It’s been a while... here’s an episode to let you know I haven’t abandoned you, plus a little something I wrote about Christ’s teachings in Third Nephi and how I see them applying today.
I’m trying to regain some momentum and start pushing out episodes more regularly. This episode is a short and sweet look into Alma 6, which is Mormon’s wrap up of Alma’s work with the Church in Zarahemla. Enjoy!

In this episode we study the execution of Abinadi, discuss his final prophecy concerning the Amulonites, and are introduced to a new character, Alma. Enjoy!

Since we have finished the small plates of Nephi and are now beginning to read Mormon’s record, I thought it would be useful to understand how Mormon organizes everything going forward. Enjoy!
I maybe bit off more than I could chew bunching these books together, but I think it turned out alright. Enjoy!
