Listen "Why Does God Let Truth and Error Grow Side by Side? – Come Follow Me D&C 85-87 | Still Learning"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Rebecca and Gunnar explore Doctrine and Covenants 85–87 prompting reflection on the importance of spiritual boundaries—how we can support priesthood leaders and act with good intentions without overstepping sacred stewardships.  The conversation then turns to D&C 87, where Joseph Smith foresees not just the American Civil War, but an age of worldwide violence, famine, and upheaval. Gunnar and Rebecca recount how this revelation has played out across the past two centuries and discuss how prophetic expectations can lead to misunderstanding when events unfold differently than imagined—such as the surprising fulfillment of President Nelson’s 2020 General Conference promise.  Through it all, they emphasize humility, patience, and the importance of staying anchored in revealed truth while continuing to learn and grow in faith.
