We've Been Wrong about "After All We Can Do" This WHOLE TIME?!?! (Was Bruce R. McConkie Wrong?)

Jeff Harmon (co-founder of Angel Studios) shares a fresh and powerful interpretation of one of the most debated verses in the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 25:23.By connecting it to Alma 24:11, Jeff shows that “all we can do” is actually repentance — not a long list of works. This changes how we understand grace, salvation, and what God actually asks of us.In this conversation we discuss:Why “after all we can do” has been misunderstoodHow Alma 24 defines the phrase for usRepentance as turning to Christ (not perfection)Why many Latter-day Saints conflate salvation with exaltationThe gift of repentanceThis is one of the cleanest, most insightful explanations of this verse we’ve heard.What do you think — does this change how you read 2 Nephi 25:23?#2Nephi2523 #BookOfMormon #Repentance #WardRadio #JeffHarmonChapter Markers / Timestamps (For ~28 minute video)00:00 - Intro: A Fresh Take on an Old Anti-Mormon Trope01:55 - Jeff Harmon’s New Connection in 2 Nephi 25:2303:38 - “All We Can Do” as a Defined Term in the Book of Mormon04:58 - Alma 24:11 – The Key Verse That Defines the Phrase06:05 - “All We Can Do is Repent” – The Powerful Re-Reading07:42 - Repentance as Turning to Christ (Not Working Harder)10:38 - Why This Changes Everything About Grace13:23 - Avoiding the Trap of Conflating Salvation with Exaltation14:11 - Scripturalnotes Sponsor15:33 - Repentance as a Gift, Not a Burden17:48 - Deathbed Repentance and Turning to Christ19:11 - Wounded & Healed vs. Damned & Saved21:27 - Final Thoughts on This Fresh Perspective23:53 - Closing RemarksJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .
