Question: What doth the conclusion the Lord's prayer teach us? Answer: The conclusion of the Lord's prayer, which is, "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever, Amen." teacheth us, to take our encouragement in prayer from God only, and in our prayers to praise him, ascribing kingdom, power and glory to him. And, in testimony of our desire, and assurance to be heard, we say, Amen.

Ben Schilaty, a former BYU Honor Code administrator, is a social work professor and author who discusses his life as a gay Latter-day Saint. He details his professional background, and his current work with the Gather Conference. Schilaty shares his personal faith journey, explaining how he reconciles his sexual orientation with his commitment to the Church through prayer and personal revelation. He advocates for radical empathy and honoring the individual agency of LGBTQ members, whether they choose to stay in or leave the faith. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of sincere listening and building supportive communities where diverse experiences are validated. https://youtu.be/EzjYxEAfsYs Don’t miss our other LDS Faith Journeys: https://gospeltangents.com/tag/lds-faith-journeys/ Ben Schilaty: Navigating Faith and Identity Ben Schilaty is a professor of social work at Utah Valley University and author of A Walk in My Shoes. He shared a deeply personal look at his life as a gay Latter-day Saint. Schilaty, who humorously describes himself as “fame-ish” due to the parasocial relationships readers and listeners have formed with him, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith, identity, and belonging. Journey of Three Stages Ben describes his internal journey in three distinct phases. In his 20s, he felt “broken” and believed he needed to be “fixed” to fit the mold of a traditional Latter-day Saint marriage. In his early 30s, the pendulum swung, and he felt that if he couldn’t change, perhaps the Church had to change. Today, he focuses on “living in what is,” a practice of accepting reality as it is to find health and happiness. A pivotal moment in this journey occurred when Ben nearly left the Church after a painful heartbreak. Despite his parents' full support and their promise to honor his agency regardless of his choice, a prayerful encounter with Matthew 26 changed his path. Reflecting on Christ's prayer in Gethsemane, Ben felt a “clear and very annoying prompting” that his “cup” was to live his life within the teachings of the Church—a choice that transformed his religious practice from a burden into something life-giving. BYU Honor Code Providing a rare look into his four years as an Honor Code administrator at BYU, Ben dispels common myths about the office. While many assume the office is preoccupied with “morality” or LGBTQ+ issues, Ben notes that same-sex romantic behavior reports were uncommon, occurring only about ten times a year. Instead, the vast majority of his work involved academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and timecard theft. Building Bridges: The Gather Conference Ben is a co-founder of the Gather conference, a Christ-centered support system for LGBTQ+ Latter-day Saints and their allies. He describes it as a “middle space” compared to other organizations like Affirmation or Northstar. Gather serves a diverse group—about 80-90% of whom are active in the Church—including those in same-sex marriages, those choosing celibacy, and parents or leaders seeking to understand their loved ones better. Radical Acceptance and the Power of Story A major theme of the discussion was radical acceptance and honoring the agency of others. Ben emphasizes that: Listening is a Christlike act: Allies should listen to and validate the pain of those who feel they must leave the Church for their mental health. Forgiveness brings peace: Ben shared a powerful story of inviting a former Stake President over for dinner to find personal peace after a disagreement regarding his temple recommend. Prescription for Revelation: He warns against using his story as a “blueprint” for others, noting that God speaks to us as individuals and we each have our own “prescription” for personal revelation. Ben’s final invitation to the audience is simple: instead of just reading his book or listening to his podcast, invite the LGBTQ+ people in your own life to tell you their stories.

