    D&C 137–138 | GOD’S PLAN IS PERFECT | GABE PETTITT

    This week, Jared and Elijah sit down with their friend Gabe Pettit for a powerful, warm, and genuinely uplifting discussion on the final sections of the Doctrine & Covenants. Together they dive into Joseph Smith’s and Joseph F. Smith’s visions, the doctrine of salvation for the dead, and what these revelations reveal about God’s fairness, mercy, and love. Gabe shares personal stories—from serving in Nauvoo to studying at the BYU Jerusalem Center—that bring doctrine to life and highlight why these sections matter right now. The conversation hits on the big questions of the soul:• What happens to people who never hear the gospel?• Does God rea​lly judge the heart?• How do we actually receive revelation?• What does the Spirit World teach us about hope after loss? It’s thoughtful, relatable, and full of the kind of insight that helps you see God’s plan more clearly and feel Christ’s love more personally. If you need a reminder that mortality isn’t the end—and that Heaven’s plan is merciful, inclusive, and intentional—this episode will mean a lot to you.

    ​D&C 135-136 | PRAISE TO THE MAN |

    In this episode Jared, Elijah, and Ashley sit down for a quieter, more emotional conversation centered on Doctrine & Covenants 135 — the announcement of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. The three of them talk about why Joseph Smith matters to them personally: Ashley shares some powerful family history and what she’s learned from the Prophet Joseph about being cheerful in hard things; Jared opens up about how the Book of Mormon carried him through the darkest seasons of his life; and Elijah reflects on the things Joseph did that he knows he couldn’t have done himself and his admiration for him because of those things. It’s simple and genuine this week, and we hope it leaves you thinking about your own gratitude for the Prophet Joseph Smith, especially heading into Thanksgiving week.
