Hello, my friends. Welcome to Follow Him. Favorites. My name's Hank Smith. I'm here with the incredible John, by the way. Hello, John. Hello, Hank. John, you're amazing. You know each week we take on one question from the Come Follow Me lesson. The question this week is straight from the manual. Have you ever felt pricked in your heart like the Jews on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2? Maybe you did something you regret, or maybe you simply want to change your life. What should you do when you have these feelings? What do you think, John?

That just means you're spiritually sensitive, which is a very good thing. Yeah. Don't run away from that. The Lord's helping you. I like to think of the warning light that comes up in my car that says, here a little low on motor oil, you don't ignore it.

It takes a tape over it. Yeah, it's not a good light to see come on, but you don't ignore it. It tells you you can do something about this, you can fix this. And so you're glad it's there. Ultimately, it says you're engine, right? Yep, exactly right.

I've had students who say they avoid church or the temple or they avoid spiritual things because they know that they'll feel that guilt and I say no no no don't avoid. Feel that let it sit for a moment and it's okay it won't be permanent you're not going to sit there permanently because what follows often after in the scriptures like with with Alma the Younger or with Paul, anyone who gets this feeling that they need to change, it can be a moment of, like, oh no, like, this is painful, this is uncomfortable, but it's always followed with the light. Here comes the light of Christ to say, you can be forgiven, you can change, you will change and I can help you. So don't run away from that feeling, it's not a bad thing like you said, John. You wouldn't have it if you weren't spiritually sensitive. And you're

sensitive enough that the Lord's saying, I can communicate to you, which is good, which is a great thing. Yeah. Maybe do a little journaling at that point, jot some thoughts down, that can be a wonderful moment where you're open to what the Spirit has to say to you. And it happens to all of us. Yeah. We hope you'll join us for a full podcast. It's called Follow Him. You can get it wherever you get your podcast. And then come back here next week. Join us for another Follow Him Favorites. you
