D&C 137–138 | GOD’S PLAN IS PERFECT | GABE PETTITT

This week, Jared and Elijah sit down with their friend Gabe Pettit for a powerful, warm, and genuinely uplifting discussion on the final sections of the Doctrine & Covenants. Together they dive into Joseph Smith’s and Joseph F. Smith’s visions, the doctrine of salvation for the dead, and what these revelations reveal about God’s fairness, mercy, and love. Gabe shares personal stories—from serving in Nauvoo to studying at the BYU Jerusalem Center—that bring doctrine to life and highlight why these sections matter right now. The conversation hits on the big questions of the soul: • What happens to people who never hear the gospel? • Does God rea lly judge the heart? • How do we actually receive revelation? • What does the Spirit World teach us about hope after loss? It’s thoughtful, relatable, and full of the kind of insight that helps you see God’s plan more clearly and feel Christ’s love more personally. If you need a reminder that mortality isn’t the end—and that Heaven’s plan is merciful, inclusive, and intentional—this episode will mean a lot to you.

D&C 135-136 | PRAISE TO THE MAN |

In this episode Jared, Elijah, and Ashley sit down for a quieter, more emotional conversation centered on Doctrine & Covenants 135 — the announcement of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. The three of them talk about why Joseph Smith matters to them personally: Ashley shares some powerful family history and what she’s learned from the Prophet Joseph about being cheerful in hard things; Jared opens up about how the Book of Mormon carried him through the darkest seasons of his life; and Elijah reflects on the things Joseph did that he knows he couldn’t have done himself and his admiration for him because of those things. It’s simple and genuine this week, and we hope it leaves you thinking about your own gratitude for the Prophet Joseph Smith, especially heading into Thanksgiving week.

D&C 133-134 | FACING FORWARD | JOSEPH AGUILAR

In this week’s episode Jared and Elijah sit down with Joseph for an honest, real-life conversation about Doctrine & Covenants 133–134 — the “Second Coming” sections that can sometimes feel heavy, confusing, or straight-up overwhelming. Together they talk through what it actually looks like to “leave Babylon” today, how to stay close to Jesus when life feels messy, and why preparing for the Second Coming is a whole lot more about daily choices than doomsday countdowns. Joseph shares his own recent experiences, insights from his mission, and some surprisingly tender reminders about God showing up when you least expect it. The guys also cover the idea of being good citizens, loving people we disagree with, and why living the gospel makes us better neighbors. In This Episode: * What “Babylon” looks like in real life * Why preparation is more about Jesus than panic * Finding hope when life gets dark * Why loving your neighbor matters as much as loving God

They dive into Doctrine & Covenants 131–132 and share honest thoughts about how marriage can shape us, stretch us, and bring us closer to Jesus Christ. From learning patience and grace to trusting God’s timing, this episode is full of real stories, laughter, and reminders that family and faith are worth the work. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, you’ll walk away feeling hopeful about how the Savior can make every relationship stronger — now and forever.  In This Episode: * Why marriage is part of God’s plan for us * How Christ helps couples through hard things * What it means to be sealed in the temple * Finding peace in God’s timing

D&C 125-128 | THE FAMILY BUSINESS |

This week Jared, Elijah, and Ashley are back together to talk about what matters most to the Lord—family. From Brigham Young’s revelation to “take special care of thy family” to Joseph Smith’s teachings on baptisms for the dead, these sections remind us that God’s work has always been the family business. The trio shares personal stories of faith, fear, and finding peace when life doesn’t go as planned. They unpack how the temple connects us to loved ones on both sides of the veil—and how the Lord’s tender mercies show up in the middle of uncertainty. If you’ve ever wondered why families are central to God’s plan, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, grateful, and ready to see the divine in your own home.
