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.

Hi Dear Brother Halverson, Just wanted to share how very grateful I feel at this time, having been listening to this particular lesson. The way you explained about what happens when one sins that we will have a ”stop” on our progression until we repent...Also, how you explained that when we have sinned against a covenant that we have previously promised to keep...then we have taken our Saviour’s GRACE for granted.

I had to listen to this podcast three times to try to absorb the power, excitement and far reaching gifts of this section. My love of the Saviour and his far reaching atonement (even in pre earth life) is thrilling doctrine! Thank you for sharing this! My depth of love gratitude and wonder have increased!
