Podcasts about Church

Segment 1 • Lots of us in the south cancelled gathering last Sunday due to inclement weather - and there are spiritual consequences to skipping church. • Church isn't something we do just to do - it's a weekly realignment of our lives. • Even when gathering is hard, faithful churches find creative ways to feed their flocks. Segment 2 • Kevin DeYoung models how to preach a one-off sermon with clarity, structure, and gospel power. • Biblical preaching must consider the genre of the text. Historical narrative, poetry, wisdom, and gospels don't all preach the exact same. • The aim in good preaching isn't just increasing knowledge, but to draw sinners to Christ as we learn more about him and are conformed to His image. Segment 3 • Disturbing church protests raise questions for parents: what if your child is trapped in the chaos? • Churches must prepare now — when agitators disrupt worship, there won't be time to get ready. • Comparing violent protests to Jesus cleansing the temple is biblical malpractice. Segment 4 • Churches are absorbing secular values — “Flamy Grant” drag shows prove it's more than a trend. • Postmodern self-expression is replacing reverence for biblical truth in pulpits and pews. • As persecution rises globally, now's the time to clarify our mission: be holy, not popular. ___ Thanks for listening!

Stefan Molyneux takes on objections to Universally Preferable Behavior as a moral framework. He pushes back against the idea that morality stands on its own, stressing the need for clear definitions in any philosophical talk. When it comes to tying morality to gods or divine sources, he points out that fuzzy claims don't hold up as real arguments. Molyneux questions whether morality can just be about chasing the good, the true, and the beautiful, pulling in examples from religious texts to show the inconsistencies there. He looks back at how Christian morality has fallen short over time and doubts whether theocratic setups really deliver on ethics. In the end, he calls for a straightforward grasp of morality and what UPB means in practice, urging people to check their own biases and lean on real-world evidence in these discussions.Email from listener:UPB reduces down to "Morality is being". Or "By the act of living, you prefer life". Or Universal Preference for Being. But even without beings, morality still exists. So morality is God based, and is the rational pursuit of, participation in, and defense of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful (with evil being precisely whatever actively undermines or destroys those ends). Plato would agree. Jesus said, to love God with all your mind heart soul and strength, and love others as yourself, and the whole of the law rests on these two principles. It means to fight for the Good, the True, and the Beautiful - for order. Of course, this can only be done through rationality and power. So, the Good must take the power back. This cannot be done through secular materialism which only reduces to hedonism. People that hear their conscience seek rationality and God more than anything else, because everything else is temporary.However, Christianity displays false theories. The biggest one is the idea that an innocent person needed to suffer and be sacrificed for evils committed by everyone else. God would never require this because God is 100% good. The reality is that Jesus needed to be killed and resurrected so that His story would be way bigger and spread Goodness to way more people, and last forever. So, he did die for sins in that sense alone, so that more people would hear His story and turn away from sin.There is no other practical moral framework to turn to. Philosophy alone is rational, but it does not ground morality the same way God does. Actually, rationality requires one to accept God. Without God, people literally have absolutely no reason to be moral at all. And Deism's impersonal God doesn't connect with people. Christianity was working until the Jews brainwashed society and the Church and destroyed its influence on society. Notwithstanding its misinterpretations, Christianity appears to be the only effective thing people can actually believe in and follow. And Neitzche would say the will to power is too potent for UPB to control. However, Christianity at least affords a will to power of the True, the Beautiful, and the Good. Jesus whipped the little bastards in the Temple. That needs to come back, because that is all the little bastards can understand.Someone wants steak for dinner and the other person doesn't, or go hungry forever, that does not make the steak guy forcing the other to eat the steak immoral. UPB is a logical construction that fails in the real world, and honestly, not even to be a jerk, but literally no one at all gives the slightest fuck about it. Sorry for the language.And I really do appreciate your efforts and all your good works. And sure, UPB is a true logical construction, but people are irrational and will never be rational. And that is why the real world philosophy is 100% might makes right. And this is why Christianity must be forced down their throats until the world is functional again. Irrational people only understand force, and Christianity is the valid, justified, moral, virtuous, reason and purpose of true physical force against irrational and evil people.There is an attempt at logic in UPB, and it sort of works, but not really. Morality already existed before Mankind, and UPB only points out the effects of immorality, it does not define morality. And lastly, to include with all the arguments I have made against UPB. I will just say that bottom line, UPB is merely a survival instinct desire and not the creation of morality. Every person would agree that they don't want to be attacked or stolen from, simply because they want to live and survive, so that would make that universally preferable behavior. However, because this is all survival instinct based, as soon as a person sees a chance to steal or attack, that best serves their own survival, they will immediately not care the slightest about UPB because they are about their own survival over everyone else's. UPB is matter-based biologically-based morality, and simply does not hold up, just like all the other secular ethical frameworks before it - they all failed, and all secular ethical frameworks will always fail. This is because God-based, soul-based morality is the only Truth, as proven at dynamicentity.comGET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In today's episode, Kaleb and I dive into a topic that might ruffle a few feathers — the state of the modern church, especially mega churches. Inspired by a hilarious (but lowkey convicting) parody by comedian Druski, we talk about the skepticism a lot of people feel toward church nowadays. From prosperity gospel gone wild to pastors with private jets and Dior drip — it's no wonder people are asking, “Is church even biblical anymore?” We also bring on our dear friend and pastor, JP Pokluda, to unpack what the Bible actually says about church, how to find a healthy one, and why yes, you DO need to be plugged into a local body of believers. Oh, and don't worry — there's also plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and a little youth group trauma mixed in.

