- Safety For The Soul is a great talk given by Apostle of the Lord, Jeffrey R Holland and is one of my favorites. Should one day be recognized as a classic.
How to navagate these turbulent waters that we found ourselves in during these times, the latter-days.

I remember this like it was yesterday. I was watching it in the BYU football locker room my freshman year and it hit me like a ton of bricks as I was going to differ the next 2 seasons to serve a mission. Best choice I ever made after this talk. 💯 Let it be known. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland is the last of a dying breed of lions who speak from the pulpit. I too give my witness of the truth and divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Prophet Joseph Smith and I'll defend my testimony till the death of me.
💯⚔🛡🩸
This testimony/talk of the Book of Mormon will go down in LDS history. I would rank this with Elder McConkie's last testimony.
Drew M McConkie!
Amen to that!!!
Exactly what I thought when I heard it the first time during General Conference
I was on my mission when this talk came out. Talk about a boost !!
After 11 years I'm still amazed by this talk
I'm sick and stayed home from church today and I decided to watch conference talks and it made me feel better.
How's your health now after 6 years friend?
Elder Holland is the man. What a powerful testimony!
Megan Reichmann Powerful testimony of what??" Jesus or a {supposedly} inspired book? All I heard was when he comes to the judgment seat of Christ he wants to be known that the book of Mormon is true~~ Id THINK when we stand before Christ we d have a few other things in mind , like am I right with Jesus , not some book!
I understand your confusion. I admire your goal and desire to be right with God and Jesus Christ when you stand before them. I have that same desire and goal. So does Elder Holland. Let me try to clear up some confusion. I hope I can explain this well. If you look on the cover of The Book of Mormon, you will see right below the title, a subtitle. The subtitle says: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. We believe and know that along with the Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon is a book of instructions on how we can live our life so that one day we may stand before Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and know that we are right with them. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. By saying that we have a testimony of the Book of Mormon, it is also saying that we have a testimony of Jesus Christ.
I hoped that maybe that answered some questions for you. It sounds like you too are trying to do the best you can, so that you can stand before God and Jesus Christ and know that you are right with them. I admire your obvious strong desire and testimony of that goal. If you have any more questions about this, or anything else really, click on this link below. There will be people that will be able to answer questions and explain things much better than I could. Good luck and great question! :)

When i stand before God i wsnt Him to know i know that the bom is false,someone def hafds fun time writing it...If it was another testament or testimony of Jesus it wouldn't contradict the Bible. One time in a sunday school a couple weeks ago i musta heard the teacher say 5 or 6 times i know that this church is true! Good way to convince himself or his hearers,brainwash um~~ whatever... Megan Reichmann
Robert Ray Well, instead of trying to prove him and millions others that they are wrong, you could just read it and pray about it. Do it seriously, don't be biased, and don't go in with any preconceived notions about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. Just read it and pray about it. I didn't know that it was true, along with the church, until I decided to try myself. You can do whatever you want, but if you really want to know what is true, instead of pointing fingers, then try it out yourself. If you do read it and you still thinks it's false, then by all means go ahead and tear down others. But until you've done that for yourself, you have no right to tell others what is true and what is false. Just read it and pray about it. And really try. It takes time, it's not a five minute effort, but you will know about the truth of the Book of Mormon if you put in the time to know. God wants us to try somewhat; why would he give us an answer about something so sacred if we didn't do anything to show Him that we really want to know. Don't misunderstand--I'm not angry with you and I'm not trying to tear you down. I hope that you will respect others whose beliefs are different than yours the same way. Just read it and pray honestly about it. That's all we've ever asked.
