AMAZING!!
It's almost a shame that we no longer get to witness the live acting in temples.
I especially appreciated when Dave would say "stage directions"
I was "watching " this in my head as you both spoke. Thank you!!

Incredible. I was on this same path but just so much slower. Unlocked a meaning in my pblessing which I've been thinking about for years

[dinocollins]

Alms 32 as a temple text!!! WOW increible! How do I miss these things?!?! i'm going to have to study this chapter in-depth!

[serenamg]

Awesome! I have been blessed with ears to hear. I love parables. My favorite history teacher in college taught without the textbook. Thank you!!! 🙏🏻 ♾️

Can not get enough of this. Loved every minute. Keep on truckin.

[dinocollins]

Wow this was absolutely incredible!!! I can't express how jealous I am of bro Butler's Book of Mormon class in his Idaho ward haha!!! I could listen and study this all day!

[danielburns]

This is spectacular stuff. Thank you guys for reposting, I am reading Plain and Precious Things (albeit slowly, alongside a very intense dive into the scriptures as I prepare for my mission) and this just deepens it all for me.

I was especially struck by the reframing of the Bread -> Stone, Fish -> Serpent idea— it is almost as if Christ was saying, “who here is wise enough to give as God would, who is asked for Bread and gives the greatest Bread, and is asked for Fish (perhaps water also?) and gives His only Begotten.” Many many thoughts on that. This illuminated me!

Dave, if you’re ever in Long Beach CA, please let me buy you lunch!

I just finished and was experiencing chills after chills- combined with some tears. It also reminds me of our Prophet Pres. Nelson’s focus—everything should lead us to the temple! Thank you for helping to open my eyes more

Love it. Walking around WinCo grocery shopping and some of the sneaky jokes make me laugh so people keep looking at me. 😅 Thanks for making this stuff so easy to understand and appreciate. And for posting it so I can do my thing and still learn!!. Love you guys.

Great Point at the end it was mentioned that in Alma 12 if your wicked you forget the mysteries of God. Read Alma 12 : 9 and there you go. This verse highlights the idea that the mysteries of God are given according to one's diligence and obedience. Those who are heedless, or wicked, therefore, forget or are not given further light and knowledge due to their lack of diligence in following the Lord's commandments.

[michellehalladay]

Incredible! So many dots are connecting for me after listening to this!
Please make more like this! I beg you! Ha ha
We are hungry for more!
Knowledge is joy! You two make that point abundantly clear!
I Love listening to you both!
