Nothing like this wave of evil has ever struck our world. Not in the days of Noa, not in the days of Sodom. This is the last time when the Earth is at its most ripe in iniquity. How do we protect our children from the onslaught of evil? The constant bombardment of messages of perversion, and the anti-American propaganda? The Book of Mormon is the remedy to all of it. The pages contain doctrine that is undefiled. Your child cannot read the book without having layers of scales fall off their eyes. The book will dispel evil, and teach the true doctrine of Christ. It will become a shield and protection against Satan and his minions. It will help the repentance process start, continue, and complete. It will soften, heal, cleanse, guide, teach, compel, invite, bring faith in Christ, and bring them into his fold. Nothing on earth has the power to dissolve the false teaching of today's society. The world is destined to burn, but your child is not. Give them the Book of Mormon. It will literally save them from the burning that is soon to reign down from the skies.

He pronounces his son Mosiah to be King and Ruler over the people.  He teaches that when we are in the service of our fellow beings we are only in the service of our God. He promises that when we do what is right we will be blessed spiritually and temporally.

Amaleki then entrust the plates to King Benjamin.

Ali discusses the hit musical, The Book of Mormon, music, book and lyrics by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone.

There is only one chapter in Enos. We will read about how Enos prays all day and all night. We will also ponder how the savior will greet us when we see him again. Make sure you stick around until the end of the podcast, because we will also be talking with the amazingly talented Janice Kapp Perry, who is known for the music she has created. Songs like "A Childs Prayer", I Love to See the Temple" & "I'm Trying to be like Jesus".

What if I told you that the garden of Eden was really in Missouri and that Jesus Christ himself visited the American continent after His resurrection? What about the discovery of Hebrew blood in ancient Native Americans or the fact that a carved stone, containing Moses and the Ten Commandments (dated 100 BC), was found in Ohio in 1860? Who were these ancient civilizations, how are they connected to the Holy Land, and why was the Smithsonian so eager to cover up evidences that they really ever existed? This week I sit down with Rod Meldrum, one of the foremost experts on ancient American civilizations, to discuss these incredible artifacts and evidences that are coming out of the ground in our day. 

Jacob will tell us how the LORD will recover his people. We will read about Israel in the last days, and about the world being burned with fire. We will discuss the "Pleading Bar of God", and what it means to "Serve with Full Purpose of Heart". We will also be talking with Vai and Keala Sikahema about this chapter and their life experiences. This will be a two part interview. You can find the rest of our conversation in the next chapter, Jacob 7.

 Get your mind ready! This Chapter is the longest and probably the most complex chapter in the Book of Mormon.  This is the allegory of the olive tree which is an allegory concerned with the scattering and gathering of Israel. This allegory was written onto the brass plates by the prophet Zenos. The descendants of father Lehi will be the first to be gathered in the last days.The Gentiles will be grafted into Israel, & Eventually the vineyard will be burned.

Ep 87-- Ether 6:5-11 "5 And it came to pass that the Lord God caused that there should be a furious wind blow upon the face of the waters, towards the promised land; and thus they were tossed upon the waves of the sea before the wind. 6 And it came to pass that they were many times buried in the depths of the sea, because of the mountain waves which broke upon them, and also the great and terrible tempests which were caused by the fierceness of the wind. 7 And it came to pass that when they were buried in the deep there was no water that could hurt them, their vessels being tight like unto a dish, and also they were tight like unto the ark of Noah; therefore when they were encompassed about by many waters they did cry unto the Lord, and he did bring them forth again upon the top of the waters. 8 And it came to pass that the wind did never cease to blow towards the promised land while they were upon the waters; and thus they were driven forth before the wind. 9 And they did sing praises unto the Lord; yea, the brother of Jared did sing praises unto the Lord, and he did thank and praise the Lord all the day long; and when the night came, they did not cease to praise the Lord. 10 And thus they were driven forth; and no monster of the sea could break them, neither whale that could mar them; and they did have light continually, whether it was above the water or under the water. 11 And thus they were driven forth, three hundred and forty and four days upon the water." #TheBookOfMormon

Today we will realize that all prophets since the beginning of time have prophesied and testified of the Savior and the power of the atonement. We will talk about the depths and mysteries of God, and we will head a warning…..to not look beyond the mark…..It’s going to be a great chapter….Lets dive in.

