What is a Prophet? A Conversation between Terryl Givens and Matthew Bowman

Join us Thursday at The Compass in Downtown Provo or use the livestream link to watch

This Thursday, March 20th, Terryl Givens will be joined by Matthew Bowman to explore questions like:

• What is a prophet? Is it an office? A calling?

• What is the difference between the office and the calling?

• How many kinds of prophets does the Bible describe?

• Does the prophet prophecy?

• Do prophets err?

• Why are keys necessary in the church and in our salvation?

This event is a continuation of The Big Questions, a new Faith Matters series that seeks to expand and deepen our understanding of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We invite you to participate, either in person or virtually, as we discuss some of the most fascinating theological and historical questions that will come up during your study of the Doctrine and Covenants. We hope you find these conversations enriching and supportive as you walk the journey of faith.

In-person attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of these remarkable scholars. It’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss!

Watch a short video from Matt Bowman introducing this question and why it matters:
