Doctrine and Covenants 29

This week we are studying Doctrine and Covenants sections 29. First, we’ll talk about the role of agency in change and mental health improvement. We’ll discuss how we need to take accountability for our choices and do difficult things. We’ll also talk about how as we align our will with God, we will achieve greater strength to endure all kinds of challenges. Finally, we’ll discuss how trials, including mental health challenges, are part of a greater process to help us exercise our agency and eventually become more like our Father in Heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ.

1 Nephi 1–5

In this episode we'll talk about 1 Nephi chapters one through five. We’ll discuss some of the history of the translation of the Book of Mormon. We’ll review the very first verse of 1 Nephi and how this reflects important principles for emotional development. We’ll talk about the value of trials and how they do not detract from the blessings the Lord gives us. We’ll further review the different perspectives of Nephi and his brothers. As we talk about these perspectives, we’ll discuss how flexible, faithful approaches to mental health challenges can result in greater emotional resilience.
