Ep 164 S6 Cody Hancuff "Prophets of God" Andrea Muñoz Spannaus

November 24, 2025·32 min·2 clips

Spannaus invites youth to kneel, open their hearts, and pray for confirmation that prophets and apostles are God's voice.

Kirk welcomes Cody Hancoff back to review Sister Andrea Munoz-Spinaus's "Prophets of God." They start with a bit of banter about doing the discussion cold, and keep the whole thing loose and unrehearsed. Kirk sets the frame with a reminder that Heavenly Father's plan is real, that mortal choices matter, and that the Savior's atonement makes the plan possible. Cody stays in that same grounded register, treating the talk as something meant for everyday life. The conversation quickly turns to distraction. Email, scrolling, texts, and the rest of the day can crowd out spiritual attention before it really has a chance to. One practical answer is small and repeatable. Starting the morning with a scripture or quote of the day can put prophetic teaching in mind before everything else takes over. They do not treat that habit as flashy. They treat it as a way to make a little room spiritually. The episode keeps circling back to a question Sister Munoz-Spinaus asks youth. Do you want to know whether there are men on earth whom God speaks to? Kirk and Cody treat that as more than a rhetorical flourish. It is a challenge that asks for willingness, deliberate time, and real follow-through. They then broaden the point into a personal one. People often struggle to answer what they want because their lives are crowded with too many small things. The same problem shows up in spiritual life. If you really want to understand and follow prophets, you have to clear space for that desire to become action. The closing turns formal and testimonial again, affirming that living prophets are called by God to carry forth and lead his kingdom on earth today. The episode ends with that steady conviction still intact, after a conversation that stays direct and practical throughout.