Ive studied with missionaries prolly like 30 times or more. They/ you believe that the dead ARENT REALLY dead; the Bible says otherwise ( Ecc 9:5,6;John 11:11-14,Psalms 13:3) Nephi dude seems to make sucha big deal bout the commandments n keeping them. And the whole Mormon church is based on we try hard to keep the commandments.Butthen like all major Christian denominations you say ahh but the 4th commandment isnt that important; we don't hafta obey that one :) Whatd Elder Perry say? "We must not pick and choose which commandments we think are important to keep but acknowledge ALL of Gods commandments. We must stand firm and stedfast havihg perfect confidence in the Lord's consistency and perfect trust in His promises. " sunday the eighth or first day,whatever mormons wanna call it is NOT the Sabbath Missionaries even told me there is no Scriptual evidence for the change in days
..isnt that we want/ desire /need ~~ a plain Thus saith the Lord??! herssy lopez Hershey Martinez
I agree that this is one of the greatest talks ever. He is right when he said “they would not do that”. Reinforces my testimony of the prophet Joseph each time I hear him say that.
I love the "Disregard all of that!"
Elder Holland comes out with the Spirit and Power of God when he speaks.
my name is Jesse linkes i want the wrold to know the book of Mormon it's touch my soul and my heart in a way that only the holy spirit can GOD bless you all.
amen
Elder Holland is just "the man", when it comes to reaching your soul!
for you pal read the top comment, and repent.
This is my favorite general conference talk of all time!!
Things got real. Love Elder Holland.
I absolutely love this message. It is bold and powerful. I remember hearing it first as a missionary, and it is still a favorite. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I love it. It is another testament of my Savior and friend, Jesus Christ.
I love elder Holland! I love being a member of the LDS Church! I love the Book of Mormon!
Very powerful talk! It IS true, this book, the Book Of Mormon. I understand that I can throw it away or live by the principles that come through it and the leaders of the church all the way down to my bishop. I truthfully agree to what has been said in this talk and bear MY testimony of the truthfulness of the book. No, it isn't wrong because I know through the Spirit of God, because I prayed about it in the first place and looked at it myself, and didn't have a challenge with it in the first place because I didn't listen to anyone about this book not being a true history, or not, I looked at this book and how it came forward and studied it and prayed and lived it and it took a bit of time and I then understood that the book was true. That is the key, don't judge the book, the person that brought it forth, or how everything was done, this book is true, the church is true AND that knowledge can be attained by ANYONE that does the same thing. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
amen! :)
Powerful!
I recall the exact location where I was sitting when I first heard this talk many years ago in a small church in the Philippines. Powerful, with honest faith, the Holy Ghost will bring the truthfulness to the hearts of all people. Until that day where every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ.
Wuuuuuuuuu!
A-Man Mr. Holland! This is the most worked up I have heard him!
Mr Holland is whom I truly aspire to be!
If I was at this particular conference, I would had stood up applauding, and not care who stared at me!
I love this talk. Read and pray about the Book of Mormon and you will understand where he is coming from. God is amazing
When I prayed about it I have never felt the spirit telling me so strongly that it was true, I felt warm and I felt peaceful and I really felt like light was inside my chest. It's true!
I was watching the news some years ago and one of the news was..." Los Arquelogos encontraron una cueva,.... they find a cave next to the pyramid on Guatemala, the cave as sealed and nobody opened before. Inside on the wall said the God die but resurrected". The science believed was made around 50 years after Christ. We have the answer on the book of Mormon.
One possibility
I have attended million dollar sales and marketing meetings, listened to some of the worlds most influencial motivational speakers, and nothing comes close to the core shattering testimony of this man. It is not so much his words, but the spiritual power behind his words. The conviction behind his testimony is not of this world, nor does it come from man. If your soul was rocked by this talk, then you are on a higher level. If you felt nothing, then you are deaf to hear the Spirit of God, and I invite you to repent and come back to the light. Then listen to this talk again, and receive the blessings these men of God are giving to those who are hungry for the Gospel.
Spoken by the spirit of the Lord what an amazing talk I'm so thankful to be a member of this church
Wow. Excited to share from 6:00 -- 12:15 with my Sunday School class tomorrow.
+Scott Rackham - I am thankful to know that the decision I made back in 2013 to upload a few of my favorite conference talks would one day be viewed thousands of times and also used in lessons. If you already have presented the lesson and I assume you have, I am glad to know.
I’m happy that this was a ready resource for church instruction
This is powerful! I love Elder Holland.
This is one of the talks I love from Elder Jeffrey R Holland. When he said " like them i give my name to the world, to witness, that i have seen and like them i lie not, God bearing witness of it ''.
Would like to add my testimony that of the amazing Elder Holland's. I know without a shadow of a doubt that this is the only true church on the face of this whole earth. I am so grateful to be a member of this amazing gospel, n i try my best to live it every day n hope and pray that i will continue to live it every day of my life!!! I love you Elder Holland and your amazing talks
i think this a most powerful talks i have ever heard. i love this talk.
I know without a doubt that the book of Mormon and the church are true.TRUTH never changes even if generations,opinions and people may change
This is such a strong testimony/talk about the Book of Mormon. It gives me chills. I still remember this conference, not a fly was flying. I thank God for Elder Holland and his testimony. The Book of Mormon is the word of God, it testifies that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and our Savior and Redeemer. I invite anyone that may be reading my words to read it and ask God. God is real and He truly loves us all.
I can listen to Elder Holland all day every day bless him 💓 🙏
I love this talk so much. Truth and encouragement, I needed this right now. Thank you for sharing.
still among my favorites
Love Elder Holland my kind of guy, says it like it is !! What great tool for our savior !!
Powerful. Thank you for your witness.
Such a powerful, and true, message. Love it!
"They would not do that."
Ashley Ingram
an Apostle of God for sure
What a powerful and beautiful testimony. Born in the spirit of truth
Im still listening this a;; the time I just love this talk so much
The powers of heaven were opened that day. Elder Holland is always a god speaker, but that talk was heavenly. Up there with McConkie's testimony the day before he died.
Really? I was told he died 3 days after that talk, I heard he went home and sat up and wouldn’t go take his suit off then finally some brethren came over and told him it was time to go lay down and he went and changed his clothes and laid down and passed away. Of course, I’m a convert so maybe I misunderstood but that was how I understood it happened
I was in the MTC when this happened. There was a tangible feeling in the air
I was blessed to be here sitting about 100 feet away and it sent shivers down my spine and it still does in 2024. I love this man so much. His testimony goes down in history as one of the greatest ever.
I came back to this talk today after watching general conference today :) hands down my favorite talk ever
Elder Holland's Great-Grandfather was George Q. Cannon.
And my great grandfather is Joseph Fielding Smith. What’s your point?
We will forever cry, “ This is the truth” forever ....
I love to hear this wonderful Elder preach. Sheer uplifting bliss. I am a Mornom.
This was a powerful talk still touchng n changing lives .......thy would not do tht means something to lds family.hw grateful we r for the book of mormon
This testimony actually gave me chills. So powerful.
Talks like these make me feel the genuine love of christ and inspire me to be the best I can and even tho I mess up sometimes I will always try to be a good person for jesus.
Thanks to you Elder Holland for putting into words what we all feel in our hearts. I wish you continued success and heavens blessings as you faithfully execute your apostleship upon this good Earth.
Talk given 7 years ago still very relevant today. We hear of a testimony given over a thousand years ago and more modern ones too and all relevant now. I add my testimony that The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and with the Bible helps us know how to become perfected in Christ through following Him and keeping His example.
I know Elder Holland is an Apostle of the Lord, and I believe His message. The Book of Mormon is tangible evidence of God's love and a second witness of our Savior Jesus Christ. I love that book with all my heart.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful and powerful talks I have ever heard.
What a great apostle of Jesus Christ. We love you Elder Holland❤
This is my favorite talk of him. I almost memorized all of it :)
BEST TESTIMONY I EVER HEARD THIS TESTIMONY CAUSE ALOT HATERS CAME OUT AGAINST AND ATTACK HIM
The word of God spoken by a man of God.
in your dreams read the top comment.
Thank you elder Holland. As has been affirmed by God Himself, "whether by my voice or the voice of my servants, it is the same."
