Church History Matters

These guys are so well read! I trust everything they report because they have searched all the information out there

You have changed my feelings about section 121. You not only have added to my growing understanding of consecrated suffering, but also helped me see that God himself follows the terms of righteous use of power: “maintained by virtue of the priesthood⁠, only by persuasion⁠, by long-suffering⁠, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned; 42 By kindness⁠, and pure knowledge⁠, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy⁠, and without guile— 43 Reproving betimes with sharpness⁠, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy; 44 That he may know that thy faithfulness is stronger than the cords of death⁠.” You helped me realize I have felt all of these in my relationship with Heavenly Father. Thanks Scott and Casey!

Some podcasts give you great historical content, others give thoughtful observation and still others deliver impactful spiritual insight. On Church History Matters you get all 3. Kudos for a phenomenal podcast that delivers every time and leaves me spirit-filled and deep in thought.

I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of months now and I find the content to be so important for my understanding of Doctrine and Covenants. Utilizing extra resources for my personal Come Follow Me study has helped my testimony of CFM grow, but especially this year with Doctrine and Covenants. As a convert who hasn’t spent a lot of time with this content, knowing the history and context has helped me understand why these revelations and doctrines have been so important to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love the way these brothers break down the chapters. I appreciate the context, especially because I love history. But I also really love the “consequences” and seeing how these things have affected the way the church operates today, as well as how I am affected by this scripture. I’ve been recommending my family and friends listen to this, and definitely utilize their input (especially with their personal experience in bishoprics and stake presidencies) and sources in my lessons when I’m in charge of lessons with my extended family.
