Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Matt Townsend, Third Nephi 17 to 19.

Matt, I noticed the phrase that comes up frequently,

3 Nephi 11, and here again, 3rd Nephi 21 here again 3521 one by one that we have a Savior who is very

focused on individuals. Matt in your your work, it seems, at least in my own family, that if I try to teach my children all the same,

doesn't work.

It worked on the first one. Why is this not work me on the second one?

Or my students even, or coworkers. What does the Savior may be trying to teach or what does he like

when he does this one by one

ministering it's not really a drive-by let me get everybody no which tells us

it's not a list it's not a requirement it It's a development. It's a becoming. It has to be individually

sculpted and tutored to the needs of the learner. What I think there is about that, there must be some eternal principle

about the intelligence one by one and the power of, if we're all going to kneel individually, then that kneeling individually

is the one by one.

What I think it also delineates is that we aren't just a group of people.

There are no mere mortals.

We are these eternal beings with the potential to create infinite life and opportunity.

There's something about seeing the individual nature of every person and being willing to

individually work with each person that is part of the

the eternal progression that needs to be done. I don't think we can do it in group or in

sync. And the danger comes when we generalize when we put everybody in a category all women are this way all men are this way all

political party this way or that way

Yeah, it's not real and what it also does is it's short circuits, the individual relationship
