Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 22, “Have Ye Experienced This Mighty Change in Your Hearts?” -- Alma 5-7 May 29, 2020

Show notes

June 1-7

I’ve always loved Alma chapter 5. It could be taken as the most introspective chapter in all of holy writ. Alma asks more than 40 questions of his listeners and really wants them to probe their spirituality in a deep way. But Alma wasn’t just talking to the people in Zarahemla—he is talking to us! So, to put it in our language and context today: If you have received a witness of this great work, if you have felt those wonderful feelings of the Spirit in your life, if you came to know something was true at some point in your life; can you feel so now? Let’s explore Alma’s teachings together.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 21, “They were Steadfast and Immovable” -- Mosiah 29-Alma 4 May 22, 2020

Show notes

May 25-31

Hugh Nibley calls Mosiah 29 one of the most important treatises on political power ever written. In fact, the Book of Mormon has plenty to say about good and bad political leaders. Why does a spiritual book have so much to say about politics? We’ll find out in this episode.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 20, “They Were Called the People of God” -- Mosiah 25-28 May 15, 2020

Show notes

May 18-24

When I was growing up and first learning about the story of Alma the Younger’s conversion in the Book of Mormon, I always pictured him as a rebellious teenager who hung out with the four sons of Mosiah and together, the five of them wreaked havoc on the Church. If you look closely at the record and put the facts together, you come to know something altogether different.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 19, “We Have Entered into a Covenant with Him” -- Mosiah 18-24 May 08, 2020

Show notes

May 11-17

I have often wondered what was on Abinadi’s mind as the fire that would engulf and kill him burned hotter and hotter. Did he wonder if he’d been a good missionary, because after all, there wasn’t a rush of converts from King Noah’s court.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 18, “A Light … That Can Never Be Darkened” -- Mosiah 11-17 Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

May 4-10

There are many times in our lives when we just have to stand up for the truth and, sometimes we stand alone. Has that ever happened in your life? Has it happened in the lives of your ancestors or the lives of your children? President Nelson said recently: “Why do we need such resilient faith? Because difficult days are ahead. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested.” This week’s material is a great lesson on boldness, standing up for the truth and being faithful when it is not too popular.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 17, “In the Strength of the Lord” -- Mosiah 7-10 Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

April 27-May 3

Elder Richard G. Scott said, “Help from the Lord always follows eternal law. The better you understand that law, the easier it is to receive His help.” The chapters that we are studying in this podcast demonstrate just that.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 16, “A Mighty Change” -- Mosiah 4-6 Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

April 20-26

Over our years of studies of the first 6 chapters of Mosiah we have all come to love King Benjamin and his marvelous teachings. We have the whole thing in our minds, don’t we? The aged King Benjamin; the anointing of his son Mosiah to be the new king; the innumerable hosts of tents surrounding the temple and families in breathless attention to their servant King. We have the setting down pat, but what about the setting in our hearts—if King Benjamin were to send a text message to all of us, desiring to know if WE believed the words which he has spoken to US, what would be our answer? And what would be our proof?

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 15, “Filled with Love Towards God and All Men” -- Mosiah 1-3 Apr 10, 2020

Show notes

April 13-19

Elder Neal A. Maxwell called the chapters we are studying in this episode the “Manual of Discipleship”. Since Mormon could include only the hundredth part of the records he had available to him, this may be the reason he zeroed right in on King Benjamin’s address and gave us so much of it. He knew we in the latter days would want to learn discipleship too.

A Message of Faith and Hope from the Proctors Mar 21, 2020

Show notes

This has been an unprecedented time in the history of our nation, our world and the Church. With news of the Corona Virus dominating the headlines and our mind space, we wanted to take a few minutes just to just relax with you, our amazing and loving listeners, and talk about faith, peace, calm and listening to the promptings and whisperings of the Spirit. You might be listening to this on the Sabbath—or it might be some other day of the week—either way, let’s just sit down together and talk.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 13, “He Works in Me to do His Will” -- Enos-Words of Mormon Mar 20, 2020

Show notes

March 23-29

I remember, following Enos’s example, of going to the woods to pray in my life, in fact, more than once. Then, I recently was talking about Enos with a friend, and he said he, too, had gone to the woods to pray. I know, Scot, that you took Enos’s example, but went to a mountain. I don’t think the location matters because it can be right in our own bedroom, but there is something magnificent to learn about prayer from Enos in his book.
