Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #37: “After Much Tribulation … Cometh the Blessing,” D&C 102-105
September 15-21The material we talk about today gives us specifics about a dramatic, heart-rending series of events from the 19 th century, but is also so relevant for our times, as if the story was written just for us. It simply could not be more to the point.

Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #36: “Be Still and Know That I Am God,” D&C 98-101
September 8-14How would it feel to move a thousand miles by foot and wagon, taking all your belongings you could carry—with a mission to gather to a specific place and build a community and society called Zion. You’ve barely been introduced to the concept of Zion—a people of one heart, striving with all their might to stay close to God and live the commandments He has given them. You’ve gathered in families and close-knit friend groups. You’ve purchased beautiful, verdant, fertile lands to build your homes and raise your crops. It’s truly an idyllic setting and situation. Except, what happens when opposition is introduced in the form of hundreds of people who don’t want you there are will do anything, including kill you, to get you out of their county?

Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #35: “For the Salvation of Zion,” D&C 94-97
September 1-7How important are temples to the Lord? When Joseph Smith was on his first mission to Missouri in the summer of 1831, only 17 months after the Church was organized, on August 3, 1831, he received a revelation about a temple to be built in Independence in Jackson County. (D&C 57:3). Then, on December 27, 1832 in Section 88 (v. 119), the Lord revealed that a temple was to be built in Kirtland. So, the Saints had been commanded to build two temples, one in Jackson County and one in Kirtland, but, honestly, in mortal eyes, it was a task that looked impossible.

Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #34: “Receive of His Fulness,” D&C 93
August 25-31In this marvelous book of scripture, the Doctrine and Covenants, we learn things that we can know from no other source, including in rich measure the doctrine of pre-mortality, that we lived with Heavenly Parents, before this world was. In this week’s lesson we will explore the purpose of mortality and this, one of the least known doctrines in the world of religion, the reality of a pre-mortal existence.

Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #33: “A Principle with Promise,” D&C 89-92
August 18-24In Section 89, the Lord gave Joseph Smith the Word of Wisdom, which we often take to be a list of dos and don’ts about how to care for our bodies, but there is more deep doctrine there then we often see, and we will share some of those ah-ha’s and surprises with you today, two of which you may have never considered before.
