Summary

What if your understanding of God, Jesus, and even yourself is incomplete? Doctrine and Covenants Section 93 is a theological masterclass, offering mind-blowing insights that will deepen your relationship with the Divine and help you find your purpose. In this episode, we tackle the profound and beautiful theology of D&C 93. We begin by exploring the incredible promise that we can "see my face and know that I am" by following five simple steps. Next, we analyze the principle of "grace for grace," revealing how even Jesus Christ grew in His divinity and set a pattern for our own eternal progression. We'll discuss how the highest form of worship is emulation—striving to become like our Heavenly Parents and the Savior. Then, we dive into the core doctrine that "the glory of God is intelligence". We'll explore two layers of this truth: first, as the acquisition of knowledge , and second, as our eternal, co-existent nature with God. This leads to the remarkable revelation about the innocence of man at birth. Finally, we’ll bring it all home with the Lord's direct counsel to Church leaders—and to all of us—to "set in order your own house" and prioritize the most important work we will ever do: raising our families.

0:00.0	Hello, dear students, welcome back to class. And it's class we're going to be talking about today.
0:04.8	It's School of the Prophets, welcome. We are going to make prophets of us all. And to me, it's incredible
0:10.9	the way the Lord does that, line upon line, and revelation by revelation, especially throughout
0:15.4	the pages of the Doctrine Covenants. We've been seen some powerful revelations lately, things on war and on peace, the word of wisdom, the degrees of glory, oath and covenant of the priesthood, some incredible doctrine.
0:28.6	Today is no different. In fact, today might be, well, grad school at School of the Prophets, to be honest.
0:35.6	I mean, I loved my undergraduate education,
0:37.9	but I remember going on and doing advanced degrees. It was an advance, believe me, in terms
0:43.4	of the way it stretched my mind, the way it put my head in the clouds while I was still
0:49.0	trying to keep my feet on the ground. It was incredible. And especially at Divinity School, where you've got these people
0:55.3	that have spent their lifetimes studying religion, religious history, theology, homiletics, liturgics,
1:02.2	you name it, and to just be able to sit at their feet and soak it up. I loved it. Well,
1:08.6	section 93 is our revelation for the week. It's only four pages. This is a short one.
1:13.6	50-something verses, and it deserves a week of its own. Like I said, if this is school of the prophets kind of material, then today's a grad school kind of day.
1:23.6	And the Lord pulls no punches. He teaches at a depth that I think is surprising,
1:29.7	even for the Doctor in Covenants. He's going to part the veil in some ways and help us see
1:34.9	ourselves for who we really are, to see him for who he really is. There's some mind-blowing
1:40.5	things here. Okay. Honestly, Section 93 is an incredible, incredible revelation.
1:45.7	Now, one of the things that we're going to need to wrestle with, though, is the, well,
1:49.9	I'll put it this way.
1:50.5	The section heading has got to be one of the dullest section headings in the entire book,
1:56.3	especially in terms of how low it is, how mundane it feels, compared to the glorified content
2:04.1	of the revelation it introduces. If you look at the second heading, it simply says this,
