Y Religion Episode 110 - The Divine Origin of the Family Proclamation (Byran B. Korth)

Since its release on September 23, 1995, The Family: A Proclamation to the World has become a needed doctrinal anchor during a time of confusion and opposition regarding the centrality of the family. In this episode Dr. Byran B. Korth, professor and associate department chair of Church history and doctrine, discusses his article on the divine origin and inception of the family proclamation and details its inextricable connection to seership and revelation. “But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed . . . ” (Mosiah 8:17). Dr. Korth discusses the revelatory process used by prophets and seers to craft the proclamation precept upon precept during the nearly year-long process. Additionally, he explains two profound truths about the proclamation: first, that it serves as a response to the rise of the antifamily movement at world conferences of the United Nations in the latter quarter of the twenty-first century, and second, that it was divinely designed by the Lord’s watchmen to declare to the world the role of the family in God’s plan.
Each year, Brigham Young University Religious Education professors produce hundreds of publications on subjects related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This podcast brings this research into one place to enlighten the everyday seeker of truth. Interviewing the author, we discuss why the study was done, why it matters, and why the professor chooses to be both a scholar and a disciple. This is Y Religion: Research to Enlighten Your Mind.

I love this podcast. Even better with John Hilton III. If it is okay to ask, where is Dr. Anthony Sweat?

I usually enjoy listening to these. Especially when they focus on christ. This one I had to turn off as soon as I heard the topic. This subject, basically LGBTQ issues, is why I can't commit fully to the church. I had missionaries over to talk to my fully active wife and kids. They asked me why I struggle. I told them it's this document. I told them if they rescind this one document and embrace the LGBTQ comunity I would be all in. Then I see this, that it's now being embraced as cannon and divinely inspired. It's like you're trying your best to push out the younger generations, for a "purer" more conservative smaller membership. So disappointed.

I'm sure this is a wonderful podcast as all of yours are, but, PLEASE eliminate the background music. I want to focus on your words, not the music and I can't do both well. Thank you.
