Alma 62-63We are wrapping up the Book of Alma in this episode and the principle of UNITY is what stands out to me.Mormon points out to us that it is the influence of the righteous who lived amongst the Nephites who enabled them to conquer their enemies and finally drive out the Lamanites.In our lives, when contention arises and there is a difference of perspective, how can we strive to seek after righteousness?I believe the examples of Pahoran, Captain Moroni, and the other Nephites who flocked to them for the cause of Liberty show us the power of the prinicple of Unifying or Uniting with one another.Though anger weakens our unity with each other, what blessings does Unity bring?In these final chapters we can see that Unifying brings stability, healing, and synergy.What does unity require? It requires acceptance, but what does the spirit of unity enable us with? The ability to allow God to intervene on our behalf and allow His grace to heal and accomplish what we cannot do on our own.Without the Lord's strength, the Nephites could not have done what they did on their own - they were out numbered and often found themselves weakened by the dissent of their own brethren, but the Lord's grace still enabled them to be victorious when they unified under the cause of liberty and exercised faith in Jesus Christ.

How do we exercise faith?Alma and Amulek teach the poor among the Zoramites who had been humbled because of the mistreatment of their neighbors, that they can be spiritually self-reliant by likening the word of God to a seed.

Alma 30The antithesis of JOY is ANTICHRIST, for if JOY is found in Jesus, the removal and denial of Jesus is to remove true JOY from our lives. Preserved in the Book of Mormon are the strategies and cons of the philosophies of an anti-Christ named Korihor. But be aware that there is not just one anti-Christ. We live in a world full of them and to learn their teachings and truly consider what we would be purchasing if we bought into their teachings is crucial in sharpening our discernment.How important is Jesus?He is everything.That's why satan devotes everything he is to distracting us from the true source of our JOY.

Alma 29Alma Chapter 29 is a continuation of the JOY chapters - I just wanted to make it a separate episode.Alma teaches us that God grants unto us according to our desires. Do we desire salvation or do we desire destruction? It sounds obvious, yet it is the ultimate choice that we as mortals must decide between.Join us as we discuss the importance of our desires and how, once again - focusing on Jesus, on the redemption of others and of ourselves brings true JOY.

Alma 27-29I call these the "JOY" Chapters. In these chapters we find the true source of Joy. Lasting JOY comes not because we have finally obtained the perfect life or circumstance and not because we have finally achieved great status or accomplishment. JOY comes through Jesus Christ.J - JesusO - the redemption of OthersY - the redemption of YOUWhen we focus on Jesus Christ and His characteristics, when we love others and truly desire their redemption, when we open our eyes and finally grasp that through Jesus Christ we can be saved and that everything will be ok when He is our partner - we experience JOY!

Alma 25If we don't take a minute to reflect back, it is difficult utilize our faith to move forward.In today's episode we take a minute to reflect back on prophecies, personal revelation, and priesthood blessings that were fulfilled during this chapter of the Nephite/Lamanite history. God's word will be verified. He is a God of Truth and Cannot Lie.

Alma 23-24How do we make a mighty change in our lives? How do we let go of wicked traditions (or at least behaviors that aren't serving us) and adopt new ones? How do we allow "the plan of salvation to be made known unto us as well as unto future generations?"There isn't a better group of people to study to find the answers to these questions than the Anti-Nephi-Lehis.As you listen to this episode, please approach it with someone in mind that you desire to build more brotherhood with. Where would you like to make a change? How might this circumstance be given to you for your own good, for a miracle to take place in your life?Join me on Instagram this week to share with me your thoughts and desires to change.I have a couple of individual sessions available. From now until the end of the year you can purchase one on one coaching from me for $250.

Alma 19-22I'm concerned that there are too many of us who don't realize the faith in Jesus Christ that they posses and work in their daily lives. They wonder if they have faith, or how to get faith, or think that other's have more power in their faith to work miracles in their lives.In this episode, I highlight the various acts of faith that are taken by the Lamanites that Ammon and his brother Aaron will teach. These are the beginnings of a group of people who will be known for their exceedingly great faith and commitment to Jesus Christ - the Anti-Lehi-Nephis.I desire that you will see yourself in them.I desire that the power of your faith will grow as you acknowledge the faith you exercise and then intentionally take ownership of these devotions to God.In order to receive the ponder prompt for this episode, go to sisterscriptorians.com by Tuesday (November 23rd) and sign up to receive my weekly emails.

