The imperfection of LDS prophets | with Leo Winegar

Saints Unscripted Audio

We’re stoked to have Leo Winegar back on the show to talk about prophet fallibility. Leo talks about the importance of recognizing that prophets are fallible— they are far from perfect and may make mistakes. While the church is lead by God, the prophet is a mouthpiece and won’t always deliver or interpret things perfectly. As Sabrina says, if God wanted the church to be absolutely perfect, He likely wouldn’t have chosen imperfect humans to lead the church. President Nelson has recently been emphasizing the importance of personal revelation, something that will help us to interpret the words of the prophets in a way that connects us with heaven. Leo then talks about the need for us to avoid “congratulating” or “praising” those who are in leadership positions in the church. We can thank each other for rendering service but we need to remember that each person should have the intention of serving God, not of attaining any kind of glorious accomplishment. Leo shares a personal vision that he has had and it is INCREDIBLE
