Come Follow Me D&C Podcast 6, “That You May Come off Conqueror” -- D&C 10-11 Jan 31, 2021

Show notes

February 1-7

As you read the Doctrine and Covenants, section 10 seems out of place chronologically. Since it talks about Martin Harris and the translation of the 116 pages, shouldn’t it come after Section 3? What happened? We’ll tell you today.

Come Follow Me D&C Podcast 5, “This is the Spirit of Revelation” -- D&C 6-9 Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

January 25-31

Just a few months after the 116 manuscript pages of the Book of Lehi were lost, a young man arrived in Manchester, New York. He was five feet five inches tall, with dark brown eyes, a slight build, a prominent lower jaw, high forehead and, as one described, a roman nose. He was hired to be a teacher in New York’s Joint District 11. The small frame schoolhouse was located just about a mile south of the Joseph and Lucy Mack Smith Farm on Stafford Road. In this first teaching job, he had 107 little “scholars.” Little did he know he would become a teacher for millions yet unborn. His name…was Oliver Cowdery.

Come Follow Me D&C Podcast 4, “My Work Shall Go Forth” -- D & C 3-5 Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

January 18-24

Joseph does not shy away from humbly including Section 3 in the Doctrine and Covenants, where he is severely chastened by the Lord for a failing. He could have hid it or polished it up to preserve his image, but because he is so honest, we not only get to see firsthand, the spiritual development of a prophet, but he also gives us all a deep teaching: “You should not have feared man more than God” (Doctrine and Covenants 3:7).

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 49, “Come unto Christ, and Be Perfected in Him” -- Moroni 10 Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

December 14-20

I think it’s fascinating that Moroni starts out chapter 10 by saying that he’d like to send these words to his brethren, the Lamanites. That is a fascinating view of Moroni’s heart. He has seen the Lamanites completely destroy his nation. Because of the Lamanites, he remains alone. Because of the Lamanites, his father has been killed and all of his kinfolk and family are dead. Now, despite all this, he writes this most important message to his brethren, the Lamanites. How can any human be so full of the love of Christ?

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 48, “May Christ Lift Thee Up” -- Moroni 7-9 Dec 05, 2020

Show notes

December 7-13

Moroni Chapter 7 is a powerful sermon on faith, hope, and charity given by Mormon, but when? You can't help but wonder. He was born in AD 310, was made a general at the age of 16 and knew war most of his life until he had seen his whole nation decimated. Was this sermon given at the time when he gave up leading the army? Isn't it fascinating that there were still enough faithful followers of Christ that he could preach in a synagogue? Who were these people and did they become wicked too, even with this powerful preaching? It is so hard to know, but what we do know is Moroni was wise to give us this significant teaching from his father.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 47, “To Keep Them in the Right Way” -- Moroni 1-6 Nov 28, 2020

Show notes

November 30-December 6

Moroni did not know when he would die, attacked by Lamanites or some other deadly surprise, in his 36-year wandering. He tells his latter-day readers goodbye more than once on the plates. Yet even living with that insecurity, not knowing his own mortal future, Moroni trudges on with absolute faith.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 46, “By Faith All Things are Fulfilled” -- Ether 12-15 Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

November 23-29

Moroni may complain about his weakness with words, but he has given us one of the most insightful chapters on faith in all of scripture. We will study it in this episode.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 45, “That Evil May be Done Away” -- Ether 6-11 Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

November 16-22

We go to a scene of spirits in the premortal world, anticipating. with perhaps some concern, their descent to a darkened world. We knew we would be taking a journey and must have wondered how we could make it across the wilderness where so much would be insecure.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 44, “Rend that Veil of Unbelief" -- Ether 1-5 Nov 06, 2020

Show notes

November 9-15

Moroni told us in Mormon 8, “Behold, I would write…if I had room upon the plates, but I have not; and ore I have none”, so there is an untold story between these verses and the book of Ether. Somehow Moroni was able to get more ore and create plates because he gave us the marvelous book of Ether that introduces us to a whole new world.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 43, “I Speak unto You as if Ye were Present” -- Mormon 7-9 Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

November 2-8

As we start our studies today on Mormon 7-9, Moroni has taken over the record from his father and is in a tragic position. He has seen his culture decimated and he is the last survivor of what was once a thriving world . Could anything be sadder than this?
