Conference Conversations: Sister Michelle D. Craig
This is our second conversation about a talk from the October '20 General Conference - Sister Michelle D. Craig's "Eyes to See." As we're discovering, these discussions are less a review of the talk, and more of a springboard to discuss what we...

Come Follow Me 2020: Moroni 10
This week we get the last reading assignment for 2020, Moroni chapter 10. We talk about what it means to exhort, and why Moroni keeps using that word. Also, why we're exhorted not to pray and ask if the Book of Mormon is true, but to ask if the...

Come Follow Me 2020: Ether 12-15
This week gives us one of the greatest sermons ever on faith - Ether chapter 12. I take some time to compare Ether 12 with other concepts from Alma 32, Moroni 7, and Hebrews 11-12 to show what the scriptures are trying to teach us about faith (...

Come Follow Me 2020: Ether 6-11
This week time REALLY starts to zoom by, and I think there's a good reason for it - the Jaredite record is a macro-view confirmation of the same patterns we see with the Nephites. It is a second witness that the Lord is no respecter of persons ...
