Bite-Sized Book of Mormon

This episode, we watch all of Alma and Amulek's progress with the people get literally burned to ash before their eyes. How do they deal with it? Do they get burned too (à la Abinadi)? Tune in to find out. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we continue listening (with great interest, in my case at least) to Alma's words to the people of Ammonihah. He covers things like the priesthood, God's foreknowledge, repentance, and most importantly—how to enter His rest. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read as Alma takes the reins from Amulek, and teaches Zeezrom (and the people of Ammonihah) a bit about God. Somewhere in the middle, Zeezrom stops listening to tear them apart, and starts listening to understand. He begins to 'inquire diligently.'

This episode, we watch from the sidelines as Amulek takes head lawyer Zeezrom on head first! Clearly, as you can tell by the title, Zeezrom got absolutely schooled. Good for Amulek. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Amulek's first words to the people of Ammonihah! He goes absolutely ham when some lawyers try and get him to say something contradictory or criminal. He's too cool to get caught by something so.... amateurish (said with comic disdain). Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

I appreciate that the moment that Alma gets a partner, the people of Ammonihah start deriding him for being the "sole witness" of the gospel. Little do they know, eh? Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

In this episode we are introduced to Amulek, who will soon become Alma's epic missionary preaching buddy! Alma gets kicked out for preaching in Ammonihah, comes back after an angel told him to, then promptly meets and gets cared for by Amulek. What a homie fr Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read about how proud Alma is of his people in Gideon! They're chillin out being righteous, and so he naturally gets right down to business teaching about Jesus Christ. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read a real short chapter—Alma's transition from preaching in Zarahemla to preaching in Gideon. He cleans up the church, gets everything ready, and is off on his merry way. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we dig through Alma's first great (recorded) sermon, given to the wicked people in Zarahemla. Throughout it all, he poses amazing, thought-provoking questions, pushing his listeners (and readers) to truly evaluate ourselves.  Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

Happy 100th episode! Here's to 100 more. This episode, we read Alma 4, in which Alma watches the church descend from being righteous to being worse than the nonbelievers. He decides to do something about it, and so he gives his chief-judgeship to Nephihah, and decides to strike out on his own as a missionary. Hoo boy am I excited.

This episode, we learn a bit about how the Amlicites are doing as they become part of the larger Lamanite culture. Do they mark themselves with red on their foreheads, potentially to signify blood? Gee, how'd you know. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we learn about another false prophet—this time, named Amlici. This guy is a lot more politically savvy than Nehor was, so Amlici actually almost gets elected as king. Not quite, though. And how does Amlici react to his loss? Why, he starts a civil war. Spoiler: I say "insane" like 7 times in this episode. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we begin the great and mighty book of Alma! This time around, Alma the younger is faced with a false prophet in his city, along with all of his wannabe copycat followers. How does one deal with a problem spreading through the city like a virus? Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read what feels like the epilogue to Mosiah—chapter 29. A system of judges is installed in the Nephite land—no more wicked kings (Noah, I'm looking at you)! Finishing off this era of the BoM and heading bravely into the next, we have rockstar missionary (and now chief judge/high priest) Alma the younger.

This episode, we read Mosiah 28—in which Alma the younger and his freshly angel'd homies get permission from King Mosiah (and God) to go preach to the famously hard-hearted Lamanites. Mosiah also translates the record of the Jaredites with some divine interpretive stones, no biggie. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we dig into Mosiah 27—in which Alma the Elder's wayward son (and his sons of Mosiah homies) get absolutely put in their PLACE by an angel of the Lord and Alma the younger spits BARS after he wakes up from his post-angel coma. This one's a good one. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read as Alma freaks out about an outbreak of sin and hate in the city of Zarahemla. What does he do? He prays to God. And what does God do? He gives him the most epic of revelations to help deal with it. Does it work. You fricken bet it does. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read through Mosiah chapter 25, in which basically everything goes right. A buncha people get baptized, Alma organizes the church in Zarahemla, and things are awesome. There are also some children of kidnapped-wife-marriages that decide to become Nephites. So that's cool too. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 24—in which we finish off the story that was set up in the previous chapter. How do the people of Alma get free from the Lamanites? Why, by trusting in and praying to God, of course. How else? Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode we read through Mosiah 23, in which we return to the people of Alma and watch them get enslaved (once again) by a wicked priest of Noah. Plot twist though, not only did they  marry the girls they  kidnapped  from the Lamanites a couple chapters back, but they also (big surprise) allied themselves with the Lamanites. What great dudes. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.s...

This episode, we read through Mosiah 22—in which the people of Nephi pull out a seeecret weapon to overpower their Lamanite captors... booze. The  entire city  is able to escape by night just because those guarding them were blackout drunk. What responsible guards. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we sink our teeth into Mosiah 21—in which Limhi's people are put under Lamanite burdens, become humble (after some hoohah) and then, by degrees, are delivered from their trials. A strikingly realistic and relatable tale of returning to Christ. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 20—and follow along as the Noah's old wicked priests, still in hiding, create a little bit of... shall we say, chaos. King Limhi defends his meager kingdom from the resulting attacking Lamanite army, and the absolute class and grace with which he does it is amazing to watch. What a guy.

This episode, we dig into Mosiah 19—in which King Noah abandons his entire kingdom at the first hint of danger, and forces many other men in his kingdom to abandon their families. Wow, what a great guy! Needless to say, once he doesn't let them go back to the city... they kill him. Whatever shall his successor, Limhi, do with this broken kingdom he's inherited?
