Why Does God Threaten to Cut People in Two if They Break Covenants?

Church History Matters Podcast

When the Latter-day Saints left Nauvoo and made their way west to the Salt Lake Valley, they carried with them more than their belongings and their faith. They carried a profound desire to build temples where they could make sacred covenants, receive their endowments, and bind themselves to God and to one another through the ordinances of the restored gospel. In this episode of Church History Matters, Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths explore how that vision shaped the early years of the Church in Utah and led to one of the most ambitious building projects in Latter-day Saint history: the Salt Lake Temple.

The story of the Salt Lake Temple is filled with extraordinary determination, remarkable successes, and daunting challenges. From the arrival of Johnston’s army and the resulting disruptions to the discovery of cracks in the temple’s foundation, the Saints repeatedly faced obstacles that threatened to delay their sacred work. Keeping a capable architect, securing the stone from the quarry, and overcoming the transportation challenges of building in the developing West—including the coming of the railroad—required ingenuity, resources, and years of sacrifice. Through it all, Brigham Young remained committed to creating a place where the Saints could participate in temple ordinances and strengthen their covenant relationship with God.

But Brigham Young also knew that the Salt Lake Temple would take many years to complete. With a desire to see a temple dedicated and functioning during his lifetime, he directed attention to the construction of the St. George Utah Temple, which became the first temple completed in Utah and was dedicated in 1877, the year of his death. Its completion allowed the Saints to participate in temple ordinances while work continued on the great temple in Salt Lake City.

Join Scott and Casey as they explore the faith, practical ingenuity, sacrifices, and setbacks behind the building of Utah’s early temples. Discover why temple building was about far more than stone walls and towering spires—and how the Saints’ determination to receive sacred ordinances helped shape their communities, their faith, and their enduring commitment to one another through covenants.

Faith Insights with Tyler Griffin

Are you feeling inadequate in your callings, overwhelmed by trials, or wondering if your efforts to live the gospel even matter? Explore Jeremiah chapters 1–20 as Tyler Griffin breaks down the profound lessons behind the call of the "Weeping Prophet" and how his experiences directly parallel our spiritual journey today.

Living in Jerusalem alongside Lehi and Nephi during the rise of Babylon, Jeremiah faced a society relying on false security—believing the presence of the temple would protect them while they actively embraced the world. This episode unpacks critical insights on overcoming feelings of inadequacy, avoiding modern "broken cisterns," and building a covenant relationship with God:

Foreordination and Identity: Discover how God knew you before you were born and how recognizing your premortal identity transforms your perspective on earthly challenges.   

Overcoming "I Am a Child" Inadequacy: Learn why feeling unqualified for a calling or assignment is a natural human reaction—and how God uses those very assignments to shape our hearts rather than just achieve outcomes.   

Living Waters vs. Broken Cisterns: Understand the Hebrew imagery of Jeremiah 2:13 and why turning to worldly solutions for happiness is like trying to hold water in a cracked, leaking vessel.   

Worshiping the Savior, Not the Structure: Examine why the ancient Israelites mistakenly turned the temple into a false god and how we can ensure our church attendance and temple worship truly connect us to Jesus Christ.   

A Burning Fire Shut Up in My Bones: Find hope in Jeremiah’s lowest moment (Jeremiah 20) when exhaustion made him want to quit—and learn how the word of God can revive our testimony when life feels unbearable.   

Whether you are navigating a difficult church calling, struggling with family challenges, or striving to stay on the covenant path, this deep dive will give you a fresh, Christ-centered perspective on the Old Testament.

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Jeremiah 31–38 and the book of Lamentations, taking us into some of the darkest chapters in the Old Testament: the final days and devastating fall of Judah. Lynne examines the stories of the last five kings of Judah and the political, spiritual, and personal choices that led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the collapse of the house of Judah. Through Jeremiah’s eyes, we see the horrors of conquest, famine, violence, captivity, and the heartbreaking suffering of a people watching their world disappear.

Yet even amid destruction, Jeremiah’s message contains some of Scripture’s most powerful promises of hope and restoration. Lynne explores the covenant themes surrounding Israel, Judah, Jerusalem, mothers, daughters, wives, and the imagery of God’s relationship with His people. Lamentations gives voice to the grief of a nation—and Jeremiah reminds us that even after judgment, the Lord has not abandoned His covenant people. What can these ancient stories teach us about faith, loss, repentance, and the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ?

Heaven's Code: Temples and Texts

What really happens when a prophet is called by God? In this episode of Heaven’s Code, Dr. John Thompson demonstrates that the greatest prophetic callings of the Old Testament (and Book of Mormon) didn't happen in a vacuum—they happened in temples, directly before the throne of God.
Join us as we explore the ancient pattern of the sôd—the secret, divine council of heaven—and discover how Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel were initiated into God's presence and commissioned to declare their testimony of Christ, which is the spirit of prophecy.

In this episode, we decode:
-Why true prophets must stand in the heavenly assembly to hear the Lord's "secret" plan before they can preach to the world.
-Why prophets constantly claim they "cannot speak," and how God ritually purifies their lips, eyes, and ears to empower them to speak and be his representative
- How God strengthens His servants by showing them visions of their own premortal faithfulness and role in the divine plan.
-How this ancient prophetic blueprint mirrors the modern Latter-day Saint temple experience—where everyday Saints are initiated into the sôd, cleansed, shown the plan of salvation, and commissioned to go back into the world as witnesses of Christ.

Prepare to see the calling of ancient prophets—and your own temple covenants—in new light.

Because of sin, all die spiritually, cut off from the presence of God.  Jesus Christ alone bridges that awful gap.  Because of Him you can be born again, you can receive God’s greatest gifts: the gift of His Spirit and the gift of His life, by the gift of His Son.  Jesus Christ is the Life.

There is a hole in every heart, caused by separation from God.  Much of what we do is touched by a hazy, almost unconscious desire to fill that void and recover the security and warmth we once knew.  On our own, nothing is enough, because the void is separation from God, and only God’s presence can fill it again.

We can’t begin to imagine the pains He had to bear.  We can’t comprehend suffering so great as to cause blood to ooze from every pore.  We can’t fathom the depths of His despair as he cried out three times for the bitter cup to pass Him by, three times yielding God’s will be done, three times denied.

Is it any wonder then, He and He alone could pay the full measure of our debt?  Is it any wonder, He and He alone can succor and sustain and strengthen and understand us wherever we are, whoever we are, whatever we are?  

How can we not trust in Him?
