Harper)","description":" In a world obsessed with speed, what if the answers we need come only when we slow down and listen? In this episode, Professor Steven C. Harper invites us to pause, reflect deeply, and attune ourselves to the voice of God. Drawing from his book Wrestling with the Restoration: Why This Church Matters, Dr. Harper combines rigorous scholarship with faith to thoughtfully address critiques of the Restoration. He explores complex questions\u2013such as the translation of the Book of Mormon and the origin of the Book of Abraham\u2013and counsels us to slow down and carve out time to ask, \u201cWhat do I know?\u201d and \u201cHow do I know it?\u201d Ultimately, Dr. Harper offers practical ways for us to develop our own personal of witness of Jesus Christ and the Restoration through careful study, sincere reflection, and spiritual seeking.
