I really like your podcasts. Thank you for all the time you spend in creating them.
One comment regarding Ep 102 and your teachings on knowing correct revelation. Your remarks don’t address those moments or times when the Lord “tests” us. Based on your analysis, Abraham would never have taken his son, Isaac, to Moriah . . . it would be considered a false revelation. Or, Nephi never would have slain Laban to get the plates because he would be breaking one of the Ten Commandments. The point I want to make is that both Abraham and Nephi knew the Lord’s voice well enough that their tests ultimately led to higher blessings but going through the process of the test was very challenging. Think of the tests that the Prophet Joseph Smith gave to certain members of the Church that didn’t fit nicely in the “box of revelation” that you describe. The point is to know the Lord’s voice well enough that you understand when He is giving you a test and how to depend on Him through constant prayer to get you through that test.
Excellent insight! Thanks for sharing. It certainly can be complicated.
