Episode notes
The role of prophets within the church is often misunderstood, with some perceiving them as infallible leaders. However, historical and contemporary statements from church leaders clarify that prophets are not perfect and have never claimed to be. The only flawless figure is Jesus Christ; all others are inherently imperfect mortals. This acknowledgment does not diminish their divine purpose but highlights that they are part of a 'divine work in progress.' Challenges and imperfections are intrinsic to the mortal experience, and members are encouraged to examine and understand these issues rather than react with alarm. Trusting prophets is essential, as they are divinely guided and prepared for their roles, often dedicated despite facing personal challenges and aging. Ultimately, their authority as prophets surpasses any secular authority figures, providing a sound, inspired voice of guidance that seeks to aid adherents in their spiritual journey.
