Join me as I talk with John Hilton III, a BYU religion professor and seasoned author, about the benefits and drawbacks of fence laws. Fence laws are personal boundaries and rules we create to help us keep the commandments and our covenants. We can be tempted in our church culture to impose our personal fence laws on others, leading to unrighteous judgment, offense, and incorrect teachings and risk focusing more on the fence law than the actual gospel doctrine or principal. Join us as we explore this important topic.
