Imagine a full year gifted for the purpose of intentionally learning how to #HearHim.
In years past, we've done many year long curriculums: Book of Mormon study, New Testament... What about a year of study on “HearHim”? Starting in earnest around March/April 2020.
I wondered to myself, how am I experiencing #HearHim, and what grade should I receive as of today?
Interesting note... none of the 12 questions require being inside a Church building to experience.
There are 12 questions asked by President Nelson.
There are 22 blessings associated with those asks.
