  1. Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #24: “The Lord Requireth the Heart and a Willing Mind,” D&C 64-66

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #24: “The Lord Requireth the Heart and a Willing Mind,” D&C 64-66

    June 16-22 Many years ago, I read Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo: the unabridged version which is 1,463 pages long. Next to the scriptures, it was the greatest reading experience of any book I have ever had. I became so close to the characters, Jean Valjean, Monsieur Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel—the Bishop of Digne (‘deen’), Fantine, Cosette, Gavroche, Marius, Javert and many others that I wept for a long time after I finished the book because I was so sad, I would not be able to meet them in the Spirit World! Maurine reminded me they were fictional characters. I was completely transported into their hearts, their world, their times, their pain, their burdens. Maurine and I even went to Victor Hugo’s home in Guernsey Island off the coast of Normandy in the English Channel to get a sense of where he wrote this classic novel. Do you want to know my very favorite moment from the entire 1,463 pages? It has to do with our lesson in this episode.

  2. Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #23: “I Am with the Faithful Always,” D&C 60-63

    JUN 9

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #23: “I Am with the Faithful Always,” D&C 60-63

    June 9-15 This week we will be talking about some of those early elders who had traveled a thousand miles to get to Western Missouri, had fulfilled a small mission, held a special conference, had dedicated the land of Zion and a temple site in Independence, Missouri, and now, they were turning around and making their way back the thousand miles to Kirtland. You can learn a lot in 2,000 miles of walking in a wilderness land, and here’s what the Lord wanted these elders to know.

  3. Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #22: “Anxiously Engaged in a Good Cause,” D&C 58-59

    MAY 30

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #22: “Anxiously Engaged in a Good Cause,” D&C 58-59

    June 2-8 Can you imagine living in a world where people did not hurt each other or become angry or divided? Can you imagine families with total harmony and marriages with no contention? Can you imagine a world where everyone watched out for each other and people were there to help you when you needed it? Can you imagine a place so pure that God could be there? It may sound too good to imagine, but that is the Zion that the Lord envisions for us and that’s what we hope to build.

    MAY 23

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #21: “A Faithful, a Just, and a Wise Steward,” D&C 51-57

    May 26-June 1 I grew up on a beautiful spread of woods and meadows near Rolla, Missouri. We had about 230 acres with our house up on the south hill overlooking a beautiful valley. A small stream called Spring Creek ran through the bottomlands and a narrow gravel road led from our home to the access road of old Highway 66. The view was so peaceful and beautiful. One late afternoon I stood outside with my Dad in our front yard looking over all of this beauty. Dad was a noted professor at the University of Missouri and for many years the Dean of the School of Science. He was brilliant. I’ll never forget this moment together, because I asked Dad a question and the answer he gave me would change my life…

    MAY 18

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #20: “That Which Is of God Is Light,” D&C 49-50

    May 19-25 When you read Doctrine and Covenants Sections 49 and 50, it helps to have the rest of the story. Why should you care about Leman Copley or the Shakers and what’s this talk about false spirits? We will have some fun and give you the context in this episode.

  6. Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #19: “Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts,” D&C 46-48

    MAY 12

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #19: “Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts,” D&C 46-48

    May 12-18 “We must remember that to every man [or woman] is given a gift by the Spirit of God. It is our right and responsibility to accept our gifts and to share them. God’s gifts and powers are available to all of us.” (Ashton, Marvin J., There are Many Gifts, General Conference, October 1987) Each of us has at least one spiritual gift. Some people have many, but the Prophet Joseph Smith had them all. We will learn about them in this episode.

  7. Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #18: “The Promises … Shall Be Fulfilled,” D&C 45

    MAY 2

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #18: “The Promises … Shall Be Fulfilled,” D&C 45

    May 5-11 The Second Coming is a topic of endless speculation for us, especially in light of the social unrest and wars and rumors of wars that mark our time. President Russell M. Nelson has spoken often of the Savior’s Second Coming in words like these from the October 2024 General Conference. “The best is yet to come, my dear brothers and sisters, because the Savior is coming again! The best is yet to come because the Lord is hastening His work. The best is yet to come as we fully turn our hearts and our lives to Jesus Christ.” Yet this best time, this transcendent event also has harrowing events that precede it as we talk about in this episode studying Doctrine and Covenants 45.

  8. Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #17: “My Law to Govern My Church,” D&C 41-44

    APR 28

    Come Follow Me Doctrine & Covenants Podcast #17: “My Law to Govern My Church,” D&C 41-44

    April 28-May 4 We live in a time when the Church of Jesus Christ has been well established and we are used to talking in terms of large numbers, general conferences translated into scores of languages simultaneously, missionaries serving in diverse countries all over the world and the Kingdom of God on the earth organized unlike any worldly entity. We are used to thinking in terms of the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Church Headquarters, the Conference Center, Temple Square—but in the era we are talking about today, the early part of 1831, none of these things were yet a reality. When Joseph and Emma arrived in Kirtland, Ohio in February, 1831, the successful missionary efforts of Parley P. Pratt and his companions had just doubled the entire membership of the Church to about 250 people!
