Episode notes

President Oak stated that the primary reason for avoiding criticism is to protect the critic's spiritual well-being. Criticizing others may hurt them, but it reveals something about our own hearts. In a discussion about Dr. Cummins, Joseph Smith's enemies were targeted by Satan, who wanted to drag them down. This highlights the parallel of how criticizing others or feeling justified in our criticisms can lead to misery and be influenced by Satan.

Dr. J.B. Haws continues to explore James’ exhortations to remain humble, and the importance of humility and the transformative nature of the Spirit in shaping our character.
