The Forbidden Bible: How William Tyndale Changed the World ForeverWhat if reading the Bible in your own language was a crime punishable by death? In this episode, we dive deep into the harrowing and inspiring story of William Tyndale, the man who gave his life so that even a "plow boy" could know the scriptures better than the clergy.We trace the timeline from St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate to John Wycliffe’s handwritten translations, and finally to Tyndale’s revolutionary work. Tyndale didn't just translate from other versions; he went back to the original Greek and Hebrew, giving us the foundation for over 80% of the King James Version we read today.Join us as we discuss: The secret smuggling of "pocket Bibles" into England. Why the authorities were so afraid of the "common" language. The emotional sacrifice of Tyndale’s martyrdom and his final prayer for the King of England. How this quest for religious liberty paved the way for the U.S. Constitution and the Restoration of the Gospel through Joseph Smith.As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 200th anniversary of the Church, we reflect on the divine hand that moved through these "brave people" to ensure we have the word of God today.Celebrating the 250 years of the US:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/celebrating-freedom-and-agency/01?lang=engElder D.

We go through this fantastic story. We love this. Check out the episode and then go read Ruth for yourself. Comment with your thoughts on Ruth. LIKE SUBSCRIBE SHARE! Thank you for your support!!! Keep being #fearless in your study!In the days when the judges ruled, a famine drives Naomi and her husband Elimelech from Bethlehem in Judah to the land of Moab. Tragedy strikes: Elimelech dies, and years later both of their sons also pass away, leaving Naomi widowed and childless with her two Moabite daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth.When Naomi hears that the Lord has visited His people with food, she decides to return home. Orpah stays in Moab, but Ruth makes one of the most beautiful declarations of loyalty in Scripture: “Entreat me not to leave thee… for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” (Ruth 1:16).The two widows arrive in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest. Ruth, seeking to provide for them, gleans in the fields and providentially comes to the portion belonging to Boaz—a wealthy and honorable kinsman of Elimelech. Boaz notices Ruth’s diligence, kindness, and devotion to Naomi, and he protects and blesses her.Following Naomi’s wise counsel, Ruth boldly approaches Boaz at the threshing floor and asks him to act as kinsman-redeemer. After a closer relative declines, Boaz willingly redeems the family line, marries Ruth, and restores Naomi’s hope. Their son Obed becomes the grandfather of King David—placing Ruth, a Moabite outsider, directly in the royal lineage that leads to the Messiah, Jesus Christ.#jesuschrist #ruth #viral #new #episode #love #boaz #highpriest #bible #study #scripture #fearless #naomi #faithful #redemption

We are #fearless as we dive into this topic of women and healing in church history. Shout out to our missionary friends for sending us this topic! In this powerful episode, we uncover the remarkable history of women in the early Latter-day Saint Church who exercised the gifts of healing through faith. From New Testament foundations in Mark 16 and 1 Corinthians 12 to Joseph Smith’s direct counsel to the Relief Society, discover how pioneer sisters served as true ministering angels.Joseph Smith taught in 1842 that there was "no sin" in women laying hands on the sick when done in faith. We share inspiring accounts, including the diary of Maryanne Burnham Freeze and Zina Young’s legacy of over hundreds of documented healings and blessings.We also explore the 20th-century shift, the 1946 instructions, and what this history teaches us about priesthood authority versus the power of faith today — including insights from President Dallin H. Oaks on the fullness of the priesthood requiring righteous men and women.🔑 Key Topics:• Scriptural gifts of healing for all believers• Joseph Smith’s teachings to the Relief Society• Washings, anointings & confinement blessings• The transition in Church practice• Women’s spiritual gifts in the ongoing RestorationPlease LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE with someone who needs to hear this history!#LDS #ReliefSociety #ChurchHistory #FaithHealing #JosephSmith #LatterDaySaints #WomenInTheChurch #Restoration #fearless #faith #healed #mormon #history #women #gender #priesthood #viral #new #episode #newepisode #dallinhoaks #prophet #oaks #josephsmith Research:Journal of Mormon History:https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1064&context=mormonhistoryZina D.H.

In this episode, we open up about our individual and shared paths from routine religion and skepticism to a deep, active conviction in our faith. We dive into how we moved past unanswered questions and "convenience-based" religion to find a spiritual home that finally makes sense.In this episode, we discuss:A Glimpse into Our Chaos: Before getting into the deep stuff, we share a quick life update—from raising 28 chicks and 10 ducks to growing giant pumpkins and our never-ending home remodel. Nikki’s Path from Atheism: How a childhood in the Lutheran church led to years of agnosticism and atheism, viewing the Bible as a work of fiction, until a powerful, physical spiritual experience while running changed everything. Ethan's Come Back: Growing up LDS without real conviction, Ethan shares his struggles with "saving doctrine" vs. his interest in biblical stories with unanswered questions, and how he navigated a previous temple marriage and divorce before finding his own testimony. The Power of Context: The impact of Jordan Peterson’s  @JordanBPeterson  Bible series and the "Stick of Joseph"  @thestickofjoseph   @WARDRADIO  in helping us understand Hebrew context, archaeology, and the significance of metal plates. The Urgent Temple Prompting: The incredible simultaneous feeling and urgent need to get to the temple, followed immediately by a missionary visit that gave us the details on church and when to show up on Sunday.