Many believers don't fully recognize all they've received in Christ Jesus—God's love, healing, provision, peace, and joy. Instead, they often spend their lives trying to get God to give them what's already theirs. Join Andrew for this collection of faith-filled teachings and rediscover the abundant life made possible through the finished work of the cross.

Reformation always precedes revival. Our conversation today is designed to help us seek a ‘reformation’ within our culture of what Christianity actually is—namely, that Jesus’ message is one of love and not division and that the Church an institution that protects and doesn’t harm. Sean Nolan will translate theology into eveyday language, illuminating afresh and anew the classic Gospel message as the antidote to the identity crises plaguing modern Western Christianity.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How should christians think about protests that stop church services?Mark and Jonathan talk about the recent disruption that happened at St. Paul Church.

C. S. Lewis famously wrote that we cannot remain neutral about Jesus: He was either a lunatic—on the level of a man who claims to be a poached egg—or He is the Son of God.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul teaches through the entire third chapter of Mark and the six vignettes that reveal the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

How should Latter-day Saints think about evolution—and has that thinking changed over time? In this episode, hosts Casey Griffith and Scott Woodward explore why members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are uniquely positioned to engage the conversation between evolution and Christian faith without fear or false dichotomies. Drawing on LDS scripture, prophetic teachings, and historical context, Casey and Scott trace how Latter-day Saint perspectives on creation, science, and revelation have developed over time, and why ongoing revelation allows room for both faithful belief and scientific discovery. Rather than framing evolution as a threat, this conversation invites viewers into a more nuanced, faithful approach—one that embraces truth wherever it is found and models how believers can wrestle honestly with complex questions in a modern scientific world.

