Ep. 421: Abraham 3-4 Obedience is Good
Streaking the Scriptures

Ep. 420: Moses 2-3 The Parenting Template
Streaking the Scriptures
🤔 Questions to consider as you listen… What does it really mean that “all things which God created were good” — including you?

In this episode of Streaking the Scriptures, Jeffery walks through Genesis 7–8 and turns Noah’s story into a deeply personal exploration of obedience, trust, and spiritual calibration. Rather than simply retelling the flood narrative, he draws out a powerful pattern: the Lord gives direction, we act in faith, and blessings unfold in ways we could never engineer on our own. Noah becomes more than a historical figure — he becomes a mirror for anyone trying to follow divine guidance without having all the answers.
The discussion moves beyond scripture study into lived experience. Jeffery reflects on recent refining moments in his own life, sharing how prophetic counsel, conference messages, and quiet impressions have helped him recalibrate his heart. His candid storytelling — including wrestling with a message that initially frustrated him — reveals a core truth: sometimes growth begins when we soften enough to hear what we once resisted. That vulnerability makes the spiritual lessons feel immediate and relatable, not theoretical.
You’ll also hear a hopeful reminder that the Lord provides both instruction and the capacity to fulfill it. Just as Noah and Nephi were guided step-by-step through seemingly impossible tasks, listeners are invited to seek personal revelation tailored to their own journey. The episode gently challenges you to examine where you might be leaning on your own understanding instead of trusting the path God is shaping.
If you’re looking for encouragement during a season of pressure, change, or spiritual refinement, this study session offers both insight and peace — a reminder that even in the longest storms, God remembers His people, guides their steps, and brings them safely to new ground.
