In this episode of Thinking Celestial, Dr. Kirk Burbidge is joined by Dr. Matt Merrill to discuss Elder Michael B. Strong’s April 2025 talk, “Charity: A Sign of True Discipleship.” Together, they explore how charity is more than kindness—it's the essence of becoming a deliberate disciple of Jesus Christ. The conversation highlights how intentional acts of love, patience, and forgiveness shape our spiritual identity.