How Mystery Babylon Infiltrates and Influences the Church | KIB 515 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Subtitle: Mystery Babylon in the Church: How a Seductive System Keeps Believers Trapped This Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (episode #515) digs into a hard but crucial question: How has Mystery Babylon infiltrated and influenced the Church? Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack how a global Babylonian system has been built around us—politically, economically, spiritually—and how it keeps people "comfortable," passive, and afraid to confront evil. Mary shares a sobering picture the Lord showed her of a Babylonian "cloud system" that pulls people back in whenever they try to step out, and a deeply personal testimony of confronting hidden darkness, trauma, and occult networks. From there, Dr. Lake lays out a powerful biblical teaching on Mystery Babylon's strategy to infiltrate and then influence the Church: Seduction instead of open confrontation Syncretism (mixing paganism with Christianity) Entertainment-based "worship" replacing reverence Prophetic performance instead of true prophetic voices Debt, media, and politics used to pressure pastors The push to blur holiness, law, and biblical authority You'll also hear about current examples, including the Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal, how fear of confrontation keeps leaders trapped, and why so many ministries will not face what's really going on. Most importantly, this episode is a call to the remnant: To face the truth about Babylon's influence To come out of religious harlotry and man-made empire To return to holiness, the fear of the Lord, biblical depth, and true spiritual warfare To embrace kingdom identity over cultural identity To be willing to suffer well, stand apart, and be "the absolute other" in a collapsing system Dr. Lake closes with a prophetic look at what's ahead in 2026–2027, the coming shaking of Babylon, and a charge to stand firm so you can hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." Timeline of Topics Discussed (for Chapters) (Adjust timestamps to match your final edit.) 00:00 – Biblical Life intro & opening montage Program intro: Biblical Life TV mission to empower the remnant for the last days. 02:00 – Welcome to KIB 515 & severe winter weather Dr. Michael and Mary Lou share about the heavy snow, partner prayers, and God's faithfulness. 05:00 – Mary's vision of the Babylonian "cloud system" Mary explains the picture God showed her: a spiritual Babylonian system like a cloud/vacuum that pulls people back whenever they try to move out. 10:00 – How Babylon keeps people "comfortable" and quiet A seductive spirit whispers, "Don't confront this… you can't change anything… just go along," creating apathy and passivity. 14:00 – Matthew 24, end-time deception, and false prophets Reading from Matthew 24; discussion of deception, lawlessness, and the clear signs we are in the last days. 18:00 – The Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal Mary reviews the public information: mining social media and conference registrations to fake "prophecy," Bill Johnson's apology, and the refusal to confront earlier. 23:00 – The danger of needing "a word" instead of hearing God for yourself Why the obsession with personal prophecies is dangerous, and encouragement to seek God directly. 27:00 – True prophets vs false prophetic performance Dr. Lake shares earlier experiences with real prophets, how they confront sin, and the fear of the Lord that surrounds true prophetic ministry. 32:00 – Mary's personal testimony: coming out of Babylon and trauma Mary recounts her own journey: Deep depression and blocked memories A whistleblower woman who exposed local occult and corruption Fort Leonard Wood hospital stories, missing babies, and a man who claimed to be her son The cost of facing painful truth and choosing to confront instead of deny 42:00 – The necessity of spiritual warfare and praying your own way out Mary exhorts listeners: no one can do all your praying for you; you must engage spiritual warfare and choose not to participate in Babylon. 47:00 – Dr. Lake's thesis: How Mystery Babylon infiltrates and influences the Church Mystery Babylon as a counterfeit religious, political, and economic system that works by infiltration → influence → substitution. 52:00 – Adaptability of Babylon vs. slowness of the Church Babylon's guerrilla tactics and tentacles versus a tradition-bound Church that defends man-made customs over the Word of God. 56:00 – Syncretism: blending the Bible with pagan and occult ideas How pagan practices, New Age methods, and even Masonic material have been baptized into "Christian" ministries and prophetic schools. 1:02:00 – Counterfeit revelation & prophetic manipulation Dreams, visions, and "secret knowledge" used to undermine Scripture and create dependence on personalities instead of the written Word. 1:07:00 – Entertainment-driven church vs biblical worship From temple worship to Vegas-style services; why emotional spectacle has replaced reverence, holiness, and the fear of the Lord. 1:12:00 – Doctrines Babylon wants silenced Holiness, repentance, judgment, spiritual warfare (rightly understood), the sovereignty of Christ, and separation from the world. 1:16:00 – Co-opting clergy: prestige, platforms, money & media How Babylon uses publishing, media, influence, and economics to pressure pastors to avoid controversial truth and protect "the machine." 1:21:00 – Debt structures and analytics-driven sermons Stories of massive church overhead, the temptation to preach what keeps offerings high, and the danger of corporate thinking in ministry. 1:26:00 – Political courtship and religious compromise The trap of trying to gain legitimacy through political power instead of maintaining a prophetic witness that confronts kings and systems. 1:30:00 – Higher criticism, liberal theology, and demythologizing Scripture How treating the Bible like mere literature drains the supernatural and opens the door to Babylonian thinking. 1:34:00 – Marks of Babylonian theology in the Church Universalism, lawlessness (antinomianism), Gnosticism, man-centered religion, hybrid mysticism, and moral relativism. 1:39:00 – Babylon's endgame: replacing the bride with the harlot Proverbs and Revelation's two women: the pure bride and the whore of Babylon; Babylon's goal to transform the visible church into a one-world religious system. 1:44:00 – How the remnant resists Babylon Biblical literacy and theological depth Holiness and separation Discerning of spirits rooted in the fear of the Lord Seeing the Bible as a war book from Genesis 1 Kingdom identity over cultural identity Prophetic voice over prophetic performance 1:51:00 – Suffering well, covenant faithfulness, and coming judgment Why suffering for truth is part of our calling and how God will reward faithful servants as Babylon is judged. 1:56:00 – 2026–2027: days ahead and God's remnant Dr. Lake's view that things will get "interesting" in 2026–2027 and his prayer that listeners stand firmly in the Kingdom when the dust settles. 2:00:00 – Final exhortation: "Come out of her, My people" Revelation 18:4, a call to separate from Babylon so we do not share in her plagues, and a closing prayer for the remnant to be established in the Kingdom.

