Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 12, “The Lord Labors with Us” -- Jacob 5-7 Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

March 16-22

One of my favorite olive trees in the entire world is inside the walls of the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies in Jerusalem. I remember Truman Madsen telling us all about how it was long-lined from a helicopter all the way from the Galilee to the center. They were concerned about the shock of its journey, but they promptly planted it. And then it died…at least they thought it did. We’ll tell you all about it.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 11, “Be Reconciled unto God through the Atonement of Christ” -- Jacob 1-4 Mar 06, 2020

Show notes

March 9-15

When Jacob speaks at the temple in the book named after him, it is with both anxiety and boldness, setting an example for all us who have to teach the people we love in this difficult world. It is not a time to shy away from the truth.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 10, “This is the Way” -- 2 Nephi 31-33 Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

March 2-8

Any returned missionary will recognize the chapters we are studying this week. We used many of these verses when it came time to challenge a serious investigator to make the commitment to be baptized. In all our readings and studies of 2 Nephi 31-33, have we possibly missed some critical teachings for our own spiritual progress? Let’s study together and see what we can find out.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 9, “A Marvelous Work and a Wonder” -- 2 Nephi 26-30 Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

February 24-March 2

Nephi, of course is heartbroken because he has seen in revelation the destruction of his people. He says, “O the pain, and the anguish of my soul for the loss of the slain of my people” (2 Nephi 26:7). He says it consumes him. But he is given a promise of comfort. What is it? We’ll talk about it in this episode.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 8, “We Rejoice in Christ” -- 2 Nephi 11-25 Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

February 17-23

There was a story told of a man in war and in the heat of the battle he was shot in the chest. By a miracle he was spared being killed. As he was taken back to the safety of the nearby camp, he was examined and he had a small copy of the Book of Mormon he had been carrying in his uniform. They opened the book and the bullet had penetrated only into about the middle of 2 Nephi—right in the heart of the Isaiah chapters. It was said that even a speeding bullet couldn’t get through Isaiah—well, let’s try to prove that wrong today. Let’s have some fun studying these seemingly difficult chapters together!

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 7, “O How Great the Plan of Our God” -- 2 Nephi 6-10 Feb 07, 2020

Show notes

February 10-16

Do you know how many times the word “plan” shows up in the Book of Mormon? 66 times! How about in the Old Testament—only three times, and none of these is talking about the plan of salvation. The New Testament has no mention of “plan” at all.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 6, “We Lived after the Manner of Happiness” -- 2 Nephi 1-5 Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

February 3-9

How can Lehi who has suffered so much in the wilderness journey, including the murderous rejection of his own sons, Laman and Lemuel, possibly write that man is that he might have joy? Does he know something that we sometimes forget? We’ll find out as we study together.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 5, “I Will Prepare the Way Before You” -- 1 Nephi 16-22 Jan 24, 2020

Show notes

January 27-February 2

A theme is so prevalent throughout scripture, and especially in the Book of Mormon, that you would think we would never miss it, and yet we do. What is that elusive theme? We’ll tell you in this episode.

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 4, “Armed with Righteousness and the Power of God” -- 1 Nephi 11-15 Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

January 20-26

After Lehi had his dream of the tree of life, his sons had some choices, and, based on those, in the next few hours had radically different experiences. Laman and Lemuel went to their tent and fought about the meaning of the dream, and Nephi was swept up to a mountain and given a vision. What Laman and Lemuel missed out on in insisting on their war of words!

Come Follow Me BofM Podcast 3, “Come and Partake of the Fruit” -- 1 Nephi 8-10 Jan 10, 2020

Show notes

January 13-19

I remember once being so tired as we made our way out of a remote area of the Sinai Desert in Egypt. It was night and we wanted to drive all the way back to Cairo but we were just too exhausted from having hiked Mt. Sinai at 2:00 o’clock that morning. We pulled over to rest. We got off the main road and pulled up onto a small hill. We watched from our perch, as an occasional car would go by. And then it happened. We watched as a dark mist or fog rolled in like a slow-motion wave of the sea. We were both wide awake now—the mist completely obscured our view of the road below us—we could no longer see headlights or anything. It was almost an inky black. This was the mist of darkness Lehi had talked about!
