Podcasts about Quorum

Christ is risen! Sin and death have been defeated, and all those who trust in Christ receive eternal life. But what does that mean, exactly? In this Easter 2025 sermon, we look at John 3:16—perhaps the most familiar verse in the Bible—to explore the love of God, the grace of God, and the path to life.

It looks like the MAHA train has pulled into Baton Rouge and offloaded one of the most expansive food policy reform bills we have seen to date. The legislation covers ingredients, oils, sugary beverages and even SNAP eligibility and appears to be a huge priority of the governor.

In the final chapter of Daniel, God reveals his purposes for the end of history. So how ought we to live in light of the end? The answer might surprise you. God instructs Daniel to "go your way."

Instead, we ought to live our lives to please God, know God, and see God.(0:00) Scripture Reading: Daniel 12(3:18) The End of the World(12:20) Just Live Life(17:00) Live to Please God (Ethics)(21:27) Live to Know God (Wisdom)(25:38) Live to See God (Worship)

Links The Art of Gathering, by Priya Parker Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Read the transcript of this podcast Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Adam reflects on his three years as elders quorum president, recalling the initial challenge of revitalizing a stagnant quorum after the pandemic. His quorum includes a diverse mix of young adults and seniors, which made fostering meaningful connections essential. To lead effectively, Adam prioritized creating a safe space for open discussions, believing connection must come before impactful gospel instruction. He shares practical strategies, such as beginning meetings with personal check-ins and setting ground rules to encourage trust and honesty. These efforts helped members feel heard and valued. The discussion shifts to ministering, where Adam stresses the importance of building personal connections during interviews. Instead of administrative check-ins, he promotes genuine conversations about members' lives to create a culture of support and vulnerability. Adam also introduced interest-based activities outside regular meetings, which strengthened camaraderie. Additionally, informal tools like WhatsApp have kept members connected and supported between gatherings, enhancing the sense of community. 04:10 - Adam's Location and Temple Proximity 05:17 - Adam's Profession and Role 06:02 - Adam's Experience as Elders Quorum President 07:06 - Challenges of Reintegrating After COVID 08:02 - Demographics of the Quorum 08:59 - Meeting Locations and Challenges 09:46 - Initial Steps as Elders Quorum President 10:50 - Focus on Ministering Assignments 12:05 - Building Connection and Unity 13:10 - Moving from Ideal to Reality in Lessons 18:30 - Importance of Vulnerability in Discussions 20:12 - Engaging Different Groups in Lessons 24:51 - Real-Life Example: Discussing Blessings 30:01 - Connection Precedes Meaningful Instruction 30:44 - Creating Ground Rules for Safety 35:03 - Connection Outside Sunday Meetings 39:58 - Interest-Based Micro Groups 40:33 - Managing Activities and Engagement 41:22 - Using WhatsApp for Communication 44:40 - Ministering to the Ministers 47:51 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

President Trump fired the two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. President Trump's action leaves Chair Andrew Ferguson (R) and Commissioner Melissa Holyoak (R) as the only two members of the Commission, which has many wondering: can the FTC take formal action by a 2-0 vote cast by members of the same party? Can Trump refuse to appoint new Democratic members? What happens next for Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter? See the blog post from John E.

After reading the prophet Jeremiah, Daniel prays to God, and God reveals to Daniel that Israel's time in exile will be longer than anticipated. Yet this does not mean that God is unfaithful to His covenant. In this sermon, we explore what it means for Christians to know, understand, and embrace their responsibilities as a covenant people.(6:13) Introduction(10:16) Six Major Covenants(18:18) Read the Book(22:26) Seek the Lord(25:57) Plead the Promises(31:31) Trust the Prince

This week, we're covering a change in leadership at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the reinstatement of National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB” or “Board”) member Gwynne Wilcox (restoring a crucial quorum), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC's) focus on new enforcement priorities. New Leadership at the DOL Lori Chavez-DeRemer was sworn in as the U.S. Secretary of Labor on March 11, 2025, after receiving bipartisan support from the Senate. Secretary Chavez-DeRemer, a former congresswoman with strong backing from organized labor, is generally viewed as a centrist figure. NLRB Quorum Restored—for Now President Trump made waves when he fired NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox shortly after taking office. However, on March 6, a federal judge in the District of Columbia held that Wilcox was “illegally” fired and instructed the NLRB Chair to restore Wilcox's access to the Board and allow her to serve out the remainder of her five-year term. EEOC's New Enforcement Priorities  While many had anticipated a reduction in EEOC enforcement under the new administration, a series of announcements indicate that the agency is instead shifting its priorities and stepping up investigations in new areas, such as anti-American bias, antisemitism, and binary sex and related rights. Additionally, the EEOC has recently issued letters to 20 major law firms, raising concerns about their diversity and inclusion programs. The agency is investigating whether these programs may involve unlawful disparate treatment or classification based on race, sex, or other protected characteristics, in potential violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Employers should take note, as this development may signal a broader enforcement strategy.

Daniel 3 is one of the most beloved and familiar stories in the Bible. It's a story that challenges God's people to consider: is my faith instrumental and transactional or is it covenantal, trusting in God regardless of outcomes? In this sermon we explore the faith of Shadrach & Meshach & Abednego and how God's covenant faithfulness awakens our trust in him.

In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream revealing the permanence of God's kingdom. He's open to spiritual realities but does not fully embrace the God of the Bible. Perhaps King Nebuchadnezzar is not just a historical figure in the ancient past. What if the people in your everyday life -- yourself included -- are not all that different? In this sermon, we explore what it means to live in a world full of Nebuchadnezzars.

