0:00.0	Welcome to Search These Commandments, a standard of truth podcast production.
0:07.0	In this podcast, Dr. Garrett Dirk-Mott and Dr. Richard Leduc review each section of the Doctrine in Covenants and the revelations received by the Prophet Joseph Smith to strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding.
0:25.5	They approached the doctrine and covenants with faith, expertise, and humor.
0:37.7	Hi, welcome to Search These Commandments, a Standard of Truth podcast production.

1:25.1	studies of every book of scripture whenever we say,
1:28.5	oh, I'm going to read that from beginning to end. And for the first couple weeks,
1:32.4	yeah, you're doing it. And then after that, I'm just going to go back to reading the book of
1:36.2	Mormon. I get it. I get it. Well, so I mean, but 18 and 19, they're jam packs. We probably
