The Lord’s Anointed

In this powerful episode, Kenneth and Jaren dive deep into the often misunderstood phrase “evil speaking of the Lord’s anointed.” Many assume this warning only applies to criticizing church leaders — but is that what it actually means? Join them as they carefully examine the scriptures and temple context to reveal the true meaning: “The Lord’s Anointed” refers to anyone who has received their washing and anointing ordinances in the Temple of Christ, not just general authorities or local leaders.

Sanctification through the Atonement

In this powerful episode, Kenneth and Jaren dive deep into a critical but often misunderstood distinction: the difference between chastisement and a trial—and why recognizing that difference changes how we respond to what God is calling us to do. Is what you’re facing calling you to repentance, or refining you? From there, we turn to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. We explore how His suffering in the Garden began the atoning process for our sins and trials, and how He sealed that sacrifice with His life on the cross. It was His complete fulfillment of this divine process that made our sanctification possible. We then walk step-by-step through the process of sanctification, including:     •    Repentance     •    Being born again / born of the Spirit     •    Enduring the refiner’s fire     •    Being baptized by fire     •    Having your calling and election made sure This episode is about more than doctrine—it’s about transformation. If you’ve ever wondered how God is shaping you, refining you, or calling you higher, this conversation will give you clarity and direction. 🔥 Tune in and learn how to respond when God is working on you. #Faith #JesusChrist #Sanctification #SpiritualGrowth #LDSPodcast #LDS #ChurchofJesusChristofLatterDaySaints You can contact Jaren or Kenneth by emailing info@thestonecoalition.com You can reach out to Kenneth on Instagram @kog.strength or Jaren @jaren_odriscoll

The Return of the Lost Ten Tribes

Join hosts Kenneth and Jaren as they take a thorough, verse-by-verse deep dive into Doctrine and Covenants Section 133—often called the "Appendix" to the revelations, originally received in 1831 as a powerful capstone to the early Saints' instructions on gathering, preaching the gospel, and preparing for the Lord's return. In this episode, we unpack the urgent calls to "go ye out from Babylon" (flee wickedness), gather to Zion, and sanctify ourselves for the great day of the Lord. We explore the apocalyptic imagery: Christ's dramatic Second Coming, the continents uniting as one land, the return of the lost tribes, the resurrection of the Saints, and the Lord standing upon Mount Zion in the New Jerusalem. A major focus is the promised redemption of Jackson County, Missouri—the prophesied center place of Zion where the city of the New Jerusalem will rise. What does the Lord reveal about this future redemption? How does it tie into the year of His redeemed, the building of temples, and the millennial era of peace? Kenneth and Jaren discuss practical applications for today: How can we prepare now? What blessings await the faithful after Zion is redeemed—peace, the presence of the Lord, the song of the Lamb sung day and night, and a world transformed? This isn't just ancient prophecy; it's a blueprint of hope for our day. Whether you're studying Come Follow Me or simply seeking encouragement about the future, this episode will inspire you with the Lord's promises of redemption, gathering, and glory. Tune in for insights, discussion, and testimony-building truths straight from Section 133!

Waiting on The Lord

This episode explores what it truly means to "wait on the Lord" — not passively, but with active faith, hope, and trust in His timing and power. Discover how avoiding impetuous decisions, refusing to trust in man's limited strength (2 Nephi 4:34), and standing firm amid challenges strengthens our resolve. We'll discuss holding fast to the traditions we've been taught (2 Thessalonians 2:15), pressing forward with a perfect brightness of hope, and finding renewed strength as promised in Isaiah 40:31: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles." Join us as we learn to choose divine guidance over worldly haste and distractions — because those who wait on the Lord are never deceived.
