTFzPUda3HJ9x_4G5-ECM7vijifvDSTtpFmKNrVkvClwBrLQ59OoqN3RYtBt7ck_oNnS5hoviapIX8_6lc7asch9N3Xoy31gc_G6GA3pr-7CfCPbc6gQngaa6EVglQ7jZJCCxriBLgQCH8YT-Ze8aNkOniqlQpHcKLiOSSxrgTTPBimuVdT9mdmVTqbyMyOCiA01PtVzuSE1RZfasobyytRgEGj92CNwJgqOlmOpUz2fGTDxSdu0EOGpkGXsuQGPNf1yGanoM6YFfKKg&amp;__tn__=kCH-R) Our guest for the this episode is religious educator, Scott Sorensen (https://www.instagram.com/scott.thoughts/). Scott is the co-host of the popular web series, Real Talk: Come Follow Me (https://www.facebook.com/groups/423476615206446/permalink/494841801403260/?__xts__[0]=68.ARAX7yUp52Ivr_RizsRDtXrJuQHUbZP8gQJwhkhLhQ8jML7dIgM3tcxm_XQYY9KmmslVy1xb2CbWFHjgTFzPUda3HJ9x_4G5-ECM7vijifvDSTtpFmKNrVkvClwBrLQ59OoqN3RYtBt7ck_oNnS5hoviapIX8_6lc7asch9N3Xoy31gc_G6GA3pr-7CfCPbc6gQngaa6EVglQ7jZJCCxriBLgQCH8YT-Ze8aNkOniqlQpHcKLiOSSxrgTTPBimuVdT9mdmVTqbyMyOCiA01PtVzuSE1RZfasobyytRgEGj92CNwJgqOlmOpUz2fGTDxSdu0EOGpkGXsuQGPNf1yGanoM6YFfKKg&amp;__tn__=kCH-R). Scott is also the author of Come Follow Me Through the Book of Mormon (https://www.amazon.com/Come-Follow-through-Book-Mormon/dp/1524412937). Scott discusses the foundational necessity of Commandments, but he also goes into why we have commandments, and how we should keep them. Have you thoughts about commandments as a relational principle, not strictly a to-do list of behaviors? Scott talks about how we can see commandments the same way. From the official website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/manual/basic-doctrines/basic-doctrines?lang=eng), here is what is taught about Commandments: Commandments Commandments are the laws and requirements that God gives to mankind. We manifest our love for Him by keeping His commandments (see John 14:15 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/scriptures/nt/john/14.15?lang=eng#p14)). Keeping the commandments will bring blessings from the Lord (see D&amp;C 82:10 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/82.10?lang=eng#p9)). The two most basic commandments are “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. … And … love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:36–39 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/scriptures/nt/matt/22.36-39?lang=eng#p35)). The Ten Commandments (http://www.mormon.org/beliefs/commandments) are a vital part of the gospel and are eternal principles that are necessary for our exaltation (see Exodus 20:3–17 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/scriptures/ot/ex/20.3-17?lang=eng#p2)). The Lord revealed them to Moses in ancient times, and He has restated them in latter-day revelations. Other commandments include praying daily (see <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/32.8-9?
