1 Corinthians 14–16

In this episode we'll talk about 1 Corinthians 14-16. We'll review two main topics, related to changes we can make in our lives. The first topic has to do with finding personal peace. The Savior promises us peace "not as the world gives." We'll discuss what that means, and what we can do in our lives to increase those divine feelings of personal peace. We'll also talk about the idea of growth and change. We'll review the challenges that some people feel prevent them from changing, and how a better understanding of gospel principles can help us grow regardless of our liabilities. Changing to become like our Savior is always possible and is truly the goal of our mortal journey.

1 Corinthians 8–13

In this episode we'll talk about 1 Corinthians 8-13. We'll talk about one of the promises made regarding our ability to withstand temptations, including the idea that we will always be provided with a way to escape any temptation that comes our way. However, this will definitely require action on our part. This concept also applies to emotional and other challenges. Although we may be afflicted with such conditions, God will provide a way for our healing that will most assuredly require action on our part. We'll also discuss the doctrine of spiritual gifts, what these include, and how they can help us overcome challenges and become a blessing to others.

1 Corinthians 1–7

In this episode we'll talk about 1 Corinthians 1-7. The two books of Corinthians were letters written by Paul to the saints in the ancient city of Corinth, which was in Greece. They contain counsel that was very pertinent to the saints at that time. We'll talk about the importance of receiving revelation and being close to the Spirit. Knowing what the Lord wants you to do in your life today is heavily dependent upon your ability to understand the voice of the Holy Ghost to you. We'll also review the concept of starting small when making significant changes. Long-term change is best achieved through small, consistent forward movement. We will also discuss the idea that what we often believe is tragedy can simply be part of the Lord's plan to change us from our weak, natural state to women and men after the manner of Christ.

Romans 7–16

In this episode we'll talk about Romans 7-16. We'll review three separate concepts. First, we'll talk about the importance of relying on living prophets and church leaders when we are trying to learn more about passages in ancient scripture that are difficult to understand. Second, we'll review how hope and peace can increase as we better understand the concept that trials can lead to personal growth. Third, we'll discuss the importance of understanding our thoughts and how they lead to emotions. We'll review how a better appreciation of true doctrines can lead to positive feelings, while a poor understanding of doctrine can increase negative feelings.

Romans 1–6

In this episode we'll talk about Romans 1-6. This is the first of the New Testament epistles, or letters, written by leaders of the church to local church members. Paul writes many of these letters and they comprise most of the remaining books in the New Testament. One of the themes in this week’s reading is that of hope. When people have anxiety and depression, hope can be very difficult to come by. But Paul teaches how hope is possible even in the most desperate of circumstances. He provides a specific recipe that we can follow to increase hope and decrease despair.

Acts 22–28

In this episode we'll talk about Acts 22-28. We continue with the missionary travels of Paul and the difficulties he experienced during this time. We'll talk about the concept that trials are not always the result of negative behavior. Sometimes trials are there to help us learn to become more like the Savior. We'll discuss the value of trials, regardless of their source, and how diligent effort can help us prevail. We will also discuss how the Lord has promised to support the obedient in all their difficulties. As we partner with Him and stay firm on the covenant path, we can have peace that things will work out even when days are dark and challenges are unrelenting.
