Ep. 412: Article of Faith 7 - Profitable Gifts
Streaking the Scriptures
This episode of Streaking the Scriptures dives deep into Article of Faith 7 and what it really means to believe in “gifts of the Spirit” today—not just as a doctrine, but as something active and personal in your life. Jeff walks through where spiritual gifts are outlined in scripture—1 Corinthians 12, Moroni 10, and Doctrine and Covenants 46—and points out that when something shows up in three different books of scripture, the Lord is emphasizing it for a reason. He reads through the lists of gifts: wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits,...

How do you truly know when someone is called of God? In a world filled with voices, opinions, and countless religious messages, this question matters more than ever.

Ep. 409: Article of Faith 2 - Own It!
Streaking the Scriptures
In today’s episode of Streaking the Scriptures, we stay with Article of Faith 1 and go much deeper into the Holy Ghost. We walk through the Savior’s promise in John 14 and 15, explore Nephi’s powerful teachings in 2 Nephi 32, and look at how the Holy Ghost both tells us and shows us “all things” that we should do. I share a story about a tower of deadbolts, fifty keys, and one simple question that unlocked everything. Then we move into Article of Faith 2, what it really means to be “punished for [our] own sins,” and how Doctrine and Covenants 19 reframes punishment through the...

Streaking the Scriptures
Welcome back to Streaking the Scriptures! Today marks a powerful moment in our year-long journey. We have officially completed every section in the Doctrine and Covenants, and now we turn our hearts and minds to the Articles of Faith and Official Declarations 1 and 2. Even though published revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants has concluded, revelation has most certainly not stopped. We live in a church guided by living prophets, inspired apostles, and—equally important—personal revelation through the Holy Ghost. Today we begin Article of Faith #1: “We believe in God, the Eternal...
