This episode focuses on Doctrine and Covenants Sections 121 through 123, often referred to as the “Liberty Jail revelations,” which were received by Joseph Smith while he was confined for four frigid months in the dark, filthy dungeon of Liberty, Missouri, during the winter of 1838–1839. Amidst the suffering and scattering of the Saints, the Prophet cried out, "O God, where art thou?", and in response, "knowledge from heaven" came pouring down. The sacred doctrine taught in this episode explores four powerful principles: adversity can “be for [our] good” and provide experience; true power and influence flow from righteousness, patience, and virtue, rather than unrighteous dominion or worldly means; Jesus Christ descended below all things so that He is perfectly positioned to lift us; and finally, the command to "cheerfully do all things that lie in our power" while waiting with assurance to see the salvation of God.
