I've felt the most unspeakable peace while listening to this interview. I've been searching and "knocking" for piece while I've been experiencing some very heavy grief. It was truly like a light breaking thru heavy darkness. Thank you ☺️
I listened intently to both of these, and the Givens affirm everything I've come to believe since some terrible brokenness of grief sent me to the arms of God to learn more of Him, and of His purposes, and His ways. My adult son died in transgression, and my deepest pain was wondering if our Savior's power to save would be efficacious for Him. I was raised with misunderstandings that were without the full truth of God's lovingkindness, grace, and mercy. I am without words to explain the immensity and beauty of what God has revealed to my soul, but the Givens and "The God Who Weeps" were instrumental two years ago, in opening my heart to Hope in the love of God whose glory it is to bring to pass the salvation and eternal life of His children. This is the God I've come to know. This is the God I can trust who knows how to make each child whole, and with His love, gather us home. His work continues among His children as the everlasting Father who loves, nurtures, heals and gathers, even in the spirit world. God is good at everything he does. His efforts are never failing, because they are eternal, and infinite in lovingkindness. Why would the love of God be anything less than the yearning of an ordinary mortal mother's heart? In my own pain and yearning, God has revealed something of His loving Eternal Parenthood to calm my heart. And I rejoice. God has "alchemized my suffering and grief into something beautiful". After listening to this series of two, the Spirit of God witnessed in deep and glorious ways, assuring me that what is said here is TRUE. Thank you Brother and Sister Givens for seeking God, and for helping reveal His goodness. I have received "beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness..." I praise His Holy Name. He is the God of the living and the dead. We can trust Him to heal us from the wounds of life, and to love us home. My tears are now less of grief, but rather of gratitude and rejoicing in God's goodness and love.
And they (inhabitants of the Telestial Kingdom) shall be servants of the Most High; but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end. D&C 112:76
There is eternal law. And eternal justice. God's power depends on Him exactly administering that justice and law. He has all power because all things have perfect confidence in Him. If He were to violate the least jot or tittle, He would lose the confidence of His creation, He would cease to be God, and all the workmanship of His hands would regress to chaos.

Raeann Peck AMEN!
Unbelievably beautiful! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I realize this was posted 4 years ago, but our belief is properly known as the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, not Mormonism.
