The Redemption of Zion Podcast

Alma the younger was a wicked idolatrous man, a great hindrance to the church going about secretly, flattering away the hearts of the people unto dissension. In our day, wicked miserable men publicly flatter away the hearts of the people who could otherwise be born of God if they would awake, arise, repent and be healed. How will the wise virgins stand in holy places and be not moved? Come, listen...

Where can we plainly see Faith in practice? Luke 17:5-6 -the parable of the mustard seed, 7-10- the master of the household and his slave and verses 11-19- the story of the 10 Lepers illustrate what faith is and what it isn’t. Receiving, understanding, acting on personal revelation and becoming the sons and daughters of Jesus Christ is the object of our faith. Humility is the ounce of prevention f...

In this episode Phil teaches that our eternal identity begins with the truth that intelligences are not created by God but are chosen by Him and organized into spirit bodies, then given opportunities to progress through mortality and act for themselves (D&C 93:29–32). Phil explains that we existed in the beginning with God, even the Spirit of Truth, and that all things are plainly manifest bef...

In part 2 of The Godhead- Mosiah 15 and John 17, Phil extrapolates the expanded sermons on this subject from Alma chapters 42 and 34 to define the titles of Jesus Christ as, God the Son, the Father of mankind and the Redeemer of the world.

Phil teaches that the Father and the Son are two distinct divine individuals who are perfectly united in purpose, will, and authority. He focuses on Mosiah 15 to show that scriptural language uses titles like “Father” and “Son” to describe Christ’s roles and relationship to God the Father, not to eliminate personal distinction. Christ is the Son because he was sent by the Father, took upon himself...

In part 13 of this continuing series, Phil teaches that salvation is deeply relational, rooted in entering and keeping covenant with God.

Phil outlines how the Spirit of Christ allows all people to discern good from evil...

In part 12 of this continuing series, Phil teaches that Jesus Christ has already paid the full price of redemption so we can enter into a covenant relationship with Him.

The first level is unconditional—every soul, except the sons of perdition, will receive a...