Editor's Note, by Art Middlekauff The first time a visitor enters St. Mary's Church in Ambleside, the first thing she notices is the beautiful and intriguing mural on the back wall. Everything about it is unusual, including its history.

A caller named Tammy asks Father Dave about attending Mass at different parishes in her area. She asks, "If I go to different parishes for convenience's sake — say, this Mass time works better for me at this other church instead of the parish that I belong to — and it seems like the majority of the time I'm attending Mass at a different church than my parish that I belong to, is that a sin? Is that something I need to confess, that I need to be at my own parish more often?"

In the year after the Saint's repose both the Emperor Arcadius and his wife Eudoxia, who had been most responsible for St John's exile, died. Their son Theodosius II succeeded to the throne. Soon most of the exiled supporters of St John were restored to their sees. In 434 St Proclus, a disciple of St John Chrysostom, was made Archbishop of Constantinople, and persuaded the Emperor to have St John's relics solemnly translated from Comana to Constantinople. But all efforts to disinter his remains failed, as if his coffin were sealed in the earth. Learning of this, the Emperor wrote a letter to St John asking forgiveness for his father's persecution, and pleading with him to agree to return to the Imperial City for the benefit of the faithful. As soon as this letter was placed over the Saint's tomb, his coffin was removed with no difficulty and conveyed solemnly to Constantinople.   When the cortege reached Constantinople, the Emperor met it and prostrated himself before it, once again begging the Saint's forgiveness for the sins of the State against him. At last, the relics were deposited beneath the altar of the Church of the Holy Apostles, where they worked many miracles during the celebration of the Liturgy. Since then, the relics have been scattered throughout the world, where they never fail to reveal the Saint's loving presence.

Allie opens the week fired up, drawing eerie parallels between 2020's BLM-fueled chaos and today's anti-ICE protests. She exposes the manufactured outrage, media double standards, and toxic empathy that shield criminals while demonizing law enforcement and Christians. Allie digs into why liberal women — especially Gen Z white progressive women — fall hardest for these traps, channeling misplaced mothering instincts into activism and politics instead of children, leading to bitterness, instability, and selective empathy. She breaks down the viral article “Why Young Women Moved Left While Young Men Stayed Sane” by Vittorio, citing data on the growing gender-political divide, social media's consensus engine, university echo chambers, declining marriage and motherhood priorities, and women's higher agreeableness, making them more susceptible to propaganda. This is a no-nonsense call to critical thinking, discernment, and biblical clarity.

