Inspirational


Day of Faith: Personal Quests for a Purpose - 3. Rachel Esplin from Harvard Hillel on Vimeo.

"A few months ago a panel representing a variety of religious outlooks was convened at Harvard and moderated by The Washington Post's, Sally Quinn. On that panel was Harvard junior, Rachel Esplin, from Blackfoot, Idaho, president of the Latter-day Student Association on campus and a member of the Interfaith Council.
Seasoned journalist, Sally Quinn is a tough questioner and asked Rachel questions about whether the Church was a cult, were women treated unequally, why the secrecy surrounding the temple, what are garments, and much more.
What is fascinating about this video is the aplomb with which Rachel answers the questions, neither shrinking nor apologizing before Quinn's questions, and feeling free to assert her testimony, a remarkable quality in one so young put on the spot." (taken from the Bostonian Bishops blog- thanks Rachael!)

It's a long but wonderful video if you are in need of a spiritual thought for the day.

This woman is inspirational to me. I hope that I can testify of my faith as beautifully and eloquently as this young woman does, in my lifetime. Her parents must be so proud! What a beautiful daughter of Heavenly Father.
