@bmariner@the_jake_bastow Per the handbook: "Men are ordained high priests when they are called to a stake presidency, high council, or bishopric. They may also be ordained at other times as determined by the stake president through prayerful consideration and inspiration."
@the_jake_bastow@BednarDavidA I learned this from my mission president 30 years ago...he told us we do not need to defend the gospel but proclaim it. It's a subtle but powerful distinction.
I mapped every AI automation opportunity across 25 industries.
10-15 pain points each. With the exact positioning, pricing range, and who to sell to.
This took me 4 years and 80+ client engagements to figure out.
A lot of AI agencies pick a niche and pray.
They don't know the actual pain points.
They don't know who the buyer is.
They don't know what these companies are already paying for broken solutions.
They don't know what the realistic project size is.
So they end up competing on price for generic "AI automation" gigs.
I've worked with marketing agencies, recruiting firms, e-commerce brands, law firms, real estate companies, healthcare practices, financial services, SaaS companies, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and more.
Every single one has 10-15 processes that are bleeding money because they're still done manually.
Here's what the guide covers for each industry:
→ The top 10-15 automation pain points (ranked by ROI)
→ Who the actual buyer is (CEO, COO, ops manager, etc.)
→ What they're currently paying for manual labor or broken SaaS
→ Realistic project pricing ($5K-$60K+ depending on scope)
→ The discovery questions that unlock the deal
→ How to position yourself as the expert even if you've never worked in that industry
→ Red flags to avoid (industries and company sizes that aren't worth it)
25 industries and 300+ specific automation opportunities.
This is the cheat code for picking your niche and knowing exactly what to sell before you ever get on a call.
Like + RT + reply "NICHE" and I'll send you the full guide (Must be following so I can DM)
@_CoryBowen AoF #3 explains it best: it is "through the Atonement of Christ" AND "by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel". That is how one achieves full salvation. It is not one without the other.
@Latterdaytruth Good question. Ultimately scripture is a living thing and we should not have to be compelled in all things (many people feel compelled to accept as doctrine if it's canonized, and otherwise it doesnt have the same weight...like the Family Proclamation)
@joshnaa2gez Thanks for saying what I must stop claiming lol...how about you stick to Article of Faith #11. You have no idea what you are talking about.
@josephtrimmer See D&C 10:67-68 for how the Lord defines His church ("...whosoever repenteth and cometh unto me, the same is my church..."). ANY organization that doesn't promote coming unto Him in the way He has prescribed is part of the devil's church.
@hankrsmith This actually sums up my problem with BYU football fans (speaking as a lifelong member)...it is NOT the Lord's football team. Please stop acting like it is!
@Braveheart_USA Agreed. Joseph Smith said this: "This generation is as corrupt as the generation of the Jews that crucified Christ; and if He were here to-day, and should preach the same doctrine He did then, they would put Him to death."
@ldslaw Why must members question church leaders on public forums? If you have issues...work them out privately. It does way more harm than good in my view.
