Today we pick up with part five of the Armour of God series. Today Sara Decker joins me as we have a conversation about the Helmet of Salvation. The first place we start is talking about the part of the body the helmet is meant to protect and what this part of the scriptures might be trying to tell us. From there we move on to talk about how to receive the revelation we need to navigate these last days, we talk about the importance of keeping the lines of communication open between us and heaven. We then move into wrapping everything up by talking about how this all fits into the motif of battle armour centering around the helmet of salvation and then finally about how to apply everything we talked about and in conjunction with what keeps us from doing so.

It’s on to part four of our series on the Armour of God. Today Joseph Hammonds as we sit down to have a conversation about the Shield Of Faith. We start off by getting a little bit of Joseph's back story, how he first came into contact with Mormonism then how he made the leap to accepting the Fullness of the Gospel. From there we break down the meaning of the term shield in Hebrew. From there our conversation shifts to what the Shield of Faith guards against, the fiery darts of the adversary. We break what those could be and how the adversary uses them to keep us from reaching our potential, and in this part of the conversation I relate and experience that I don't think I have ever shared before. We wrap this episode all up by asking the questions how we incorporate the Shield of Faith into our discipleship.

Today we continue our series on the Armour of God as Joni Molloy joins me and we have a discussion about having our feet planted in the Gospel of Peace. We first take a look at the symbolism of feet in the scriptures and what they might be trying to communicate to us. We then move to examine some of the places in scripture where peace is illuminated and defined. We then put together what the scripture in Ephesians and the Doctrine & Covenants are trying to tell us. We then move on to talk about what we can do to keep our feet firmly planted in the Gospel and have peace in an increasingly chaotic world.

Today we continue our series on the Armour of God. Today Cory Molloy joins me as we break down the concept of the Breastplate of Righteousness. We start by taking a look at the surface level understanding of the verse. From there we take a deep dive on how to put that part of the armour on and what prevents us from applying that protection in our lives as the conversation grows and becomes expansive in its scope as we talk about temptation and resisting those temptations to not put the Armour of God.

NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN!!!

Sometimes in scripture we see passages that are identical from the Bible to Restoration scriptures, when those appear I think the Lord is trying to emphasize to us how important the principle is. For the next few weeks, we are going to be talking about such a topic as we kick off the Armour of God series. You can find both of these passages in Ephesians 6:14-17 and Doctrine & Covenants 27:15-18. In this first episode we focus on girding ourselves with truth. To help me do this Joshua Winchell joins me as he first gives his backstory on how he found his way into the Fullness of the Restored Gospel, from there we move on to talk about the historical context in which Paul writes Ephesians which will shed some pretty interesting light on the scriptures in question. From there we move on to what girding ourselves in truth really means as we explore the idea from a surface understanding going deeper to reveal Temple connections and connections to our posterity.

On this episode Braxton Bogard joins me again as we wrap up our two-part series on the need for a restoration. Last week's episode about why we as individulas are in need of being restored back to God. In this week's conversation we look at why there needed to be a restoration of Christ's Church and Kingdom. We take a look into the Ecumenical Councils that would inform the beliefs of both Catholicism and Protestantism. We dive into everything from the Council of Nicaea to the Council of Constantinople and more. As we do so it becomes apparent on how the apostasy occurred and why Joseph Smith's restorative ministry was so needed and vital.

This is part-one of a two-part series on the need for a Restoration. On this episode Braxton joins me (as he will for part two) to talk about the need for a Restoration. In part one Braxton takes us through the scriptures showing us exactly why the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is needed on a personal level. Through our conversation we touch on things like personal apostasy, how covenants help become restored to God, what the difference is between personal restoration and sanctification, and how we can begin the process of personal restoration through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and many more topics. I can encourage you to come back next week where Braxton will breakdown why we need a Restoration of the Gospel as we dive into topics such as the Nicene and other councils that proved to end in apostasy and how the Restoration fixes that.

