In this episode of the Proclaim Peace Podcast, hosts Jennifer Thomas and Patrick Mason are joined by BYU-Hawaii professor David Whippy to reflect on the New Year and their renewed commitment to peacemaking. They discuss the importance of the teachings of Jesus, particularly focusing on the Sermon on the Mount and its counterpart in the Book of Mormon, known as the Sermon at the Temple. They share thoughts on what it truly means to live a Christian life, emphasizing the need for a heartfelt transformation rather than merely adhering to external observances.
