"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald

[michellebake]

We lived around the corner from the Williams' in Sugar Salem. Nate was a young man at the time. We were expecting our 7th child during those years. We had decided that if our child was a boy, we would name him Nathan, Nate, after this terrific young man. We hoped our son would be like him. We moved about 3 yrs later. What a blessing to see Nate again and hear of his love for the Book of Mormon and the gospel. We chose wisely. We're listening now fro Fruitland, Idaho.

I was so excited to see brother Williams as your guest. He was one of my seminary teachers in high school. Brother Williams was a huge influence on me. I love brother Williams, and am very grateful for him.

When I first discovered it, I devoured every episode in a massive several week binge to catch up, since I discovered you partway thru your second season. Love love love the guests you bring in. Thank you! Listening from the Central Valley in California. ❤❤

Great lesson. I had to re-listen again and again to retain all these mini lessons with each questions. This is deep and wonderful. From Sacramento, CA.

I loved Bro Williams as a teacher at BYU-Idaho!! It was SO great to hear his Idahoan accent again! 😆🙌🏼 And more importantly, his deep knowledge and testimony! Thank you for sharing your light! ☀️

Love, love The gentleness in brother Williams voice as he shares he thoughts. His curiosity about possibilities of spiritually growing into discipleship inspired me to ask more questions and compare verses in the BofM to highlight and ponder what Mormon is trying to show us.

I find benefit in all the episodes. However, I found Nate's approach this week extremely refreshing and valuable to my soul. Thanks!

Listening from the west of England ❤ Thank you once again for your inspiring insights 😊

[ShikaAshley]

Thank you for this episode. In particular the insight around being an antiChrist does not mean that one teaches that there isn't one, but also includes failing to teach His doctrine correctly.

Also, the reminder that for agency to exist, it requires different consequences for different choices! So, to destroy agency doesn't mean the elimination choices alone, but can include the elimination of consequences.

Thank you Brother Williams for quoting Clayton Christensen about the need for individual responsibility and morality in maintaining our Republic!

[judychambers]

Maybe we should consider the Book of Mormon as a letter from our Father to us. I find joy in the thought.

John’s “brace for impact”statement caused me to remember this statement from Elder Maxwell(sorry for the long post) : “Once again the Book of Mormon and modern revelation give us the guidance we need so that we are not taken out of our places by too much concern over what on the landscape of history may after all be a very temporary thing, real and menacing though it may be. In the Book of Mormon is a verse I wish I fully understood, but which I draw to your attention. It is 2 Nephi 28:19, which says “the kingdom of the devil must shake.” It is a very intriguing verse. I do not presume to know what this redemptive turbulence will be like, but it will be such that a few people now caught up in that generic kingdom of the devil will be “stirred up” and find their way out and into the kingdom of God. I don’t know how that will happen, but it will happen. I rather imagine, and this is sure speculation, that there will be in this redemptive turbulence some jarring inconsistencies brought to the fore—jarring enough that they will cause some people who are caught up in the subsets to leave and find the truth. As prophesied in the Book of Mormon, full of portent for Latter-day Saints, there will be real turbulence…”