On this episode I dive into a subject, I never really wanted to cover, the Garment but.... here I am. To help me out with this I have Matthew on the podcast because of the wealth of knowledge he has on the subject. After completing this first episode it became readily apparent that at least a second episode will be needed, so this is just Part 1. Part 2 will drop most likely in a few weeks. On this episode we set the table for a more in depth look at sacred clothing in the scriptures and the Restoration. On this Part 1 Matthew tells us a little bit about his Mormon upbringing and how he found his way in the Fullness of the Restored Gospel. From there we take a look Garments through the lens of the Temple and Temple Covenants. Now we are very careful not to tread on sacred ground but none the less we end up having an insightful conversation that will defiantly get you ready for the next episodes in this series.

On this Episode I sit down with author and college professor Trina Boice to talk about two books that she has written that aims to deepen the faith in Christ of all who read. The first we talk about is the Via Dolorosa which chronicles the route that the Savior walked as he carried His cross to the place of His crucifixion, teaching us through that part of the Savior's life on how we can grow closer to Him. The second book we cover is The Language of Heaven which takes Hebrew words from scripture and opens up the mind of the reader to insights that may not be easily seen from a cursory reading. Along the way in our conversation, we talk about Trina's background and experiences and dive deep on many principles of the Restored Gospel that should serve as a springboard to help you deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ. Language Of Heaven⁠https://www.amazon.com/Language-Heaven-Dr-Trina-Boice/dp/1462150268/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=3Q4VWJOHFIYT8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TyG4dAka98J7UnRarmsEqWxnm7THSMfzpU-_1emqA4kBK-j_dG0z1SOsYs0LzoGoFLkh0UGPbdDboKV5eFiq4NNtTK9va-BHTrYWNgv8Eb0nMijo-fIfikWGSSVVo0C9C8dxk80iaVIeZ1dI-BGTzSJwAbjEae_Oo4EHmfwZ_fcejSuBI4SDttVUMkYBnd-Jyr0rdEo5TYcuz34dPDMtMQ.IGcaqxwCA8cVKo9xDl7kigAYx5E7TxPER-RrAxZ8lWk&dib_tag=se&keywords=trina+boice+books&qid=1766800852&sprefix=trina+boice%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1⁠Via Dolorosa⁠https://www.amazon.com/Via-Dolorosa-Christs-Path-Cross/dp/1462149561/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=3Q4VWJOHFIYT8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.TyG4dAka98J7UnRarmsEqWxnm7THSMfzpU-_1emqA4kBK-j_dG0z1SOsYs0LzoGoFLkh0UGPbdDboKV5eFiq4NNtTK9va-BHTrYWNgv8Eb0nMijo-fIfikWGSSVVo0C9C8dxk80iaVIeZ1dI-BGTzSJwAbjEae_Oo4EHmfwZ_fcejSuBI4SDttVUMkYBnd-Jyr0rdEo5TYcuz34dPDMtMQ.IGcaqxwCA8cVKo9xDl7kigAYx5E7TxPER-RrAxZ8lWk&dib_tag=se&keywords=trina+boice+books&qid=1766800852&sprefix=trina+boice%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-2⁠Restored Version Of The Scriptures⁠www.restoredscriptures.com⁠Music: Tackle It Free From Microsoft ClipChamp

Well the holidays are here and trying to keep meaning in those holidays can be pretty tough. One way to do this is to have a correct understanding of the events those holidays are being remembered and the Nativity and Christmas are no exception. This week Drew Briney joins me as we take a more scholarly look at the Nativity story. Drew with his wealth of information and resources lays out the Nativity from scripture to examine what the scripture actually says and what it doesn't, he draws out some hidden symbology, obscure ideas that would have been understood by the ancients, and who the magi were possibly, the significance of the gifts and the ties back to Adam and Eve, and what the timing of the events that made up the story of the Nativity. Stick around for all that and more.
