Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #12: “This Is the Way,” 2 Nephi 31–33

March 18-24

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 chapters 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 Book of Mormon Podcast #11: “A Marvelous Work and a Wonder,” 2 Nephi 26-30

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #11: “A Marvelous Work and a Wonder,” 2 Nephi 26-30

March 11-17

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 Book of Mormon Podcast #10: “We Rejoice in Christ,” 2 Nephi 20-25

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #10: “We Rejoice in Christ,” 2 Nephi 20-25

March 4-10

I love that language of Nephi as he adds so much of Isaiah into his small plates. He says that he delights in the covenants of the Lord. (pause) That’s certainly a theme throughout the Book of Mormon. He delights in the Lord’s grace, justice, power and mercy. This is all code language for rejoicing in the atonement of Jesus Christ. And Nephi delights in the great and eternal plan of deliverance from death. These expressions of joy are in relation to the words and writings of Isaiah. That should get us excited about the materials we are studying this week!

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #9: “His Name Shall Be Called … The Prince of Peace,” 2 Nephi 11–19

February 26-March 3

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 Book of Mormon Podcast #8: “O How Great the Plan of Our God,” 2 Nephi 6–10

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #8: “O How Great the Plan of Our God,” 2 Nephi 6–10

February 19-25

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 Book of Mormon Podcast #7: “We Lived after the Manner of Happiness,” 2 Nephi 3-5

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #7: “We Lived after the Manner of Happiness,” 2 Nephi 3-5

February 12-18

One of the most exciting discoveries in reading the Book of Mormon is when we come upon quotations and extracts from the plates of brass! This is that ancient, sacred record that the sons of Lehi returned to Jerusalem and risked their lives to obtain. This is a record much larger than our Old Testament and it contains the prophecies, promises and covenants of the Lord from ancient times. And this week, we get to study one of the most significant prophecies given by Joseph of Egypt that we have record of.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #6: “Free to Choose Liberty and Eternal Life,” 2 Nephi 1–2

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #6: “Free to Choose Liberty and Eternal Life,” 2 Nephi 1–2

February 5-11

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 Book of Mormon Podcast #5: “I Will Prepare the Way Before You,” 1 Nephi 16–22

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #5: “I Will Prepare the Way Before You,” 1 Nephi 16–22

January 29-February 4

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 Book of Mormon Podcast #4: “Armed with Righteousness and with the Power of God,” 1 Nephi 11-15

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #4: “Armed with Righteousness and with the Power of God,” 1 Nephi 11-15

January 22-28

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 Book of Mormon Podcast #3: “Come and Partake of the Fruit,” 1 Nephi 6-10

January 15-21

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!

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #2: “I Will Go and Do,” 1 Nephi 1–5

January 8-14

We all know the 1st book of Nephi so well, you may wonder if there is still more to learn. Welcome to the inexhaustible Book of Mormon that always surprises us with its spiritual richness and historical authenticity. You may know these stories, but we are about to enter a treasure room.

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #1: “Another Testament of Jesus Christ,” Introductory Pages

Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #1: “Another Testament of Jesus Christ,” Introductory Pages

January 1-January 7

I was reading a very short notice this past week in a local newspaper that was just over 300 words long.  This is not a well-known national periodical, in fact, it’s quite obscure—but the notice I read is probably the most important thing ever published in the news.  The paper was The Wayne Sentinel and the date was Friday, March 26, 1830.  This was the first announcement that The Book of Mormon was now available to the world.

Come Follow Me Podcast #49: “He That Overcometh Shall Inherit All Things” Revelation 12–22

December 25-31

Here’s the latest breaking news:  The major war that was going on in the pre-mortal world between the forces of Lucifer and the forces of Michael has continued—but it has changed locations.  All of Lucifer’s forces have been moved to this earth and continue to wage war against the Saints and the followers of Christ and His Gospel.

