Episode notes

This chapter explores the symbolism of the armor of God and its connection to unity and protection in the faith, drawing parallels between Roman warfare and combining faith and gospel to protect families and communities. The importance of the Holy Ghost in bringing the atonement into one's life and fostering unity among disciples of diverse backgrounds is also highlighted.

Dr. Matthew Richardson discusses the importance of revelation to become truly converted to Jesus Christ and why we wear “the whole armor of God.”
