Genesis 12-17 & Abraham 1-2 I Come Follow Me I Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the stories of faithful women in the Old Testament who demonstrated deep obedience, covenant loyalty, and unwavering trust in God—even when their discipleship required real sacrifice. Through an LDS lens, she highlights how women were vital participants in God’s covenant work, not merely background figures. Their lives show that faith in the Lord often requires courage, patience, and a willingness to place divine promises above personal comfort or social expectations. A special focus is given to Sarah in Genesis 12 and the Book of Abraham, following the journey she and Abraham make to Egypt during a time of famine. There, they encounter serious danger as Abraham fears for his life because of Sarah’s beauty, leading to complex moral and spiritual tests. From an LDS perspective, Sarah’s faith, unity with Abraham, and trust in God’s protection reveal a woman deeply committed to the covenant path. Her story—marked by risk, displacement, and divine deliverance—invites viewers to appreciate the spiritual strength of covenant women and to see how their examples still guide Latter-day Saints striving to live faithfully today.

Genesis 6-11 & Moses 8 I Come Follow Me I Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we dive into Moses chapter 8 and Genesis 6–11, exploring the powerful stories surrounding Noah, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel through a Latter-day Saint lens. These chapters highlight a world struggling with increasing wickedness, yet still touched by prophetic warnings, covenants, and divine mercy. Viewers will gain insight into how the Joseph Smith Translation in the book of Moses expands the biblical account, especially in emphasizing the role of preaching, repentance, and moral agency before the Flood. The discussion connects these ancient events to modern discipleship, asking what it means to remain faithful in a corrupt society. Special attention is given to the women mentioned or implied in these chapters—such as the “daughters of men” in Genesis 6, Noah’s wife, and the wives of his sons—who are often overlooked but are essential to the story of preservation and covenant continuity. Their presence reminds us that families, marriages, and righteous women were central to God’s plan to carry humanity forward after the Flood. By noticing these women in the text, this episode invites viewers to read more carefully and see how both men and women participate in God’s work across generations, helping build a bridge from the world before the Flood to the renewed world that followed.

Moses 7 I Come Follow Me I Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Moses chapter 7 centers on the rise of the City of Enoch, a people who learned to build Zion by becoming “of one heart and one mind,” dwelling in righteousness, and caring deeply for one another. Under Enoch’s prophetic leadership, the people rejected violence, pride, and inequality, choosing instead to live the law of consecration so fully that there were “no poor among them.” Their society was marked not only by moral purity but by profound compassion—so much so that the Lord Himself wept over the suffering and wickedness of the world. In contrast to the surrounding nations, Zion stood as a covenant community defined by love, justice, and unity with God. The chapter also teaches that Zion is not merely a place, but a condition of the heart that any people can strive to achieve. Moses 7 makes clear that Zion is built through repentance, obedience, humility, and collective commitment to God’s ways. As Enoch’s people aligned their lives with heaven, they became sanctified and were ultimately taken into God’s presence, symbolizing the destiny of a truly Zion-like society. For modern readers, the City of Enoch becomes both a model and an invitation: Zion is achieved when individuals and communities choose righteousness, unity, and selfless care for the vulnerable, preparing the world—and themselves—for the return of the Lord.

Genesis 5; Moses 6 I Come Follow Me I Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson Jan 19, 2026

Genesis chapter 5 and Moses chapter 6 take us into the earliest generations of God’s covenant people, tracing the lineage from Adam through Enoch and revealing why these names matter far more than a list of ages and ancestors. In this video, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explains how these chapters preserve temple-centered themes of covenant, posterity, and divine identity. Genesis 5 quietly emphasizes continuity—life, death, and faith passed from one generation to the next—while Moses 6 expands the story, restoring prophetic voices, priesthood authority, and the doctrine that humans are literal children of God. Together, these texts teach that genealogy in scripture is theology: it shows how God works through families to move His plan forward. Dr. Wilson also highlights Moses 6 as a powerful doctrinal restoration that deepens our understanding of repentance, baptism, and spiritual rebirth. Through the ministry of Enoch and the teachings given to Adam, we learn that salvation comes through Jesus Christ, that hearts can be changed, and that Zion is built when people choose righteousness in a fallen world. This video helps viewers see how the Joseph Smith Translation clarifies missing or obscured truths, transforming familiar passages into a compelling invitation to walk with God—just as Enoch did—and to claim our own place in God’s eternal family.
