Episode 13: "Be Not Afraid"

-

Listen to Episode 13: "Be Not Afraid" here.

In this episode, we discuss the feeding of the 5,000, Christ (and Peter) walking on the water, and interview my friend Silvana about times of doubt and fear where she had to trust in her Heavenly Father. Thanks Silvana for letting me interview you!!!



Also I talk about how sometimes when life is going "good" I get nervous that something bad is coming and I just don't know it...like when my sister had a lovely quiet afternoon until she realized that silence isn't always so golden....sometimes you pay for it with little mud covered boys! Basically I worry that the spiritual equivalent of mud covered children is waiting for me whenever I feel like life is too "good" or "quiet".









“No doubt the pool of Bethesda was a mineral spring whose waters had some curative virtue. But any notion that an angel came down and troubled the waters, so that the first person thereafter entering them would be healed, was pure superstition. Healing miracles are not wrought in any such manner” (Bruce R. McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3 vols. [1965–73], 1:188).

Some of the awesome Art I talk about in this week's episode:

This week we talk about the law of opposition, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Nephi's a poet, and the curse of the Lamanites. The Come Follow Me print manual is different from the online version of the manual for the section 2 Nephi 5:20-21 "What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites". I recommend that you read the online version as the most up to date commentary on this section.

Listen to Episode 5, Part B here. I loved Episode 5 SO MUCH, but I just couldn't go on without talking about John the Baptist, Jesus' Baptism, the Pharisees, and Vipers.  So here it is- a rushed rundown of Christ's baptism and an outtake from the original Episode 5 wherein I describe the various sects of Ancient Israel and fun with snakes. (Photo "Joy" from Reflections of Christ https://reflectionsofchrist.myshopify.com/ ) John the Baptist, Bible Dictionary: Son of Zacharias and Elisabeth, being of priestly descent through both parents. This lineage was essential, since John was the embodiment of the law of Moses, designed to prepare the way for the Messiah and make ready a people to receive Him. He was the outstanding bearer of the Aaronic Priesthood in all history and was entrusted with its most noble mission.
