In this episode Kerry and Andy talk about the role of Moroni and how he leaves us with a powerful testimony. They especially explore the role of the Holy Ghost in the way that Moroni talks about it, and how it draws on the Doctrine of Christ.

Dr. Skinner points out and teaches about the 8 exhortations that Moroni gives us in this one chapter. He touches on the need to remember, and to ask, and the power of the Holy Ghost and how it enters us and changes us and helps us understand and know all things. They also talk about the gifts God gives us and how they are not over and we should experience them. They also talk about how pride can rob us of joy and these gifts. They also talk about loving godliness more than ungodliness, and letting God prevail in your life. They talk about the grace of God in all of this.