Holy Tuesday & Wednesday: Teachings, Warnings & Betrayal – Facts, Prophecies, and KJV ScripturesJoin us as we explore the powerful middle days of Holy Week with a clear, scripture-focused look at Tuesday and Wednesday.On **Holy Tuesday**, Jesus faces challenges to His authority in the Temple. He teaches parables, answers difficult questions, pronounces the Seven Woes against hypocrisy, commends the poor widow’s sacrificial giving (the widow’s mite), and delivers the Olivet Discourse on the Mount of Olives — prophesying the Temple’s destruction, signs of the end times, and His return as the Son of Man coming in the clouds.On **Holy Wednesday** (often called Spy Wednesday), Jesus is anointed with costly spikenard at Bethany in preparation for His burial. Meanwhile, Judas Iscariot agrees to betray Him for thirty pieces of silver, fulfilling Zechariah 11:12.We also discuss an alternative timeline view held by some scholars: the possibility of **two Sabbaths** that week (a “high day” Passover-related Sabbath in John 19:31 plus the weekly Sabbath). This view suggests the Last Supper may have occurred on Wednesday evening, with crucifixion on Thursday, allowing a more literal “three days and three nights” in the tomb (Matthew 12:40) and explaining the women’s spice preparation on a non-Sabbath day. We present this alongside the traditional Thursday Last Supper / Friday crucifixion understanding.This episode covers (all KJV):• The withered fig tree and faith-filled prayer (Matthew 21:20-22)• Temple controversies (Matthew 23)• The widow’s mite – true sacrifice (Mark 12:41-44)• The anointing at Bethany (Matthew 26:6-13)• Judas’ betrayal agreement (Matthew 26:14-16)• Old Testament prophetic connections (Daniel 7, Zechariah 11)Perfect for deep Bible study during Holy Week.If this blesses you, like the video, comment your thoughts on the timeline or your favorite teaching from these days, and subscribe for our final episode on Holy week coming up!#HolyWeek #HolyTuesday #SpyWednesday #OlivetDiscourse #TwoSabbaths #KJV #BibleStudy #newepisode #motivation #latterdaysaints #jesuschrist #lds #faith #fearless #podcast #josephsmith #youtubeshorts #

Palm Sunday & Holy Monday: The King Enters and Purifies – Facts, Prophecies, and Scriptures (KJV)Join us for a clear, scripture-focused look at the beginning of Holy Week. On Palm Sunday, Jesus makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding a colt, fulfilling Zechariah 9:9. The crowds wave palm branches and cry “Hosanna – Save us!” as prophesied in Psalm 118.On Holy Monday, Jesus curses the fruitless fig tree and cleanses the Temple, driving out the money changers with a scourge of small cords (John 2:15). He declares, “My house shall be called the house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:7, Matthew 21:13).This episode covers:• Bible accounts from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John• Old Testament prophecies fulfilled• Historical meaning of palm branches (Leviticus 23, 1 Maccabees)• The symbolic fig tree and Temple cleansingPerfect for personal Bible study or Holy Week preparation.📖 Scriptures featured (all KJV):- Zechariah 9:9- Psalm 118:25-26- Matthew 21:1-9- John 12:12-15- Mark 11:12-14 & 21:12-13- And moreIf this blesses you, like, comment your favorite verse from the episode, and subscribe for the full Holy Week series (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday coming soon)!#PalmSunday #HolyMonday #HolyWeek #KJV #BibleStudy #TriumphalEntry #TempleCleansing

When we started recording, we sat at our dining room table and used an old phone to record the video. Some careful editing to line up the audio and video and add some scripture slides, we had our first episode about the Tolah. Fast forward a year and we've been able to update how we record and we rerecorded our original episode! Excited to get this posted and all the scriptures are referenced in the video with visuals. This is a fun and informational deep dive on this topic. Thank you to everyone who watches our episodes! Our goal is to be fearless in our study of the scriptures and to share what we have learned. #fearless What if a tiny worm hidden in the pages of the Bible pointed directly to the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross? In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the mysterious Tolah Worm (Hebrew: Tola'at or Tola'ath Shani) — the "crimson worm" mentioned in Psalm 22:6 where the Messiah declares, "I am a worm and no man."Discover the incredible life cycle of this ancient insect from the Middle East: how the female attaches herself to a tree, gives her life to protect and nourish her young, and produces a brilliant scarlet dye used for the Tabernacle curtains, priestly garments, and temple veil. This isn't just fascinating biology — it's a powerful prophetic picture of redemption, sacrifice, and the blood of Christ.From the Hebrew wordplay (where "tola" means both worm and scarlet/crimson) to its stunning parallels with the crucifixion, this episode reveals how God embedded the Gospel in one of the smallest creatures in creation.If you've ever wondered about the deeper meanings hidden in Scripture, this one will blow your mind. What does the Tolah worm teach us about Jesus?
