Philippians • Professor Lori Denning • Oct 9 - Oct 15 • Come Follow Me

[@thedancepracticebyjoyhandy]

Just this week our 31 yr old daughter was incidentally diagnosed with hydrocephalus after being hospitalized and diagnosed with spinal meningitis. Last night we listened to this podcast and it was like a voice from Heaven sent to comfort her and all of us before her surgery today! What were the chances of this podcast being produced at this time? What were the chances of us listening to this podcast at the right moment?..since I wouldn’t have normally listened to it till next week. And what are the chances of a guest sharing an experience with hydrocephalus??? Wow! Just another manifestation of God’s love and tender mercies! Christ is aware of each of us and he helps us to feel his love through one another. So grateful for Professor Denning and her incredible testimony and this podcast! Thanks from the bottom of our hearts! ❤

[@janetrobinson2699]

Hope all went well with the surgery! Thank you for sharing how the Lord blessed you with tender mercies. I, too, have received tender mercies from our dear Lord and am so grateful!! 😊❤

[@brandonandtashamarsh3621]

My prayers are with you and your daughter. I know the fear and the learning you are in right now. My son was born with hydrocephalus, and we've learned and sat through many surgeries in 8 years. ❤❤❤❤

[@beckyrasmussen5699]

Um. Im speechless. I've been listening to every episode of this podcast for YEARS and at least once a week I think, I love John and Hank they're two of my best friends. I should let them know how grateful I am for their companionship while I hike, fold laundry, clean bathrooms or commute to work. But I never have taken the time to actually carve tine to say, "thank you" for these Come Follow Me Lessons. I love all the guests, some more than others. But, Lori, seriously stoke the show. She had me laughing, crying, feeling invigorated and learning in the most entertaining of all podcasts. She's brilliant and spiritual, hilarious, and absolutely delightful. I loved her authenticity. I want more Lori!!!

[@authorjessicahoopes]

Please Please Please have Sis. Denning on again and more guests like her! She brought so much amazingness to this and was finally someone I could relate to.

I was diagnosed with congenital hydrocephalus- had a shunt placed at 2 months old-I went 19 years without any issues and while serving a mission, I started to get really bad headaches/dizziness/fatigue. I eventually had to have the device replaced-the doctors told me afterwards I should have died on the operating table due to the trauma on my brain. I lost the ability to use my arms and legs for a time-3rd Nephi Chapter 17 where Christ invited those in the Americas to come to Him and He would heal them was a powerful reminder of Christ's love and reach of His atoning sacrifice. Fast forward to now-Ive had 16 brain surgeries since then and 3 back surgeries- My life was forever changed as a 19 year old missionary- it prepared me for the trials ahead. Thank you Prof Denning for sharing your story and for your inspiring testimony. Thanks to Hank and John for always giving me hope.

[@joicitsuchida6586]

Well I’m not from Spain, but from Brasil and for 15 years I’ve been living in a very small town and here the church isen’t established yet we don’t have missionaries in here so my family and I got to drive 1 hour every single Sunday even at Saturdays also because my husband was called bishop for about 6 years now and it is being a bless in so many ways eventhough is tough. We’re like many more members of the church around the world in remote places doing our best to live and share the gospel of Jesus Christ and help building the Kingdom of God on earth, so Yes, we can do all things through Christ even when it smeens impossible. And until the Lord says we’re free to go we’re going to stay here enduring to the end. Thank you so so so much for doing the podcast, please never stop. It makes me feel close to zion.

[@flowerofson-shine3539]

May the Lord bless you. I’m sure He is and will. I think you are doing more than I am sitting in my big community of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We take care of each other, and I feel blessed every day, but you are doing something so very very important.💕From Idaho.

[@markbailey3149]

You remind me of small branches where I served in Petropolis and Terezopolis in 1969. Keep the faith, Irma. The Lord loves you.

[@AshleySchulthies]

I had this on while making diner. I didn’t know my 10 and 13 year old were listening but they loved this episode and even paused it to see Lori’s helmet. Thanks for drawing them in.

[@kraz4paper220]

I love Professor Denning! I wasn’t familiar with her before and I have enjoyed her teaching SO much! Thanks again for another amazing podcast! Please keep it up! It’s just such a great blessing to me and so many others!

[@angiemann5147]

PLEASE have Hermana Denning on more. She is such an engaging teacher. What an amazing gift she has!❤

[@Krim-Girl]

Prof. Denning is wonderful!! I loved her helmet, her references to Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars things that I could connect with. I so appreciate her general outpouring of light and goodness.

[@taniasita466]

Thank you so much sis Denning for your heartfelt testimony about the love of our Saviour for us. I am going through tough times right now but so grateful for this podcast that reminds me our Saviour is always with us no matter what. I can't thank you enough sis Denning for your powerful testimony that touch my heart.

