Here are a few paraphrased points I captured while listening:
When we jump off a cliff, freedom ends abruptly, but a harness attached to a cord makes us free to fall without dieing.
Rules are the harness which keeps us from dieing when we fall.
The everyday mood of a person following the Gospel of Jesus Christ is what everybody else would be willing to pay big money for.
All you need to do to have a good day is to have a memory.
Those who drink alcohol to be happy are always taking about the next party and not the last one, because they can not remember being happy at the last one....
The Gospel of Jesus Christ isn't keeping us from something; it's giving us something... a memory.
Morality or immorality becomes apparent on our wedding day. Morality has something to give, while immorality only has something to take.
God is not keeping you from something, he's giving you the recipe for a happy life.
We do not pray because we are worthy; we pray because we need help.
Using the analogy of making a mistake while saying the sacrament prayer and turning to the bishop for approval and saying it over until it is right, Brad said that when we make a mistake in our lives we, we should turn to the bishop and do it over until we get it right.
Worthiness is not perfection; it is honest trying.
Our goal is not just to come unto Christ, but to become like Christ.
He can help us become like Him, when we come unto Him. It is a beautiful circle!
The Atonement is about transformance.
Don't go bungy jumping without the harness!
When we do there is something there to catch us.
When we fall from Grace, it is Grace which picks us up! <3
