Bite-Sized Book of Mormon

This episode, we read Mosiah chapter 18! Abinadi's first full chapter post-mortem, the entire focus of this section is on our dear fledgeling missionary: Alma. He takes one single chapter to get several hundred followers of his own, at least 200 of which he baptizes himself! Alma is an absolute madlad. Abinadi's words really did a number on him.

This episode, we read Mosiah 17, in which Alma (ex-wicked priest) is converted and Abinadi has perhaps THE MOST cinematic death in all of scripture. It is so exceedingly dramatic and awesome. Tragic, yes, but still amazing. As my man was burning to death he got out some dramatic final prophecies regarding God's vengeance against their people, too. If I were with King Noah rn I'd be freak...

This episode, we read Mosiah 16—in which Abinadi finishes off his epic speech to King Noah and his lackeys. After all that he has said—the wicked priests are without a doubt sinners. They know their sins and now Abinadi's mission is completed. Insert fist pump here. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 15, in which Abinadi keeps spittin truth at the wicked priests of King Noah! This time, he gets into some more atonement stuff (what it is, what it does), and also (and more importantly), just who it is that will inherit the Kingdom of God. (Hint: I'm tryna be in that group!)

This week, we read Mosiah 14, in which Abinadi continues his tradition of quoting the Old Testament at the wicked priests of King Noah—he quotes a whole chapter of Isaiah! Which, you guessed it, is all about Jesus and how crazy and amazing and perfect He was. What a guy. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 13—and Abinadi is letting the wicked priests of king Noah HAVE IT. He's protected by God (like Nephi is that one time that L&L try to kill him), so he's untouchable. He quotes the BIBLE at em, dude. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 12—where Abinadi, in the face of an angry king who totally wants him dead, mouths off against his closest advisors. Abinadi is totally dead, but WOW does he go out with a bang. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 11 and are introduced both to King Noah, a famously wicked and self-serving king; AND Abinadi! A famously brave and bold prophet. Let's see how these two headstrong folks clash, shall we? Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This week, we read Mosiah 10—in which the Lamanites get salty at the Nephites for the same old reason, and the Nephites put them back in their place. They have the power of God with 'em—the Lamanites never had no chance. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we begin the record of Zeniff! AKA get ready for a ton of backstory on the people of Limhi. Y'all already KNOW I love me some good backstory. This one's a good one. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we take a gander at Mosiah 8. We peek into the interactions between the Zarahemlites and the Jaredites—and Ammon hooks King Limhi up with King Mosiah, who can translate the Jaredite plates for him! Why does he want them translated? Listen and see.... ooooooo.... Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we follow a group of Zarahemlites to find some of their homies that left to re-settle some of their older lands. At first, they're faced with threats, but once King Limhi learns who they are, they're welcomed with open arms. Good times! Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

In this chapter, we wrap up King Benjamin's speech, and his son Mosiah is crowned king (making King Benjamin... well, just Benjamin). Luckily, Mosiah is a righteous dude! What a homie. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read Mosiah 5—and we talk about the checkbox mentality, about the natural man, and about loving God. King Benjamin is awesome, y'all. Not sure that was clear yet. If it wasn't, it's definitely made clear in this episode. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we sink our teeth into Mosiah 4.... probably one of my very favorite chapters in all of the Book of Mormon. It's just packed with neato insights as King Benjamin lays out discipleship in simple terms for his people. King Benjo is quite the helpful guy 🤙 Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we get King Benjamin's own Jesus prophecy! He talks about the details of Jesus' coming, but also talks about sin, righteousness, and what people can do to reject the natural man and come closer to God. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

In this chapter, we begin King Benjamin's famous address! A very strong start, I might add. This episode is definitely worth the listen if you want to hear about the definition for the verb "to list" (the boat kind, not the organized person kind). Good times!

This episode, we begin the BOOK OF MOSIAH AAAAAA  no no, I'm not jumping out of my seat. That must've been you. Anyways, we read about King Benjamin (who Mormon properly hyped up) and his end-of-life plans (aka proclaiming his son to be king in front of everyone). Good stuff!

In this episode, we zoom forward in time to 400s AD to hear some thoughts from our dear curator and abridger Mormon! He's got some handy dandy lil words of wisdom—in addition to a full and proper hyping up of King Benjamin, who we will soon hear from. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This chapter, we get to read from five different people in the span of one chapter! We get the last thoughts written in the Small Plates of Nephi before we move on to reading the larger plates! Also, my history buff (and linguistics buff) majorly come out in this episode, it's lots of fun. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

This episode, we read through the entire book of Jarom! He is definitely a man of few words. We get some info about the state of things, Jarom gives us positively nothing in terms of doctrine, then he dips out and gives the record to his kid. I once again repeat: what a guy. (If you listen real close, you'll hear me flipping a page on my BoM at one point. Yes—when I record, I read out of a ph...

In this lovely episode, we read from the perspective of Enos, Jacob's son! Turns out, Jacob's genes make for a pretty awesome person, who 100% has the spiritual gift of faith. What a cool dude—sad we only get one chapter from the guy! Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

Happy 2025! Here's to the new year. Personally, I plan to spend the foreseeable future reading the BoM with you guys. In this chapter, Jacob absolutely schools a Nehor (this one's named Sherem). He gets.... smote..... by God. He got his due 😆 Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

In this episode, Jacob gets a little heated with his people who won't follow the gospel. The title is a bit of a spoiler for the advice he's got for those folks.... it's a fun read! Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom

Merry Christmas! What better to do on Christmas day itself than listen to me drone on about vineyards and olive trees and stuff. I KID! This chapter is amazing, and I totally got a lot more from it than I have in the past. God is good and He truly loves us so much dude. Find all of my links here: https://linktr.ee/bite.sized.bom
