"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald

My name is Mohamed, 38 years old, single, I am a ex-muslim, living in Morocco, I believed in Christ for 13 years, I baptist in swedish church in Stockholm, when I come back to my country Morocco I lost everything in my life, my family, my job, my friends, because of my faith in Christ, but I gained the path of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was with me through all the stages of my life until He placed me here with you, for teaching me the Book Mormon, I m alone I try to Teach myself, holy spirit guide me to learn book Mormon, Thank you for the deep insights you share on your podcast. You and your amazing guests are constantly teaching and uplifting me. Your words give me the courage and determination to follow him.
I love when you have Kerry Muhlstein on. ❤️
Without a doubt, Kerry Muhlestein can bring clarity and understanding to anything he teaches. I watch and study with him on every place he shares. Thank you all three, for your insights. This podcast has been a game changer for my personal knowledge, my spiritual journey and my always growing love for my Savior.
Such a deep doctrinal dive! I love my new insights that have come through today’s study. Thank you so much.❤
Thanks again brothers! This was fantastic!
I learn so much, I love this podcast, I knew Kerry’s Mother Leda in Ames, IA worked in the Primary, sorry to read she has passed, I loved her, will look forward to know we will meet again.
I love the fact that Nephi pointed out what we need to do to better follow the saviour: Full purpose of heart, no hypocrisy, no deception before God, real intent and so on... What a better way to follow the saviour.. it has to be real//
Another great discussion ❤
Hi. I wanted to share as we speak of enduring to the end, a friend and I coined it to be. "ENJOY to the end"! Hope you can help it catch on. Always wonderful discussions
Such great discussion in this episode, I felt like I was part of it with the scriptures open, the CFM manual open, and the Spirit confirming the truths to my heart. So grateful for the goodness of the Godhead. Thank you for all for listening to the Spirit and sharing your insights!
I love that Kerry pointed out being shown mental pictures of his physical scriptures to find the answer to something. The same thing happens with me!
...before the Holy Spirit entered my life, I knew no purpose for my existence & felt no reason to live...as a teen..baptism in the Church of JESUS CHRIST saved my life...to have "[received]] the Holy Ghost" is like that miraculous Vietnam rescue John spoke of in this lesson...p.s...my dad was in the U.S. Air Force (in the Office of Special Investigations) in Vietnam...@times of immediate need, the Holy Spirit HAS ALWAYS come to my rescue since the day I received Him...GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD to ALL who will have Him be their GOD...
I love the underlying message in the story about President Nelson and the heart valve. Sometimes, the answer to our prayers doesn't come until we are metaphorically hovering over an open chest and all other work has been done. Sometimes the Lord waits until we literally can't take another step on our own without His help. I think that the lesson here is, "Keep swimming, keep swimming, keep swimming..."
There is good growth in those difficult times. It can be terrifying and lonely. He ALWAYS comes at the best time. This is why we need to always remember Him. By remembering the past times when He helped us we can have the confidence to step out in faith.
Jewish teaching teaches something similar. When the Israelites were at the Red Sea, the water didn’t part until they were wet up to their necks.
not that it is significant but i noticed Hank didn't have his often lesson -related adjective for Brother Bytheway in this episode 🤣. Dr. Kerry is here and it is time well-spent for me.
I absolutely love your podcasts, as I listened to Brother Muhestein I was paticularly interested in his reference to the article by Elder Oaks entitled Scripture Reading and Revelation. I want to offer the correction of where that article is found, January of 1995.
Thank you. I was looking for this and thought, maybe someone provided the correct reference. Thanks for correcting this to make it easier to find.
I love learning with you from the Scriptures and general authorities. Your examples and stories are always top-notch! Pleasure to hear all of you sharing your insights!
Thank you so much for doing these podcasts. How blessed are we who listen to you
Baptism of Resurrection is water, but that discussion was Fire!! 58:00-1:00:00 Love it!
The Holy Ghost knows how best we learn, for me He knows I am a visual learner, so like Hank, who seems to be a visual learner too, I receive images, that I then draw in my scripture journal to help me learn things better.
Thx so much for ably playing the roles of Philips for this Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8) and for bringing so many other wonderful Philips to us. Quick adjustment: went searching for Elder Oaks’ answer to the question “Are you saved?” In his April 1995 talk to add it to “My Testament” but found it in his April 1998 talk of the Same name. Thanks so much again!
I love the way the Holy Ghost tells you in your mind thank you so much
Elder Oaks's comment at time code 51:03 is from April 1998 General Conference instead of 1995 for those who wanted to read it.
Thank you for that clarification, I wanted to look it up and read it.
Thanks! Awesome!
Thank you!!!!!
I can see in my mind to the lesson plan in my mind.
3 Nephi 27:13-16 contains the doctrine of Christ. The heart of the doctrine in verse 13 states that Jesus came to do the will of The Father. The core of the doctrine of Christ is that Jesus was lifted up on the cross, it is his Atonement. The application of the doctrine of Christ is the principles of repentance, faith, baptism, the reception of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.
Article of faith #3 contains it all: We believe that through the Atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.
Thank you for closed captioning. Brother Muhlestien's voice box resonates at an audio frequency that gives me a headache. I feel my eardrums are vibrating.
(A measurable and studied auditory phenomenon I learned not a few people suffer from.)
I was upset to think I had to turn CFM off, especially when he is your guest, but remembered closed captioning. One suggestion I recommend would be to add in names of speakers before they speak for clarity.
Thank you for a wonderful discussion.
I follow along with the transcript. That is also an option.
His new book is sold out everywhere 😢sounds amazing book to read
The man President Nelson performed that operation on was Spencer W. Kimball, then an Apostle, and later the Prophet.
Can you please provide the sources for both Elder Christofferson and Elder Eyring comments about the Holy Ghost being the deliverer of the blessings of the Atonement? I loved learning this important concept! Thank you!
It’s interesting when something is given to us from “The First Presidency” we don’t ask which one said it. We know they are unified in saying it. But we have such a hard time with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost speaking unified. We always want to know who said this? Was that the Father or the Son? I love the Follow Him podcast! Thank you for helping us Follow Him.
Wonderful, as always. But I have a question...Kerry mentions that baptism is the only ordinance that specifically mentions the entire Godhead--the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. What about the sealing ordinance?
Where is it found about the Holy Ghost waiting to receive a body at the end?
I would LOVE to know this. This was a mind blowing new idea for me and I really, really want to know more on this.
I have heard this before but am not aware of a source.
Yes, please share your source for this information on the Holy Ghost!
Absolutely, I listen to this in the podcast app, but had to come to RUclips to get to the comments and see if anybody had a source. I heard this once a long time ago and had been starting to question whether I had ever heard it at all. Please, I would love to know the sourcing on that.
Joseph Smith said the Holy Ghost will one day receive a body. He said: “The Holy Ghost is yet a spiritual body and is waiting to take to himself a body, as the Savior did.”[Joseph Smith, Encyclopedia of Joseph Smith’s Teachings, edited by Larry E. Dahl and Donald Q. Cannon (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1997) See also: The Words of Joseph Smith, p. 382.]
For all those who want to serve but are "struggling to stay awake", perhaps asking for an assistant would be appropriate 😉

