Spiritual Arson

In this episode, Adam and Tanner talk through the idea that God inflicts bad things upon us when He's displeased.

Is this true? What is the source of bad or chaos? When and why does God allow this to happen? And how are we supposed to respond to it?

They talk through both wrestling with and finding God in the wilderness (as Jacob) did and why that is so crucial to a healthy relationship with Him.

In this episode Adam and Tanner talk about the First Presidency's response to Russia's attack on Ukraine, why so many people are so angry about it, and why it was exactly the response it was supposed to be.

They talk about using nuance to either deepen your commitment to the Lord or to further justify yourself, how prophets see things through a spiritual lens, and more.

In this week's episode, Adam and Tanner try to work through the proper way to handle apostasy - both what we see in person and online.

They break down the different reasons and motivations for why we respond the way we do, admit to quite a few of their own errors in judgment and judging, and try to come up with an alternative solution that isn't milquetoast but also isn't so difficult to latch onto.

In today's episode, Adam and Tanner talk through the fallout with Brother Wilcox, cancel culture, kindness vs bullying, and how it all relates to being robust instead of fragile.

They talk how true anti-fragility can only be found through faith in Christ and a willingness to submit to the Lord.

From time to time, Adam and Tanner are unable to get together and record a new episode for the week - which provides the perfect opportunity to go back through previous episodes and either discover them for the first time or glean some new insights as you've hopefully grown spiritually since the last time you listened.

To that end, this week's episode is an encore presentation of episode #11- You're Suffering Wrong.

In this epidote, Adam and Tanner take a look at some of the controversial issues that arise in Moses 7 - including how God has used racial divisions in the past and no longer does so today.

They take a look at false versions of Zion and what happens when people try to recreate the fruits of the Spirit without first establishing the necessary roots.

In this episode, Adam and Tanner talk about the pitfalls of outright banning your kids from social media, along with other potential solutions to help them navigate that world.

Adam breaks down the relationships between different types of electronic entertainment and mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and Tanner draws socialization correlations from their homeschooling experience.

Like many previous episodes this is one that finishes with more questions than answers.

How is your worship? What makes it different from other aspects of your relationship with God? Is it intentional?

In this episode, Adam and Tanner walk through the limitations of only seeing God as the CEO of the universe and an intimate, loving father. They struggle with trying to define what worship is and how it should be done better and end up coming up with both a worship and anti-worship approach to the ceremonies and rituals we participate in as members of the Church of Jesus Christ.

What's your favorite Come Follow Me podcast? We don't care. At least, we don't care if you're just relying on them to do all the heavy lifting for you instead of learning to receive revelation for yourself.

In this week's episode Adam and Tanner talk about outsourcing our spiritual development, how the Saints practice tolerance, why revelation is so important, and how to ask the right kind of questions that lead to revelation and personal insights.

In this episode, Adam and Tanner talk through the importance of embracing some of the more difficult and unique teachings in Come Follow Me this week.

They hit on how God can make things both literal and metaphorical, the danger in limiting God to man's own understanding (both past and present), and how so many of our limitations are rooted in our own fear and pride.

Adam and Tanner also spend some time talking about goals and resolutions and the people who love to hate on those for using the new year as a time to start new habits. They discuss motivation vs discipline, the inertia of self development, and how we can all establish new, better baselines.
