Brother Blake Dalton, the newest addition to the Taylorsville Institute faculty, joins Dr. Kirk Burbidge for a thoughtful discussion on the childlike joy that should accompany our discipleship in Christ. Together, they explored the profound insights shared in President Jeffrey R. Holland’s April 2025 general conference address, As a Little Child, reflecting on how embracing humility, faith, and pure-hearted enthusiasm strengthens our relationship with the Savior. Their conversation underscored the importance of fostering a sense of wonder and trust in the Lord, drawing parallels between the attributes of a child and the principles of faithful discipleship.
