Recently I was reminded of Elder Holland's April 1998 General Conference talk titled "A Teacher Come From God". It is a talk that was given soon after President Hinckley expressed that each member of the Church needs a friend, a responsibility, and nourishment by the good word of God. I took the time to listen to the talk, which led to me reading the talk, which led to me reading the talk again. It's an Elder Holland classic, but what talk of his isn't an Elder Holland classic? As I read this talk I was captivated by his phrasing, including, "Are we really nurturing our [members] in a way that will sustain them when the stresses of life appear? Or are we giving them a kind of theological Twinkie—spiritually empty calaries?"
