In this episode Kerry interviews Robin Jensen from the Church History Department of the Church. Together they explore what it means to receive revelation from God, and how God worked with Joseph Smith as He revealed truths to His children. They talk about what that would have looked like for the early Saints. They delve into the simultaneously sacred and mundane nature of God speaking to His prophet, and how important it is that God does speak to prophets. They investigate the intimate nature of revelations, and the process of them becoming public. They speak about how this process applies to us in our personal revelation. They show how what we learn about Joseph receiving revelation echoes our own lives and is valuable for us to learn about. They discuss how Section One was revealed to be a preface for the D&C, and then they talk about how revelations came in general, and how that can help us understand the revelations we will study this year. Robin leads us through a discussion of what the Doctrine and Covenants is in general. They also explore the resources that are available as we study revelations this year.
We are so grateful for our generous donors, and for Launchpad Consulting Studios for producing the episode, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
The Doctrine & Covenants is a powerful book of scripture! Love the closing invitation to put Christ at the center of our lives.
That is what it all comes down to, isn't it?!?
Thanks to both of you for your insights! We will find Christ throughout this book! Love it!
Amen!
“Put Christ in the center of our lives” Thank you.
I hope we can all do better at that!
Thank you, brethren, for your insights and testimonies. I look forward to studying D&C this year, and listening to future TSAR episodes.
I am so glad we can help with that! Bless you!

This is going to be the best year yet. My second time reading the D&C. I always get more on the second read through. Thank you
I am so looking forward to this year too!
Powerful lesson! Thanks again brothers!!!
I am so glad it was helpful! I hope you can find even more wonderful stuff on our Patreon website (TSAR.website)
Thank you! I will be back next week! ❤🇨🇦
I am so glad to hear it. I think you will love last week's episode too, and the content on our Patreon website (TSAR.website)
This is all good. I suffer from LTS (long-term spiritual) fatigue. I can't even remember the last time I got an answer to a spiritual question...
I don't mean to pry but, what would you consider a spiritual question?
That is a hard place to be. A really hard place.
You may want to listen to an episode I did in 2022 with Emily Robison Adams where we talk about divine quietness.
@@TheScripturesAreReal Thank you. I'm really trying to get out of it. I know why people leave the Church now. I don't think most of them hate it, but they hate the feeling of being stuck, and the spiritual / cognitive dissonance that comes along with it. They see it as a solution--maybe not the ideal solution--but a solution nonetheless. I have more empathy for them than I used to.
Thank you.
I am so glad if it was helpful for you!
6. Behold, this is mine authority, and the authority of my servants ...
38. ... whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
It's interesting that the Lord starts and ends this preface to the D&C stating that His prophet has the authority to speak for Him. I think it's important that the Lord make this declaration early on. This declaration is not unique to Joseph. We even see this declaration for Nephi, son of Helaman. This shows that the Lord has full trust in His prophets and we should as well.
You are soooo right!
Why Ads??
We have ads (though I opt to not have ads mid roll) because we are in need of any revenue we can get in order to finance the production of the podcast. It is more expensive than most people realize, and in order to keep going, we need to take advantage of any revenue source we can find (until we find a donor who will bankroll the whole thing).
The Scriptures are real but the BOM and all the other LDS literature are NOT Sacred Scripture 🙏🕊
Thank you for your opinion. I have had enough spiritual and intellectual experiences to know that they are, but I am grateful that you would share your genuine concerns in a non-hostile manner. Thank you for that. We can both pray for each other, and Christ will bless us both!