On today's episode, we welcome two very special guests! Leopoldo Larcher and Emily Guincho are a father–daughter duo here to share their Italian Mormon story as the first family to join the LDS Church in Italy.Leopoldo details his experience of quickly being placed into leadership roles and bearing the responsibility of helping establish the structure of the Church in Italy. Over the years, he worked with many LDS Church leaders, from Ezra Taft Benson to Spencer W. Kimball.His daughter, Emily, joins us to share her own perspective on what it was like for her and her siblings to grow up in an environment dominated by church service and the immense pressure to represent Mormonism in their community.Together, Emily and Leopoldo reflect on what it meant to be Mormon pioneers in Italy, how their dedicated service affected their family life, and where they stand with the Church today. They also discuss what the LDS community looks like in Italy within a predominantly Catholic culture, and the challenges the Church faces as it attempts to establish a uniquely American institution in Europe.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the 9941 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker and AntMan tackle a rapidly growing cultural trend: AI girlfriends, boyfriends, and digital soulmates. What starts as a discussion about emerging AI companion technology quickly becomes a deep, biblical examination of love, loneliness, identity, and God’s design for human relationships. The guys explore how artificial intelligence is being marketed as emotional companionship — even romantic partnership — and why that trend poses serious spiritual, emotional, and societal dangers. They reference real-world examples like hologram companions and AI chatbot “relationships,” including platforms that introduced erotic roleplay features and the emotional fallout when those features were removed. Using Scripture as their foundation, the conversation moves into what the Bible teaches about love, human connection, and God’s design for marriage. Passages from 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 14, and Romans 1 are used to show how redefining love and pursuing artificial substitutes for real relationships leads people away from truth and toward spiritual harm. The hosts also address deeper heart issues behind the appeal of AI relationships — loneliness, sexual temptation, fear of rejection, and the desire for unconditional affirmation. They emphasize that while AI may seem safe and customizable, it ultimately replaces real sanctifying relationships and distracts people from Christ, the Church, and the gospel. The episode closes with a clear gospel message, reminding listeners that true love, fulfillment, and rest are found in Jesus alone — not in manufactured affection or digital fantasy. The guys issue a firm warning against pursuing romantic or emotional relationships with AI and encourage believers to trust God with their singleness, relationships, and longing for connection. *************** Follow the show: Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/9941thepodcast Facebook - https://www.Facebook.com/9941thepodcast YouTube - https://www.YouTube.com/@9941ThePodcast Online - https://www.9941ThePodcast.com Shop - https://yeeyee.com/collections/faithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if marriage was never meant to just be about your happiness? In Part 1 of this candid and challenging teaching, Francis and Lisa Chan invite listeners to rethink marriage, family, and discipleship through the lens of eternity. Drawing from decades of shared ministry, they show that unity, joy, and intimacy in marriage are often the byproducts of pursuing God's mission together... not the primary goal. Francis and Lisa share vulnerable stories from their own lives: downsizing their home, giving sacrificially, moving in faith, fostering teens, raising children with an eternal perspective, and learning to say “yes” to God even when it was costly. They confront the cultural obsession with comfort and ask whether the Church has replaced God's Kingdom with the pursuit of a “happy Christian family.” This episode is a hope-filled call to seek first the Kingdom of God and trust Him with everything else.

Many believers don't fully recognize all they've received in Christ Jesus—God's love, healing, provision, peace, and joy. Instead, they often spend their lives trying to get God to give them what's already theirs. Join Andrew for this collection of faith-filled teachings and rediscover the abundant life made possible through the finished work of the cross.

We all have an important role to play in the body of believers. This truth, though seemingly ingrained in us now, was something that God had to intentionally teach the Israelites. Today, Pastor J.D. takes us through three foundational lessons that God taught the Israelites about life in the redeemed community. In showing them that everything wasn’t meant to be centered around one leader, the people were ultimately better equipped to serve the needs of the community as a whole.

Many believers ask God to do things He has empowered them to do. James 4:7 tells us to submit to God and resist the devil—that's our responsibility. Could it be that God is waiting for you to step boldly into the authority He's already given you? Join Andrew to discover how.

