Follow Him Podcast: Episode 5–D&C 6-9 with Guest Dr. Janiece Johnson | Our Turtle House

Do you know how many times the word “desire” is in D&C Sections 6-7? What does it tell us about the Lord and agency? Join John Bytheway, Hank Smith, and Dr. Janiece Johnson as she shares her thoughts about Oliver Cowdery, the myth of a prosperity gospel, and how the Lord will preserve His people. The reality of spectacles, Urim and Thummim, and how the translation of a human being and the translation of the plates are discussed. Miracles are happening in D&C 6-9 and in our lives today.