Come Follow Me Podcast #47: “Glory, and Power, Be unto … the Lamb for Ever” Revelation 1–11

December 4-10

There is often a certain dread that comes over us as we approach a thorough study of John’s Book of Revelation.  “How will I ever understand this book?  How can I figure out all the symbols and mysterious beasts?  Is there application in this book for me personally?”  In this week’s podcast and in one more lesson on Revelation to follow, we will give you some tools and some thoughts that will help you unlock this great book.

Come Follow Me Podcast #46: “God Is Love” 1–3 John; Jude

Come Follow Me Podcast #46: “God Is Love” 1–3 John; Jude

November 27-December 3

John is described as “the disciple whom Jesus loved”, and it may be no surprise that he gives us a deeper look into what it means to love and how it is done. Of all the things I want and hope for in this world, it is to learn how to be a person filled with love, but self creeps in at every turn. Let’s turn to John for help.

Come Follow Me Podcast #45: “Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory” 1 and 2 Peter

Come Follow Me Podcast #45: “Rejoice with Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory” 1 and 2 Peter

November 20-26

We know so much about the apostle Peter.  He is a hero to many of us.  He is the one who stepped so quickly forward to action.  He is the one who boldly testified that Jesus is the Christ.  He is the one who healed the sick and the lame and raised the dead. But how much do we know about the two epistles that he wrote before his martyrdom?  Let’s do some exploring and see what we can learn together.

Come Follow Me Podcast #44: “Be Ye Doers of the Word, and Not Hearers Only” James

Come Follow Me Podcast #44: “Be Ye Doers of the Word, and Not Hearers Only” James

November 13-19

Of the three men named James in the New Testament, which one wrote the Book of James? And another question: Is James actually a Hebrew name anyway?

Come Follow Me Podcast #43: “An High Priest of Good Things to Come” Hebrews 7–13

Come Follow Me Podcast #43: “An High Priest of Good Things to Come” Hebrews 7–13

November 6-12

When I was in college, my great desire was to develop an unshakeable faith, and so I tried many things. I went up the canyon hoping to be alone with God and pray for an hour, but I ran out of things to say in ten minutes. Then, a speaker came to my college ward who struck me as a woman with wonderful faith, and so I asked if I could go visit with her at her home and if she could teach me what she knew. But things began to open up for me when I read what Paul wrote in the magnificent Hebrews 11 about faith. Let’s explore today.

Come Follow Me Podcast #42: Jesus Christ, “the Author of Eternal Salvation” Hebrews 1–6

Come Follow Me Podcast #42: Jesus Christ, “the Author of Eternal Salvation” Hebrews 1–6

October 30-November 5

Who wrote the epistle to the Hebrews—Paul or somebody else? It has been a centuries old debate that Joseph Smith had an answer for.

Come Follow Me Podcast #41: “Be Thou an Example of the Believers” 1 & 2 Timothy; Titus; Philemon

Come Follow Me Podcast #41: “Be Thou an Example of the Believers” 1 & 2 Timothy; Titus; Philemon

October 23-29

What would you say to your beloved friends and followers if you knew this was the last time you would ever speak to them?  Such is the case with 2 Timothy as Paul has his last words penned by a scribe from a dungeon in Rome.  Paul’s words to Timothy, and of course from his other letters, would change the entire world.

Come Follow Me Podcast #40: “Perfect That Which Is Lacking in Your Faith” 1 and 2 Thessalonians

Come Follow Me Podcast #40: “Perfect That Which Is Lacking in Your Faith” 1 and 2 Thessalonians

October 16-22

We have many sicknesses today in our tumultuous world, but Paul aptly labels one of the most pervasive and contagious. We’ll call it the “shaken in mind” syndrome. Being “shaken in mind” is as deadly as it sounds, like something that would make you really sick. It is where stillness and stability and a sure foundation have fled.

