The Lord’s Anointed
from The Stone Coalition Podcast · host Jaren O'Driscoll & Kenneth Wilcox
In this powerful episode, Kenneth and Jaren dive deep into the often misunderstood phrase “evil speaking of the Lord’s anointed.” Many assume this warning only applies to criticizing church leaders — but is that what it actually means? Join them as they carefully examine the scriptures and temple context to reveal the true meaning: “The Lord’s Anointed” refers to anyone who has received their washing and anointing ordinances in the Temple of Christ, not just general authorities or local leaders. If you’ve been through the temple and received these sacred ordinances, you are one of the Lord’s anointed. This episode explores why every anointed member deserves respect, honor, and protection from evil speaking, gossip, slander, and backbiting. This is a timely and important conversation about accountability, spiritual protection, temple covenants, and how we speak about one another as disciples of Christ. 🔥 Key Topics: • What “the Lord’s Anointed” really means • Why this applies to all temple-anointed members • The dangers of evil speaking and its spiritual consequences • How to properly honor and protect one another If you’ve been to the temple, this episode is for you. 👉 Subscribe for more honest, scripture-based discussions on faith, covenants, and discipleship. #LDSTemple #LordsAnointed #EvilSpeaking #TempleOrdinances #LatterDaySaints #ChristianLiving You can contact Jaren or Kenneth by emailing [email protected] You can reach out to Kenneth on Instagram @kog.strength or Jaren @jaren_odriscoll
