In this episode we'll talk about concepts related to Easter and the Atonement, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Instead of reviewing the scriptures from that period of the Lord's mortal ministry (which we will review at a later date), we'll discuss related concepts. We'll talk about the idea of rejuvenation and rebirth, and how the Savior can help us rise from our difficulties to become new creatures. We'll also discuss the concept of hope and review several scriptures on this topic. We'll learn how hope helps us manage our difficulties, look forward to better times, and helps provide the strength to see challenges as growth opportunities.
