Description

In this entertaining and inspirational talk, Brother Smith explains the importance of "breaking up" with the things of the world that keep us from getting closer to the Savior.

For some people these things may be TV shows or other media that off ends the Spirit. For others it may be an unhealthy relationship or obsessive comparisons and competitions. Using his trademark humor and stories, Brother Smith teaches us to "lay aside the things of this world, and seek for the things of a better" (D& C 25:10). Break Up With the World is a talk youth will relate to and the whole family will enjoy.
