Brigham Young’s Thought on Relating Spiritual Experiences
Brigham Young said:
It is always peculiarly interesting to me to hear the Saints tell their experience. It is to me one of the best of sermons to hear men and women relate to each other how the Lord has wrought upon their understanding, and brought them into the path of truth, life, and salvation. I would rather hear men tell their own experience, and testify that Joseph was a Prophet of the Lord, and that the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other revelations of God, are true; that they know it by the gift and power of God; that they have conversed with angels, have had the power of the Holy Ghost upon them giving them visions and revelations, than hear any other kind of preaching that ever saluted my ears. JD 1:90-91
How to do you feel about his thought?

I, too, love to hear testimony and experiences. Some experiences, however, are too sacred or private to be shared with just anyone. Some of mine I share only 1 on 1 and only when I feel they will benefit that person. I think we will be prompted by the Holy Ghost when those times come.