Come Follow Me Podcast #39: “I Can Do All Things through Christ Which Strengtheneth Me” Philippians; Colossians

Come Follow Me Podcast #39: “I Can Do All Things through Christ Which Strengtheneth Me” Philippians; Colossians

October 9-15

Paul’s letters, or the Pauline epistles, are arranged in the New Testament in descending order of their length—with the exception of The Book of Hebrews.  These 14 letters comprise 173 pages, just about 43% of the entire New Testament.  This week we will be looking at the small epistle of Paul to the Philippians—those converts living in Philippi in the region of Macedonia, Greece and another even smaller epistle to the Colossians—those living in Colossae, a celebrated city of Phrygia just 100 miles east of Ephesus in modern day Turkey. And we will be looking at one particular very wonderful thing Paul taught:  “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Come Follow Me Podcast #38: “For the Perfecting of the Saints” Ephesians

Come Follow Me Podcast #38: “For the Perfecting of the Saints” Ephesians

October 2-8

What does it mean to be a “stranger in the world”? That’s a lonely idea, right up there with one of the saddest words in our language—homeless.  Paul tells the Gentile converts, “Now, therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the Saints” (Ephesians 2:19). Being a stranger in the world is what it means to be without Christ in our journey. A stranger in the world is exiled from Him and from home. That would be lonely, indeed.

Come Follow Me Podcast #37: “Walk in the Spirit” Galatians

Come Follow Me Podcast #37: “Walk in the Spirit” Galatians

September 25-October 1

The Book of Galatians is little known among us.  It’s only 6 chapters, in 149 verses and a total of 3,084 words.  Can we glean some eternal lessons from this brief letter of the Apostle Paul?  We certainly can!  In today’s podcast we will draw out some of Paul’s teachings that we think will bless all of our lives.

Come Follow Me Podcast #36: “God Loveth a Cheerful Giver” 2 Corinthians 8-13

Come Follow Me Podcast #36: “God Loveth a Cheerful Giver” 2 Corinthians 8-13

September 18-24

In this book of 2 Corinthians we come nearest to the inner feelings of Paul than in any other of his writings. As one writer said, here Paul reveals his “joy and depression, anxiety and hope, trust and resentment, anger and love.” We see his human qualities. Some writers have suggested that one of the best words to describe 2 Corinthians is that it is a defense. What would Paul have to defend? We'll discuss that this week.

Come Follow Me Podcast #35: “Be Ye Reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 1–7

Come Follow Me Podcast #35: “Be Ye Reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 1–7

Septebmer 11-17

This mortal experience was never meant to be easy—it was meant to be a school—but a school full of joy and wonderful learning.  Paul wrote to the Corinthians:  We are troubled on every side (have you ever felt that way?), yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” (See 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9) Paul sounds like he is talking to us in our day—not to the people living in Corinth in the 1st Century A.D.  Or was he talking to both?  Let’s explore this together.

Come Follow Me Podcast #34: “God Is Not the Author of Confusion, but of Peace” 1 Corinthians 14–16

Come Follow Me Podcast #34: “God Is Not the Author of Confusion, but of Peace” 1 Corinthians 14–16

September 4-10

In 1 Corinthians, Paul is addressing early converts to the Church who brought with them baggage and false ideas from their previous beliefs. To make matters even more difficult, they were far away from any central administration of the Church and so old ideas, firmly entrenched in their minds could clash with the gospel. Among these new converts were polytheistic Gentiles who had once worshipped idols, Jews who held to the Mosaic law, and all of the ideas influenced by the philosophies of Greece. How did Paul handle this whirlwind of opinions?

Come Follow Me Podcast #33: “Ye Are the Body of Christ” 1 Corinthians 8–13

Come Follow Me Podcast #33: “Ye Are the Body of Christ” 1 Corinthians 8–13

August 28-September 3

This week’s readings include some of the most important teachings in all the scriptures.  You’re familiar with them:  Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I AM NOTHING.  We’re excited to explore this most coveted gift from the heavens.

Come Follow Me Podcast #32: “Be Perfectly Joined Together” 1 Corinthians 1–7

August 21-27

Corinth was the powerful, bustling, and wicked trade center of the Roman province of Achaia. When Paul wrote what we call 1 Corinthians, to the members there, it wasn’t his first letter to them. That one is lost to us in time, but this second letter, that we call first, was motivated in part, by the concerns of a woman named Chloe and her household, who had written him. We’ll tell you why.

