Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't posted for a while! Life has been busy and I got behind on some things. This will be the last episode of season 1. After this episode, I'll be releasing episodes weekly again starting May 2nd! I'm releasing this short episode to share some personal thoughts on some things including my personal outlook on how to approach the topic of prophets. Some members have a very idealistic view of prophets that makes them really vulnerable to a faith crisis. Other members have destructed their old idealistic view of prophets so much that they no longer trust prophets. I hope to share some faithful principles that acknowledge both fallibility and trustworthiness in our prophets.