Alma 18The gospel is simple and the three pillars of eternity can bridge the gap between perceived divisions.There is truth and though the Lamanites had passed down the tradition that "whatsoever they did was right" the truths that1) God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth and He created man in His own image and know the thoughts and intents of His creations2) That a Fall from God was necessary - introducing the choice between wickedness and righteousness3) But before the world was even created, a plan for Redemption was put into play making possible the Atonement of Jesus Christ for each who choose Him.These simple truths were the beginnings that made it possible for thousands of Lamanites to be converted.

Alma 17As we study the sons of Mosiah and their preparation to serve a mission amongst the Lamanites, I invite you to liken the scriptures to yourself.Study the preparation that these young men engaged in, the sacrifices they made, and the role they took on as they consecrated their time, talents, and lives to be instruments in the hands of Godsisterscriptorians.com

Alma 17: 1-5Place yourself in the shoes of Alma, traveling from one city to another establishing the church, when there on the road are your old friends. After 14 years of not seeing each other, can you imagine the reunion of feelings these men must have had?But Alma rejoices when he discovers that the sons of Mosiah were still his brethren in the Lord.Have you been feeling a little lonely in your testimony lately? Voices of opposition are becoming not only louder, but closer to home for many of us. My hope is that we can, while still exercising Christlike love for those who disagree with our beliefs, build strong relationships with those who do.

Alma 17The utter destruction of Ammonihah and the verification of God's word came swiftly and completely.Today we learn from the efforts of Chief Captain Zoram who, in order to save the Nephites who had been taken captive by the Lamanites, went unto Alma, a man with the Spirit of Prophecy to learn how he could rescue his fellowmen from their enemies' hands.We too believe in prophets, seers, and revelators and after just experiencing General Conference, what specific instructions did we receive to help do the same?

Alma 14"Be it according to the will of the Lord," can be the hardest words to utter, let alone stand by, when we are feeling desperate or weak in faith.Listen and learn about the persecutions that the believers of Alma's teachings received at the hands of the Ammonihahites and also the faith that Alma had to break the bands and crumble the prison walls around him. This power only occurred when it was the right moment and was in harmony with the Lord's will.Do we have the strength of faith needed to rise and break the bands of our own persecutions?

Alma 13As members of the the Church of Jesus Christ, a challenge we have before us it to not allow the extraordinary to become ordinary; to not live below our privileges.Has the Melchizedek Priesthood become a little ordinary to you? Is it just who we are and that you've lived so long with it, you've forgotten its significance?In this episode, discover how Alma offered a rescue plan to the people of Ammonihah, teaching them how the plan of redemption is carried out by God and how His power has reversed course before when a people have chosen Him.Would you like to receive complimentary Ponder Prompts that help you more deeply apply the doctrine from the Book of Mormon?

Alma 12Alma teaches the people of Ammonihah the truth that, through Jesus Christ, all mankind will be resurrected from a state of mortality to immortality. When we teach the "WHY" of God's plan and the desire He has to rescue us from a lost and fallen state to give us immortality and eternal life, the "HOWs" make sense. This is how God parented Adam and Eve and this is how we can help our children receive understanding.Would you like to receive complimentary Ponder Prompts that help you more deeply apply the doctrine from the Book of Mormon?

Alma 12:1-19For the people of Ammonihah, to be of the Order of Nehor and to not believe in the resurrection, it supported their belief that they had no need to repent. They were abiding by a philosophy that fully supported the "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry for tomorrow we die" perspective. Their belief system enabled the adversary to lay his traps of lies and deceit dragging them further away from the ways of God.When Zeezrom discovered that God knew all of his thoughts and that Alma and Amulek spoke of a resurrection with a judgment, he began to listen.In this episode, we discuss how our thoughts, words, and works enable us either to receive more of the mysteries of God or to lose them. We learn how closely they are related to one another along with the relationships we have with ourselves, others, and God. To lie to man is to lie to God. That is what Zeezrom learned and the magnitude of that truth caused him to tremble.For coaching services, email me at carrie@sisterscriptorians.com.

Alma 10-11   Zeezrom, the primary agitator of the crowd and the examiner of Amulek in the city of Ammonihah, is a walking miracle of the complete cleansing and healing of the atonement of Jesus Christ. In today's podcast, learn where Zeezrom began and where the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ was able to take him. If Zeezrom can experience such cleansing, what is available to you? If he can be used in the work of God, what work is available for you?