Your unwavering testimony like the unwavering testimony of Elder Uchtdorf is always supercharged with that undeniable truth. It is rightful that the testimony of other of God's servants be referenced but your testimony is the very word of God. It is conclusive evidence of the truth incorporated therin without further attribution.
my VERY favorite talk!
Thank you for sharing this. I've been struggling spiritually for the past few months. This was one of my favorite talks when I was a missionary, and it has again brought back those sweet memories. I want to be healed and be whole again.
hey brother, here is another great talk that i think can speak to your desires www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2019/04/55mckay?lang=eng
there is no strength without struggle. opposition in all things
I Love This Man!!!!!!!!!!!
Although I already had a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith, it was cemented when I visited the Smith farm. No one would let their family go through what the Smith family did unless they were more afraid of God than man.
How my soul needed to hear this tonight. So grateful to have such a talk in times of trial.
My literal Favorite speaker. I love listening to him speak.
Very powerful and inspiring!
I love to listen to our Apostle's, and all of our 70's
That was incredible...
The thing is, every answer to any question man has is already in the scriptures waiting for them. No one has yet been able to disprove the Book of Mormon... they quote scriptures which we have RECORD of being altered by Kings to only include what they want it to include. I will never understand why someone would reject another testament which the sole purpose of is to support that Christ lives, and we can be saved through His grace. Miracles did not cease when Christ died..nor did revelation.
This testimony us what I personally have born to myself each of many times I have read it. The Book of Mormon is true and that all who believe in Christ can build upon it as a permanent foundation of eternal truth.
I aspire to have his faith. Amazing man of God.
Jeffery r Holland is such an insightful man. His talks are incredible. For those who see this, you should watch his talk “the first great commandment
My favorite conference talk of all time.
I know that because of the things I have done in my past, God hates me. But even I, with as horrible of a person that I am, can feel something when hearing this man speak
There is not a universe in this Multiverse where God hates anyone
Well done
Elder Holland: That song was the greatest sermon of this or any other conference.
*Proceeds to give the greatest sermon of this or any other conference.*
Best talk I've ever heard. I know for a fact that the Book of Mormon is true.
Powerful! 😍💗💗
Been thinking about this dream much.
This is awesome
Amazing talk! Trumps all
But we had the privilege of hearing you!!!
👍🙏🏻👍Powerful Testimony 👍🙏🏻👍
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's been roughly two hundred years since the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. The fact that it's still considered possible to have happened is amazing to me.
+Landon Bangerter The fact that people like you still haven't read it is amazing to me.
Oh I've read it. Love it. I know it's true. I just love the idea that it hasn't legitmately been disproven and that it's still considered in the realm of possibility to have happened according to the rest of the world.
Gotcha.
Landon Bangerter SOOO true
He is the boos
A hard paradigm to break?
Reminds me of the story I heard in Conference once, I think... about the death of a loved one. Where the family who knew the deceased had stories about their loved one but once presented additional stories about the man they once supposed that they knew was not readily accepted.
The man who they thought they knew had gone and experienced life and made additional friends and those friends returned to share their testimony.
God alone knows why their stories are shunned.
I've noticed that people seem super uncomfortable when hearing evidence that we live as ourselves after death, so their experience of having their stories shunned is totally normal.
It's like "there are things we don't know yet" means "we are not really allowed to know everything."
I'd like to refer these people to the story of Joseph Smith's First Vision.
Using that same section 6-12:15 today.
AMEN!
This is even MORE relatable now after his BYU address - and many members and non-members twisting his musket fire analogy against members of lgbtqia😔😢
Even Abraham, the greatest of all, paid his tithes to a man named Melchizedek, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Through the holy order of the priesthood, saving ordinances are performed/received by his faithful.
I am told often how to better worship the Christ by people who don't go to church. You aren't the first. You certainly won't be the last.
In the New Testament, we can appreciate that Jesus Christ is HE who should say... "¶Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." but giving us "REST" doesn't mean we have nothing left to do. Being an example, a light on a hill as "Lights unto the world" requires effort.
