| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate relevance and application |
| 0:08.0 | of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. |
| 0:10.1 | We also dive into the history and cultures of the text. |
| 0:13.4 | Thanks for taking the time to share and subscribe to this podcast. |

| 0:24.4 | Welcome. For show notes, head over to our website, talkingscripture.org. Welcome to Talking Scripture. I'm Mike. And I'm Bryce. And today we are going to be doing |
| 0:28.5 | Section 64, 65, 66. Section 64 is September 11, 1831. This is when Joseph gets back from Missouri and some of the |
| 0:41.8 | missionaries are now arriving back in Ohio. And a big part of the context of this section is |

| 1:35.6 | see the Lord not only rebuking others, but also acknowledging that Joseph Smith is a person. |
| 1:42.2 | And to me, a big part of this section is how do we look at other people when we see |
| 1:48.3 | their faults? |
| 1:49.1 | How do we view them? |
| 1:50.3 | I believe that Ezra Booth is a big part of this section as a backdrop. |
| 1:55.8 | Knowing that story that he's a disaffected member of the church, he's going to come at the church |
| 2:00.5 | after this revelation |