In each generation, God's people are called to live faithfully for Him. Kingdoms rise and fall, but God's kingdom is the only one that will stand forever. The book of Daniel gives God's people a sweeping view of history and inspires them to live faithfully by grounding them in the hope and promise of God's everlasting kingdom.Change. Improvement. Progress. We all believe that history is going somewhere. Where did this belief come from? And where IS history going? In this sermon, we meet Daniel and his three friends as they are taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. As we follow their story, we discover the difference between Babylon's view of progress and God's view of progress, and we see how all of history tells the story of God and his everlasting kingdom.

The movie is based on an original idea of Armstrong's and will center on four friends who meet up in the midst of a global financial crisis. Production is currently fast-tracked to start later this year.

Change is slow. Suffering is normal. Through it all, God's desire is to renew his people "day by day." But experiencing God's daily renewal requires some things. In this sermon, we explore the truth that renewal requires resilience: a resilient source and a resilient hope.

Nothing quenches renewal more than a lack of repentance. God's desire is to renew his people "day by day," not just once a year. However, experiencing God's daily renewal requires some things. In this sermon, we explore the truth that renewal requires repentance; turning from sin and seeking God who is full of compassion and grace.For more info, visit cdomaha.com

Joseph Smith, the nineteenth-century American prophet who founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, can, at times, be considered an elusive historical figure. There were many forces that drove this man, along with the thousands of individuals who followed him, to create a flourishing religious movement that not only influenced minds, but fostered communities, built cities, and engaged in politics. The Mormons drastically influenced American culture, and they continue to impact the United States and the world in impressive ways. Join me as I talk with the managing historian of the Joseph Smith Papers project, Matthew C. Godfrey, about a recently released documents volume (The Joseph Smith Papers: Documents, Volume 7: September 1839 - January 1841). The book explores the geographical, political, and theological significance of Nauvoo, Illinois (a Mormon hub along the Mississippi River), the extraordinary proselytizing missions by the Church's Quorum of Twelve Apostles in England, and the further development of Mormon doctrine, especially the introduction of baptism for the dead. This new volume of the Joseph Smith Papers engages these topics with breadth and depth like never before, giving us a detailed view of how the Mormons negotiated their existence and growth within Jacksonian America and Victorian England. Daniel P. Stone holds a PhD in American religious history from Manchester Metropolitan University (United Kingdom) and is the author of William Bickerton: Forgotten Latter Day Prophet(Signature Books, 2018). He has taught history courses at the University of Detroit Mercy and Florida Atlantic University, and currently, he works as a research archivist for a private library/archive in Detroit, Michigan.

Join us for an enlightening session on the Everyday Judaism podcast, where we explore various facets of Jewish law and practice. Our journey begins with a thorough examination of the laws of Chazarat Hashatz, the repetition of the Amidah prayer by the Chazan. We unpack its essential purposes: aiding those unable to pray independently, facilitating the congregation's recitation of the Kedushah, and supporting those who may have lacked concentration during their silent prayer. The discussion highlights the importance of maintaining a quorum of ten male adults to ensure meaningful responses, and we emphasize proper conduct during the Chazan's repetition to foster a focused and united congregation.In our conversation on the Spirit vs. Letter of Halacha, we open the floor to questions, sparking a rich dialogue on the nuances of handwashing practices and maintaining purity according to Jewish law. We explore the intricacies of taking three steps back after the silent Amidah and the etiquette of waiting for the Chazan during the Kedushah. Through personal anecdotes, we illustrate the importance of mindfulness during prayer, especially in communal spaces, while celebrating the beauty of studying halacha with its detailed and nuanced approach.Finally, we delve into the complexities of interfaith marriages, focusing on Jewish and Mormon faiths, and their impact on religious identity. We emphasize the transformative nature of embodying the Jewish spirit, underscoring the role of questioning as a pathway to truth. We discuss the responsibilities of rabbis in guiding communities, particularly regarding halacha's flexibility within defined boundaries, and reflect on the conversion process, advocating for a thorough and genuine immersion into the faith. This episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of Jewish law and practice, encouraging active participation and engagement from our listeners._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #22) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Apathy and indifference, cold-heartedness and lack of passion will stifle the work of God in one's life. God's desire is to renew his people "day by day," not just once a year. But experiencing God's daily renewal requires some things. In this sermon, we explore the truth that renewal requires receiving the love of the Father, the work of the Son, and the gift of the Spirit.

Advent is a season of anticipation for the coming of Jesus and in this sermon, we look at Luke's account of the Christmas story. While the story is familiar it's a story that is meant to leave us in wonder and awe. It is in the incarnation we see that God is more humble than we think.

For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, education is a religious responsibility; as such, the Church Educational System (CES) has been built to pursue that responsibility and develop disciples of Jesus Christ. CES accomplishes this at larger institutions like Brigham Young University, electronically accessible programs like BYU–Pathway Worldwide, and gospel-centered curriculum found at seminary and institute classes wherever the Church is established, allowing students to thrive in and through their educational pursuits.  In this special episode of the Church News podcast, guest host Sheri Dew, executive vice president of Deseret Management Corp. and a former member of the Relief Society general presidency, sits down with Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Elder Clark G. Gilbert, General Authority Seventy and Church commissioner of education. Together, they discuss the Church Educational System and the Church's ongoing commitment to both spiritual and educational growth among the rising generation.  The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of The Church News, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.
