Weekly Deep Dive

Before diving into D&C 85 – 87, Jason hits ministering of angels from D&C 84. Diving into this section, D&C 85 is the main focus. First, we see another example of the impact studying the scriptures had on Joseph Smith receiving revelation. We look at Ezra 2 and the impact record keeping had on a much earlier restoration. Then we see how Joseph Smith learns and applies these lessons to...

This dive through D&C 84 starts off asking the question, “how can God call a man who killed someone to be his prophet and law giver?” In addition, Moses and Nephi seem to follow parallel paths. Next, Jason and Nate examine the lineage of the priesthood. Unlike the line of Christ, the priesthood line breaks and jumps across different families. Jason and Nate then explore the purposes of the Aar...

Before diving into D&C 81 – 83, Jason revisits the Testament of Adam. This is in reference to D&C 76 where God states that he will make men Gods. After that walk-through, Jason and Nate take us to section 81. Here we see an example of a talent taken from one person and gifted to another. This section also gives us some perspective to names removed from the Book of Life. Moving into section...

In this dive in to D&C 77 – 80, Jason and Nate answer the all important question, are there dinosaurs in Heaven? The discussion starts off breaking down the significance of Joseph Smith’s questions and answers he had while translating the book of Revelation in the Bible. First, they look at what it means to see into different time. This results in a discussion pre-destiny and how seeing the fu...

In D&C 76, Jason and Nate explore the meaning of the word Telestial. They talk about the doings of the Lord. They explore the meaning behind multiple eternities. Jason walks us through a mathematical approach to God and man with the symbolism of an asymptote. Next, they examine the fall of Satan and what it means to be perdition. Afterwards, Jason looks at what it means to inherit the Celestia...

In this weeks deep dive of D&C 71 – 75, Jason and ‘Titanium’ Nate take us on a tour of late 1831 and early 1832. From a church history perspective, D&C 71 – 75 is based around the translation of the Bible. First, Ezra Booth writes a series of letters that culminates in one of the darkest moments for the prophet in church history. Because of these letters, the early church struggles to find...

Nate returns for this week’s journey through D&C 67 – 70. In D&C 67, the Lord offers an interesting challenge for those still not convinced that the revelations given were Gods words. Write your own revelation and see if you can do better. As we explore these events, we take a closer look into the life of William E. McLellin. Next, we dive into a privilege and a promise given to those call...

In this episode, Jason takes us through D&C 64 – 66. The meat of the episode focuses upfront on what it means to overcome the world. Sometimes faith requires belief in the absurd. Abraham believed he would still have Isaac after sacrificing him. Nephi believed he could build a boat and cross a sea. Many times, faith will alienate us from everyone around us. The angel Gabriel didn’t tell the wo...

Thanks for being patient as I get these posted! This episode dives into D&C 63. Nate introduces this episode with an interesting version of “Give Said the Little Stream,” as a tribute to primary. Jason takes a quick detour to go back to section 61 and examine the land cursed by God in the beginning and blessed by God in the end. He also explores God cursing the waters in the last days. Transit...

D&C 60 – 62 opens with a reference to the parable of the talents and who better to take us on this journey than Nate? He’s been looking forward to getting to the heart of what this parable means and how it applies here in Doctrine and Covenants.

Jason and Nate journey into the meaning of the center place. Along the way, they talk about the sacred center in Near Eastern and Greek religion. They explore paradise restored through the temple. Jason builds on the idea pointing out that any point is essentially the center of a sphere and how the universe does center around us. Jason then explores how do we make sure our sacred center is placed...

Jason and Nate start by talking about the Shakers and then they look at why the Lord tends to favor the right hand verses his left hand when talking about favor. They visit the importance of always being ready and constantly repenting. It is interesting God says there are some that he has reserved to himself that do not need repentance, but doesn’t tell us anything more about them. The Lord emphas...

The majority of this episode focuses on spiritual gifts. While exploring why God gives his children spiritual gifts, we make comparisons with the Greek heroes, namely Perseus. We also journey into the word choice found in D&C 46. Along this path, we ask why the Lord uses the words ‘seduced’ and ‘lust’ when he talks about being deceived?
