In this episode of the My Scripture Streak podcast, Jeffery continues his study in the Doctrine and Covenants, beginning with Section 91 on the Apocrypha, moving through Section 92, and into the profound teachings of Section 93. He emphasizes the critical role of the Holy Ghost in discerning truth, the necessity of approaching God with real intent, and the readiness to act on revelation received. Using Moroni’s promise and the story of the rich young ruler from the New Testament, he explores what it means to ask, “What lack I yet?” and to follow through with faith and courage. He closes by highlighting the powerful promises in Section 93, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the call for each of us to be lively and committed disciples.
