Hi there – the podcast references a chart to use when teaching about agency – would it be possible to receive this link?
Kent, thanks for listening.
Once you are on this page, we give several links. The link to the chart regarding agency is here: https://www.ldsscriptureteachings.org/2016/12/the-fall-of-adam-and-eve/
The image for the chart is on the right side of the page.
On Apple Podcasts this episode is labeled 1 Nephi 1-2. Not 2 Nephi 1-2. The next episode is also labeled 1 Nephi. Just FYI. Love this podcast! Thank you both so much for taking the effort to make these valuable reviews.
I loved that you included the bit about the name of God at the end of this episode. I connected it to 2 Nephi 2:25 where we learn that Adam fell that men might BE.
If God is a god of being, then Adam fell, not just for us to come into existence, but also for us to begin to *become* like God.
God IS, and Adam fell that we might (also) BE.
