Description
John Hilton III was born in San Francisco and grew up in Seattle. He served a mission in Denver, and got a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University. While there he met his wife Lani and they have six children. They have lived in Boise, Boston, Miami, Mexico, Jerusalem and China. John has a master's degree from Harvard and a Ph.D from BYU, both in Education. John is a professor of Religious Education at BYU.
John has published several books with Deseret Book, including Considering the Cross: How Calvary Connects Us with Christ. He is also the author of the video course and podcast “Seeking Jesus.” John loves teaching, reading and spending time with his family.
Highlights
3:30 Kurt and John talk about John's new course, Seeking Jesus.
5:30 Jesus should be at the center of our lives. Sometimes we focus on other parts of the gospel and forget that He comes first.
9:40 How do we make sure that Christ is at the center?
16:00 What if we didn’t just focus on scripture study but Christ study? What if we didn't just go to the temple to focus on the ordinance but focus on how it connects us to Christ?
17:50 The sacrament can be an ordinance that becomes very commonplace that we forget to focus. There needs to be a mindset shift to make it a worshiping moment.
19:00 If you are looking for a way to grow and worship Christ then take President Nelson’s challenge. Read all the verses in the topical guide about Jesus Christ. The promise is that you will be changed.
21:45 How can we make Come Follow Me more meaningful? In every story we need to figure out how it connects to Christ.
25:55 Where is your hope centered? There are so many things that we hope for but our real hope should be centered on Jesus Christ.
27:00 John breaks down what people will learn in his new course.
30:00 John gives his book recommendations on Jesus Christ from authors from other religions.
31:15 Our time at church is limited so everything that we speak about needs to be connected to the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
