S9E06: Beware the Second Temptation (feat. Greg Matsen)

Step into a message that will touch your heart and invite the Spirit in profound ways. In this episode, we explore President Jeffrey R. Holland’s April 2025 general conference address, “As a Little Child.” President Holland, renowned for his ability to speak directly to the soul, offers a moving and deeply personal reminder of what it means to be humble, meek, and full of childlike faith.

With his signature warmth and candor, President Holland recounts the Savior’s invitation to His disciples: “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. Through tender stories and powerful testimony, he illustrates how the innocence, purity, and trust of children are not just endearing-they are essential qualities for anyone seeking to draw closer to Christ.

You’ll hear examples that will bring a smile to your face and perhaps a tear to your eye, such as the story of a young boy’s courage and faith that moved his father to tears. President Holland reminds us that children love easily, forgive readily, and laugh delightfully-qualities that can soften even the hardest heart and transform our relationships with God and each other.

This episode is more than a discussion; it’s an invitation to examine your own heart. Are there places where pride has crept in? Could you use more of the childlike attributes of faith, loyalty, purity, and love in your life? President Holland’s words will encourage you to let go of burdens and rediscover the joy and spiritual power that come from becoming as a little child before God.
