Episode notes

Smoking firebrand moments, though appearing threatening and producing a lot of smoke, often lack actual fire and heat. These moments, like the end of a romantic relationship or a mistake that has caused repercussions, can feel overwhelming and insurmountable. However, the advice is to persevere through these tough times, as they are temporary challenges that can be overcome. By staying resilient and not allowing these moments to consume you, one can emerge stronger and with new insights, as God promises to bring a righteous remnant through the metaphorical fire.

Dr. Shon Hopkin explores how Nephi and Isaiah teach Saints who God is and how it encourages them to come to Christ.
