Scripture: Helaman 5:12

In this episode, Kevin Clayson and Justin Wright ponder what it means to build on “the rock of our Redeemer.”

They explore:

• Why Helaman says when the storms come—not if
• What “shafts in the whirlwind” might teach us about false or temporary shelter
• The difference between being redeemed and having a living Redeemer
• Why shame may cause us to speak to ourselves in ways Christ never would
• The contrast between temporary wind and hail and the permanence of a rock
• How joy and adversity can exist at the same time
• Why we sometimes refuse the very help Christ is offering us
• What it could look like to actually ask the Savior to carry our burdens

The goal isn’t to finish the verse or arrive at one definitive interpretation.

It’s simply to notice what happens when we slow down long enough to ponder.