The Apostle Paul clarifies this later on and in addition to this, we read:
"Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." Hebrews 4:11
I wonder what hymn he's referring to at the beginning when he's thanking the choir...Anybody know?
song before his talk. Oct. 2009 General Conference
Right at 8:00 things get real
" A wicked man wouldn't write this book,
(The Book of Mormon)
And no good man could unless it is true"
I testify in the name of Jesus Christ
that the book of Mormon is true
Amen
It's happening
When he says "deconstructed", is he saying Derrida´s decontruction?
Anti's be like: The church/BOM are false
Elder Holland be like: Hold my lemonade
Elder Holland didn't give any substance to this talk. Just because Joseph and Hyrum went to their deaths doesn't prove the church true. This is just another rant from Mr Holland.
@@Ether-pb5gb This link isn't Hollands talk.
@@Ether-pb5gb The Book of Mormon Mr Holland is holding isn't even the same book he claims it is. He is lying
@@jamestaylor1975 I wasn't trying to give the link to Holland's talk ;)
@@Ether-pb5gb what's the point you are trying to make with the link?
I'm curious, what was the hymn the choir sang right before?
Jeffrey R Holland... the bulldog of the Lord
The statement , " I am a Mormon. " Is the very definition of your man made religion . Myself , I am a Christian . The LDS church is so lost . It is a very young church. My hope for Mormon's is they will listen and convert to Christianity. The head of the church is Jesus .GOD the SON . As a Christian I worship GOD eternal . One GOD, the only GOD . You have been blinded by a dead man . Only GOD can open your eyes . I honestly feel sorry for the LDS church. The people are beautiful . GOD loves his lost people and you are truly lost .
*sigh*
We love you Carolyn.
We're actually encouraged to say the full name of our church- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for this reason. So you have a point--we don't mean to sound like our church is the church of Mormon; we believe it is the church of Christ.
I guess feeling sorry for our church is better than nothing. If you don't believe in the LDS church then believe in Christ, and if you can believe in Christ then you can believe in the LDS church because it is His church. If your comment was uniquely placed here because you watched this talk (as opposed to shotgunning this comment on any and all LDS CZcams videos) then I encourage you to rewatch this talk with no reservations and with an open heart, just as you'd hope for any of us to do the same. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, who is at the head of our church; I suppose your comment regarding Jesus being at the head of the church is where we both agree. The Christian faiths are beautiful and full of love, and I'm glad we agree on that too.
I am a Christian and I'm a Mormon. Christ is the Son of God the Eternal Father. God sent His son to bring us great gifts, among them repentance and redemption. Mormons pray to God the Eternal Father. I invite you to further understand 'mormons' and your statement above can then be based on facts, not hearsay.

I have been listening to this dude and his colleagues speak a lot on line as of late. Iam really starting to think that this church is the real deal and not a fraud like people say. Is this all true?
I know it to be true, would you like to learn more?
@@tysonparsons3012 absolutely
There is something about these guys that keeps hanging me up. It's almost as if they actually are speaking the truth
I would love to teach you more and help answer any questions! I know these men to be divinely inspired and their message to be true. What’s the best way to get ahold of you?
Is this no joke? Please don't play a prank on me
Sometimes I think that critics of the Book of Mormon have such reckless reporting about the LDS church that the bastardized opinions get even more jumbled up until they no longer make any sense. Perhaps you refer to a statement made by a historian who wrote about Joseph Smith nearly 40 years after his death whose opinion about the prophet may seem like "him boasting" but it was never the opinion of the man but I digress.
Who wrote the Book of Mormon? His name was Mormon.
Absolutely 💯 However the Prophet Mormon compiled the records. ✊🏾
Safety and protection are from the cross, Jesus Christ shed His blood for us to take away our sin, He reconciled us with Father in heaven, He became our Priest and mediator, He is the absolute image of the invisible God, Col 1:15. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can obtain complete protection, For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, all things were created through Him and for Him, Col 1:16-17 not from a book, Jesus is sufficient.
