• D&C 98-101 - Peace in Affliction

  Have you ever felt wronged and wanted justice? Do you struggle to balance family and Church callings? And what is the real reason for suffering in our lives? D&C 98-101 offers profound and often surprising answers to these questions, giving us a blueprint for peace in a world of contention. Summary: In this episode, we tackle four remarkable revelations. We start with D&C 98 and the "Lord's Law of War," learning when to patiently endure and when to stand. We'll explore the difference between being justified and being sanctified and discover why the Lord commands us to "renounce war and proclaim peace." Next, D&C 100 provides a powerful message for every parent and leader: "your families are well; they are in mine hands." This revelation gives us comfort and direction on balancing our most important responsibilities. We then dive into D&C 101, which reveals why the Saints suffered such intense persecution in Missouri—as a consequence of their own sins, including "jarrings, and contentions, and envyings". The Lord, however, promises to remember mercy in the day of wrath. We'll discuss the parable of the nobleman and the servants who asked, "what need hath my lord of this tower?" This serves as a powerful warning against second-guessing God's counsel. Amidst the chaos, D&C 101 offers incredible hope, redefining Zion as "the pure in heart," and promising that Zion "shall not be moved". Finally, we'll examine the Lord's "strange act" and His role in establishing the Constitution. Call-to-Action: What insights did you gain from the Lord's law of war and peace?

• D&C 94-97 - Building a Zion People

  Is Zion a geographical location or a state of being? Can you be "walking in darkness at noon-day"? And what does it mean to be chastened by a loving God? D&C 94-97 answers these questions and more, offering powerful lessons on building God's kingdom—and ourselves—according to His patterns. Summary: In this episode, we explore four short but impactful sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. We begin with D&C 94, focusing on the Lord's emphasis on following His "pattern" for our lives and the building of His kingdom. Next, we confront the "tough love" of D&C 95, where the Saints are chastened for their "very grievous sin" of neglecting the Kirtland Temple. We'll unpack the concept of "walking in darkness at noon-day" and how we can avoid sins of omission. We'll also discuss the promise of an endowment of "power from on high" and the need to remove the "incumbrances" or obstacles to God's work, as revealed in D&C 96. Finally, we turn to D&C 97, which addresses the Saints in Zion as they faced intense persecution. We'll learn about obedience that requires sacrifice and the powerful truth that "this is Zion—the pure in heart." We'll see that building Zion is about becoming a people worthy of the place, and that opposition often precedes God's greatest blessings.

• D&C 93 - True Worship

  What if your understanding of God, Jesus, and even yourself is incomplete? Doctrine and Covenants Section 93 is a theological masterclass, offering mind-blowing insights that will deepen your relationship with the Divine and help you find your purpose. In this episode, we tackle the profound and beautiful theology of D&C 93. We begin by exploring the incredible promise that we can "see my face and know that I am" by following five simple steps. Next, we analyze the principle of "grace for grace," revealing how even Jesus Christ grew in His divinity and set a pattern for our own eternal progression. We'll discuss how the highest form of worship is emulation—striving to become like our Heavenly Parents and the Savior. Then, we dive into the core doctrine that "the glory of God is intelligence". We'll explore two layers of this truth: first, as the acquisition of knowledge , and second, as our eternal, co-existent nature with God. This leads to the remarkable revelation about the innocence of man at birth. Finally, we’ll bring it all home with the Lord's direct counsel to Church leaders—and to all of us—to "set in order your own house" and prioritize the most important work we will ever do: raising our families.