[@jwilckenful]

Sister Denning is a delightful soul! What wonderful insights. Thank you!

[@gnw1264]

Sister Denning is a gift! What a superbly-informed, light spirit!

[@latai007]

I’ve listened to your podcast from the beginning. I happened upon it by a miracle because I was searching for more knowledge. I love your guests. I love that I can recognize their stalwart testimonies. Also, I love reading the comments. It includes so many beautiful stories of conversions and testimonies. Thank you all and may God continue to bless you all and your families ❤🙏

[@kristayates8942]

What a fun guest! Lori is a great teacher, very memorable.

[@theajackson1313]

Thank you to Professor Denning for her insights and making thoughts and ideas understandable. I hope she'll be on many times in the future!

[@athenabowler3788]

Sis.Denning - I love your fun personality. I laughed and cried today. Thank you.

[@dalegibson3443]

Wow! Such a powerful testimony of how you came to know Christ, Lori. Thank you for sharing your testimony of the power of the Atonement and how it reaches so much farther than allowing us to be forgiven for our wrong doings. Your testimony was as powerful as if one of the apostles was speaking.

[@juliehamilton5890]

Lori rocks. Please have her on again.

[@hanswinters1]

Thank you for reminding and teaching the nature of Christ as he descended to truly know us and love us. My heart was reminded how close He really is. I am never alone! He is right here, ready to be my best friend. ❤

[@FlightParamedicRN]

Wonderful!! Please invite Professor Denning again!!!!!

[@carolynmonahan2488]

Love, love, love Sister Denning! My friend told me it is her favorite episode and I agree. I pray for all of you and thank you with the depths of my soul for strengthening me.

[@ronricks3613]

For some reason, I was drawn to the poem/song/chiasmus in Philippians 2:6-11. I went to Bible Hub and looked through 20 different versions. When I got to the International Standard Version, I found it in what I would call poetic form. It's worth a look. Thank you for helping me gain a desire to study deeper!

[@denacarnes1911]

Loved the ammunition of Paul. My kids kept saying " chased by an elephant" instead of " chaste, benevolent". Too funny!

[@lauracarpenter5283]

You absolutely have the best podcast! I look forward each week learning more and more.❤

[@MrAaronCard]

Sis Denning. Let me do the opposite of throwing a sandwich. Let me throw a "thank you"! Thank you for your faith that is pressing against the world (and winning). It takes catching a few sandwiches and rocks for a temple to be built. So grateful that you did your part. It strengthens me to do the same. Again, thank you!

[@loisleonard9436]

I'm greatful you don't clutter that beautiful, expressive and kind face with too much hair. I love it!

[@R3dR1der70]

Thanks Aaron. That is kind. I will take all the "thank yous" and less of the lunchfoods I can get!

[@MamaJLW]

If I could possibly double thumbs up your comment I would. Wonderfully written. Thanks for expressing so nicely what I was thinking.

[@Carol-su8hy]

This presentation is just so awesome! Thanks to all of you for all you do to further the Gospel of Jesus Christ!.🌈🌞

[@Andrewevens7590]

This particular episode spoke to me and touched my heart in so many different ways. I am not one to cry easily and the mustard sandwich story really got me and i felt the heartache. I will listen to this one again.

[@marciaxavier2585]

Thank you for this powerful lesson.

[@bettyking5032]

Thank you so much! This has helped me see my personal struggles in a new light and it is an answer to prayers.

[@R3dR1der70]

love these Saints!

[@dawnreeves6710]

Thank you for adding your nerdiness! 🤓 I always learn so much from this podcast and have increased not only my knowledge but my testimony. Follow Him is such a blessing!! 💕

[@sophiat2058]

Stops at 12.50mins on spotify to come and see what this helmet looks like 😅 lol love the commitment to the story

[@judiebalzer9005]

Wow. What a great teacher! These ideas are like granite in my mind now. Thank you

[@susaniverson760]

I’m loving hearing these scriptures taught and shared by you; people who love the Savior, and have spent much of your lives learning about Him, and understanding His scriptures. Thank you

[@renatemckendry104]

That was so powerful! Thank you so much! ❤️🇨🇦

[@cheriseelliott9230]

Beautiful! Thank you. ❤

[@zinawood4055]

You said prison was different in Paul's time. It made me think of how he got the paper and ink to write, that maybe he took their gift of food or money and used it to buy the paper and give us all a gift of his letter! In stead of getting food for himself Paul fed us first and to eternity! thankZ

[@jeffchrisfillmore9660]

Love your content, your testimonies, the sharing of your knowledge and your light. Thank you.

