All is not well in Zion. This is really where the history of the church kicks into high gear.

Even in the midst of their most severe trials, the Lord prescribes gratitude.

Focusing on the good in our lives can help us gain the strength to overcome our trials.

Things are going to work out. The Lord has heard your prayers.

Just general good counsel when anybody's going through a rough time period in their life

is to be grateful for what you have and be patient in your tribulation. Life isn't always supposed

to be easy that the refiners fire often is utilized by God to make us better. And this is part of

the reason why faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel.

We can't know everything and we can't control everything. So we have to have trust in God.

It's not always easy to tame the natural man, but our theology is to do just that. How you

accomplish that without the help of God, I don't know. It's going to work out, ultimately, in the end.

Hello, Scott. Hello, Casey. We're back. We're back. And we are probably tackling what is the biggest

block of scripture this entire year of study of the doctrine and covenant, sections 98, all the way to

section 101, which numerically doesn't

sound like a lot, like a lot, but there are two big, long revelations in here that require a lot

of unpacking. Oh yeah, we're talking Section 98, which is a response to Missouri Troubles and

Kirtland Troubles. Then we get 99, a John Murdoch, mission call. And Section 100, which is Joseph and Sidney Rigdon being called on a mission to Canada.

And then Section 101 is the Lord's response to escalating Missouri persecutions, which includes all kinds of cool stuff,

bursts of millennial prophecy mixed with insights on the U.S. Constitution and a ton more coming at us this week. So, lots to discuss.

In fact, there is so much material this week, Scott, that we might, for the first time,

have to split things into three episodes. Okay. So episode 1, 98, episode 2, 99, and 100.

And episode 3 this week, Section 101 for our first time ever. Sounds fun.
