Thank you so much for changing and improving my view of the Endowment and temple experience from here on out. Thank you Brother Sweat for that beautiful explanation of the Endowment. I won’t see the temple the same anymore. I don’t think I will be sleepy anymore in the temple. I get it! Totally get it! Thank you. I think this is one of my very favorite episodes. Wow! I love it all.
The story about seeing your seminary teacher and he expounds "The church is true!" is so awesome. And is so much more the experience that people actually have than the occasional judgemental person. May we all be examples of forgiveness who strive to overcome the examples of unrighteous judgement.
As one who can rarely even get through a sacrament meeting, a hymn or even these podcasts without getting emotional (sometimes several times) I'm pleased to see others feel so deeply the things of God so embedded in their hearts.
This episode is mind blowing! Thanks so much! I miss the temple. I’m in St. George, in assisted living! I use to work in the temple, and I miss institute too. I’ve taken classes since 1975, so these podcasts Mean so much! I remember seeing John Bytheway in Ogden in the early 1990s. I was impressed then and still am!
Why do we apologize for being emotional! Please do not apologize for feeling the Spirit! It takes away from the rest of us feeling that same Spirit. Let's not give the impression that we are not supposed to feel emotion. I love to see and feel it. Thanks for your information and enthusiasm about our temple ordinances. I am going to be studying deeper.
I was already emotional before he started tearing up. When his voice started quivering, I said, "there it is." I knew it was coming because I already felt it.
I am so blessed to have followed your podcast since the beginning this year. I love your guests and what they say but I love how Tony Sweat brings the scriptures to life for me and what your podcast has done to help my study of the Doctrine and Covenants this year. I am so blessed. As Hank says, "This is my new favorite section!" Thank you!!!
This episode ties right in with President Nelson’s comment; “I fear that too many of our brothers and sisters do NOT grasp the privileges that could be theirs.” Thank you Anthony Sweat for showing us what the real purpose of the temple endowment is all about.......receiving those privileges that we might NOT be accessing. I referenced President Nelson’s talk, MINISTERING WITH POWER AND AUTHORITY OF GOD in the April General Conference 2018. I LOVE YOUR PODCASTS!! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!! I LOVE THIS PERFECTLY MARVELOUS GOSPEL! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and am keeping current and have taken a deep dive by starting from the beginning. I listen riding my bike in the morning and watch youtube whenever I am at home. I'm about to teach seminary for the third time I hope to get it right this time) and am grateful for the assistance from everyone who is a part of this great work.
I am so moved by this podcast, and also so sorry that I didn't know about it until Dec. of 2022. My husband also, wants to thank you from the bottom of his heart. I have loved all of the podcasts while studying the Old Testament, and they have changed my feelings and attitudes toward that book, but this Podcast has changed my perception of the temple ordinances, which will change my live. Can't thank you enough.
The synergy that comes from talking and sharing sacred impressions has blessed me today. I especially loved reminding me to study myself these words and letting the spirit teach me. Thank you.
This episode was mind blowing! It totally changed the way I see the endowment. So grateful for everything I’ve been learning in this podcast! Thank you!!!
Extraordinary lesson! This may be the best one so far because you got into the Temple and it’s divine purpose. I absolutely love this channel and love when Dr. Sweat is a guest.God bless all three of you.
I always like your presentation but I have to you guys hit this one out of the park. I had so many inspirational promptings during this. You know when the church wants you to focus on especially important chapters when there is only one for the week. Wonderful.
Bro Sweat, bless your heart! Thank you for wonderful uplifting and edifying insights to section 88! God bless you Brother Smith and Brother Bytheway and your whole entire team for creating these spectacular podcasts to supplement my personal studies and drink deeply from the scriptures. God is good!! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful knowledge about section 88 I am an ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple and this has touched me so deeply with a greater understanding of the endowment! Thank you for sharing your testimonies! Your time! My life is being forever changed by watching your podcast! Sending love and prayers 💕🙏
Thank you for the blessing of opening our understanding of gospel light and truth to better appreciate what our Heavenly Father an Savior want to give us.
This is so deep! I have to keep stopping, finding the references, adding notes to my scriptures basically taking a swan dive into Section 88. Thank you all so much for blessing our lives!
My husband works behind the scenes in TV so I understand what goes into a great production. Please tell your crew that I appreciate all of their efforts. My mind is blown and my testimony strengthen every time. Without them it wouldn’t be possible.
Thank you so much for your wonderful podcasts!! I listen every week. You and your fantastic guests have taught me much and also how to look at the scriptures more deeply. You bring the spirit into my home and heart. I am grateful for the temple insights Anthony Sweat shared , especially as I attended the temple yesterday for the first time since the pandemic ….and cried for joy. As a lifetime active member I still struggle with symbolism and seeing past the obvious. You are helping me to draw back that curtain a little.
Excellent lesson. But I will have to watch it a couple more times to more fully understand and have this knowledge planted deep in my brain and heart. Just so much awesome information. Thank you three and all those that I can't see!
Loved the entire podcast, but wanted especially to say thanks for the comments about Freemasonry and it's intersection with the church. It's something that I have always been interested in, and also knew many good men of integrity who were Freemasons. I find this fascinating and am glad for your thoughts. Truth can be found in many places.
Just love you all so much! I feel the Spirit so strongly when I listen. Brother Sweat, THANK YOU for sharing the story about how you were as a teenager. I worry so much about my young boys, and admire you greatly, so hearing that story stopped me in my tracks and made my jaw drop. It reminded me to have faith and be of good cheer even though my 12yo can argue about anything until the cows come home, and my 9yo has no interest in the Church or being baptized. Thank you all, again. ❤️
It’s been great adding your podcast to my weekly study of the Come Follow Me. Love that you guys historians of the church that bring the lesson to life!
Thank you for your testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Thank you for sharing the experience of what happened as the brethren were praying. I felt the spirit testify of the reality of that experience as you shared the story.
Words cannot describe the joy I feel after watching this video. So much enlightenment and greater understanding. Your podcasts with your fabulous guests are something I want to share with everyone and say “listen to this and open your eyes. Thank you Bro. Sweat for your clear explanation of the endowment, I must watch this a few more times then I may start to understand. Thank you Hank, John and My Turtle House for doing these podcasts with your great guests. May God bless you all.
Zebedee Coltrin .... get the book entitled "The Savior in Kirtland" by Karl Anderson ... Zebedee is also buried in the Spanish Fork City Cemetery .... you can read about him and then visit him ... ZColtrin's story is an awesome story of faithfulness. He participated in all the wonderful events that took place leading up to the Kirtland temple dedication ... He was true to his testimony. He loved the prophet J. Smith, Jr. .....
I am proof the "restored gospel" works. I was one way and because of Jesus Christ and his prophet Joseph Smith I am changed and continually changing. Thank you for helping me on this journey, your podcast is so valuable to me.
This is so so good. I love Tony Sweat. He is one of my favorites. Thank you so much for imparting your knowledge on us. What a blessing! Thanks for explaining the power of endowment. Wow! So so good.
I saw a meme yesterday that I can relate to it said something along the lines of ‘I’m unto my 2nd guardian angel. The first one is in therapy’. I had a chuckle but also hung my head in shame as in ‘yep!!, that’s me!!’ 🤦♀️😂. Thank you all for a beautiful and edifying podcast!! I learned so much and took so many notes. I think I’m going to need new scriptures soon 😳☺️💖
Wow! Again! So much insight and so much I have to learn about the temple. Thank you for sharing all of this, especially the spirit that you share and that I am able to feel! Amazing!
It was so powerful!!! You all did a fantastic job!!! Thank you all for sharing this significant video with us. This episode is a keeper!!!! Keep UP your great work!
Wow!!! What a beautiful episode about CFM, Doctrine and Covenants 88!!!! You all do such a great job 👍 Thank you for sharing your delightful insights. It was helpful for me to understand the scriptures thankfully. Each week, it’s been a tremendous blessing for me to do CFM study, it’s one of my great JOYs. Through your video, I found some things, I’d better to work on myself better to the Savior’s ways through His grace. It’s wonderful and I’m grateful for the things I need to repent of my sins and keep trying to be closer to my Lord Jesus Christ little by little. Thank you! I really loved watching this video, especially about the endowment and the power and the blessings in the temple!!!!
Anthony, I just bought your book on Amazon. I have memory problems, so I'm hoping your book will help me with my Temple Endowment experience. I watch everything that you have done... You're amazing!
i totally agree with this statement. as a matter of fact, our oldest son, when he was ordained an Elder prior to his mission, he was told in there "you will learn to recognize your Father in Heaven's great sense of humor" wow
Where would I find the story of Zebedee Culture (is that the name??) that starts around 43:00? Such a powerful record! I'd like to look it up and keep a copy of it.
I know Sheri Dew cautioned against knowing just enough about the gospel to feel guilty, and I've learned so much listening to you three, but how do you not feel such guilt when you still struggle with understanding the temple? Is it the concept of we're all on the path but at different places and God won't condemn us just because we're not as far along as someone else; he just cares we're on the path and striving to progress?
I don't believe that God is eager to condemn us. Part of the revelation to Joseph Smith was the idea that the other religious groups of the day had twisted who God is. He sent his Son to heal us and guide us and not to simply set an unattainable measure to then use to condemn us. We need to repent, but also be happy in the place where we are at as we seek God and Christ. Hang in there. I love something a heard... if at the judgment I'm not surprised I'll be really surprised....I think meaning that God will be the one begging us to want to stay and not us.