Alma 10   The repentance of Amulek is a glorious example of how we can change course and allow our hearts to be softened. Right before the angry crowd of Ammonihah - a crowd who desired to imprison a prophet of God, Amulek chose to stand up and model the counsel that they had just received from Alma. Counsel on how to repent and change course. Sister Scriptorians, this week, we too have an opportunity to stop and change course. Just like an angel of God appeared to Amulek, telling him to return home because he is to feed a prophet of God, we too can return to our homes and invite the prophet into them. General Conference this week is an opportunity to feast with the prophet of God and partake of Living Waters and the Bread of Life, the food that Jesus Christ offers us and fills us completely.

Alma 9 In Alma's teachings, he highlights principles that, when remembered and acted upon, assist us in the process of repenting. These principles highlight the characteristics of God and bring Him back into our remembrance when exercised. 1) Remember that God can do marvelous works (He is the Supreme Creator and Upholder of All Things) 2) The Lord has a hand in your life (He merciful and full of grace, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness) 3) God will verify His word (God is a God of Truth and Cannot Lie) 4) Beware of your judgments of others (God is merciful and is Love)   This week is registration for my online course, "Confidently Creating."

Alma 8-14   Before we can begin to understand the significant events that Alma experienced in the land of Ammonihah, we must first begin to understand the people of the city.   Join me for a four day course on Confidently Creating. Learn the principles of creation and how we can apply those principles to our every day lives. Create with confidence the desires that have been placed upon your heart. Learn how to move your goals forward, improve the relationships that have been weighing upon your heart, and experience personalized coaching to help you develop your own plan for creation.

Alma 8   Continuing on in his missionary efforts, Alma travels to the land of Ammonihah. He is rejected, spit upon, and cast out of the city. Being weighed down with much tribulation, Alma leaves to travel on, but an angel of the Lord stopped him and told Alma he has cause to rejoice.   When we are weighed down with much tribulation, we too can find cause to rejoice. Discover the pattern of how to rejoice in this episode.   If you are interested in signing up for my Confidently Creating Course beginnning March 22nd, go to https://sisterscriptorians.com/registration-for-confidently-creating-training/

Alma 7   Alma's experience with the people of Gideon was completely different than his experience with those in Zarahemla. He knew they believed, desired to repent, and had faith in the word of God. He saw their diligence and how they heeded the words he taught them. These were a people who were disciples of Jesus Christ and were in need of the tenderness the gospel provides. And that is what Alma taught them. He spoke of the Savior and how intimately the Savior knows His children, because he suffered for their infirmities so he would know exactly how to succor them and blot out their transgressions. Such truths about our Redeemer gives me hope of better things to come, courage to give up my fears, confidence that Jesus has my back when I walk in straight paths, and that His love can be perfectly provided for me in any given circumstance.

Alma 5&6 - Part 4   How did Alma know that Jesus Christ was real, that repentance was worth it, that it was possible for his heart to be changed, and that he would be accepted by Jesus Christ with open arms? He knew through the same process that we all engage in to know truth - through the spirit of revelation.   One more day is left for you to register for the Confidently Creating training that begins on Monday, February 22nd at 10:30 (MST). Go to https://sisterscriptorians.com/registration-for-confidently-creating-training/ to register before its too late.

Alma 5 - Part 3   Alma gives the members of the church in Zarahemla a reminder of who the good shepherd is, what He requires of us, but what He is willing to serve us with. His invitation is to all, but will you accept it?   This week is open registration for my Confidently Creating training beginning on Monday, February 22nd. You can register at sisterscriptorians.com or at https://sisterscriptorians.com/registration-for-confidently-creating-training/  

Alma 5 - Part 2 Have you received His image in your countenance? What does that mean? Alma, in his address to the members of the church in Zarahemla asks them if they've been stripped of pride, of envy, and malice towards their brethren. He asks if they can - right now - sing the song of redeeming love. Can you? Stripping ourselves of pride can be daunting, but Sister Scriptorians Coaching can be helpful in the process. This week is open registration for next Monday's training on how to Confidently Create. For $25 you can register for a week of training on how to define your desires and develop goals on how to obtain them.