[@holleebailey8546]

Thank you Dr..Denning for sharing your experience. What a miracle you were able to get well! So glad! The story of Joseph who was sold into Egypt is my favorite! I have often noticed that "a certain man" was placed in his path to tell him where his brothers went. It wasn't by happenstance. Without this person, Joseph may never have found them and he might never have been sold into Egypt or risen to 2nd in command and saved his family and the whole country as well as others. I think he could have been an angel sent by the Lord. He allowed it and facilitated it even though he knew what Joseph was in for. I think it is the same for us when we face challenges. Some Bible scholars think he was the angel Gabriel. Genesis 37 14] And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. [15] And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? [16] And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. [17] And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

[@jturner4755]

I have come to know the atonement to be both intimate and infinite. It is infinite enough to cover all my sins, sorrow, struggles and weaknesses but intimate enough to cover the deepest depths of the one I am going through right now. It is infinite enough to cover everyone’s sins, sorrows, travails and weakness and offer everyone help but intimate enough to help just me at the same time. This I know.

[@ab87184]

And to think that a temple was announced for Barcelona, Spain!! I’m sure that little branch that met in your apartment has grown! Maybe even a ward now.

[@richardbarrow4620]

Thank you!

[@DrOblen1]

Love that the self-proclaimed nerd is wearing Rebel Alliance earrings. They complemented well the Roman helmet. 😄 All 3 clocks in the background are stopped. Any particular reason why they're all set to 11:25?

[@R3dR1der70]

DrOblen1, thanks for noticing. I take great pride in my nerdiness. I am guessing, that the clocks stopped are so discerning viewers, like you, have something to puzzle out!

[@R3dR1der70]

Maybe it is John 11:25, I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, Or Matt 11:25, The Lord's Prayer, Or Numbers 11:25, The Lord descends in a cloud, or D&C 11:25 Deny not the spirit of revelation, nor the spirit of prophecy, for wo unto him that denieth these things, or Alma 11:35 Yea, there is a true and living God, or 3 Ne 11:35 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and I bear record of it from the Father; and whoso believeth in me believeth in the Father also; and unto him will the Father bear record of me, for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost..... Boy, this is a mystery, but one with so many great potential outcomes....

[@CalebBrown228]

Thanks!

[@claytonstrong6851]

I knew i recognised the rebel symbol in your earrings. Gotta love star wars, the force, and the parrallels to the gospel.

[@robertlewis7208]

I served in the Salt Lake North mission and has things thrown at me

[@carolbain-cn1li]

When talking about Paul could go to heaven and be with Christ or be on the world and preach of Christ...just think of all those who have heard of Christ though his continuing on the earth. Over the thousands of years it has to be MANY!

[@monicastock249]

Good gracious. Sister Denning can teach

[@troybennett5734]

The self help people say "if it's going to be, it's up to me". But, wisdom in Christ should include "if it's going to be, it's up to me, and HE"

[@marciacrandall6034]

Brad Wilcox gave a devotional many years ago I've never forgotten when he took one of my least favorite scriptures and turned it around to one of my favorites (we are saved after all we can do) when he explained that the second we is not mankind/church but is me with Jesus Christ.

[@Arantza_Condie]

Sister Dennin, I hope you had good interactions with the Basque people! ❤

[@R3dR1der70]

I worked more with the Catalan people, and they were my "heart!" I did not have a chance to meet many Basque.

[@susanolsen8064]

SHE is good!

[@sherizaahd]

It looks like Lori has Star Wars Rebel Phoenix earrings. That's Cool!

[@carolynmonahan2488]

How can I get more of Sister Denning?

[@deborahdesanti3950]

Lori....yo fui diagnosticada con Hydrocephalus cuando tenia 50 años. Mi vida cambio para siempre. Tengo un shunt en el ventriculo izquierdo con tubos que drenan en mi abdomen. My fear was.... what if I wake up and I can't remember who I was.

[@R3dR1der70]

lo siento. Lo tengo iqual, un shunt hasta el abdomen.

[@Kayspod]

Deborah -- You will be okay, just don't expect it to be something that clears up immediately. Do a search on the internet about living with hydrocephalus. There is one lady who had her surgery when she was around fifty years old, and she's doing great now. She actually goes speaking tours on how to live with hydrocephalus and what to expect. I don't know how long ago your surgery was, but usually around six months after surgery is when you will kind of suddenly start feeling better. My shunt is on the right side.

[@gabrielaelenapecjakpsychol8364]

Love her ❤️

[@Gardeneredwards]

Lori is adorable.

[@marisolellett986]

Why am I no longer able to see transcript?

[@R3dR1der70]

It is still there. As you scroll down after the show notes, there is a button "show transcript." That maybe got clicked off. Try it and see if it doesn't pop back up.