Why does God allow hypocrites, fakes, and even wicked people to sit right inside the church? Wouldn't it be better if He just cleaned house? In this episode, we walk through Jesus' parable of the wheat and the weeds and uncover a surprising, humbling answer. You'll see why God's patience isn't weakness, how premature judgment can destroy real faith, and what this means for the most difficult people in your life, and even your own heart. We also dive into thoughtful listener questions on sin, fear of the Lord, marriage preparation, America first, and navigating painful family relationships.

The resurgence of Gen Z in church attendance marks a significant shift within the spiritual landscape, as Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner elucidates in this enlightening discussion. We delve into the implications of this generational revival, addressing the paradox of a declining church juxtaposed with a burgeoning interest in authentic faith among young people. Gen Z's attendance averages 1.9 times per month, surpassing previous generations and indicating a profound yearning for spiritual identity and genuine connection rather than mere entertainment or social validation. This episode compels church leaders to recognize the need for a revival that is centered on Jesus, highlighting the potential dangers posed by algorithm-driven discipleship, which often distracts from the essence of forming authentic disciples. We emphasize the importance of maintaining an organic, relational approach to ministry, where genuine presence and discipleship are prioritized over numerical growth, thus ensuring that the church remains a transformative force in the lives of young believers, rather than a mere reflection of contemporary culture.Takeaways:The resurgence of Gen Z in church attendance signals a profound spiritual awakening, with young individuals attending church 1.9 times per month on average, surpassing preceding generations' engagement.Revival, characterized by a deepened desperation for authentic faith, is not merely a trend but a significant movement among young people seeking genuine connection with Jesus.Discipleship must transcend conventional programmatic approaches; it should be organic, relational, and focused on forming disciples who can replicate their faith in others.The role of algorithms in shaping spiritual identities poses a challenge, as they often prioritize engagement metrics over meaningful discipleship, potentially leading to superficial faith practices.Church planting efforts should prioritize the cultivation of discipleship over mere attendance, aiming for multiplication that reflects the genuine growth of faith communities.The authenticity of Jesus must remain central in ministry to Gen Z, as they desire a faith that is transformative and not merely an echo of contemporary cultural trends.Resources

Patrick opens the hour with a candid examination of faith colliding with immigration debates, propelled by a caller unsettled by a partisan homily.

Clips from past presidents spark reflection as Patrick lays bare the tension swirling in parish life and challenges all sides to reckon with justice, reform and unity. Terry - I live in St. Paul diocese. I went to a mass where the priest talked about dictators and kings. I thought this disrupted the congregation. I almost didn’t go up for communion.

(29:15) Danny - I work in the Mexican Community who say that ICE doesn't detain them for that long and they are not as afraid as the news is making it out to be. News media is putting too much a magnifying glass on this. (35:31) Griselda - Everybody wants legal immigration. People are being pulled off the streets, and this is why people are angry. (38:42) Julia - I am a legal immigrant, and I have seen the struggle with the process. This is why I think we need reform. It is hard even for native English speakers. (46:45)

From the Come Follow Me Manual:Most of Genesis 5 is a list of the generations between Adam and Eve and Noah. We read a lot of names, but we don't learn much about them. Then we read this intriguing but unexplained line: “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (⁠Genesis 5:24⁠). Surely there's a story behind that verse! But without further explanation, the list of generations resumes.Thankfully, Moses 6 reveals the details of Enoch's story—and it's quite a story. We learn of Enoch's humility, his insecurities, the potential God saw in him, and the great work he performed as God's prophet. We also get a clearer picture of the family of Adam and Eve as it progressed through the generations. We read of Satan's “great dominion” but also of parents who taught children “the ways of God” (⁠Moses 6:15, 21⁠). Especially precious is what we learn about the doctrine these parents taught: faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Ghost (see Moses 6:50–52⁠). That doctrine, like the priesthood that accompanies it, “was in the beginning [and] shall be in the end of the world also” (⁠Moses 6:7⁠).Song from this episode: I am Divine by listener Amanda and her son Tate.
