James - S02E45

Author: Mark Holt November 23, 2019 Duration: 58:08
James teaches us not how to believe in Christ, but how, once we believe in Christ, to allow that belief to bring us to patience, and thereby to perfection.

Each week, Mark Holt offers a thoughtful and personal exploration of the upcoming Sunday School lesson for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Gospel Talktrine isn't a dry lecture, but a conversational deep dive into the scriptures and doctrines that form the LDS Gospel Doctrine curriculum. By releasing episodes a full week before the lesson is taught in church, this podcast provides a valuable resource for both teachers and students seeking meaningful preparation. Listeners will find a space to ponder scriptural context, historical insights, and practical applications for modern life, all aimed at enriching personal study and classroom discussion. Whether you're tasked with leading a class or simply want to engage more deeply with the material on your own, Mark's reflections serve as a catalyst for further study and spiritual discovery. Tune in during your commute, while doing chores, or on a quiet afternoon to transform your preparation time into a more reflective and connected experience. This is a podcast for anyone looking to move beyond the surface of the lesson manual and cultivate a more personal understanding of gospel principles. The hope is that these discussions will not only inform your teaching but also nurture your own faith, making your Sabbath day observance more focused and fulfilling.