What is truth?—and can we known it? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Mark Farnham, Dr. David Saxon, and Dr. Michael S. Jones to explore the study of knowledge—how we know what we know—and how beliefs are justified within a Christian worldview. Drawing from the book Talking About Worldviews: A Conversational Introduction to Thinking Philosophically, this discussion tackles foundational questions such as:• Is there objective truth?• What is the correspondence theory of truth?• What is the difference between belief and truth?• What does it mean for a belief to be justified?• Is evidentialism sufficient for Christian belief? • What are presuppositionalism, fideism, existentialism, irrationalism, and reliabilism?• How does postmodernism challenge traditional views of truth? The conversation also addresses:• The noetic effects of sin • The role of the Holy Spirit in understanding truth• The relationship between apologetics and epistemology • Whether Christians need formal philosophical training• Why logic and critical thinking matter for believersIf you've ever heard phrases like “my truth,” “your truth,” or wondered how Christians should think about evidence, science, and belief—this episode is for you. This discussion will strengthen your understanding of truth, knowledge, and how to confidently and humbly defend the Christian faith.

Farnham – Professor of Apologetics, Lancaster Bible College-Dr. David Saxon – Professor of Church History, Maranatha Baptist University

With the expected influx of ordinations to the priesthood hoping to keep up with the recent surge of new converts coming into Orthodox parishes, many new priests will be stepping into pulpits (metaphorical or otherwise) to preach. Given the importance of preaching in the life of a parish (St. John Chrysostom knows what I mean), I am surprised at how comparatively little importance it is given in some places. When I was in seminary back in the Jurassic period we had many, many classes on the Old and New Testament each year, many offerings of Church History, many classes in Theology, but only one class on Homiletics. One asks: what's the point of learning all that other stuff if you can't effectively share it?

We started listening to the cross-examination in the debate over the "Great Apostasy" that took place back in December between Jacob Hansen and Joe Heschmeyer. This is allowing us to delve into Mormonism, Roman Catholicism, Church History, and a lot more, in a really enjoyable, organic way. We will continue the review in the upcoming programs!

In this final episode of the Church History Matters Science and Religion series, hosts Casey Griffiths and Scott Woodward sit down with BYU religion professor Ben Spackman, whose groundbreaking dissertation explores the historical relationship between science, the Bible, evolution, and Latter-day Saint thought. Together they trace how interpretations of Genesis, debates over Darwinian evolution, and shifting cultural pressures shaped conversations among members and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From early 20th-century tensions to more nuanced modern approaches, this episode carefully unpacks how Saints have wrestled with questions at the intersection of revelation and reason. Casey, Scott, and Professor Spackman examine the divide between “fundamentalist” and “modernist” approaches to scripture—exploring how different assumptions about prophetic authority, biblical literalism, and scientific discovery have influenced Latter-day Saint perspectives. Rather than framing science and faith as enemies, the discussion highlights the importance of historical context, careful interpretation, and intellectual humility. As the capstone to the series, this episode invites listeners to approach both scripture and science with faith, patience, and a deeper understanding of how past conversations can inform present discipleship.

Question: What do we pray for in the third petition? Answer: In the third petition, which is, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," we pray, That God, by his grace, would make us able and willing to know, obey, and submit to his will in all things, as the angels do in heaven.

Are we living Christ, not just preaching Him? Robert Chapman, called “the saintliest man” by Charles Spurgeon, lived a quiet yet powerful life marked by humility, love, and a deep commitment to live for Christ. He gave up personal rights, pursued unity without compromise, and served the poor and the lost with Christlike love. His life reminds us that true gospel witness flows not from fame, but from faithfully living Christ before others.

Title: The Bold and the Beautiful GateScripture Reading: Acts 4:5-22Series: Be Bold!Are you willing to slay your reputation for the sake of boldly doing the Lord's will? Drawing inspiration from the life of William Wilberforce, this message explores what it means to speak the truth regardless of personal risk. By examining the account of Peter and John before the temple council, we see that true biblical boldness is modeled through three specific pillars. First, we must take Bold Action that brings glory to God rather than seeking worldly validation or personal prestige. Second, we are called to make a Bold Announcement, ensuring that our actions and our courage are explicitly connected to the name and power of Jesus. Finally, we must operate under Bold Authority, choosing to obey the heavenly King even when facing direct opposition or threats from earthly powers. We must ensure our boldness is animated by the Holy Spirit and aimed at the glory of Jesus, choosing to suffer for doing good rather than being punished for doing wrong.

