Bite-Sized Book of Mormon

This episode, we read as Christ continues to teach to the Nephites from up above—and, miraculously, the earth cleaves back together. At this, the Nephites turn from their mourning and lamentations into a bright joy and gratitude to God. Wow the atonement is a miracle fr Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we begin the words of Jesus Christ Himself among the Nephites. He isn't hanging out among them yet, but He's already talking about how to be saved through His merits and grace. Pretty sick if you ask me tbh Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we see the Nephites at the very cusp of Jesus Christ's coming: the signs of His death and crucifixion are given. And it's sheer and utter chaos. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we watch as the Nephites tear themselves apart in wickedness, by assigning themselves to their own tribes, and no longer having a central Nephite government at all. The chapter ends, though, with Nephi being an absolute baller and converting loads of ppl!! Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we watch the beautiful peace that the Nephites have created crumble before their eyes—not because of something outside of their control, but because of their own strugglings with sin and pride. They themselves fall down the deep dark hole of sin. Oh also the Gadianton Robbers are back. They can't just stay dead can they. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bo...

This chapter is split into two halves—first, the continuation of the story of the Nephites versus the Gadianton Robbers, finishing up from last chapter. Secondly, though, we get a Mormon cameo! He pops his head in to say hi, to explain himself, and to bear his testimony. He's a pretty cool guy. The book he abridged is pretty cool too tbh Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized...

This episode, we read as the Gadianton Robbers try TWICE to break the Nephites' stronghold. But unfortunately, these Nephites listened to General Conference and had seven entire years of food stored within the city. No matter what the robbers did, they couldn't break the walls of Zarahemla. Go get some food storage y'all Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode is a bit more optimistic than last chapter! The Nephites are still being (very boldly, now) threatened by the Gadianton Robbers, so Lachoneus and his chief captain, Gidgiddoni, work together to lead the Nephites well in the face of this threat.

This episode, we watch as the Nephites, the Lamanites, and even the Gadianton Robbers..... just get wickeder. Yay!!!! Such fun. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read as every believing Nephite is nearly killed—but the day before that happens, the sign of Christ's birth is given. A day, a night, and a day without any darkness. Nephite culture was completely changed. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read about the aftermath of Samuel's words—some believe, but most don't. When miracles, signs and wonders start happening, do the unbelievers convert? No. They dig in their heels. Signs from God really don't work the way we think they work. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we finish off the words of Samuel, with a resounding warning to the Lamanites. God misses them, and they need to get it out of their head that they are still His people. Because they aren't. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we get the joy of hearing Samuel continue speaking. This time, he talks at length about the signs of the coming of Christ—His birth, His death, and His mission. What a feast! Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we start Samuel the Lamanite's words! He's a touchstone prophet in the Book of Mormon (spoiler: Jesus Christ Himself chastises the Nephites when He visits because they didn't write his words down)—so we should definitely sit up and listen.

This chapter really emphasizes the vast difference between us and God—our nothingness versus His Holiness, power, and perfection. This chapter isn't about alienating us from God, though. It's about emphasizing the miracle that is His perfect love. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode is absolutely all over the place in terms of righteousness—in the beginning, the Nephites are wicked, then they get righteous, then they get wicked and the Gadianton Robbers (who were exterminated earlier in the chapter) reform a few years later in a slightly different form, the people get a little righteouser and then return to being wicked..... yeah. It's a lot. I feel for Neph...

This episode, we read as Nephi the prophet, after the whole debacle of the murder last chapter, receives the sealing power from God. It's a very dramatic scene. Once Nephi receives this earth-shattering power, and a message from God to the people, he doesn't even go home. He goes straight to preach to everyone he can possibly get himself in front of.

In this episode, not only do five people go to check whether or not Nephi's bold prophecy (that the Chief Judge was dead) was true, but those same five people get convicted for his murder and nearly killed. They're converted and later freed, after Nephi prophesies AGAIN exactly how to get a confession out of the real killer (the chief judge's brother). Very dramatic. 10/10 would wat...

This episode, we read as Nephi continues to speak to his wicked Nephite countrymen. Some people believe his words about the coming of Christ, many don't. To prove his point, Nephi ends the chapter with an absolute power move—prophesying that the chief judge is currently laying in his own blood... they can go check. Next chapter... they do.

This episode, we hear a bit of Nephi's anger towards his wicked countrymen. He gets asked point blank by a random group of Nephites why he is mourning for his people, and so Nephi takes the opportunity to absolutely let 'em have it. He has some awesome words for them, lots to learn from. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we watch as the Nephite/Lamanite dynamic flips on its head—this time around, the Lamanites are becoming more and more righteous... and their Nephite counterparts are uhhh allying themselves with murderers. Yay! Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, not only do we get the sons of Helaman (Nephi and Lehi) quoting some of the BEST words of Helaman on the planet (Helaman 5:12), but we get to read as an entire group of wicked Lamanites—and even a Nephite dissenter—are quite literally spoken to by God, and they are completely changed.

This episode, we watch as the Nephites go downhill and lose almost all of their land to the warring Lamanites. They end up cornered (title drop woah) in the northern border of their lands. They do get half of their stuff back, but not before repenting and coming back to him.... for a bit. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we watch as the Nephites tear themselves apart—with absolutely zero help (yet) from Gadianton and his band of murderers. What causes the civil unrest? Easy—pride.  Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read as Gadianton enters stage left. For those of you familiar with the BoM, Gadianton is really fricken important in just about the worst way possible. Even Mormon agrees. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom
