    Did You See That Warning Sign?

    We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail! This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe dives into Ezekiel to explore the role of prophetic watchmen, the gathering of Israel, and why simply hearing God's word isn't enough. We need to internalize it and act on it! In this episode, you'll learn: 📖 How Ezekiel's prophecy of the sticks of Judah and Joseph connects the Bible and Book of Mormon and why studying both matters 📣 Why the Lord calls prophets to be watchmen and how their warnings can protect us from spiritual dangers ❤️ What President Oaks taught about diminishing faith in Jesus Christ and how keeping commandments, honoring covenants, and attending the temple can strengthen us 🍯 Why Ezekiel was commanded to "eat" God's word and what that teaches us about making scripture and prophetic counsel part of who we are The Lord hasn't left us to navigate life's challenges without direction. He's given us scriptures, covenants, and living prophets who love us enough to sound the alarm. But a warning only helps if we choose to listen.

    Double Black Diamond

    We want to hear from you! Send us some Fan mail! This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe heads into week two of Isaiah to uncover a powerful contrast: Satan wants us to believe he has more power than he actually does, while Jesus Christ offers us something completely different power, refuge, and rest. In this episode, you’ll learn: 📖 How using the footnotes can unlock Isaiah and why they should become part of the way you study all scripture ⚡ What Isaiah 14 teaches about Satan's actual power and why following him gives away something Christ wants us to keep 🛡️ How Jesus Christ becomes our strength and refuge when life feels overwhelming, difficult, or completely out of our control ❤️ Why Isaiah's promise of eventual rest can give us hope while we're still navigating the hard parts of mortality Satan's strategy depends partly on convincing us that he's more powerful than he really is. But he cannot simply take away our agency, our covenants, or the power available to us through Jesus Christ. So when life feels like you're staring down a double black diamond, remember you don't have to navigate it alone.