The book of Acts is the narrative of the work of the Spirit among the first century believers when the Kingdom of God expanded from one ethnic group to many. This moment in Church History established the pattern for how God equips and empowers His people to be His witnesses in such a way that engages the culture for its redemption and restoration.

William Tyndale risked everything to put God's Word in your hands — and his final prayer was answered fast.This episode is a deep-dive, spy-thriller style story of William Tyndale: the scholar-fugitive who made the English New Testament a “dangerous object” in the 1520s–30s.We trace why translation was illegal, how the Bible was smuggled into England, and how a few “simple word choices” threatened an entire power system. In the end, Tyndale's death becomes a shocking victory — and a challenge for us today to actually read the Word we have so easily.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNThe Outlawed Word: Why church and state treated translation and even reading as heresy.The Laws of Fire: The Constitutions of Oxford (1408) and “De heretico comburendo.”The Ploughboy Prophecy: Tyndale's mission to put Scripture in ordinary hands.The Smuggling Networks: Printing raids, merchant allies, and the “Packington scheme.”The War of Words: Why “congregation,” “elder,” “repent,” and “love” shook the system.Betrayal & Martyrdom: Henry Phillips, the dungeon letter, and Tyndale's final prayer.The KJV Legacy: How Tyndale's phrasing fundamentally shaped the King James Version.CONNECT & RESOURCESBlog: https://conradrocks.netBook: Open Your Eyes https://amzn.to/3RJx7byBook: Night Terror https://amzn.to/3XRFohlAmazon Ministry List https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2GSBT99APHFQR?ref_=wl_share

Question: What doth the preface of the Lord's prayer teach us? Answer: The preface of the Lord's prayer, which is, "Our Father which art in heaven," teacheth us to draw near to God with all holy reverence and confidence, as children to a father, able and ready to help us; and that we should pray with and for others.

What is a logical fallacy? What is a sound argument? And, why does it matter for Christians today? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by the co-authors of Talking About World Views: A Conversational Introduction to Thinking Philosophically for a powerful discussion on logic, logical fallacies, and sound reasoning in a confused culture.Featuring:-Michael Jones – Professor of Philosophy & Religion, Liberty University-Mark J. Farnham – Professor of Apologetics, Lancaster Bible College-David Saxon – Professor of Church History, Maranatha Baptist UniversityTogether, they explore:✔️ What a worldview is—and why everyone has one✔️ Why logic is foundational for defending the Christian faith ✔️ The difference between factual mistakes and logical fallacies ✔️ Common fallacies like: Ad Hominem Straw Man Appeal to Authority Appeal to Pity Genetic Fallacy Red Herring Self-Referential Incoherence✔️ How to construct sound deductive and inductive arguments✔️ Why truth corresponds to reality ✔️ How Christians can argue graciously, clearly, and persuasivelyIn a world shaped by expressive individualism, emotional reasoning, and intellectual shortcuts, this conversation equips believers to think critically and biblically. As C.S. Lewis famously emphasized, Christianity is not something we would have invented—it confronts us with reality. Whether you're a pastor, Bible teacher, seminary student, homeschool parent, or simply someone who wants to strengthen your reasoning skills, this episode will sharpen your thinking and deepen your confidence in the Christian worldview.

Join us today as we speak with, Dr. Stephen Presley, and discuss his new book, Biblical Theology in the Life of the Early Church. Dr. Presley is an Associate Professor of Church History at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and previously served as the Director of Research Doctoral Studies at the seminary. His teaching and research specialize in early Christian studies, focusing on the development of theology and practice in the life of the early church.He also serves as the Senior Fellow for Religion and Public Life at the Center for Religion, Culture & Democracy (CRCD), an initiative of the First Liberty Institute in Plano, TX. Dr. Presley holds a bachelor's degree from Baylor University, a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.His teaching, writing, and speaking center on patristics, Christian cultural engagement, and related topics. Drawing from the rich heritage of historical theology, he equips contemporary Christian leaders to re-envision ministry for today's cultural context.

