Is salvation truly by grace, or is it grace after all we can do? In this video, we take a deep dive into one of the most debated verses in the Book of Mormon—2 Nephi 25:23—and compare the historical LDS interpretation with the biblical gospel.

Elder Boyd K. Packer shares some of the basic, eternal truths of the gospel that will protect us and bring us true happiness and peace. Click here to see the speech page.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy New Year!!! 2025 is under way! If you took a minute to reflect on the past year, what do you see? Do you see a year of Gaps or a year of Gains? When we are in the gap, we see where we didn't measure up.  Where we missed the mark and didn't reach the ideal or the perfect scenario.  The problem is, is it ever "just right?" Did we ever see the ideal or the perfect scenario? Gap thinking leaves us deflated, unmotivated, and unhappy. If we see a year of gains, we measure backward and see the progress we made. Even if it is little bits of progress, it is still progress. We see where we have learned, grown, and been successful. This leads us to feel more motivated, successful, and happy and to want to keep moving forward.  The beauty is we can see gains any time!   It's not IF we were successful and had gains, it's how we look at it! In today's podcast, we talk more about my favorite book "The Gap and the Gain" by Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan.  We talk about measuring our gains for the year and seeing where we saw growth, change, and learning. 2024 was an amazing year full of GAINS for every one of us!

So... there's another odd controversy afoot that really is wild and makes me appreciate Boyd K. Packer more. The woke-scolds and fake-feminists are accusing the church of DELETING COMMENTS on their "empowering women" posts. Their insightful, precious, deep, and profound commentary (also known as crybullying) is being ERASED! lol. This is real and it's demonstrably false. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wardradio/support

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.

It's finally time for our long-awaited deep dive into New Mormon History. Put simply, NMH was a movement within the history department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to confront controversial history and turn away from the apologetic and polemical Old Mormon History. The leading figure, Leonard Arrington, was the right person for the job. But, he didn't have the business chops to fight forces much larger than him in the form of Mark E. Petersen, Ezra Taft Benson, and Boyd K. Packer. The main segment is long as we chronicle the rise, fall, and resurrection of the New Mormon History movement and how the Joseph Smith Papers Project, as well as Saints: The Standard of Truth, are both the results of this movement pushing the church for academic legitimacy. In retrospect, Arrington is vindicated as an intellectual fighting for intellectual integrity while Packer spins in his grave. Then we discuss Finding Forrester as another example of the never-ending fight for academic honesty. We wrap with happy news of an invention set to tackle microplastics in our oceans.   New Mormon History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mormon_history#CITEREFQuinn1992 https://www.jstor.org/stable/45228326?seq=19#metadata_info_tab_contents https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1032&context=mormonhistory https://www.dialoguejournal.com/issues/fall-1983/ https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/assets/4836228f-48c3-447f-bcb9-9c2a35496898/0/56 https://www.librarything.com/work/7542838 https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1724&context=byusq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Morgan https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V09N01_36.pdf https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2055&context=byusq https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Mormonism_and_history/Boyd_K._Packer%27s_talk:_%22The_Mantle_is_Far,_Far_Greater_Than_the_Intellect%22#cite_ref-3 https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V16N03_11.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawn_M._Brodie https://sunstone.org/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/034-32-37.pdf https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/joseph-smith-and-the-beginnings-of-mormonism_richard-l-bushman/413785/#edition=3500292&idiq=1723338 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_R._Dyer http://www.utlm.org/newsletters/no115.htm Extra thanks to Brian Buchanan for helping piece together the main segment.

Tell us what you think of the mini-series in our Facebook group.   Welcome to the third part of our five part series on what Sarah found antithetical to living a mentally, physically and spiritually healthy life. She shares deeply with her experiences both lived, read and researched and how they were completely opposite of what the LDS church professed to be about. These issues are massive, world reaching and beyond any borders. They were unacceptable and kept her from growing into what she felt was her best self for her family, her community both local and far beyond.    Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man https://www.amazon.com/Uncomfortable-Conversations-Black-Man/dp/B08BG5QLW5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3BIBXKLSN33JV&keywords=uncomfortable+conversations+with+a+black+man&qid=1668106607&sprefix=uncomfortabl%2Caps%2C689&sr=8-1   Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad / Roughing It https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1716-travel-is-fatal-to-prejudice-bigotry-and-narrow-mindedness-and-many    Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning https://www.amazon.com/Stamped-Antiracism-National-Award-winning-Beginning/dp/0316453692/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2L4UXOEM4Z4GT&keywords=stamped&qid=1668114638&sprefix=stampe%2Caps%2C592&sr=8-1   In 1977, apostle Boyd K.

