Welcome to Church History Matters, Come Follow Me Edition,

where we are systematically diving into every section of the doctrine and covenants throughout the year 2025.

We have a lot to talk about today, so let's get into it.

Welcome to Church History Matters.

Today I have some good news and some sad news.

Sad news is Casey Griffiths is not with us today.

He is over on Hank and John's podcast called Follow Him.

So if you're wanting to fill your Casey calories this week, you want to go get some Casey, go over to follow him.

And instead of Casey, now I'm transitioning to the good news here, I have with me today, my good friend, Anthony Sweat.

Hey.

Anthony, welcome to the show, man.

I'm so excited to be with you, Scott.

And some of your listeners just went, that was bad news and worse news.

Not bad news and good news. But I don't know. I cannot replace the great Casey Griffiths.

Casey is irreplaceable. He is. I got better jokes, though. I got better jokes.

You do. And I hope that comes out today. And feel free just to let it fly here on Church History Matters. I'll try to do my best. I don't think our listeners will be disappointed. By the end of this, you'll understand why I invited Anthony onto the show today. He is an expert in the Doctrine Covenants, all things, church history.

He is a professor of religion at BYU, Provo, in the Church History and Doctrine Department.

And I'm not going to give a big old long bio, Tony, but let's just get in it. Let's have fun.

I love the Doctrine Covenants. I love to teach it. I love

the marvelous revelations. We're not holding back. This is going to be awesome. Awesome. So,

today is doctrine of covenants 20 through 22. We're studying this week or come follow me. And,

man, is there a lot of material to cover today, Tony? Yeah. Big sections, big major sections, particularly section 20 as we'll talk about, this founding constitutional section and 21.