“John Kerry is not new to our podcast.”
I don’t remember that episode, think I would’ve remembered.
He visited during Old Testament year on here, it was fantastic.
Commas are important!
50:58 The quote from Elder Oaks about being saved is from April 1998, not 1995. BTW, this is a really good episode. :) And someone had already offered this correction.
💙💙
I find it interesting the Lehi did not begin to have visions depicting Jesus coming the first advent until he studied the brass plates. I would put forward that in the brass plates are many of the plain and precious truths that were testified about by Zenos, Zenock, and Neum and that were taken from the scriptures and preserved in the BofM. Note how Lehi and Nephi are surprised by the doctrine of a dying and resurrecting God. Apparently as good "Jews" they had not heard of these doctrines before. These doctrines of an atoning God who pays for our sins were first presented to them in the brass plates and they then grow in that understanding through their own revelation. The anger expressed by the Jews toward Lehi and toward Zenos, Zenock, and Neum (they were all killed) was because they testified that these Jews would kill their own God. Thus Lehi had to get out of town or be killed himself. Anyway, it is an interesting thought.
hum.... at 25 minutes, we talk about "real intent" and that we are working on that, to have real intent. And if we go to God, He will help us to get there. So, do we REALLY want to change? Or do we "pray a lie" to make us feel less pain for our rebelious nature. We ask for help when really we want to hold on to our sins. If God then hears that insincere prayer and changes our nature - WOULD that be counter to our agency? How can God help us when we so consistently resist? Do we really want to change, or do we lie to ourselves? I'm truly very confused by this...
at 29 minutes... I like what he says. You get tossed from the horse; will you give up, quit coming? Or will you stay at it. But sometimes I wonder, WHY do I come back? I wonder if I'm fooling myself. But then... how many have their calling and election? Perhaps not knowing the end is part of the test? Even when you don't know how things will turn out, even when the possiblity of success seems so far away.. will you STILL try? I wonder if I will ever be sincere.
Perhaps baptism was not a foreign practice in the OT. It was just edited out along with Zenos, Zenock, and Neum and the doctrine of a dying/resurrecting God.

Insert The Mandalorian jokes here
The doctrine of Christ is not "the whole story" the doctrine of Christ is the foundation. If you're not built on this foundation there is no story / intended gospel experience