Daniel is such a great story for 21st Century Latter-day Saints. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah are young men living "behind enemy lines," as President Boyd K. Packer put it -- literally. Despite the efforts of the Babylonian government to babylonianize them, these young men provide us with the model of how to live in Babylon without sacrificing the standards of the Lord. They do a great job of holding to their standards while still building solid and healthy relationships with those that don't hold the same religious beliefs. In this episode, we dive into why staying true to our standards is so important by examining what Daniel's dedication and determination made possible for him later in life.

Marriage. By Elder Boyd K. Packer. ACU Sunday Series. Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1981/04/marriage?lang=eng The prophet Jacob foretold the destruction of a people because they were blind to ordinary things, “which blindness,” he said, “came by looking beyond the mark.” (Jacob 4:14.) We often seek for things we cannot seem to find when they are within easy reach—ordinary, obvious things. I wish to talk about an ordinary word. I have tried for months—really tried—to find some way to hold this word up in such a way that you would be very impressed with what it means. The word is marriage. I have wished that I could set before you a finely carved chest, placing it where the light is just right. I would carefully unlatch it and reverently uncover the word—marriage. Perhaps then you would see that it is priceless! I cannot show it to you that way, so I will do the best I can using other ordinary words. It is my purpose to endorse and to favor, to encourage and defend marriage. Many regard it nowadays as being, at best, semiprecious, and by some it is thought to be worth nothing at all. I have seen and heard, as you have seen and heard, the signals all about us, carefully orchestrated to convince us that marriage is out of date and in the way. There is a practice, now quite prevalent, for unmarried couples to live together, a counterfeit of marriage. They suppose that they shall have all that marriage can offer without the obligations connected with it. They are wrong! However much they hope to find in a relationship of that kind, they will lose more. Living together without marriage destroys something inside all who participate. Virtue, self-esteem, and refinement of character wither away. Claiming that it will not happen does not prevent the loss; and these virtues, once lost, are not easily reclaimed. To suppose that one day they may nonchalantly change their habits and immediately claim all that might have been theirs had they not made a mockery of marriage is to suppose something that will not be. One day, when they come to themselves, they will reap disappointment. One cannot degrade marriage without tarnishing other words as well, such words as boy, girl, manhood, womanhood, husband, wife, father, mother, baby, children, family, home. Such words as unselfishness and sacrifice will then be tossed aside. Then self-respect will fade and love itself will not want to stay. If you have been tempted to enter such a relationship or if you now live with another without marriage, leave! Withdraw from it! Run away from it! Do not continue with it! Or, if you can, make a marriage out of it. Even a rickety marriage will serve good purpose as long as two people struggle to keep it from falling down around them. And now a word of warning. One who destroys a marriage takes upon himself a very great responsibility indeed. Marriage is sacred! To willfully destroy a marriage, either your own or that of another couple, is to offend our God. Such a thing will not be lightly considered in the judgments of the Almighty and in the eternal scheme of things will not easily be forgiven. Do not threaten nor break up a marriage. Do not translate some disenchantment with your own marriage partner or an attraction for someone else into justification for any conduct that would destroy a marriage. This monumental transgression frequently places heavy burdens upon little children. They do not understand the selfish yearnings of unhappy adults who are willing to buy their own satisfaction at the expense of the innocent. God Himself decreed that the physical expression of love, that union of male and female which has power to generate life, is authorized only in marriage. Marriage is the shelter where families are created. That society which puts low value on marriage sows the wind and, in time, will reap the whirlwind—and thereafter, unless they repent, bring upon themselves a holocaust! Some think that every marriage must expect to end in unhappiness and divorce, with the hopes and dreams predestined to end in a broken, sad wreck of things. Some marriages do bend, and some will break, but we must not, because of this, lose faith in marriage nor become afraid of it. Broken marriages are not typical. Remember that trouble attracts attention! We travel the highway with thousands of cars moving in either direction without paying much attention to any of them. But should an accident occur, we notice immediately. If it happens again, we get the false impression that no one can go safely down the road. One accident may make the front page, while a hundred million cars that safely pass are not regarded as worth mentioning. Writers think that a happy, stable marriage does not have the dramatic appeal, the conflict worth featuring in a book or a play or a film. Therefore, we constantly hear about the ruined ones and we lose our perspective. I believe in marriage. I believe it to be the ideal pattern for human living. I know it to be ordained of God. The restraints relating to it were designed to protect our happiness. I do not know of any better time in all of the history of the world for a young couple who are of age and prepared and who are in love to think of marriage. There is no better time because it is your time. I know that these are very troubled times. Troubles like we have now are very hard on marriages. Do not lose faith in marriage. Not even if you have been