Podcast by A Scripture Study Companion
This episode is for those who are in the middle of a trial or those who need a reminder to look back and see their progress. Nephi teaches us, through Lehi's example, how to have an eternal perspective in the midst of hardship and how to move forward with faith even when we can't see.
In this episode, we will explore questions like: What kind of angel was Moroni, and what did he teach Joseph? Why did Joseph have to wait four years to receive the plates? Is Joseph’s experience in line with the stories and doctrines contained in the scriptures? What is the Urim and Thummim? What is a seer stone? How were the plates protected after Joseph received them? How did Mormon and Moroni compile the plates?
Explores the testimonies of the three and eight witnesses of the Book of Mormon. Who were Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris? How were they involved in God's work? What happened to them? Who were the eight witnesses and what happened to them?
Explores the Book of Mormon Title page. Why is the Book of Mormon written to the Lamanites? What does being a part of the House of Israel mean? What did the title page originally look like?
