0:00.0	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.
0:13.0	We have a lot to talk about today, so let's get into it.
0:22.8	Hello, Scott. Hello, Scott.
0:24.7	Hello, Casey.
0:26.7	Here we are, once again.
0:28.3	And it's a new year also.
0:31.4	So a lot going on.
0:33.8	Welcome to 2025, man.
0:37.3	We get to dig into the Doctrine and Covenants this year, Casey. Like, we've been doing a lot of church history the last couple years, but this year, we're going to just focus in on the doctrine and covenants. How are you feeling about that?
0:45.4	I'm feeling pretty good, and I'm going to push back right away because we're still doing church history, right? It's just, this is the most important church history that we do. It's so important. We made it one of the four books of Canada of Scripture. And so we're still doing what we're doing with history. But now we're talking about like the big stuff. The revelations that really changed things and set us apart and put us on the path as a people.

1:42.7	For those out there that maybe don't know us,
1:45.1	don't know who we are, maybe you're new to church history matters this year. You're just joining
1:48.6	us to study the Doctrine of Covenants together. We want us first say, welcome. We're so glad
1:53.9	to have you with us. And maybe we should just talk about who we have been and why we're pivoting
1:59.7	now to talk about the Doctrine and Covenants this year.
2:03.2	Yeah. So we've been doing this podcast for two years and it was conceived on a trip to Navu, basically,
