In this episode of Still Learning, Gunnar and Rebecca dive into Doctrine & Covenants 109–110, recounting the dedication of the Kirtland Temple and the Lord’s subsequent appearance. Together they reflect on Lord’s impossible command to build a temple with only a handful of poor Saints—and how their faith and sacrifice can inspire us to move forward in our own daunting challenges.

What difference would it make if we could see each other the way God sees us? Gunnar and Rebecca explore this question through the lens of D&C 106–108. From Warren Cowdery’s quiet calling to the heavenly confirmation of priesthood blessings, the message is the same: heaven rejoices when we turn toward the light. This conversation invites us to see beyond weakness, to recognize divine worth in others, and to let that change the way we live and love.

In this episode of “Still Learning,” Gunnar and Rebecca reframe Zion’s Camp and the Lord’s call to “sue for peace”: not weakness, but disciplined strength. If you’re tired of outrage on loop, this conversation shows a better way—clean hands, courageous hearts, and small, deliberate steps toward Zion this week. It’s forward-looking, doable, and rooted in the Savior’s kind of power.

This discussion ranges from ancient Christians in Rome to pioneers in Missouri, drawing parallels between disciples across centuries who were “proved” through suffering. Gunnar and Rebecca share insights on agency, commandments as invitations to happiness, and the promise that the Lord will guide us “in the very moment” when we act in faith. They explore how trials cultivate deep spiritual roots and how joy in Christ is full—even in the face of death. The episode closes with the reminder that every trial is an opportunity to choose discipleship and discover “news from heaven.”

Chastening may feel painful, but in this episode, Gunnar and Rebecca unpack how the Lord’s rebuke is evidence of His love. With insights from D&C 94–97, Hebrews, Ether, and Joseph Smith’s own experiences, they show how correction brings growth—and how building Zion requires trust, humility, and courage.

Doctrine and Covenants 93 is one of the most revolutionary revelations of the Restoration, teaching truths about God, Christ, and humankind that defy centuries of traditional Christian thought. In this episode, Rebecca and Gunnar explore how the section redefines our understanding of the premortal life, divine progression, and the promise that we too may receive “grace for grace” until we reach the fullness of God. They reflect on the experiences of the early Saints, including accounts from the School of the Prophets where Joseph Smith and others testified of seeing divine personages. They also share modern applications—how recognizing light and truth as the essence of our souls can change how we view others and ourselves. Finally, they discuss the Lord’s call for leaders and families to set their homes in order, reminding us that the work of building Zion begins in our own households.

This episode explores how the Word of Wisdom came forth amid clouds of tobacco smoke and the faithful concerns of Emma Smith. Gunnar and Rebecca weave together scripture, Church history, and personal experience to show how this revelation was far ahead of its time. They discuss its relevance today, from food in season to avoiding addictive substances, and testify of the promised “hidden treasures of knowledge” given to those who obey. More than a health code, the Word of Wisdom is presented as a spiritual covenant that strengthens mind, body, and soul.

Rebecca and Gunnar’s conversation on D&C 88 takes listeners on a journey from the Lord’s promise of “another Comforter” to the daily practice of filling our lives with light. They reflect on how hope changes fear into assurance, how gratitude can heal even deep wounds, and how the gifts of God—whether joyful or painful—are meant to draw us closer to Him. Personal stories, scriptural insights, and thoughtful reflections invite listeners to consider how they might “fill the measure of their creation” and walk in greater light.
