Peacemakers Take the Charge (Doctrine & Covenants 98-101) Sep 05, 2025

Show notes

This episode explores Doctrine and Covenants 98–101 — revelations that guided the Saints through persecution, loss, and the refining fire of adversity. These chapters teach that Zion is built not by retaliation, but by patience, gratitude, and peace — and that chastening is the Lord's way of sanctifying His people.

Come study with hosts Ellis and Eddie, joined by Kekeli from Ghana and Brother Ronald Morgan, as they unpack what it means to be a true peacemaker, why perfection means wholeness in Christ, and how covenants give our lives "savor." From basketball fouls to printing presses in the river to the privilege of paying the price to know God, this conversation blends doctrine, testimony, and hope for all who seek to follow Christ's higher law.

Along the way, they unpack what it means to scrape off the "barnacles" of stress and sin, why small efforts still count, and how Christ meets us in our honest sacrifices.