August 7-13

The book of Romans has some scriptures that are so familiar to us like “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ”, and at the same time, we may sometimes find it hard to understand what Paul is saying beyond those scriptures we know well.  Let’s dive in and see if we can unwind some of the mystery.

Come Follow Me Podcast #27: “The Word of God Grew and Multiplied” Acts 10-15

July 17-23

Preaching the gospel had been restricted during Christ ministry, with few exceptions, to the House and children of Israel.  In a series of days on the beautiful coast of the Mediterranean Sea—all that would change.  It reminds us of a very special day in June of 1978—a day never to be forgotten.

July 10-16

What is this surprise in the nature of Paul that he can go from “breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of Christ” one day and be a submissive disciple of Christ the next? Of course he had this stupendous vision on the road to Damascus, but is there something more we can learn about the life of Paul, itself, that can give us clues to his energy and passion?

For many people, one of the most enigmatic and mysterious parts of the life of Christ, comes after His resurrection when He spent forty days teaching the Apostles. What was the instruction that He gave them and is there some way to learn more? Do any sources give us a window into that teaching?

June 26-July 2

We’ve all been studying the life and mortal mission of Jesus Christ for the past six months.  Don’t you agree that you feel closer to the Savior now than you did at the beginning of your studies?  This week’s lesson has some surprises and is the culmination of the Savior’s perfect ministry.  How would you have felt if you had come to the tomb early that Sunday morning after your own pain and sorrow at the loss of Jesus—and you looked in only to find it empty?

June 19-25

After his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, another kind of agony was about to begin for Jesus who was already exhausted with the weight He had borne. Before the night was finished, He would be betrayed, falsely charged, scourged, spit upon and maligned in a trial that was utterly illegal. Why illegal? And who is the only mortal on record that Jesus refused to speak to? We will tell you in this week's podcast.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, “That first Easter sequence of Atonement and Resurrection constitutes the most consequential moment, the most generous gift, the most excruciating pain, and the most majestic manifestation of pure love ever to be demonstrated in the history of this world. Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, suffered, died, and rose from death in order that He could, like lightning in a summer storm, grasp us as we fall, hold us with His might, and through our obedience to His commandments, lift us to eternal life.”

May 22-28

We have two questions for you:  1) Which chapter in the New Testament did Joseph Smith make the most changes to? It’s Matthew 24 where Christ during his last week on earth told his apostles just what to expect before He would return. Here’s the next question: 2)  Do we have any precedent in the Gospel or in history where a people were preparing for the coming of the Lord; they knew He was coming; they knew where He was coming; they even prepared a place for Him to come—and then He came?  Of course we see this in the Book of Mormon—but is the same pattern happening in our time?  We’re going to explore this question in this podcast.

Jesus once told Mary at Cana that “Mine hour hath not yet come,” but now as we start this lesson that has changed as we take you to the beginning of the last week of His mortal life. Now he will say, “Mine hour hath come,” a statement that will break His followers hearts and have implications for every one of us.

May 8-14

Many questions were posed to the Savior during His mortal ministry.  If you had the chance to ask Him one question, in person, what would that question be? In this week’s lesson we have a very powerful question asked of the Lord face to face in his ministry and it’s worth all of us pondering about this specific question.

May 1-7

Have you ever given a party, invited many people, and no one came? In this week’s chapters, we’ll explore a parable about a great feast and how, when invited, many people found shoddy excuses not to attend. As we hear this story, it seems so strange that anyone would find any reason to miss a marvelous feast put on by the Lord, but he is talking to us. Are we, knowingly or unknowingly, rejecting wonderful invitations that the Lord offers?

April 17-23

The Lord often requires us to do things that we think sound impossible. Forgive seventy times seven? This does not mean 490 times, but boundless forgiveness, that we travel with forgiveness for those who have wronged us.

This includes the feeding of the 5,000, the rescue of the apostles while they are struggling against great winds on the Sea of Galilee, and the Bread of Life speech which motivated many of Jesus’s followers to desert Him.
