Denver Snuffer Podcast

In this retrospective, Denver recounts some of the many ways the Lord has labored in His vineyard over the past ten years, following the Ten Talks. We’re reaching the end of another year, and with New Year’s resolutions coming up that are generally looking out to the future, it occurs to me that we ought to take a moment to think about what has happened over the course of the last 10 years since t...

In this episode, Denver discusses the meaning of the three historic solar eclipses we have witnessed over the past 7 years. If you look up in the morning sky, right now you can see Orion on the Eastern horizon. And that's been true, twice a year, since the beginning. It's been true that all of the ordinances ordained by God in the heavens above have remained true from the day that He set them ther...

In this podcast, Denver discusses the corruption of church and state, how it happens, why it happens, and what we can do to avoid it and counteract it. There are a lot of prophecies that are requiring fulfillment right now that must precede the return of the Lord in His glory.  In addition to everything else that you learn from the Book of Mormon, there are prophecies about a kingdom, an incipient...

In this podcast, Denver defends the Covenant of Christ as evidence that our Lord cares for, and is reaching out to our generation just as He has done before. DENVER: I got an email asking about contacting those involved in the Covenant of Christ text, because the writer wanted to pose questions to have the text defended. I responded with the below answer, which I also forwarded to those who worked...

This is part seven of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him.

This is part six of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him. Christ was essentially an Eastern mystical teacher with whose deepest teachings the Buddhists and the Hindus resonate. Because the kind of allegories He spoke with, the kind of similes He used, the language that He used, it’s music in the ears of some of the E...

This is part five of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him. Christ was born a King. In fact, wise men from the East came inquiring saying: "Where is he that was born King of the Jews?" Because that was His status, that was what the prophecies said of Him. That was the role He occupied. And the person they approached t...

This is part four of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him. You cannot endure a Terrestrial glory in a Telestial state. Lying, and stealing, and deceiving, and adultery, and whoremongering (all of the abominations that people prize in this generation), your lusts, your ambitions, your desires to lord it over one anoth...

This is part three of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him. Doctrine and Covenants section 93, verse 1, says: VERILY, thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and k...

This is part two of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him. From what, then, were your spirits organized? Light and truth. Okay... At your core, at your nub, at the very essence of what it is that constitutes you to be you, what is it that constitutes you to be you? Light and truth. There’s another place where a descri...

This is part one of a series looking at the role of suffering in the life of the Savior, and how our own suffering brings us closer to Him. The incident that I want to look at is recorded only one place in Scripture. And even though it only appears one place in the Scripture, I think it’s one of the most thought-provoking and potentially rewarding discussions about the Lord that appears anywhere e...

This is the fouth part of a series on ascension, the process of rising up to the throne of God. The Lord is equal to the challenge. He will establish a new civilization. It will be founded on the fullness of His gospel. Lost truths will be restored; the path of righteousness will be returned.  Society is broken. Everywhere we see corrupt cultures based on corrupt laws, corrupt religions, corrupt v...

This is the third part of a series on ascension, the process of rising up to the throne of God. In the tenth talk, given in Phoenix two years ago, you were warned about false spirits, as happened in Kirtland, which you were warned would come among us. That warning has proven true. False spirits have mislead some into foolish errors. I am astonished at vain, foolish and prideful ideas that are anti...

This is the second part of a series on ascension, the process of rising up to the throne of God. I’m gonna read from the Seventh Lecture on Faith, paragraph 9, about Christ:  Where shall we find a saved being? for if we can find a saved being, we may ascertain without much difficulty what all others must be in order to be saved…. We think that it will not be a matter of dispute that two beings who...

This is the first part of a series on ascension, the process of rising up to the throne of God. In the tabernacle and, subsequently, in the temple that was built by Solomon, the temple divided up into three areas. There was an outer court into which was welcomed all of Israel. You had to enter Israel whether you were a priest or not a priest; all of Israel entered into the outer court. There was a...

This is the second part of a series on the Book of Abraham, where Denver uses the text of the Book of Abraham itself to provide powerful proof of its authenticity. The best evidence of translation authenticity is the text itself. As Hugh Nibley put it, “...it is the Book of Abraham that[‘s] on trial, not Joseph Smith as an Egyptologist, nor the claims and counterclaims to scholarly recognition by...

This is the first part of a series on the Book of Abraham, where Denver uses the text of the Book of Abraham itself to provide powerful proof of its authenticity. After Melchizedek, an apostasy lasted until Abraham. Although he was raised by an idolater and lamented that his fathers offered sacrifices to idols, Abraham searched for the true God of Heaven. Abraham found God, and the covenant of the...

In this installment, Denver discusses the new civilization to be built around a temple, that the Lord intends to bring about if we are willing. Enoch saw the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Christ into heaven. He wanted to know if Christ would return again from heaven to save the earth. In response to Enoch’s inquiry, the Lord gave a promise and covenant that is still unfulfilled. Here...

In this installment, Denver discusses what it means to have a firm mind in every form of Godliness. The right pathway is always filled with peril. King Benjamin said, and this is from the traditional account: (Mosiah 4:29-30 “I cannot tell you all the things whereby ye may commit sin; for there are divers ways and means, even so many that I cannot number them. But this much I can tell you, that if...
