Teaching Doctrine Over Culture in a Fallen World – S3E4
Welcome to another episode of Endure to the End with Josh and Caitlin.
In this episode, we respond to questions from our Instagram community and dive into a thoughtful discussion about how this generation is living the gospel differently than previous generations.
We talk about the difference between doctrine and culture, especially here in Utah. Perfectionism can sometimes creep into church life in ways that aren’t really doctrinal at all. We want to be careful not to judge ourselves or others by human standards that God never intended.
Service and church callings are meant to help us grow and connect with one another and with God. But enduring doesn’t require us to be perfect. It requires us to be sincere, humble, and willing to keep trying.
We also explore how we want to teach our children — focusing on gospel principles instead of comparisons. We discuss boundaries, agency, and why growth comes line upon line. Just like you can’t cheat running, you can’t cheat spiritual progression either.
The main takeaway:
Give your best effort. Trust God’s grace. And don’t get trapped chasing an image of perfection.
We close with a powerful scripture from Ether 12:27 about weakness, humility, and the sufficiency of grace in our lives.