Ep 79--What is of great worth to you? ... "the record thereof is of great worth; and whoso shall bring it to light, him will the Lord bless." (Mormon 8:14) #TheBookOfMormon

Ep 76. It's hard to see someone you love fail especially when you tried what you can to help them succeed. Mormon 6:17-18 "O ye fair ones, how could ye have departed from the ways of the Lord! O ye fair ones, how could ye have rejected that Jesus, who stood with open arms to receive you! Behold, if ye had not done this, ye would not have fallen. But behold, ye are fallen, and I mourn your loss." #TheBookOfMormon

Ep 75-- Mormon 5:1-2 "...for they looked upon me as though I could deliver them from their afflictions. But behold, I was without HOPE, for I knew the judgments of the Lord which should come upon them; for they repented not of their iniquities..." #TheBookOfMormon

In the last Chapter Jacob scolded the people for their immoral deeds. Today is a continuation of the same sermon. It has been broken up into two parts. So it will be much of the same. He warns them against Fornication, and every type of sin. He will also will speak to the Pure in Hear. I will interview  Elder Parker who is currently the Mission President in Jamaica.

Ep 69-- Mormon 8:3-5 "And my father also was killed by them, and I even remain alone to write the sad tale of the destruction of my people. But behold, they are gone, and I fulfil the commandment of my father. And whether they will slay me, I know not. Therefore I will write and hide up the records in the earth; and whither I go it mattereth not. Behold, my father hath made this record, and he hath written the intent thereof. And behold, I would write it also if I had room upon the plates, but I have not; and ore I have none, for I am alone. My father hath been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, and I have not friends nor whither to go; and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not." #TheBookOfMormon

Ep 64 -- Mormon 2:26 "...the strength of the Lord was not with us; yea, we were left to ourselves, that the Spirit of the Lord did not abide in us; therefore we had become weak like unto our brethren." #TheBookOfMormon

Jacob is Nephi’s younger brother. Sariah had Jacob some time during those 8 years that Lehi and his family traveled through the wilderness, between Jerusalem and Bountiful. Today with Jacob we will read and talk about Faith & Anxiety, the Pride Cycle, and what it means to magnify our callings. Jacob lets us know he will be focusing on spiritual things.

This is Nephi’s last chapter. I am sad to say goodbye to him. He has taught me so much, and it seems as though with his life experience he could have written so much more. In the end he has shared with us what was important, the things we need to know for our time. In this chapter we will talk about the Law of Consecration and read Nephi's beautiful plea to us, "the readers" to believe in Christ.

We will talk about speaking with the tongue of Angels, Feasting on the words of Christ, and the importance of Asking the Lord for guidance in our lives. We can have help daily, with every decision we ever make.  The Holy Ghost is willing to help us, its simply up to us to ask ….and then take action to receive the answers we need. 

Nephi talks about Baptism & The Holy Ghost. This chapter takes place about 559-545 years Before Christ. Nephi will be prophesying of Christ Baptism. Nephi will teach “The Doctrine of Christ”. In order to receive eternal life, we must exercise faith in Jesus Christ, repent of our sins, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. I will also interview  President Steven Tueller and hiss wife Laurie Tueller.

The Book of Mormon will be taken back to the Lamanite People, the descendants of Lehi and the Gentiles. All those who believe in Christ shall become a delightsome people.  I will interview Terry Goedel who will tell us a Native American Legend about the Great White God. We will also talk about the current events and the fight against Racism. 

The Lord has spoken to every nation. There is more written word that we have yet to receive. The Lord remembers and knows us all. He will do a Marvelous Work, which is the restoration of the Gospel on earth. In the last days all scripture will work together to testify to the world that God remembers his children.

We will be talking about the false churches of the last days, the strategies Satan will use to distract us from righteousness, and how to recognize false doctrines. I will interview Letha Kingi, and we will talk about how to foster a desire in your children to discover their testimony of Christ. 

What does it mean to turn your heart to the Lord? What is in your way preventing you from making this shift in your life today? The Lord, who is your Savior and Redeemer has SO MUCH to offer you but you have to choose to accept it, to turn towards it.  Will you turn your heart today? 

We will be reading about the last days & the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. We will talk about how Isaiah’s words were fulfilled when he spoke of Martin Harris taking ancient writings to Charles Anthon to be verified. His response is proof that the Book of Mormon is True, and that the Lords work will be done. You can compare this chapter to Isaiah 29.

