D&C 121:34-46 are probably my most marked sections in the D&C. Only 12 verses but man, are they packed! LET me share them with you… 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!

The Liberty Jail sections (D&C 121-123) are sacred territory in my opinion. So much goodness and instruction.

If soft hearts and “unstiff” necks can bring conversion (D&C 112:13), then hard hearts and stiff necks can bring apostasy. Sadly, some of these early members of the church fell right into that pattern. A good lesson for us today! If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!
