Ep. 425 Genesis 5 - Moses 6:1-35 Teach Your Children
Streaking the Scriptures
Questions to Consider Why would the Lord include long genealogies and lifespans in scripture—what are we meant to learn from them? What does it really mean that we are created in the image and likeness of God, especially in a fallen world? How do repentance and the Atonement of Jesus Christ “filter out” imperfection over time?

Episode Description — Streaking the Scriptures (Moses 1:1–16)
Welcome to a brand-new year of Streaking the Scriptures — and a powerful beginning in the Old Testament.
In this episode, Jeffery begins 2026 by opening the Book of Moses and walking slowly, thoughtfully, and personally through Moses chapter 1. This is not a historical or academic study — it’s an application-centered conversation about identity, weakness, humility, temptation, and what it truly means to be a child of God.
You’ll explore what it means that Moses saw God face to face… why Moses realized “man is nothing”… and how that realization is not meant to diminish us, but to prepare us to receive grace, strength, and transformation through Jesus Christ.
Jeffery connects Moses’s experience with Moroni’s teaching in Ether 12 about weakness — and offers a beautiful reframe: weakness is not a flaw to be ashamed of, but a gift from God designed to make us humble and turn us toward Him. This insight leads to a deeply personal reflection on prayer, repentance, reliance on Christ, and how our weaknesses become the very place where grace can work most powerfully.
You’ll also walk with Moses through his confrontation with Satan — and learn how identity, truth, and scripture become our protection against temptation. When Satan says, “You are a son of man,” Moses responds with confidence, clarity, and courage: “I am a son of God.”
This episode will help you:
-
See weakness differently
-
Strengthen your spiritual identity
-
Understand how humility invites grace
-
Recognize and resist temptation