Nephi foresees The Son of Righteousness appearing to the Lamanites. The Lord says he will manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the Power of the Holy Ghost. The Lord tells us that all men should have Charity. 

Nephi glories in plainness. Nephi Proclaims We talk of Christ, We rejoice in Christ, We preach of Christ, We prophesy of Christ, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. Interview with Aaron Campbell & a special tribute to Margaret Fay Campbell

Compare to Isaiah 14. His hand is stretched out upon all Nations. Lucifer was cast out of Heaven. Israel will triumph over Babylon. Isaiah speaks of signs we can see happening in our day and time now, with the Coronavirus. I will also interview Dezi Lynn Hendershot and we will talk about Scripture, Parenting, and Navajo Culture. 

This week in the Come follow me program I was struck by what happened to Jacob in the book of Jacob 7:8.  I want to be like Jacob and be living my life in a way that will bring me close to God and be a vessel of His spirit whenever I need it.  What habits do you keep so you can be a receiver of God's spirit in your life? 

The lord will destroy the wicked and be merciful unto the righteous. The righteous are rare. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints announces that all Church Meetings are temporarily Suspended due to the Coronavirus. We will talk about how our current events go with this chapter by Isaiah. You can compare this chapter to Isaiah 13.

You can compare this Chapter to Isaiah 12. This Chapter is a song that Gathered Israel will sing in praise of the Lord in the Millennial Day. 

You can compare this chapter to Isaiah 10. In today’s chapter we will be reading about the destruction of Assyria, and the destruction of the wicked at the second coming. We will find proof that Joseph Smith is a True prophet of God, and we will be given a chance to reflect on how prepared we are as a people, as a family, and as a person individually for the second coming of Christ. 

The chapter will begin with a continuation of Isaiah’s prophecy in the last chapter. He will add to it another prophecy, and we will discuss the names of the savior. Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. We will discuss the imagery of His Hand Stretched Out Still, and what that means for us.

Isaiah is talking about War against Judah, who is Jerusalem. You can compare this chapter to Isaiah 7. We will learn that if we trust in the Lord's words, as communicated to us by his prophets, rather than rely on the arm of flesh, we will be protected during the wars in the last days. I will also interview Saanii Atsitty who is a Navajo Woman working at This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. 

This has easily become one of my favorite parts of Isaiah. In this chapter Isaiah sees the Lord. We will talk about and think about the animals in the Lords kingdom.  Isaiah’s calling and election is made sure, and he is given the gift of the second comforter. The Lord tells Isaiah to teach and write in a way that will not be easily understood, much like parables. Those who are ready to understand will.

In this Chapter Nephi will again share the words of Isaiah. You can compare this chapter to Isaiah 3. He talks about how Jerusalem will be punished for their pride, and disobedience. These may be patterns we will see in the future in the latter days. We will discuss the importance of respecting our elders and how our countenances will show his light to those we come in contact with.

 Nephi ended the last chapter by letting us know he was going to share more of Isaiah’s words with us. So you can compare this chapter with Isaiah 2. We will talk about the Temples that fill our world, and the idols we may have in our lives. We will talk about Christ being the Prince of Peace and how when we fill our lives with Christ he somehow turns our swords into tools that help us serve. We will interview my good friend Coral Barajas who served at Temple Square at the end of the chapter so stick around for her interview and thoughts at the end. 

Jacob tells us the reason for sharing Isaiah’s words. He talks about what will happen after death. Jacob discusses baptism, repentance and expresses his desire for us to prepare now to meet our Maker. 

 Jacob has been sharing the words of Isaiah with his family, and those who will listen. Today we will talk about Dragons, Two Prophets who have been prophesied to lie dead in the streets, and the Death of the heavens. You can compare this chapter to Isaiah 51 and 52 vs. 1-2.  

It is the beginning of the “ites” in the Book of Mormon. Nephi and his followers will deliberately separate themselves from Laman, Lemuel and their families. They will begin to be called the Lamanites and the Nephites. Their skin color will change and if you stick around at the end of the chapter I replay some clips of my interview with Brother Martins who will address this topic. We will talk about the importance of Temples,  the Pride Cycle, and find out that  Nephi’s has sisters.

