The Great and Spacious Office

After a long pause, the Section 121 Leader Podcast returns with a reflection on faith, leadership, security, and the quiet pull of worldly foundations.

In this relaunch episode, Stanley explores “The Great and Spacious Office” — the idea that the great and spacious building from Lehi’s dream does not always appear obviously wicked. Sometimes it looks respectable, responsible, stable, and safe.

Drawing from Doctrine and Covenants 121, Moroni 7, and personal experience with uncertainty, Stanley wrestles with a question many faithful leaders face: Do principles like persuasion, gentleness, meekness, love unfeigned, kindness, and pure knowledge still matter when the real world feels unfair and unstable?

This episode is not an argument against work, careers, or providing for a family. It is an invitation to examine foundation: where we place our identity, security, peace, and trust.

Core question:
Are we building on Christ, or merely decorating a worldly foundation with spiritual language?