through the unhappiness of a divorce and are surrounded with pieces of a marriage that has fallen apart. If you have honored your vows and your partner did not do so, remember God is watching over us. One day, after all of the tomorrows have passed, there will be recompense. Those who have been moral and faithful to their covenants will be happy and those who have not will be otherwise. Some marriages have broken up in spite of all that one partner could do to hold the marriage together. While there may be faults on both sides, I do not condemn the innocent one who suffers in spite of all that was desired and done to save the marriage. And to you I say, do not lose faith in marriage itself. Do not let your disappointment leave you bitter or cynical or justify any conduct that is unworthy. If you have had no opportunity for marriage or if you have lost your companion in death, keep your faith in marriage. Some years ago an associate of mine lost his beloved wife. She died after a lingering illness, and he watched in helpless agony as the doctors withdrew all hope. One day near the end she told him that when she was gone she wanted him to marry again and he was not to wait too long a time. He protested! The children were nearly grown and he would go the rest of the way alone. She turned away and wept and said, “Have I been such a failure that after all our years together you would rather go unmarried? Have I been such a failure?” In due time there came another, and their life together has reaffirmed his faith in marriage. And I have the feeling that his first beloved wife is deeply grateful to the second one, who filled the place that she could not keep. Marriage is yet safe, with all its sweet fulfillment, with all its joy and love. In marriage all of the worthy yearnings of the human soul, all that is physical and emotional and spiritual, can be fulfilled. Marriage is not without trials of many kinds. These tests forge virtue and strength. The tempering that comes in marriage and family life produces men and women who will someday be exalted. God has ordained that life should have its beginning within the protecting shelter of marriage, conceived in a consummate expression of love and nurtured and fostered with that deeper love which is accompanied always by sacrifice. Marriage offers fulfillment all the way through life—in youth and young love, the wedding and on the honeymoon, with the coming of little children and the nurturing of them. Then come the golden years when young ones leave the nest to build one of their own. The cycle then repeats itself, as God has decreed it should. There is another dimension to marriage that we know of in the Church. It came by revelation. This glorious, supernal truth teaches us that marriage is meant to be eternal. There are covenants we can make if we are willing, and bounds we can seal if we are worthy, that will keep marriage safe and intact beyond the veil of death. The Lord has declared, “For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” (Moses 1:39.) The ultimate end of all activity in the Church is that a man and his wife and their children can be happy at home and that the family can continue through eternity. All Christian doctrine is formulated to protect the individual, the home, and the family. These lines express something of the place of marriage in the eternal progress of man: We have within a burning flame, A light to kindle lights, The sacred fire of life itself, Which if misused ignites A smold'ring, suffocating cloud Of sorrow and distress. When used by law this power brings forth A life, a family, happiness. Temptors from the darkest realm Seek to pervert this power In acts of wickedness and waste Until there comes the hour Of judgment and of recompense, When bitter tears are shed O'er power once held to foster life That now is gone and dead. I know this power to be a key, A very key to God's own plan Which brings to pass eternal life And immortality for man. And marriage is the crucible Where elements of life combine, Where mortal temples are conceived Within that plan divine. Then spirit offspring of our God Can come through mortal birth To have a choice, to face the test— The purpose of our stay on earth. Here good and evil stand alike Before decision's sovereign nod. Those who elect the righteous path Will part the veil, return to God. A gift from God, the plan provides That mortal beings in humble strait Be given power, supernal power, To share their love and help create A living child, a living soul, Image of man, and of Deity. How we regard this sacred gift Will fix our course, our destiny! Eternal love, eternal marriage, eternal increase! This ideal, which is new to many, when thoughtfully considered, can keep a marriage strong and safe. No relationship has more potential to exalt a man and a woman than the marriage covenant. No obligation in society or in the Church supersedes it in importance. I thank God for marriage. I thank God for temples. I thank God for the glorious sealing power, that power which transcends all that we have been given, through which our marriages may become eternal. May we be worthy of this sacred gift, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.   EFY Medley: As Sisters in Zion & We'll Bring the World His Truth Song by Michael R. Hicks "As sisters in Zion, we'll all work together; The blessings of God on our labors we'll seek. We'll build up His kingdom with earnest endeavor; We'll comfort the weary and strengthen the weak." "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father Who loves us, and we love Him, yes, we love Him." "As sisters in Zion. As daughters of God." "We have been born, as Nephi of old, To goodly parents who loved the Lord. We have been taught, and we understand, That we must do as the Lord commands. We are as the army of Helaman. We have been taught in our youth. And we will be the Lord's missionaries To bring the world His truth." "We are as the army of Helaman. We have been taught in our youth. And we will be the Lord's missionaries To bring the world His truth." "As sisters in Zion." "A marked generation." "As children of God."

