What is the Priesthood, exactly? Who has it? What does it do? The questions (and more) occupy our focus this episode as begin our study of one of the pinnacle revelations in the Doctrine & Covenants. Discover with us the expansiveness of God's power, invest you mind and heart into your study by pondering how you can draw that power into your own life, and connect to God through greater diligence.

Sections 81-83 - Bound

The word "covenant" is one of the more oft-used words in the Church. However, in our traditional attempts to scribe it we may diminish the power of the principle and, thus, diminish our own ability to be more powerfully connected to God. In this episode we discover an expanded definition of covenants and ponder how we can better covenant with God and others.

Section 76 - Vision

If you were asked to guess which kingdom of glory you will go to, what would you say? How confident would you be in your answer? In this episode we study "The Vision" in D&C 76 in search of truths about God's character and expansive power to save that help us feel more confident in salvation and, thus, live with more peace and joy.

Sections 71-75 - Expedient

Often, as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, it can be difficult to delineate between what is eternal and unchanging and what is more temporary and changeable. Whether it's statements in the scriptures or by Church leaders, particular policies or practices, or even truths and teachings, identifying what is permanent and what is not can be essentially important. In this episode we approach that very task as we study instructions the Lord gave to early Church members.

Sections 67-70 - Abundance

"Abundance" is certainly a buzz word in common parlance today, but the idea of abundance, divine abundance, originates from God. This week we study dive into a study of that divine abundance, how it works, and what we can do to qualify ourselves and others for it.

Sections 64-66 - Kingdom

When the Prophet dictated the prophetic plea that the "kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come" it was revealed, not just a future event, but a present one as well. We can and should belong to and benefit from the kingdom of God on earth, now. In this episode we discover how, invest in our relationships with others, and are challenged to extend forgiveness.

Sections 60-62 - Matters

Do you like spinning plates? No, neither do we. In this episode we study the things that don't matter to the Lord and, by implication, the things that do matter to Him. As we learn together you might ask yourself the question, "What matters to the Lord in my life right now?"
