Matthew 21–23; Mark 11; Luke 19–20; John 12

In this episode we'll talk about Matthew 21-23, Mark 11, Luke 19-20, and John 12. We'll discuss how these readings contain multiple examples of the importance of doing and not just believing only. We'll review the account of Zacchæus, a publican and Jew, who went to extra efforts to see the Savior. His effort was rewarded by the Lord. We'll discuss how our own efforts are often rewarded, and how we are almost always required to act first before the Lord will do His part. We'll also talk about the second great commandment, and how implicit in this command is an injunction to love ourselves. We'll review how developing healthy self-love and self-compassion can help mitigate emotional and mental health issues and can help us be more kind and accepting of others.