David Durfey's 39-year career with Seminaries and Institutes has included serving as a teacher for 12 years, as a region and area director, and director of the Institute at Utah Valley University. In the Church he has served as branch president of the Missionary Training Center in Provo, bishop, counselor in multiple stake presidencies, and as a patriarch. Highlights 02:00 Introduction to David Durfey 06:00 David designed an institute course on repentance and forgiveness. He tells the story of working with Elder Andersen to write the book, The Divine Gift of Forgiveness. 11:50 Repentance is NOT punishment, penalty, or payment for sin. David talks about how the meaning and translation of the word repent got misinterpreted. 13:50 While there can be pain in repentance, that pain is not repentance. The cause of the pain is the sin not the repentance. Repentance is not the suffering; it relieves the suffering. 15:50 Jesus Christ has already suffered for the sin but you will suffer because of the sin. 16:30 Repentance is not a checklist or a change of behavior. An atheist can change their behavior but that's not repentance. Repentance has to be through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. 18:30 Repentance and forgiveness is not through the Church. The Church can guide us through the process but repentance and forgiveness come solely through Jesus Christ. 19:15 Confession is not repentance. 20:10 David explains why repentance is not through the Church. 21:40 Repentance is a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance is not turning from sin but turning to Jesus Christ and beginning to live a Christlike life. 22:45 Sin hurts, not repentance. How do we shift the shame of repentance to a more hopeful outlook? It all starts with understanding the power of the Atonement. 25:00 Stopping the behavior is not going to heal the past. It has to be through Jesus Christ. 25:55 The key to repentance is first understanding the fall of Adam and Eve and that we are all sinners. 28:10 David paraphrases the words of Boyd K. Packer. The root of Christian doctrine is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Any other doctrine or teaching in the Church that does not touch that root is dead. We deal a lot with the leaves and branches in the Church but we aren't getting down to the root. 29:30 Any time we see the word "doctrines" in the scriptures it's always negative. For example, the doctrines of men. There is only ONE doctrine. That is the doctrine of Jesus Christ. 30:15 David tells about one of the most impactful experiences of his life. He was a young father serving as branch president at the missionary training center and President Packer came to speak. The main points of the talk were: You won't be judged on how many baptisms you get. Your success will be determined by what kind of parents and grandparents you are. Focus less on teaching commandments and more on teaching the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Every teaching has to be focused on Jesus Christ. 33:00 The story of Mary and Martha. The one needful thing is to know Jesus Christ. 36:30 How can we be better at focusing on Christ in our Sunday meetings and in our daily lives? David Shares D&C 6:34-37 and explains how. 43:20 Learning to forgive ourselves. If Jesus isn't going to condemn me then who am I to condemn me? We can't condemn anyone, even ourselves. 45:30 D&C 19. This scripture says that we will suffer but not for our sins. We are not capable of suffering for our own sins. 47:30 Quoting Elder Andersen's book, “If we worry whether we have paid back or suffered enough for our sins it will impede our ability to repent and feel forgiven, bringing painful discouragement with it.” 48:00 Advice to a bishop helping someone through repentance. A bishop's number one priority should be helping that individual come unto Christ and accessing the Atonement. 52:20 Not being able to participate in ordinances,