What does it actually mean to repent?After two thousand years of Christian history, disagreement over this single word remains as sharp as ever. And yet, many Christians today speak with absolute confidence, insisting the meaning is obvious, settled, and beyond debate.

Question: What rule hath God given for our direction in prayer? Answer: The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer; but the special rule of direction is that form of prayer which Christ taught his disciples, commonly called The Lord's Prayer.

The Church History Matters Podcast was started by Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths, two university religion professors, with the goal of explaining complex topics they only had limited time to teach in class. Lack of context in church history can lead to misunderstandings which may cause people to lose faith. The podcast aims to clarify and add context to complicated topics. Scott Woodward spoke to BYU-Idaho Radio about the purpose of the podcast and how it began.

In this episode of the Church History Matters podcast, we explore the long-standing tension many Latter-day Saints have felt between scientific discovery and religious belief. From the rise of evolutionary theory to advances in geology and biology, new ideas have sometimes seemed to challenge traditional readings of scripture. Historically, some Church leaders spoke strongly against evolution and certain scientific claims, reflecting the concerns of their times and a desire to protect faith. This episode places those statements in historical context, showing how questions about science and religion are not new but part of a continuing conversation. At the same time, the video emphasizes a hopeful and faithful perspective: that religion offers meaning, moral grounding, and a relationship with God that science alone cannot replace. Rather than framing science and faith as enemies, the podcast invites viewers to see them as different tools for discovering truth—one focused on the how of the universe, the other on the why of our existence. For Latter-day Saints, this balanced approach encourages both intellectual honesty and spiritual commitment, showing that sincere faith can coexist with thoughtful engagement in science.

Question: What is prayer? Answer: Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God for things agreeable to his will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins, and thankful acknowledgement of his mercies.

Question: What is required to be the worthy receiving of the Lord's supper? Answer: It is required of them that would worthily partake of the Lord's super, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord's body, of their faith to feed upon him, of their repentance, love, and new obedience; lest, coming unworthily, they eat and drink judgement to themselves.

How do we run our race with full surrender to Christ? Eric Liddell's life answers this question and many more with quiet strength and unwavering faith. Known for refusing to run on a Sunday at the 1924 Olympics, Eric honored God's law above worldly praise, trusting Christ by his obedience. His gold medal in the 400m became a testimony to God's faithfulness. But Eric's race didn't end on the track—he gave his life as a missionary in China, serving others with humility and joy until his final breath. His last words, “It's full surrender,” remind us that true greatness is found in yielding wholly to Jesus. Let us run our race likewise—looking unto Him (Hebrews 12:1–2).

Question: What is the Lord's supper? Answer: The Lord's Supper is a sacrament, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to Christ's appointment, his death is showed forth; and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporal and carnal manner, but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual nourishment, and growth in grace.

Explore the ongoing debate between science and religion through the lens of fundamentalism versus modernism, a conversation that has shaped religious thought for over a century. Scott and Casey dive into the historical roots of the conflict—highlighting modern scientific thought and modern Latter-day Saint thinking. Learn how cultural shifts led some believers to defend scripture strictly while others sought harmony between revelation and reason. Viewers will gain context for how these two approaches emerged and why the discussion still matters today in classrooms, churches, and public discourse. From a Latter-day Saint (LDS) perspective, this episode emphasizes that faith and scientific inquiry need not be enemies. Many Latter-day Saints see truth as coming from both divine revelation and honest study of the natural world, trusting that all truth ultimately aligns in God's eternal framework. By examining scripture, prophetic teachings, and the LDS tradition of education and learning, this video presents a thoughtful case for religious belief that welcomes discovery while maintaining devotion to God. Whether you are a person of faith, a student of science, or simply curious, this discussion invites respectful dialogue and deeper reflection.