The Tower of Babel was not a temple. There was a temple nearby. The tower was an attempt to reach heaven. Like Ziggurats in the Near East, they also vied for God's attention by each city. Cities would be favored by God depending on how grand the ziggurat. They were also a way for God to "come down" for a visit. God did like the arrogance of the people building the Tower of Babel. He then confounded the language to multiple languages and scattered the people. The location is unknown, but some think the tower was in present day Iraq.
Thank you so much for changing and improving my view of the Endowment and temple experience from here on out. Thank you Brother Sweat for that beautiful explanation of the Endowment. I won’t see the temple the same anymore. I don’t think I will be sleepy anymore in the temple. I get it! Totally get it! Thank you. I think this is one of my very favorite episodes. Wow! I love it all.
i thought the very same thing. I just finally listened to this podcast. wow!
The story about seeing your seminary teacher and he expounds "The church is true!" is so awesome. And is so much more the experience that people actually have than the occasional judgemental person. May we all be examples of forgiveness who strive to overcome the examples of unrighteous judgement.
Dang, The Lord put more stuff into the scriptures again since the last time I read them.
Warren you are right. I could not stop watching even though I was planning on walking.
As one who can rarely even get through a sacrament meeting, a hymn or even these podcasts without getting emotional (sometimes several times) I'm pleased to see others feel so deeply the things of God so embedded in their hearts.
This episode is mind blowing! Thanks so much! I miss the temple. I’m in St. George, in assisted living! I use to work in the temple, and I miss institute too.

