About this episode
What does a 19th-century prophecy about civil war reach us about modern discipleship? Brother Robert Freeman explores Doctrine and Covenants 85-87, diving into the Law of Consecration, the parable of the wheat and the tares, and the role of record-keeping and righteousness in times of conflict.