Alma 5 This podcast begins Alma's two year mission, going from one Nephite city to another, preaching repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. He begins in the City of Zarahemla where he addresses the members of thhttps://sisterscriptorians.com/?page_id=6017e church, calling them to remember the deliverance of their fathers. Why would that be the perfect place to start for these members who have struggled with pride and inequality? Why would that be needful for these Nephites who have been affected by the false teachings of Nehor?   Also, I hope you will accept the invitation I extend to be a part of my Confidently Creating Training. Registration begins on February 15th and can be accessed here at sisterscriptorians.com or https://sisterscriptorians.com/registration-for-confidently-creating-training/

Alma 4   After the battle with the Amilicites, the Nephites humbled themselves and they grieved for the loss of their loved ones and their sustenance that was trampled down by the armies. Yet, they knew their mourning was because of their abominations and they chose to face up to their errors and be "awakened to a remembrance of their duty." However, soon, because of their prosperity, pride grew in the church and because of it, Alma would give up the Chief Judge seat in order to spend all of his time combating pride and inequality. How does pride show up in us? How does prosperity grow that pride? If prosperity leads to pride, why DOES God choose to bless us with abundance and how does it further His work? If you would like more guidance on how fear shows up in your everyday life, check out the work of Kim Giles and her book "Clarity Point."

Alma 2-3   The introduction of priestcraft into the Nephite society - a society that had just received their liberty, would ignite a drive for riches and power. Many would continue on in the belief system Nehor professed and another cunning man would rise up to impose these beliefs upon the people. We learn about Amilici and his push to be made king over the people, whether they desired that or not. We also see that rebellion against God and relinquishing our liberty opens to door to the ailments of bondage. Nephites will spend many years trying to close that door.

Alma 1   Before king Mosiah died, he had organized his people to receive their liberty and enjoy the blessings of self-government. However, within the first year of the reign of judges, a strong man named Nehor desired to chip away at the equality that had been established. Learn about the philosophies of Nehor, the man to first introduce priestcraft into the Nephites' society and discover the last ramifications it had.   Come join Sister Scriptorians on Instagram and take part in the conversation.  

Mosiah 27-29 In these final chapters of the Book of Mormon, we learn about the impact that humans can have on their fellowmen when they align their will with God's. They become instruments in His hands. When searching for peace amongst the chaos – look for the instruments in the hands of God who confirm your faith and publish peace and good tidings, who desire salvation for all, who use their energy to break down misunderstandings to build unity and friendship, who take measures to avoid contention, who reaffirm spiritual truths and warn against disobedience to those truths, who preserve your liberty and allow you to answer for your own sins. Where you find this is where you will find God.

Mosiah 27   What is the Lord's way in establishing equality among all men? In chapter 27, we find that the Lord poured out His grace upon the people when they stripped themselves of pride and haughtiness, esteemed their neighbor as themselves, and supported themselves with their own hands. Peace was established in the land for some time - however - persecution did return to the Lord's people. This time it was found in the sons of their beloved leaders. This episode also discovers WHY the Lord sent and angel to Alma, son of Alma, and what we were taught in Alma's redemption.  

Mosiah 26

Mosiah 25 How do you gather and unite four different groups of people, who have lived independently and have had their own spiritual manifestations of the Lord? In Mosiah 25, in the Book of Mormon, we learn how learning how humility, faith in Jesus Christ, and a willingness to listen to learn about the experiences of one another helped unite the people in feeling until they obtained power with God.

Referring to the Creation doctrine found in Genesis, Moses, and Abraham.   How did God create? What is my role in creating? and How can I partner with God in creating? In this bonus episode, I continue to provide strategies to help you apply the doctrine and principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ to our every day lives.

Mosiah 23-24 The people of Alma were a covenant people who had repented of their wickedness and desired to follow God. Yet, the Lord saw fit to chasten them. Why? In this episode we learn how a period of chastening always mean you've done something wrong. It can mean that the Lord desires to purify, refine, and subdue you and that quieting our fears and remembering Him is a good beginning to spiritually submit to Him.   sisterscriptorians.com  

Mosiah 21-22   This was a sore period of learning for the people of Limhi. They were without the strength of the Lord and their burdens were great, but by degrees He began to prosper them as the humble themselves before their oppressors and before their God.   Please go to Sisterscriptorians.com to sign up to receive the Ponder Prompts for this episode.