We examine the fascinating era of the 1970s feminist Mormon history studies. We focus on the central figure of Claudia Bushman and her push to build a non-existent world within Mormon studies. A group of east-coast women scholars began publishing controversial history in the form of Mormon Sisters and the resulting Exponent II quarterly journal. The official church historian, Leonard J. Arrington, encouraged and assisted where he could, but the General Authorities, especially Ezra Taft Benson, Mark E. Petersen, and Boyd K. Packer, couldn't handle the prospect of women scholars publishing in academic journals about Mormon women's issues. The retaliation, blacklisting, and PR fights quickly followed Claudia Bushman, Marueen Ursenbach Beecher, and Laurel Thatcher Ulrich as they worked to advance the burgeoning field. After that we review the movie/book Hidden Figures and discuss the new White House Press Secretary!   Links: Interview w/Claudia Bushman https://rsc.byu.edu/conversations-mormon-historians/claudia-l-bushman Some Reflections on the New Mormon History by Bob Flanders https://www.jstor.org/stable/45224462?seq=2 History of Exponent II by Carrel Hilton Sheldon https://test.exponentii.org/1999/08/27/history-by-carrel-hilton-sheldon-arlington-massachusetts/ Where to get Mormon Sisters and Confessions of a Mormon Historian https://www.benchmarkbooks.com/   MOGP:  Hidden Figures: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4846340/?ref_=tttr_tr_tt  Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race, By Margot Lee Shetterly    Happy News: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/05/lesbian-karine-jean-pierre-will-become-new-white-house-press-secretary/   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GlassBoxPod  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/glassboxpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/GlassBoxPod  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glassboxpodcast/  Merch store: https://exmomerch.creator-spring.com/ Be sure to use discount code GLASSBOX for a tithing off your order!!!

On this week's episode, Jake and Dusti talk all about pornography, specifically Mormon pornography. Not only do they talk about the fetishizing of Mormons in porn, but also how the leaders of the church demonize pornography. Things obviously get a little raunchy and end with a lovely quote from Boyd K Packer. Digressions include Paul Walker and, naturally, masturbation. The underlying theme is that everyone needs therapy. Go release your valves after you've listened to this episode!

Kris Packer has a long Mormon history. His father, Lynn is a Mormon historian, and Kris' great-uncle is apostle Boyd K. Packer.   What happens when you come out to your family as a lesbian, but as life progresses, your journey through love and connection helps you to connect the dots and come to understand that you are also transgender?   Kris had great family support through his life and even through the learning, bumpy stages, found connection and love in even the least-likely spaces.   In this episode Kris discusses his family relationship, meeting his wife Kay, working in public education—and then gender transitioning as a school principal. How does his school and students react?   This episode is part of a three-part interview. Kris's wife, Kay is episode 157 and the couple sits down together in episode 159.   #LatterGayStories #Transgender #PublicEducation #Married #MormonRoyalty   This episode is available now as a video on the LatterGayStories Facebook and YouTube pages.   

Kaylene Packer was a very normal Mormon girl. She went to church, she prayed, and she tried to hide an important part of her identity...she was really, really into girls. Growing up Latter-day Saint, you quickly learn that there isn't a road map designed to help you thrive as a closeted lesbian girl. But Kay tried. Ultimately, her journey led her to embracing who she was, to coming out, to finding love in a relationship, and then—familiar to many Latter-day Saints: breaking off that relationship to give Mormonism another chance. Kay's story is deep and full of twists—including marrying her wife, a niece of apostle, Boyd K. Packer. And then Kay's wife eventually coming out to her as a transgender man. Together, Kay and Kris navigated a new dynamic in their marriage. Join us for this special three-part interview series. The next three Latter Gay Stories episodes are Kay's story, her spouse, Kris' story, and finally an interview together, as a couple. #LatterGayStories #Lesbian #GayMormon #FIndingLove #BreakingTheShell

If you made no decisions by yourself and simply did what someone else told you to do, would that fulfill God's plan for you? Would you learn what you were meant to learn? I think the answer is no. I think God wants us to exercise our agency and learn by experience. This means we must allow ourselves to FEEL, and be connected to our bodies.  "True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behaviors." I think this means "true doctrine, EXPERIENCED, changes attitudes and behaviors." And changing attitudes and behaviors by experiencing true doctrine, brings us closer to God. This is repentance. Listen in to this episode to experience what I mean. :-) Full Show Notes Book a free Session

