They talk about the importance of Christ being both divine and mortal, and the blessings that come to us from Christ’s mortality. They also talk about the timing of John’s letters. They draw in Book of Mormon teachings as well. They explore the importance of having a testimony of and a correct understanding of Christ and the dangers that come from misunderstanding it. They delve into John’s many teachings about love and how that interacts with his clear teachings and corrections. They also see covenant teachings in the epistles. They discuss the teachings of Jude as well, especially looking for the mercy of Christ and loving and knowing our neighbors and loving and searching for truth.We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and for our editor, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