• D&C 89-92 - Words of Wisdom

  Is the Word of Wisdom just a list of "don'ts"? What does the Lord really expect of us when it comes to what we consume, spiritually and physically? D&C 89-92 answers these questions and more, offering a powerful blueprint for health, wisdom, and eternal progression. Summary: In this episode, we'll dive deep into four brief but impactful sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. We begin with a fresh look at the Word of Wisdom in D&C 89, revealing it as a "principle with promise" for the "weak" and a shield against the "evils and designs of conspiring men." We'll explore the often-overlooked "do's" of the revelation and what it truly means to receive "health in their navel and marrow to their bones." Next, we turn to D&C 90, which outlines the ongoing mission of the First Presidency and the incredible counsel to "study and learn" from "all good books." We’ll use the concept of becoming "bilingual" to understand our charge to share the gospel in a way others can comprehend. We'll also examine the humility of prophets, who are "admonished in all your high-mindedness and pride," and learn from the inspiring story of Vienna Jaques's selfless consecration. Finally, we tackle the fascinating revelation on The Apocrypha in D&C 91, which provides a universal key for discerning truth in a world of information: "the Spirit manifesteth truth." We'll conclude with D&C 92, a reminder of the mutual responsibility between new and established members to be both "received" and "lively." This is a video you won't want to miss!

• D&C 88 - Deep Doctrine

  What if there's a divine "olive leaf" of peace from God, revealing profound truths about Christ, our eternal potential, and how to prepare for His glorious return? This video unlocks D&C 88! Summary: Doctrine & Covenants 88, often called the "Olive Leaf" plucked from the Tree of Paradise, is a comprehensive revelation offering God's message of peace and preparation for the last days. This video delves into its multifaceted teachings: The Light of Christ (88:3-13, 40): Discover Jesus Christ as the omnipresent "light of truth," the "other Comforter," and the very "life, law, and power" that governs all things in the universe—from the sun and moon to the earth itself [cite: 88:6-13]. This light enlightens our understandings and helps us see everything else, truly revealing that "light cleaveth unto light" [cite: 88:40]. The Spirit and the Body (88:14-20, 28-31): Learn the profound truth that "the spirit and the body are the soul of man" [cite: 88:15], emphasizing the vital importance of the physical resurrection for a fullness of joy. We explore how even "Mother Earth" will be sanctified and crowned with glory, prepared for celestial beings, and how our resurrected bodies will be quickened by the glory we are willing to receive [cite: 88:17-20, 28-31]. Willingness to Receive (88:32-33): Understand that God gives according to our willingness. We often limit the infinite goodness of God by our own unwillingness to open our arms and hearts to His gifts, preventing us from rejoicing fully in both the gift and the Giver [cite: 88:32-33]. The Power of Law (88:22-26, 34-39): Explore how divine law governs, preserves, perfects, and sanctifies all things. Only by abiding in celestial law can we abide celestial glory. The earth itself serves as an example, fulfilling the measure of its creation by obeying celestial law [cite: 88:25-26, 34]. Every kingdom in the universe operates by its own specific laws, emphasizing that there's no escaping the principle of law [cite: 88:36-39]. A Universe of Other Sheep (88:45-62): Gain an expanded vision of God's vast creations. Through a profound parable, learn that Christ not only created and redeems "worlds without number" but also visits them all in "his hour, and in his time, and in his season" [cite: 88:56-58]. This highlights God's personal attention to all His children across the immensity of space. House of Glory (88:87-120): Discover the Lord's blueprint for preparing for the Second Coming. This includes a call to solemn assembly, diligently seeking wisdom from "best books" by study and faith, and organizing and establishing a "house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God" – ultimately referring to the Temple and its transformative power [cite: 88:117-120]. The School of the Prophets (88:77-81, 122-133): Understand God's command to teach one another diligently the doctrine of the kingdom, encompassing both religious and secular knowledge. This "celestial curriculum" prepares us to "magnify the calling" whereunto we are called and to warn our neighbors. The video concludes with the beautiful order of the School of the Prophets, emphasizing that true education is a relationship built on prayer, salutation, and an "unchangeable" bond of charity [cite: 88:77-81, 122-133]. This video is a powerful invitation to embrace God's expansive truths and prepare ourselves for the glory that awaits. Call-to-Action: Which aspect of D&C 88 resonated most deeply with you?
