Where We Gather: Scripture Insights from Modern Day Disciples

The Where We Gather podcast was created to help you draw closer to the Savior through personal scripture study, meaningful conversations and simple acts of faith.

Since returning to full participation in her mid-30s, Audra has rebuilt her testimony from the ground up. She stripped away all the questions and cultural concerns and started with learning about and nurturing a relationship with the Savior.

November 04, 2025 • Audra Elkington | Relatable Scripture Study • Season 2 • Episode 3

In this episode, we explore the Second Article of Faith through a new lens.

What does “men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression” teach us about the plan of redemption and how is it relevant in our lives today?

I'm diving into this powerful truth and sharing how understanding personal accountability, agency, and Heavenly Councils can help us let go of constant worry for others and trust God’s perfect plan. You’ll hear relatable stories of parenting, prayer, and learning to counsel with Heavenly Father before anyone else.

Whether you’re a lifelong Latter-day Saint or seeking to strengthen your testimony of Christ, this episode will help you:

Find peace in your divine role and responsibilities
See agency as a gift, not a burden
Strengthen your relationship with your Heavenly Father through prayer and council.

Listen and discover how the Second Article of Faith can calm your worried heart and bring you closer to the Savior.