As a practicing artist his paintings center on religious themes, including underrepresented events in Church history. Anthony and his wife Cindy are the parents of seven children. He is currently serving as bishop of his ward. Highlights 1:45 Kurt and Anthony discuss his books about the temple and covenants 4:15 What can we talk about outside the temple? Most members are scared to talk about what goes on inside the temple because they don't know what's appropriate. 8:30 Anthony talks about what he does as a Bishop to help people get ready to go to the temple and receive their endowment. 14:20 What to focus on when teaching about the covenants made in the temple. Make sure people have a great foundation. 18:30 Most religions aren't talking about covenants. 20:15 The order of the son of God is a covenant group of people that are given power and capacity in their lives to overcome evil, to discern between right and wrong, to call down the ministering of angels, to know how to ask and receive revelation, part the veil, etc. 23:30 Covenants guarantee the future behavior of the participants. We are not making covenants for that moment but for future moments. 24:45 Listen to your covenants more than the state of your emotions. Your covenants will tell you what to do. 28:30 How to answer people's questions after they go through the temple. What is ok to talk about? 31:00 The five laws or major covenants of the temple 33:00 Seeing the big picture of the five laws. You are entering into an order which means that you are patterning your life after the son of God. 35:00 The first law is obedience to the law of the Lord. The law is a little different depending on the time that you are living. 36:00 The law of the gospel. Faith in Christ, repentance, baptism, and receiving the holy ghost. This law sanctifies us and purifies us. 37:25 The law of sacrifice. The release of the unholy. Letting go of the things that are keeping us back from the kingdom. It's not about dying for the church but letting go of the natural man. 38:25 The law of chastity. It's not just about sex. It's about trust. Can I be trusted with power and the power to create? God is in perfect control of his power. He knows how to control his power and passion. If we want to be like him we must do the same. 42:00 The law of consecration. There is confusion between the law of consecration and the applications of the law. We are covenating to dedicate our time, talents, and means to the kingdom of God. 46:00 Part of the law of consecration is not to have to be told to do everything. We should be anxiously engaged in a good cause and do things of our own free will. 47:45 Garments are a very personal thing. As a leader you should teach the doctrine and not focus so much on the behavior. “True doctrine understood changes attitudes and behavior.” Boyd K Packer. 53:00 The temple is a house of progression. It's a house for revelation.

In this greatest hits episode, Todd, Alia and Rivka discuss the iconic talk, "Spiritual Crocodiles" by Elder Boyd K. Packer from the April 1976 General Conference.

A few years ago I read an incredible book by Wendy Ulrich called, “ Live up to our Privileges“. She talked about the differences between a powerful teacher and an empowering and unifying teacher. In this episode today I share with you the differences. We are all teachers and have an opportunity to bless the lives of God's children. Our opportunity to teach on a regular basis in our homes and our wards allows us to progress and learn to teach in the Saviors way. “When we begin to analyze ourselves and look to improve ourselves as teachers, what better model could we find? What finer study could we undertake than to analyze our ideals and goals and methods and compare them with those of Jesus Christ?” (Boyd K. Packer, Teach Ye Diligently, rev. ed. [1991], 22). bethnewellcoaching@gmail.com

The Lord called many in the early Restored Church to obtain and share a "witness" of the unfolding work. Today, we are likewise called to witness; however, our testimonies can sometimes be overlaid and overcomplicated with tradition, culture, trite phrases, or misunderstandings. In this episode we study Doctrine & Covenants 14-17 in search of clear truths about witnessing as we invite you to ponder your own witness and where the Lord would have you share it.

In today's episode I talk about an experience that I had with CO or Carbon Monoxide and promptings of the Spirit. Also, as a heads up, I was called to be the bishop of our ward here in Port Angeles a couple weeks ago and funny enough, I have not had much free time since then. I just want to let the Rocky Mountain Sunshine Podcast listeners know that I may not be able to keep up a weekly podcast. I'll keep trying to put out episodes, but if you see that I go a week or two or more without publishing anything, just smile and know that I'm serving in my calling and spending time with my family. I really love doing this podcast, but it turns out I need sleep. So I'm limited to the time available during the week and I want to spend some time with my family, keeping what's most important my top priority. President Boyd K. Packer said, “We do not have the words—even the scriptures do not have the words—which perfectly describe the Spirit. The scriptures usually use the word voice. That does not exactly fit—it does, but it doesn't. These very delicate, fine spiritual communications are not seen with our eyes nor heard with our ears; it is a voice that one feels more than hears.” President Packer also taught: “Inspiration comes more easily in peaceful settings. The Savior said in D&C 50:24, “He that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day” The Spirit communicates with people in different ways. In Section 6 of the Doctrine and Covenants talk about how it can enlighten your mind or speak peace to your mind. For me, often I get nudges or promptings. I can't say that I've always followed them. But I'm glad when I do. As a newly called bishop, already I have had promptings as the Spirit has been directing me. Something that happened recently, which has never happened before in my life, As I was praying in the morning a specific name came to me from our ward, and I was told by the Spirit to pray for this person. That was a first. I hope to be able to be in tune with the Spirit to continue to be guided like that. The story I wanted to share today frightens me when I think back to it.