This is so deep! I have to keep stopping, finding the references, adding notes to my scriptures basically taking a swan dive into Section 88. Thank you all so much for blessing our lives!
Absolutely amazing opening of the mind to truth and light from the revelations of the restored Gospel.

Wow, I loved the temple insights. I had never seen the connection before when studying D&C 88. This helped immensely. Thank you!
Just love you all so much! I feel the Spirit so strongly when I listen. Brother Sweat, THANK YOU for sharing the story about how you were as a teenager. I worry so much about my young boys, and admire you greatly, so hearing that story stopped me in my tracks and made my jaw drop.

I must say to those that have not listened to this podcast, it is too good!! Thanks to all of you and your staff.
Very comfortable watching your tears as you bore testimony brother Sweat, as my husband has frequently done that as he prays.
Thank you for your testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Thank you for sharing the experience of what happened as the brethren were praying. I felt the spirit testify of the reality of that experience as you shared the story.

We have learned so much from this lesson ! Gordon & Deanna Farr
Oh Dr. Sweat how I wish I could sit with you in the Celestial room! I have so many questions!
Zebedee Coltrin .... get the book entitled "The Savior in Kirtland" by Karl Anderson ... Zebedee is also buried in the Spanish Fork City Cemetery .... you can read about him and then visit him ...

THANK YOU ANTHONEY SWEAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first part was so good. This 2nd part was so LIFE changing and live SAVING! Thank you!
I saw a meme yesterday that I can relate to it said something along the lines of ‘I’m unto my 2nd guardian angel. The first one is in therapy’. I had a chuckle but also hung my head in shame as in ‘yep!!, that’s me!!’ 🤦♀️😂. Thank you all for a beautiful and edifying podcast!! I learned so much and took so many notes. I think I’m going to need new scriptures soon 😳☺️💖
Thank you all for another amazing podcast. Section 88 is a wonderful revelation and I’m grateful for your knowledge and insight.

I had a great experience listening to this podcast🌿

Look forward every week to your podcast. Thank you. So strengthening & uplifting

I watch everything that you have done... You're amazing!
Thank you thank you thank you. I learned so much from this episode. ♥️♥️♥️
I have discovered that the most spiritually focused people have the best sense of humor and that those who don’t believe in God tend to be humorless.
i totally agree with this statement. as a matter of fact, our oldest son, when he was ordained an Elder prior to his mission, he was told in there "you will learn to recognize your Father in Heaven's great sense of humor" wow
Wow!!! I could listen to all you guys for hours and days!!!!
My grandmother was Stake Relief Society President when President Hinckley was Stake President. She always said “oh, Gordon B. loves a good laugh.”
Very powerful thank you for both of these podcasts .
Thank you Brethren, thank you.
Excellent. I love it! Thank you so much!!!
Such awesome information thank you so much...
A profound podcast!!
I wept the first Sunday I went back to church.
Gold nugget
Where would I find the story of Zebedee Culture (is that the name??) that starts around 43:00? Such a powerful record! I'd like to look it up and keep a copy of it.
I had the same question...here's a quick Wiki read on Zebedee Coltrin...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee_Coltrin
I know Sheri Dew cautioned against knowing just enough about the gospel to feel guilty, and I've learned so much listening to you three, but how do you not feel such guilt when you still struggle with understanding the temple? Is it the concept of we're all on the path but at different places and God won't condemn us just because we're not as far along as someone else; he just cares we're on the path and striving to progress?

Please don't ever compare anything about the Holy Temple to the Witchcraft of Harry Potter
I totally got that analogy and many of my grandchildren will also.