FATHER Lehi will give his final counsel to his children and grandchildren, before he passes on. There are times in our lives when the death of a LOVED one brings us closer to the spirit, and gives us a desire to become better. To live in the way the Lord wants us to, so that we can see our LOVED ones again. I feel this spirit in Nephi as he speaks to us today. He has a renewed SENSE OF  FAITH in himself, in the Savior Jesus Christ, and the Plan of Salvation. His testimony in the end is Pure Poetry.

Lehi is at the end of his road, and in the last couple of chapters he has been addressing his family. In this chapter he will address his youngest son Joseph He will talk about his connection to Joseph who was sold into Egypt. He will specifically mention the coming forth of the Book of Mormon from the Prophet Joesph Smith. We will also discuss Shirley Heater's discovery that Lehi's blessing to his son Joseph is a beautiful chiastic structure. 

Lehi will continue to counsel with his children. He will discuss the fall of Adam, and the freedom that we have every day to choose right or wrong. We will discuss what it means to have a Broken Heart and a Contrite Spirit, and we will learn how sometimes our Afflictions will be consecrated for our gain, and given as an offering to the Lord. 

We have just Traveled with Lehi and his family to the promise land and now after years of Faith filled travel, Father Lehi is coming to the end of his road. He knows it will be his time to go soon and he wants to leave his children with some advice. He will be especially talking to Laman and Lemuel in this chapter today, and helping them to see the potential prosperity or destruction they might have in their futures. After the chapter we will interview Hi'i Campbell, and talk about her Grandmother Sister Au's Final Testimony. 

This is the Last chapter in 1st Nephi. In the last two chapters we heard Nephi share Isaiah's words with his family, his posterity  and with us. In todays’ Chapter he will explain Isaiah’s words to us even more. We will talk about how we can prepare for the Lords return, and how America was prepared to receive the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will dive into repentance and realize how important this is in our lives as we prepare and participate in the Gathering of Israel. 

Nephi will share Isaiah 49 with us. We will discuss the Gathering of Israel and all the different ways the Lord will do that. We learn that in the end, everyone will know who the Savior is. He will make himself known to all. That the Gathering will not leave anyone out, and he truly is aware of everyone and every situation. The Gathering of Israel is a process that will take time but we are all included. We are also helping to gather Israel, be being good examples to those around us, by going to the temple and doing temple work, by raising our children with the Gospel in their lives, and by following the commandments. Isn’t it fantastic that we are all a part of this amazing work. 

Nephi told us in the last chapter that he wanted to share Isaiah’s Words with his family, his posterity, with us, and anyone who would read these plates. His purpose was so that He might more fully persuade us to believe in the Lord our Redeemer. When we read this Chapter with that in mind we can really see Nephi’s purpose in sharing these parts of Isaiah. There are so many reasons for us to Believe in the LORD and to have Faith in Him, and his plan for us.   

Nephi finally finishes the ship with the help fo the Lord, and the family sets sail into the unknown. Of course his brothers will cause some problems along the way, and we will discuss how our actions can affect those around us. The faith of everyone is strengthened, as they see Nephi calm a furious storm. When they finally make it to the Promise Land we will see that the Lord blesses those with Pure Faith, in Abundance. What an amazing journey it has been. 

Lehi finds an amazing ball made of brass called the Liahona. This is used as a guide for Lehi and his family as they travel through the wilderness. At the end of the chapter we will talk with Tara Kingi about the Liahona's that guide our own lives. Nephi breaks his bow and the family is hungry, upset and tired of traveling. We will discuss how often the Lord gives us trials in our lives to prepare us for something that is just around the corner. 

Today as we read Nephi will see wars and the start of America. He will see the loss of many plain and precious parts of the Bible. He will see the records that he is keeping help in the restoration of the Gospel and the building up of Zion. It is amazing to see the Future from the perspective of the Past. 

Today we will be reading 1 Nephi Chapter 10. We will discuss the symbolism, and significance of the Olive tree, we will Imagine entering a  beautiful White Room. We will talk about the power a name can have, and we will see how Diligent Nephi is as he seeks his own testimony of TRUTH. Stick around because after the chapter discussion we will be interviewing Carmen Hetaraka. He will discuss Maori culture, language, traditions, and the connections they have to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will end with a Maori chant by my children.
